History

Sir Thomas Alcher or Aucher founded the third Carmelite friary in England northeast of Newenden village in around 1242. It burnt down in 1275 but was rebuilt. It was dissolved in 1538. The site became the property of the Culpeper family, the heirs of the Alchers. [1] There are no visible remains but Hasted reports [2] that foundations were uncovered south of Lossenham Manor House and a stone coffin was found in the late 18th century. [3]

Archbishop's Palace, Charing, is an important heritage site dating back to the eighth century, and one of the earliest to be owned by the see of Canterbury. The current palace dates back to the late thirteenth century with later additions and rebuilding, notably under Archbishop John Morton in the late fifteenth century who 'made great building at Charing'. There was almost certainly an earlier hall on the site as the palace was said to be a favourite place for visits by Archbishop Dunstan (959-88) and Archbishop Thomas Becket (1162–70).
