Kentchurch Court, Herefordshire
Kentchurch Court, home of the Lucas-Scudamore family has survived for nearly 1000 years through political alliances, intrigue, advantageous marriages and strong women!
Lying beneath Garway Hill in the Monnow valley, close to the city of Hereford, this beautiful historic house and gardens are not to be missed whilst visiting #Herefordshire.
Features of the gardens include a Rhododendron wood, walled garden and a vegetable garden. Around 250 deer live in The Deer Park, where examples of ancient trees including Yew, Chestnut and a number of large Maple trees can be found.
Kentchurch Court is steeped in history dating back as far as 1058 and a must visit for those interested in history and gardens.
The bone crypt. St Leonard's church, Hythe, Kent, UK
St Leonard’s Church in Hythe has the largest and best-preserved collection of ancient human bones and skulls in Britain. The collection of over 1,000 skulls is arranged on shelves in four arched bays; the ossuary also contains a single large stack of mainly thigh-bones and some additional skulls.
Many theories have been put forward over the years as to who these people were. The general consensus now is that the remains are those of many generations of Hythe residents who had been buried in the churchyard (evidenced by the deposits of soil within the skulls) and were dug up originally in the 13th century.
During the last few years the skulls and bones have been the subject of scientific research and study using the latest forensic analysis and measurement techniques. The results provide interesting new knowledge about the lifestyle of the people concerned and are overturning some long-held arguments as to the reasons for the cause of death of particular individuals, through evidence from their bones and skulls.
An Exclusive Stay At Dewsall Court
An exclusive stay at Dewsall Court in the Herefordshire countryside.
The luxury country house can be hired by anyone from families to film stars who want to get away from it all.
The house was originally built in 1644 but fell into disrepair by the 1960’s. It is rumoured locally that the SAS used the house to practise on for the Iranian Embassy siege.
The Robinson family restored the derelict house into a family house in the nineties and it became an exclusive use venue in 2009. It is now used for private parties, celebrations, weddings and exclusive holidays.

St. Mary's Harrow on the Hill

St Peter's Church Ightham Kent
Set in the medieval village of Ightham, St Peter's lies on a steep hillside overlooking the ancient buildings at the centre of the village. Records of the church date as far back as the early 12 century and in all likelihood was preceded by a Saxon building. The present church was almost entirely rebuilt in the 14th century.
The church is best known for the fine monuments in the chancel. Situated on the north side is the Sir Thomas Cawne monument dating to 1374. He built the great hall in Ightham Mote, close by, one of the finest moated houses in England. The second monument, alongside the east window, is dedicated to Lady Dorothy Selby, a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth I. Dating to 1641 the monument includes a bust of lady Dorothy carved by the Master Mason to the Crown. Another occupant of Ightham Mote, her various interests - music, books, needlework, flowers and, being childless, the poor children of the parish - are depicted around her.............
Explore the Isle of Sheppey Kent DJI Mavic Air
The Isle of Sheppey is an island off the northern coast of Kent, England in the Thames Estuary, some 46 miles (74 km) to the east of London. It has an area of 36 square miles (93 km2). The island forms part of the local government district of Swale. Sheppey is derived from the ancient Saxon Sceapige, meaning isle of sheep, and even today the extensive marshes which make up a considerable proportion of the island provide grazing for large flocks of sheep.
Today's island was historically known as the Isles of Sheppey which were Sheppey itself, the Isle of Harty to the south east and the Isle of Elmley to the south west. Over time the channels between the isles have silted up to make one continuous island. Sheppey, like much of north Kent, is largely formed from London Clay and is a plentiful source of fossils. The Mount near Minster rises to 250 feet (76 metres) above sea level and is the highest point on the island. The rest of Sheppey is low-lying and the southern part of the island is marshy land criss-crossed by inlets and drains.
Some Sheppey inhabitants like to call themselves Swampies, a term that began as, and for some people remains, an insult; for others it has become a term of endearment or a phrase for reinforcing identity.
Minster Abbey or, to give it its full title, The Abbey Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Sexburgha, occupies the highest hilltop position on the otherwise flat Isle of Sheppey in Kent and has been a place of worship for over 1,400 years.
Founded as a nunnery by the widowed Queen Sexburgha in 664AD it was endowed with land given by her son Ercombert, King of Kent. With no stone on the island the building material was hewn at Boughton Monchelsea and brought down the River Medway and the Swale. Examples of early Saxon stone and Roman tiles, (from an earlier Roman outpost of the garrison at Reculver which earlier occupied this hilltop,) can also be found in the walls of the St Sexburgha chapel. Three still functioning wells from the priory are located by the Gatehouse, under a shop in Minster High Street and in the garden of a house in the adjacent Falcon Gardens.
The priory was badly damaged, but not destroyed, by Danish Vikings in the ninth century and was further damaged in the 11th century.
Following the Norman invasion of 1066, King William the Conqueror partly rebuilt the church and priory and allowed nuns from Newington to take up residence. It remained impoverished, though, until Archbishop de Corbeuil rebuilt it between 1123 and 1139. He is credited with the unusual arrangement of two adjacent 'churches' with the northern church for the nuns and the southern for the parishioners. It is thought curtains were originally hung to cover the arches which separate the two churches. The stone for the Norman part of the church was imported from Caen from the same quarry that provided the stone for Canterbury Cathedral
