Built in 1402, it was originally known as Sluice House used for accommodating men who controlled the flood gates diverting the river Ash Bourne (Wallers Haven) towards what is now known as Normans Bay. In 1597 it was first mentioned as local 'watering hole' of shepherds, earning it the name of 'The Star of Bethlehem', which in time got shortened to 'The Star'. | Built in 1402, it was originally known as Sluice House used for accommodating men who controlled the flood gates diverting the river Ash Bourne (Wallers Haven) towards what is now known as Normans Bay.
