The Village of Woodnesborough, Kent

line

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.
