More about this scene
Many fine old buildings line this long street, which was a pilgrims' route into Canterbury. St Barnabas's Church stands behind the two gate pillars (right), and a memorial in a nearby wall lists the village's fallen from the First and Second World Wars. Today little has changed in this scenic spot.

I too, recall the seat and many happy days spent lounging on it. Being a young teen in Boughton, I joined the Boys Brigade. I can remember 'marching' three abreast up the High Street from the Methodist Chapel to the cenotaph (seen just beyond the seat R/H side), outside St. Barnabas, bashing the life out of a side drum and holding up the traffic all the way. Ahh, happy days...

I grew up in boughton in the 1960s. This is exactly as I remember it. I used to sit on this bench as a teenager with friends. I am sure we drove the residents mad.
