Stedlyn Retreat Archaeological Survey (2004)

'An archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation and watching brief were carried out by Wessex Archaeology in advance of the housing development at 'Stedlyn' (St Paul's Court). Here are the reports on the work. For more information on Sir Dru Drury and his times, see Selby, E, Teynham Manor and Hundred, Meresborough Books, 1982. Thanks are due to Wessex Archaeology for permission to publish the reports.' 

The parish council has a hard copy (via Swale BC) and plan to put a piece based on the summary, in the Parish NewsLetter.
