Cantiaci Hillfigures Shoreham Cross
When I went down to Shoreham
some time another year
I found a cross for sorrow
and pain for men to bear
for lads I knew aforetime
were sleeping otherwhere'

Like its companion at Lenham, the Shoreham Cross was erected as a war memorial. The land on which it stands, towering over the village, was donated to the parish on a 999 year lease by the Rt Hon FB Mildmay MP in 1920. It was
created by volunteers the same year and unveiled on Empire Day. The Cross stands 100ft high and overlooks the Darent Valley, only a few miles south of Lullingstone and Eynsford
