Things to do in Seasalter, Kent
A Saxon church once stood beyond the site of the Blue Anchor pub but it was washed away, along with a huge chunk of the coastline, in the great storm of 1099.
A larger church was built on the High Street in 1844 as the town expanded, also dedicated to St Alphege.
The pub has an interesting history and was used as a billet for the London Irish Rifles First Battalion during World War II.
They engaged the crew of a German airplane which crashed in 1940. The Battle on Graveney Marsh became the last military conflict involving a foreign enemy to take place on British soil.
The London Irish Rifles Regimental Association marked the 70th anniversary of the event in 2010 by unveiling a plaque which can be seen on the walls of the pub.
