_Pilgrims' Road to Canterbury._--Being acquainted with the road to which
your correspondent S.H. (Vol. ii., p. 237.) alludes, he will, perhaps,
allow me to say, that in the neighbourhood of Kemsing a tradition is
current, that a certain line of road, which may be traced from Otford to
Wrotham, was the pilgrims' road from _Winchester_ to Canterbury. How far
this may be correct I know not.
I have not been able to discover any road in the neighbourhood of this
city which goes by the name of the _pilgrims'_ road.
