The Friars, Aylesford

Storia

The main residence of the Carmelite monastic order, which arrived in Kent in 1242, is located close to Aylesford by the River Medway, which is flanked with trees. During a quick stroll through the grounds, one may find artwork and structures that tell the riveting tale of the Aylesford Carmelites and Friars, who were expelled from their priory in 1538 and returned 400 years later, in 1949. Here you may see one of the best preserved mediaeval courtyards in England, as well as thatched barns from the 17th century and a pilgrim inn from the late 1200s.
