This feature is recorded in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment of St Mary Hoo Parish. The report states: "This hamlet [Fenn Street] situated at the western edge of the parish, included a number of cottages seemingly built on waste ground beside the road, and a public house, the Fenn Bell or Bell Inn. This was in existence by the 17th century and its name was said to derive from one of the bells used to guide travellers across the marshes in poor weather…The Fenn Bell Public House is the product of several phases of construction from the 18th century onwards, although the building may contain earlier fabric. During the 1880s the landlord was memorably named Time of Day. The building also retains a 19th century barn and stable… One building of considerable interest is the Fenn Bell Public House" (1)
