The Isle of Thanet [in Kent]: Salmeston Grange, Margate, 1873. 'Salmestone Grange, of which the remaining old parts, once the chapel and infirmary of monks, are now used as a barn and granary, was a rural appendage of the great monastery of St. Augustine at Canterbury. Several old farm-houses in the hamlets near Margate have a quaintness of aspect likely to attract the stranger's notice. The very names, too, such as Quex, Muthrix, Acol, Shallows, and Twenties, seem to remind him of Tudor or even Plantagenet times and characters'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
