More about this scene

This compact little village in a hollow south of the Hog's Back is benignly watched over by St Lawrence's Church, with its wooden 14th-century south porch. The remainder of the building, with its central tower and pyramidal spire, was rebuilt by J Croft between 1861 and 1873. A further modification took place in 1917 when three more clock faces were added to the existing one.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My grandad, Terry Chalk, was born in Seale sometime around the early 1940s. His father lived in Seale, and worked in the farm there. Terry later left and  married Jane Mitchell, and now they live in Ramsgate. Kent, he has two children and 3 grandchildren. I will write back when I have more details but until then please e-mail me if you knew him, or even just lived in Seale, and I shall pass it on to him at:       www.ieshamathews@googlemail.com Thank you, Iesha Mathews (was Chalk)
