More about this scene

This village stands near?Watling Street, three miles south-west of Gravesend. It gained its name from a river passage that once reached it from the Thames at Northfleet. The attractive 14th-century church here is worth a visit for the octagonal font inscribed with the signs of the zodiac. The timber-framed house in front of the church is 16th-century. On the left, in the foreground, is the Ship Inn. The gardens at Spring Head gained a reputation for watercress growing.
