Gun Green and Wenman family

A thread from the Hawkhurst community message board. Details are as the village guide last recorded them (February 2018) and may have changed since.

My husband's WENMAN family lived in Hawkhurst from 1778 until at least 1931. For some of that time they lived at Gun Green. We have just discovered that Gun Green is so called because there was a Gun Foundry there.

Can anyone tell us anything about the Gun Foundry? Does anyone have any links to the WENMAN family?
