The Canterbury UAD states that this was a Fremlins/Canterbury Brewery/Free House inn.

For the first 70 years of its life the Millers Arms was overshadowed by a 100 foot tall mill on the opposite side of the road. There was a mill opposite the site of the inn for about 800 years and the land on which the inn now stands was, for many years, marsh and wasteland.

In 1144 King Stephen sold Abbot's Mill to the Abbot of St. Augustine's. One condition was that all corn ground was to be for the use only of the monastery. Henry II later gave the mill to the people of Canterbury. It was leased out to various tenants by the City of Canterbury and in 1792 a new mill was built on the same site from plans drawn up by John Smeaton. This was a most impressive building.

On 17th October 1933, 'disaster - swift, sudden and terrible' destroyed what was then known as Denne's Mill and during the fire a large beam fell across the Millers Arms and the building was saved by swift action by the firemen.

The first part of the present inn was erected in 1826 when Mr Acors purchased some land for £30. His widow ran a 'Book and Ballad' shop there for a short time. Eventually an extension was added and the Millers Arms opened to welcome the thirsty workers from the mill. The innkeeper in 1862 was Isaac Pierce. He died in 1865 and his widow, Maria, married the next innkeeper, George Dalton. In 1888 Bedwell's Directory listed the innkeeper as Mrs Dalton.

In recent years the inn has been kept by the Taylor brothers who also became brewers when they started the New Cathedral Brewery in 1977. More recently they have extended the inn by building an hotel and restaurant.
