Update on the Wesley boulder
I mentioned that the sarsen stone at the side of Sidonio's might be the stone, but Anne Cremer remembers a rounded pudding boulder on the corner of the road in front of the shop. This was covered up when the paving in the front of the shop was altered. By sheer coincidence I happened to look up the Eynsford entry in Arthur Mee's 'Kent' (1937):-
By the bridge, at the corner of a house facing the lychgate, is a huge boulder on which John Wesley stood to preach in the days when he used to visit his old friend at Shoreham rectory and preach at five in the morning, with William Blake fast asleep close by.

Old boundary stone,top of DARNS HILL (off Tylers Green Road) in Crockenhill Barrie recalls it from the early 1960's and it was located to the right of the dusty track, on the edge of the agricultural field. It was cylindrical in shape with a flat top. He wonders what happened to it. It probably marked the Eynsford(until 1851, before that Eynsford/Lullingstone parish boundaries and might have had a small incised inscription on it.

Living memory project: Earliest memory of the villages - this project seeks to record the earliest memory anyone has of the FELHS area. The idea has been to record earliest childhood memories, and this could relate to younger as well as older people. An extension would be to have as many 'early' memories as possible, which would include those who have come to the area from outside and what their first and earliest impression was. As only one vivid memory is requested this task need not be onerous, so please do jot down your memory and pass it on to the archivist (see contacts page)
