More about this scene
Cranbrook's High Street, entering the town from Hawkhurst, and Stone Street, leading on towards Tenterden and Maidstone, form a L-shape with the tile-hung fascia of the 15th-century George Hotel at their junction. For three hundred years, the local magistrates' court was held here. Queen Elizabeth also definitely stayed here, when Cranbrook had become a rich centre of the cloth trade as a result of the arrival of émigré Flemish weavers. From the George's entrance, on the right, she walked on a mile of local broadcloth to Coursehorn, a Tudor farmhouse owned by a wealthy weaver, which is south-east of the town.
