KENT


The white horse and the motto 'Invictus' on the Kentish flag, are to be seen everywhere throughout the county. The word 'Invictus' means 'Unconquered'.
Following the Norman invasion in 1066, peasants in Kent refused to acknowledge Duke William's rule and ambushed his men near Strood. 
In return for them ceasing their protests and accepting his authority, the Duke pardoned them, and permitted them to use the white horse emblem and the motto of 'unconquered'.

Kent is my home county. They say you never see what's on your own doorstep - which probably accounts for there having not been much on this page until now. However, I came across these amazing QuizTrail books, which not only keep you and your family amused, but which teach you a whole new way of looking at places. 

Over the centuries, Kent has been home to many famous - and infamous people. But some of the more unusual residents are wallabies, who have been spotted around the Bethersden and Tenterden areas.
