A View To Kent Our journey starts in Rye
West Sussex just over the border from Kent. We enter Kent on Romney Marsh, in years gone
by notorious for smuggling, today it still has an air of mystery particularly in a winters
mist. This first video is really concerned with West Kent some of the places explored
being Tenterden, Tunbridge Wells, Chiddingstone, Penshurst, Lenham, Sutton Valence also
included in our video are views of Chiddingstone Castle, Leeds Castle, Penshurst Place,
Sissinghurst Castle and Bodiam Castle. Not forgetting attractions which take place
throughout the year, we have included steam trains, hot air ballooning, morris dancing,
and of course cricket on the village green. There is no
narrative with this video.
Canterbury
A video with full narrative which
captures the feeling, sights, sounds and history of Canterbury.
Beginning with the Romans we travel
through to modern times, visiting on the way St Augustines Abbey, the
Cathedral Precincts, city walls, Black and Grey Friars and of course the
city itself.
Settlements grew on either side of the
river before the Romans and during the Roman occupation the town grew in
importance until the 5th century.
St Augustine arrived in 597AD and
established Christianity. He converted King Ethelbert and built the first
abbey where the Cathedral stands today.
