Description
Mark Beech: A Village's Hidden Past In this in-depth exploration of Mark Beech, a small village in Kent, author Timothy Boyle uncovers the rich history of pre-Roman Kent, the iron industry, and the development of the local community. From its early days as a Jutish settlement to its involvement with Michelham Priory and the Boleyn family, the village's story is one of fascinating social and economic change. Boyle's research sheds light on the medieval manor, the Poor Law, and the village's role in both World Wars, as well as the devastating hurricane of 1987. This is not just a village history, but a nuanced exploration of the complex forces that have shaped its development over time. With a focus on the local community and its many traditions, Mark Beech offers a unique perspective on the history of Kent's High Weald region.
