About Fencing in Dartford
Dartford in Kent takes its name from a ford across the River Darent, recorded by the Saxons as Darentford and later as Tarentford in the Domesday Book of 1086, when the manor belonged to the king. By the 12th century the Knights Templar held the manor, and Edward III both held a tournament in the town in 1331 and founded an Augustinian nunnery there in 1355, with Dartford serving as an important stopover for pilgrims travelling on to Canterbury throughout the medieval period.
