Pluckley

A charming village of brick cottages with their narrow, round-arched windows and are called ‘lucky’ Dering windows.
According to legend, a Royalist member of the Dering family escaped through such a window during the Civil War.

The church dates from the 13th century, is built of ragstone with a timber roof and contains a 16th century timber screen.

The Derings left more behind than their style of window legend has it that this is one of the most haunted villages in England.
The Red Lady Dering still looks for her lost child in the churchyard. The White Lady Dering haunts the burned-out ruin of Surrenden-Dering manor.
Other ghosts include a pipe-smoking gipsy who burnt herself to death, and a brick-worker who fell into a pit.
