More about this scene
This is the old village centre. The unusual war memorial and cross are on the left, and the massively-buttressed tower of the parish church dominates the skyline. There was a church here in Norman times, and stones from that building were incorporated into this church. Its list of vicars goes back to 1316, and it records bishops back to the 7th century. The Eastham Gardens, down by the ferry, were very popular, and over the years attracted thousands of visitors. They lost some of their glamour at the start of the 20th century and became a bawdy place. When the visitor numbers declined, the ferry stopped running here and the pier was dismantled. The gardens closed soon after; today they are a country park.
