Title: A Brief History of Cranbrook, Kent, England
Description: Excerpt: "During the Roman occupation of Britain, a number of roads were built through the great forest among them were several in this eastern part, of which the most important led from Maidstone by Staplehurst to Sandhurst and Bodiam. At Farningham farm in Cranbrook, a few hundred feet from the line of this road, recent excavations have revealed the site of an ancient iron working possibly as early as 50 BC which was taken over later by the Classis Britannia, or Roman Navy in the 3rd or 4th centuries AD."
