More about this scene
Originally a separate village from Broadstairs and taking its name from the medieval church, this small collection of shops and houses lies inland from the sea. The great, grey battlemented tower stands eighty-two feet high and was used as a signalling station, continuously manned by four men, during the Napoleonic war. As a result it was afforded the rare privilege of flying the White Ensign.
