"Turning off opposite the County Hospital, we may pass through Chantry Lane to the Dane John, with a glance at the site of St. Sepulchre's, a Benedictine nunnery, founded by Anselm, adjoining a church of the Holy Sepulchre. It was here that Elizabeth Barton, "the nun of Kent," was removed from Aldington, where her cell "for some 3 years was the Delphic shrine of the Catholic oracle, from which the orders of Heaven were communicated even to the pope himself." There are but scanty remains of the nunnery, and it will be hopeless to attempt to trace the chamber from which she "went to heaven once a fortnight," and where the devil at other times "made great stinking smokes." (see more, Aldington, Rte.7) HFT1858
