Excerpt from I Remember: Memories of a "Sky Pilot" In the Prison and the Slum June 14, 1845, in a primeval forest, and in no parish and I was born where I was born in con sequence of lunacy and murder. The forest was that of Blean, which once covered nearly all the country between Ashford and Whitstable, but was always pierced by the straight Roman Watling Street, from London to Dover, whereof the actual name survives in Watling Street in the City of London and Watling Street in Canter bury. I was born also on the top of a hill Boughton Hill (the name - derived from the Saxon barfzm, or enclosure for the gathered crops - is common in Kent; Boughton Aluph, Boughton - under-blean, Boughton Malherbe, and Boughton Monchelsea, are all East Kent parishes, almost of identical size, varying only from to acres). It is a steep sandy hill between F aversham and Harbledown, on the Canterbury road, of such height that one sees to Hadleigh across the estuaries of the Medway and the Thames, and would see London but for Shooter' 5 Hill, and the sea but for Lydden Hill, near Dover. Ou the top a few houses, and the church and Vicarage built for my father, and the schools afterwards built by him, are known by the name of Dunkirk. The church was built only in 1840.
