About Fencing in Tunbridge Wells
Tunbridge Wells in Kent owes its existence to a night of heavy drinking in 1606, when Dudley, Lord North, staying with friends nearby, noticed reddish water seeping from the ground, drank some out of curiosity and declared he felt much better for it, having stumbled upon a mild chalybeate spring rich in iron. The spa did not become truly fashionable until Charles I's physicians sent his wife Henrietta Maria to take the waters after childbirth in 1630, after which the Stuart court made regular fifty mile trips from London to what became known as the courtiers' spa. The elegant colonnaded walk known as the Pantiles, laid out with clay tiles in 1698 on the orders of Queen Anne, still evokes the town's Georgian spa heyday, though it was not until 1909 that Edward VII granted the town the right to call itself Royal Tunbridge Wells.
