More about this scene

Olantigh Towers 1901. Beside the waters of the Great Stour, this great house in its pleasant parkland marks the original birthplace in 1380 of Cardinal Kempe, the ecclesiastical statesman. He was close to both Henry V and Henry VI, and was responsible for the building of many fine churches; he also suppressed Jack Cade's Kentish rebellion after his appointment as Chancellor in 1450. This substantial mansion, with its impressive portico, has been rebuilt, and is one of three great houses along this stretch of the river.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
