BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Halling is a village on the North Downs in the northern part of Kent, England. Consisting of Lower Halling, Upper Halling and North Halling, it is scattered over some 3 miles (5 km) along the River Medway parallel to the Pilgrims' Way which runs through Kent. Halling is the site of a former Bishop's Palace, a luxury provided by the pre-Reformation Catholic Church to its bishops. It is now a ruin, but publicly accessible. The Bishop's palace or place, also known as Halling Hall, lay in the centre of the village of Lower Halling off what is now called Ferry Road. It bordered the western bank of the River Medway, and overlooked the Wouldham marshes to the east and south. A ferry linked the two banks of the Medway at this point, where the modern river is particularly narrow, as it turns with a sharp kink on the way from Snodland towards Chatham, Strood and Rochester.
