More about this scene
Here we see the heart of what many claim is Kent's prettiest village: the tower of its 15th-century flintstone church of St Mary's looks down on this spacious square lined with half-timbered Tudor and Jacobean cottages, houses and shops. The yew tree at the entrance to the churchyard probably pre-dates the building itself. The arrival of modern motor-traffic over subsequent decades means this generous space is now more often used as a crowded car park, and on the Spring Bank Holiday as the setting for an annual Pilgrims' Fayre.
