ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Cathy Goodwin founded the Society in 2020, having carried out extensive research into the history of Stanford and Westenhanger, which took over a year.  Her efforts were compiled into a book, Stanford Parish through the Centuries, which was launched at the initial meeting.

ABOUT THE VENUE

Stanford Parish Room was previously the Jazz Bar at Folkestone Racecourse.

From Stone Street, enter via the old racecourse entrance (signposted Otterpool Park).  Walk through the gate at the end of the lane.  The Parish Room will be in front of you, right of the parade ring.

TRAVEL TO THE VENUE

By Car:

From the A20, take Stone Street (signposted Racecourse & Westenhanger Station).  After the houses end, you will see a white gate on the left, with a lane immediately after.  Take the lane down to the end and park in the car park on the right, just before the first building.

By Train:

Take the train to Westenhanger station.  The exit is on Platform 1 – to cross the track from Platform 2, use the footbridge.  Exit via the car park, walk up the lane and continue up Stone Street.  Pass the entrance to Westenhanger Castle just outside the station and take the next entrance.  Follow the lane to the end.
