More about this scene
Victorians flocked to see the Lovers' Seat in the beauty spot of Fairlight Glen. Tradition alleges that a naval lieutenant called Lamb trysted here with his sweetheart Miss Boys. Their relationship met with family disapproval, hence the secret meeting-place. The pair eventually married at St Clement Danes Church in London in 1786. The original seat was a long rock that tumbled away in a landslide.
