Went to Pluckley the most haunted village in kent!

[Neilsouth]

I went to pluckley today , which is apparantly the most haunted village in kent , didn't see any ghosts but i found some stunning views, a ruined church with broken graves and an old church that dates way back. The ruined church had bird feathers on a number of graves , the area is supposed to be used for cults , bird sacrifices?

Photo's to come

1944 16th Aug.

The church received a direct hit from a flying bomb. Only the badly damaged tower and parts of the chancel wall survived. This photo was taken in 1944.

1945

The bells were removed from the tower and stored by the railway line from where the 4th was stolen. The belfry stage of the tower was then largely demolished.

1955

The 5 surviving bells were taken to John Taylor & Co., Loughborough. The new church and tower were completed.

1956

6 new bells were cast from the metal of the 5 remaining old bells and hung in a new tower in the new church by John Taylor.

1964

The ruins of the old church were made safe and a concrete floor was inserted in the tower at "1st floor" level.
