More about this scene

Though Fawkham was given a station on the LC & DR railway in the late 19th century it has retained its unspoilt charm and tranquillity. Beyond the village green is the Fawkham Bakery, its painted sign smothering the broad gable. Fawkham's church, repaired and reseated by the Victorians, has a wooden tower and Norman windows.
