“Tunbridge Wells, Kent: The Martyrdom of King Charles”

King Charles the Martyr, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

The article describes the author’s day trip to different churches in Kent. Starting off early in the morning, he dropped his partner off at work and then proceeded to drive to various churches, armed with cameras to capture their beauty. He first visited Penshurst Church, where he appreciated the memorials and tombs of past notable figures, including the Sidney family. From there, he moved on to Speldhurst Church, although he did not get to go inside due to the rain and the doors being locked. Driving onwards to Groombridge, he realized upon arrival that the churches he was looking for were actually across the border in Sussex, frustrating him. He then traveled to a church in Tunbridge Wells, where he stayed for some time capturing photos of the church ceiling and other details. During his visit, he encountered a curious warden who questioned the purpose of his visit. He finished his day at Folkestone, where he picked up his partner after she had been taken out for a celebratory meal with her coworkers. The author concludes with the thought that despite the frustrations of his day, he found kindness in the world by keeping a promise to a young man selling the Big Issue.
