Shernden Wood

St John's URC Church, Marsh Green: mid March 2017 Methodism began as a revival movement within the Church of England in the 18th century. Lead by the brothers John and Charles Wesley, it taught a methodical interpretation of Protestantism that stressed salvation was available for all. It separated from the established church in the 1790s but within 30 years it had itself split into Primitive and Wesleyan branches. Gradually these two forms converged until a formal reunification was achieved in 1932. Today it has about 80 million adherents worldwide.

Restored oast house at Lydens Farm When photographed in 2008, 2009 and 2010 this oast house was a sorry sight - see <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/887810" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/887810">Link</a> and <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1384134" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1384134">Link</a> and <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1714405" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1714405">Link</a> It is difficult to look at it now in 2017 and realise the state that it was in. This view is from Lydens Lane which here is followed by the Eden Valley Walk. Even the guide to a walk published by Edenbridge Town Council refers to the "ruined oast house". There clearly has been much new building on the farm as the Eden Valley Walk passes through gardens and past what looks like a converted tithe barn before reaching fields beyond the farm on its way towards Hever station.
