We met up at the square in Lenham about 7pm, after dragging Dave away from the pickled eggs in the chip shop, we drove in convoy to the woods where we were to explore. We had a quick look in the woods at the possible iron age bank. Maybe with a little imagination but I'm not convinced. Then, losing two of our members who were busy looking at other holes, we wandered up the path to do a bit of field walking. I think the intention was to go further on the walk but everyone seemed to be enjoying picking at the field. The best finds of the evening were a nicely shaped flint and some bullet shells.We wandered back to the cars. Those that wanted to drove up to the next stop. We walked. It was a lovely evening and we didn't feel like we'd really walked yet. We went to a group of houses up the road where some of the members live on the site of an old manor house. It has it's own church which is what we had been invited to see. It was once a lovely little chapel. It was a ruin and the roof has been rebuilt. It is also very close to the site that was bombed during the war and many soldiers lost their lives. The church is used it for parties occasionally. Another member is keen on using his divining rods and was showing us where he thinks the original walls possibly were. Again I'm not convinced but I think there is something in it.
