Entering Fordwich


Having had a quick look round Sturry, we made our way to Fordwich, Britain's smallest town, nearby.

Having lived in Canterbury in the late 1990s/early 2000s, I knew that Fordwich would be well worth a visit.


Soon after crossing the river into Fordwich, we encountered the incredible building below which has stayed in my mind's eye since visiting Fordwich in the early 2000s:


Then, we saw the wonderful Town Hall:


Have just read that through having been built in 1544, Fordwich Town Hall is the oldest and smallest Town Hall still in use today, and that for hundreds of years, it was used as a courtroom and jail.

Would've loved to have had a look inside Fordwich Town Hall.
