Unfamiliar with the quaint customs of the south-east, when I first read the title of this monograph I assumed it had been written for the demented. Discrete enquiries subsequently revealed it’s actually based on the local saying that if you’re born to the east of the river Medway you’re a ‘Kentish Man,’ and west of the river you’re a ‘Man of Kent.’

Hence, one of the four sites covered by this volume lies to the east of the Medway, and the other three… well, you get the idea. So is this just a clever title in search of a book, or is there anything more substantial to this seemingly random collection of sites other than their geographical connection?
