More about this scene
Two miles south of Maidstone, this little secretive village perched on a hillside once had thirteen watermills within its boundaries, powered by the two main streams flowing into the River Medway. The shingle spire of All Saints Church rises above the surrounding houses, while halfway up the hill is the Tudor timbered Old Wool House, in which the fleeces of sheep were washed.
