Shoreham

Shoreham is a pretty village on the River Darenth as it cuts through the North Downs. The village contains four traditional independent pubs: Ye Olde George Inne, The King's Arms, The Two Brewers and the Crown;

London-born artist Samuel Palmer, (1805–1881) lived in the village from 1826 to 1835 where he was part of a group of artists who followed William Blake and called themselves The Ancients. Palmer's work vividly depicts the local rural landscapes of the 1820s.
