Wrotham - a quick shufti

The motorist passes by Wrotham and either drops down the hill to Maidstone or turns off to Borough Green or Gravesend. I decided to stop and see what was there. Plenty of pubs, a church and a school building converted to another use. I walked around the place hoping perhaps to stop in the Rose and Crown which a partially blind man assured me was the best of the inns. I am not so sure because by the time I got there the damn place was closed.

Still, the church was interesting and what he told ma about some cottages on the old London road turned out to be right. There is also an interesting gravestone in the cemetery - I found that for myself.

He was also right about the interesting buildings down St Mary's Road. I think the main attraction for the drinker and the visitor is The Bull.

The door to the old school building is interesting.

Anyway, stop by and explore or try the pub.
