Steve<p>I’m back again with another local history episode. Today’s about Dode Church and the Lost Village of Dode, tucked away in a valley near Luddesdown (fun fact: William the Conqueror’s brother owned a house there - one of Britain’s oldest continuously lived-in houses, currently renting for £5k+ per month). But back to Dode - it’s one of the most peaceful places I’ve come across. The church stands completely alone, the only thing left of an entire medieval village.</p><p>The story's tragic. Built around 1087-1100, this little Norman church served a thriving community until 1349 when the Black Death swept through and killed everyone. The whole village just... gone.</p><p>There's a legend about the last survivor - a seven-year-old girl they called the Dodechild. Story goes she hid in the church after watching everyone else die, but the plague got her too. People reckon she still haunts the place, appearing every seven years - if you believe in that sort of thing... I don't.</p><p>The church sat empty and ruined for over 600 years until someone bought it in 1990. Could've turned it into a house but chose to restore it instead. When I was a kid people used to say this was a Satanist church and that there were all sorts of sacrifices and stuff going on there. The reality is much, much worse. It's a wedding venue, which we actually looked at for our wedding and we would have gone for it but it didn't have the capacity we needed.</p><p>The site's been important for centuries - there's evidence of Roman occupation, and inside you can still sit on the original 12th-century stone benches that the medieval villagers used.</p><p>It's these hidden Kent stories that fascinate me. Drive past on the A2 and you'd never know this place exists, but it's got more history than most cities.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.co.uk/tags/SilentSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.co.uk/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.co.uk/tags/KentHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KentHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.co.uk/tags/Medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Medieval</span></a></p>
