Woodnesborough: 
Sometimes called Winsborough, the village is reputedly named after the
saxon god Woden. At
one time the
sea came close to the hill on which you
can see the church and the original spire was used by sailors to find
their way into Sandwich without becoming grounded on the Goodwin sands. The decaying spire was little use after the
Stour silted up and it was replaced with a cupola in the 18th century. |
