For the by-roads throughout the island are quiet enough, and indeed are not as a rule well adaptable for people in a hurry. Nor, for that matter, do I imagine that visitors to these coast towns are much given to dreaming dreams of bygone gener- ations who have come and gone, fought and farmed upon this classic soil. Monkton church is of no great size, and consists of a nave, chancel and west tower of flint. The latter is Early English, without battlements, and contains both plain and trefoiled ...lancet windows. There are some Norman windows walled up on the south side of the nave, while the chancel arch is Early English, resting on inset Norman shafts, with capitals of the same period. On the north exterior of the nave are marks of pointed arches, suggesting a vanished aisle. There is also a finely carved oak pulpit of the time of James the AROUND THANET 79 MONKTON. First, and at one time I am told there were some curious frescoes on the walls, supposed to be portraits of the Christ- church monks.
