OverviewKent is well-known for hops and oysters, the Channel Tunnel and Chatham Dockyard, but sandwiched in between these are towns and villages that each have a story to tell. This book takes you off the beaten track, to a world of daddlums and hufflers, gavelkind and grotters. While kings and queens travelled the highways on their way to and from the continent, the people of Kent quietly defined the new order, defended the nation and left teasing reminders of a past that may never be fully understood.
