More about this scene

The church occupies a particularly idyllic location. It is of 14th-century origin, and has some 16th-century and Victorian restoration work. Bishopsbourne is next to the Nailbourne, which runs along the Elham Valley eventually to become the Little Stour. Joseph Conrad, author of 'Heart of Darkness' and 'The Secret Agent', spent his final years in Bishopsbourne, and was buried in Canterbury.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I loved school. There was one teacher, Miss Castle, she lived with her sister in a house attached to the school. One day Miss Castle gave us all a small Union Jack flag and told us to stand beside the school wall as someone important was coming by and sure enough along came Winston Churchill, we all waved our flags and he gave us the V for victory sign. The purpose of his visit was to inspect a railway gun (The Bosche Buster) which was housed in an old railway tunnel further up the road.
