Part 2 of our In & About series with Captain Mick โš“๏ธ

This time, weโ€™re stepping inside All Saints Church in Maidstone, a building filled with history, hidden details and stories dating back hundreds of years.

From the Lawrence Washington monument, said to have inspired elements of the American flag ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, to Tudor stained glass windows and musket holes in the walls, thereโ€™s so much history right here in the heart of Maidstone.

Stay tuned for more local history, hidden gems and riverside stories with the Kentish Lady ๐Ÿšค

One of our most frequently asked questions is โ€˜do you allow dogs on your 1 hour trips?โ€™

Well I hope Elvis, pictured here on Captain Nicks lap, answers that question for you. When Elvis isnโ€™t being a valued team member and boat mascot, you can find him snuggled up with Kentish Lady owner Linda in the garden or on the sofa.
