More about this scene

Caption for Leeds Castle, 1892: The county town of Kent stands on the banks of the River Medway. The oldest building, the Bishop's Palace, fronts the river beside the great medieval church of All Saints. Maidstone has been an important market town since the Middle Ages, although today it is also an important industrial centre. Much of its medieval heart survives, including buildings such as the museum.
