John Brunt VC: Remembering a WW2 Hero
Heritage Open Day: The John Brunt VC is a great British pub at the heart of Paddock Wood community for many years. Originally named the Kent Arms, on 3rd September 1947 the pub was formally renamed John Brunt VC in honour of a WW2 English soldier who won the VC. John Brunt VC was a well known local WW2 hero who died in Italy in 1944. He had enlisted in the army at the age of 18 and the family lived in Paddock Wood for 30 years.
The establishment was known as the Kent Arms during Johns lifetime but in 1947 three years after his death it was renamed the John Brunt VC to commemorate such unique bravery and courage. It is the only pub known to be named in this way.
