View southwards from Minster High Street
Minster Abbey is named after a Saxon nunnery here which was founded in 664AD and sacked by the Danes in 835. This was re-established about 1130, when the present church was built, incorporating and still showing parts of its Saxon predecessor. It is located on the highest point of the Isle of Sheppey and gives superb views to the south across the island and beyond The Swale to the mainland. A full description of the Abbey can be found at http://www.minsterabbey.org.uk/3.html
This view is from High Street, just to the south of the churchyard. The hills on the horizon are on the mainland. The building on the right hand side is the edge of the former Fultons Newsagents - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4853873

Stairway access from Back Lane to High Street, Minster
A careful study of the map shows if you continue across the High Street you reach the entrance to the magnificent Minster Abbey - 'Stairway to Heaven' perhaps?

Minster High Street
Pub life still thrives on Sheppey. Just across the High Street from the King's Arms is the Highlander - and both were doing good business on this drizzly Saturday afternoon. Down the hill, not far behind the camera there is (or was) the Prince of Waterloo. At the end of July 2017 the pub sign was still up, but there was major building work in progress..
