Architecture and Artefacts
The narrow 14th-century bridge at East Farleigh is still in use today. Several 16th and 17th century buildings that witnessed the battle have survived in Maidstone, such those on Bank Street (No. 78 for example is dated 1611); All Saints Church remains recognisably as it would have been in 1648, but the small Huguenot Chapel of St Faiths has been replaced by the late 19th century Victorian church seen today.
The doublet worn by Fairfax at the battle is on display at Leeds Castle near Maidstone.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“I don’t think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art.”
—Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923)
