More about this scene
This delightful rambling village acquired its name from the Saxon king Ehta, or Otha's settlement. But nearby Oldbury Hill has traces of Neanderthal hunters and an Iron Age fort on its slopes. For many years the village shop here in Ightham was kept by Benjamin Harrison, who achieved international recognition in the Victorian era for his archaeological work in this area. He died in 1921 at the age of eighty-four, and is commemorated in a tablet in the local church.
