Barham, Kent
My third time here, where the representative of our IBLC London firm and I are getting ready for meetings in Austria. Barham is ancient and pastoral. Population is 1800. It was spelled Bioraham in 799, after Beora, a Saxon chief. The Anglican village church dates to the 1300s.
O famous Kent
What country has this isle than can compare with thee?
From Polyolbion, Michael Drayton (1563-1631)

Surely should read county and not country?

Drayton wrote country. At the risk of sounding like I have an advanced degree in history, let me note that, if you think about it, Kent, and "Albion" from its Dover white cliffs, WAS England to many invaders for centuries.
