History

The village lies on[1] or very close to the ancient trackway known as Watling Street. This became the main A2 road from London to Canterbury and Dover, which ran through the centre of the village before it was bypassed.

Amenities

The village has a village green, a children's play area, and a village hall. It did have a public house, The Plough, and a garden centre, but these have both closed down.

gollark: I have a Pi, USB/SATA bridge and 1TB laptop disk lying around, so I was going to use that as a somewhat physically separated backup for my server.
gollark: People have done smaller ones to learn more about parallel computing things, but 26 seems excessive for that.
gollark: I bet 5 RPi4s would outperform that.
