SUMMARY:Folkestone's 7th Century Royal Family
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Denis Pepper.\n  \nABOUT THE TALK\n\nThe seventh century was an exciting time for Britain.   After two centuries of uncertainty and constant danger the country was settling into some sort of order.   Christianity had been reborn and was providing a new political stability. \n  \nFolkestone was particularly vibrant.   It was the closest place to the continent and as such was the first landing place for many of the newest French fashions. \n  \nDoors open at 2pm for a 2.30pm start.  Refreshments will be served. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nDenis Pepper is Kent born and bred.  Raised in Chatham and Rochester\, after attending university in London he moved to Folkestone in the Sixties and has lived here ever sice.  His interest in the Kentish Royal Family started 15 years ago at Botolph’s Bridge Inn\, the inspiration for his series of historical novels based on the life of Saint Botolph.  Having written over 100 papers on the seventh century monk for The Society of Saint Botolph\, Denis is a leading authority on the subject. \n  \nABOUT THE VENUE\n\nThe Back Hall is located within the Cornerstone Centre\, formerly the United Reformed Church\, next to Folkestone Central station.  It is located on Castle Hill Avenue\, near the junction with Cheriton Road.  From the main entrance to the church\, walk towards Kingsnorth Gardens and take the path behind the church\, just before Bus Stop C. \nThe hall is on the ground floor with no stairs and has a disabled toilet.  There is a slight step into the entrance and a couple of 90 degree turns to enter.  If you have any accessibility needs\, please Contact Us so we can make arrangements for you\, including on-site parking. \n  \nTRAVEL TO THE VENUE\n\nBy Bus:\nThe venue is close to the Folkestone Central stops. \nStop A serves buses heading towards Folkestone town centre from Canterbury (16/17)\, Cheriton (71/71A)\, Creteway Down / Dover Road (76) and Hawkinge (73). \nStop B serves buses departing from Folkestone Bus Station towards Broadmead (74)\, Canterbury (16/17)\, Cheriton (71/71A)\, Creteway Down / Dover Road (76)\, Dover via Temple Ewell (91A) and Hawkinge (73). \nFor timetables\, to book tickets and to check for any journey delays or cancellations\, visit the Stagecoach website or download the app. \n  \nBy Car:\nThere is a controlled parking zone around the Cornerstone Centre.  Parking can be found on Shorncliffe Road or the dual carriageway part of Castle Hill Avenue.  Alternatively\, you can pre-book a space at Folkestone Central station via the APCOA website or app. \n  \nBy Train:\nTake the train to Folkestone Central station (one stop on from Folkestone West coming from London/Ashford).  When exiting the station\, turn right\, follow the road to the end\, then walk under the bridge on your right.  The Cornerstone Centre is the church in front of you. \nFor timetables\, to book tickets and to check for any journey delays or cancellations\, visit the Southeastern website. \n  \nBOOKING TICKETS\n\nTickets will be available on the door subject to availability – cash or card accepted. \nTo guarantee your place\, book on Ticketsource without fees by clicking the ticket below. \n\n\n \nShare This:
