Almost nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint GEORGE, to whom the church of Benenden was dedicated, but the veneration of him stretches back to early Christianity. A martyr who is equated with George is said to have lived in the third century. The legend of Saint George as a dragon slayer is well known and widespread, however, and he is usually depicted - in paintings or as a statue - as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback. The memorial day of the very popular George in the calendar of saints is celebrated on April 23rd in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. Among other things, he is the patron saint of the English kingdom, and some of the orders and decorations awarded there also bear his name.

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Sandhurst Cross is dedicated, is – alongside Saint Martin – one of the most popular saints of all. His memorial day, December 6th, is probably known to almost every child in Germany – and far beyond. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots – which had of course been carefully polished – in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to also put out a small gift of food for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

The battlefield walk is inside the abbey grounds, so costs to get in. It’s an English Heritage site.
