Kenardington
Kenardington is just off
the B2067 between Hamstreet and Woodchurch on the minor road
towards Appledore. The church stands on a hill overlooking the
Royal Military Canal and Romney Marsh on the site of a Saxon camp
which was stormed by the Danes in 893 A.D. The church tower dates
from 1170 A.D. and the nave is what remains after the church was
struck by lightning in 1559. The parish comprises animal and arable
farming, fruit orchards, glass houses and a chicken farm. There is
a National Trust walk along the canal and picnic sites and nature
walks in Park Wood.
