The Fullers Arms was built prior to 1811 when the Pyramid in Brightling Churchyard was built, and was constructed as a coaching inn, most likely for visitors to Rose Hill Estate.
The original village pub was the 'Green Man' which stood directly outside the entrance to the church on the corner in the village. When Mad Jack approached the vicar to get permission to build the pyramid mausoleum, the vicar only gave permission if Jack paid to move the pub to a new position at Oxley Green about 1/2 mile away from the church. This was to prevent the congregation and bell ringers escaping from the long sermon's to the pub for a drink, then returning towards the end so hearing the end.
The 'Fullers Arms' is a now a private residence and there is no public access.
