HISTORICAL SEVENOAKS
Sevenoaks is a town where history walks hand in hand with modern development, a town which has, in part, remained virtually unchanged for more than 150 years, a town with a rural and pleasant atmosphere and remarkable for its many fine buildings.
This video unveils an intriguing story from the first settlement nearly a thousand years ago to events which have taken place in recent history. With liberal use of paintings, photographs and maps it describes how ancient routeways and estates influenced the development of the town, how famous historical figures built and expanded the great mansion of Knole House. Major events such as peasant revolts, historical cricket matches and the Great Storm of 1987 are not forgotten nor are the town's fine old buildings and the people who lived in them..
