SNARGATE

 (a gate where snares are set. - the snares probably meaning the sluice gates which controlled the flow of water in the river Limen)

The church stands down a country lane opposite the Red Lion pub. 

Red Lion pub. 

The pub itself dates from the 16th. century. It has been run by the same family since 1911, and has not been redecorated since 1890. Hence its Grade II listing.

This is a tiny pub with an antique marble bar top and bare wooden floor

St. Dunstan's church. 

St Dunstan was built in the late 12th century with just a chancel and nave, the north and south aisles being added a little later. In the 14th century a spacious east end was created.

and another church with a mosaic. The Snargate mosaice references the smuggling that was rife in the area. A large seizure of tobacco was made from the church belfry. There is a depiction of a painted glass panel of St. Dunstan in the church. The ship represents the large painted mural of a ship that was uncovered in 1964. 

There is a book commemorating Rev. Richard Harris Barham, author of the humorous tales 'The Ingoldsby Legends', who was vicar of St Dunstan, from 1817 to 1829. The rest are pictures of the local flora and fauna, among them a mole hill, a badger, curlew, yellow wagtail and a march-tit,
