Describing Sissinghurst Castle and Garden is not easy. Words like historical, poetic, iconic, beautiful, colorful, breathtaking almost come close to reality. It is a sanctuary dedicated to beauty. Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson fell in love with Sissinghurst Castle and created a now world-famous garden in a very unique way.

James the Greater (the Latin word 'major' is not translated as 'great' in English), to whom this church in Egerton was dedicated, belongs together with his brother to the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the surname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith. His grave in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Spain) is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

In the Guinness Book of Records (1989), Pluckley earned the record for ‘Most Haunted Village in England’ as it reportedly had 12 ghosts. While the record category is no longer used by Guinness, the village remains a hotspot — or coldspot, rather — for fans of everything paranormal. Ghosts aside, the village has a pub that serves food, a shop, accommodation, and a pretty Grade I-listed church. Some of the ghosts said to haunt the village include: a phantom coach and horses (spotted in several locations); the ghost of a Gypsy woman who drowned in a stream at the Pinnock; the hanging body of a schoolmaster in Dicky Buss’s Lane; the Lady of Rose Court, who poisoned herself in despair over a love triangle; and the Red Lady, who haunts the churchyard.

St James' Church dates to the 13th century and is built of Kentish ragstone. Nestling among trees on the outskirts of Egerton, the church stands in a prominent position and is a landmark for miles around. The church, which is Grade I-listed, has a wonderfully-serene atmosphere. The Greensand Way passes through the churchyard.
