Pilgrims' Road to Canterbury

By R. V. (Winchester)

Being acquainted with the road to which your correspondent S.H. (Vol. ii., p. 237.) alludes, he will, perhaps, allow me to say, that in the neighbourhood of Kemsing a tradition is current, that a certain line of road, which may be traced from Otford to Wrotham, was the pilgrims' road from *Winchester* to Canterbury. How far this may be correct I know not. I have not been able to discover any road in the neighbourhood of this city which goes by the name of the *pilgrims'* road. If any of your correspondents would furnish any particulars respecting this road, I shall feel much obliged.
