Abstract
I grew up in a rural English landscape where water was a dominant and
ever-present feature. Across the meadow from our house in the village of
Hadlow was the River Bourne, a minor tributary of the River Medway
that divides the County of Kent and flows past verdant orchards and hop
gardens before emptying into vast estuarine saltmarshes and merging
with the murky waters of the River Thames at Sheerness. The Bourne
has its source at the foot of the North Downs, a great ridge of chalk
grassland along which runs the ancient Pilgrims’ Way, from Winchester
in Hampshire to the shrine of St Thomas à Becket at Canterbury
Cathedral, the greatest place of pilgrimage in mediaeval England.
