The stained glass windows are lovely on a sunny day

The pub is busy, but I wandered past. The church and church yard in Salehurst are worth a visit.

Although their foundation often dates back more than a century – many were erected after the First World War (1914 to 1918) – they are by no means mere relics of a bygone era. The message of the almost ubiquitous "War Memorials," which continue to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny in villages and towns, remains relevant today. Despite certain similar basic patterns, the design of the memorials varies from place to place. But what they all have in common is the urgent appeal to remind us – each generation anew – of the necessity of preserving peace.

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously more common "war memorial".

This church was constructed in two phases in the early 13th century. It is noteworthy for its elongated nave and impressive tower.

This tower was erected by the people of Robertsbridge in memory of all those who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The plaques bear the names of the persons.

This pleasant stretch of the path runs between the train tracks and the Darwell Stream. Next to it, there is a small pond formed between the Darwell Stream and the Glottenham Stream.

The Salehurst Halt is a cozy local pub where you can enjoy food and drink. In addition to two picnic benches on the street, there is a terrace behind the pub and plenty of space inside.
