Roman Painted House
Discovered by the Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit in 1970 (KARU) and built about A.D.200 as part of a large official hotel for leading
Roman travelers crossing the English Channel. It stood outside the North Gate of the great naval fort of the Classis Britannica, but
in A.D.270 the Roman army during the construction of a larger fort demolished it. Three of its main rooms were then buried substantially
intact under its ramparts. Visitors can see the the various heating ducts & channels that kept the building comfortably warm 1,800 years ago.

A mill has stood on this site for 750 years - the first mill was built by the monks of St.Radigund's Abbey in the 13th century. The ruins
of the Abbey can still be seen up on the hills to the west of the Mill. The present mill was built in 1812. You may take a self guided
tour and see it working. Also enjoy home baking in the cafe. On the lower floor of the mill is a centre where the local artists and
