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.

Hello. I have just found an old postcard of this image! It belonged to my late great aunt's husband. I'd love to hear your stories if you lived in this village around this time or have a relative who did!
