Cranbrook Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Kent, and around 12 miles south of Maidstone, is the town of Cranbrook. Geographically, Cranbrook is situated within the Weald of Kent - specifically the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known for its rolling hills and dense woodlands. At the heart of the town is the Church of St Dunstan. This dates from the 13th century with additions up until the 16th century, and some 19th century restoration. The church is Grade I listed, and is sometimes referred to as the Cathedral of the Weald. In 1290 a market charter was granted to Cranbrook. From the 14th century it became a major producer of cloth. This industry was aided by an influx of Flemish weavers to various towns across the country, including Cranbrook, as encouraged by Edward III in order to break the Flemish monopoly over the woollen cloth trade. Several medieval buildings stand in the town today, although this is not immediately apparent as some have had their timber frames obscured by cladding added during the Georgian period. In 1814 Union Mill was built. Seen shortly after the 1-minute mark, this Regency era windmill was built by Cranbrook millwright James Humphrey for Mary Dobell, who went bankrupt in 1819. The mill was then taken over by a union of her creditors, hence the name Union Mill. Standing at 22 metres (72 feet) in height, this is the UK's tallest smock mill (a name that comes from the resemblance to a traditional agricultural worker's smock). In 1893 a railway station opened in Cranbrook. This formed part of a branch line between the town of Paddock Wood and the village of Hawkhurst a few miles south of Cranbrook. The station, along with the entire branch line, closed in 1961. Today, public transport to Cranbrook consists of direct buses from Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Tenterden and various other nearby settlements. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
