All Saints Church in Wouldham, Kent has lain below the North Downs, beside the River Medway, for almost 1,000 years. Hear this 50-minute fully illustrated talk, previously very well-received, and learn about the Saxon building of 1058, its history and its architecture. Learn about its anti-witch measures; its links to the Battle of Trafalgar; the unscrupulous lad of the parish who became Sheriff of Kent but who stole land from the peasants; its fifty year long argument over fishing rights. and how it gained from the local cement industry.
