Summary
| Description |
English: The Biddenden Maids. Plaques attached to the sign read:
Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst the famous twins known as the Biddenden Maids were born in the year 1100 joined together at hips and shoulders. They lived together thus joined for 34 years when one of them was seized with a fatal illness and died. The other refusing to be separated died 6 hours later. By their Will they left their property to the poor of Biddenden. In commemoration of the Biddenden Maids an annual distribution of bread and cheese takes place on Easter Monday morning from the old bakehouse. Biscuits bearing the impress of the two maids, their names and year of birth are available at the same time to all who apply, visitor and parishioners. |
