Churchyard of All Saints, Waldershare Unfortunately, the constricted space does not allow a proper picture of the church or the impressively large yew on the left. The 12th century church, largely rebuilt in the 19th century, contains some impressive 17th century monuments, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

Nissen Hut, Maydensole Farm This is a prefabricated steel structure made from a half-cylindrical skin of corrugated steel, was used extensively during World War II. Between April 16 and April 18, 1916, Major Peter Norman Nissen of the 29th Company Royal Engineers began to experiment with hut designs. Nissen, a mining engineer and inventor, constructed three prototype semi-cylindrical huts. The semi-cylindrical shape was derived from the drill-shed roof at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Nissen’s design was subject to intensive review by his fellow officers, Lieutenant Colonels Shelly, Sewell and McDonald, and General Clive Gerard Liddell, which helped Nissen develop the design. After the third prototype was completed, the design was formalized and the Nissen hut was put into production in August 1916. At least 100,000 were produced in World War I

White Cliffs Country Trail The White Cliffs Trails were created in 1987 by Dover District Council to link the towns of Dover, Deal and Sandwich, going along the famous 'white cliffs' to the east of Dover to Deal with an inland return through the beautiful Kent countryside. A link from Deal to Northbourne via Sholden and a loop from Sandwich to Northbourne via Eastry provide a range of options. The routes are marked on OS mapping but have no apparent current publications.

White Cliffs Country Trail Public footpath EE417 runs southwest from Sutton Court Farm, just north of the church of St Peter and St Paul in Sutton village, to Maydensole Farm, on Roman Road in West Langdon. The path appears to be of some considerable age: it is marked on the first reliable maps of the area, including the Ordnance Survey first edition one inch map. It is also enclosed by hedges on both sides for much of the way between Sutton Court and public footpath EE419, but sufficiently narrow to exclude the likelihood that it was ever more than a bridleroad. A dogleg in the path, southwest of the intersection with EE419, marks the traverse of the former parish boundary between Sutton and Little Mongeham. The west end of the path formerly passed through the farmyard of Maydensole Farm, but now emerges onto Roman Road just to the north of the farm.
