Boughton under Blean

Boughton under Blean is a village and civil parish between Faversham and Canterbury in southeast England. "Boughton under Blean" technically refers only to the hamlet at the top of Boughton Hill; the main village at the foot of the hill is named Boughton Street but the whole is referred to as "Boughton under Blean" or more commonly as just "Boughton".
It had a population of 1,917 according to the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil Parish population 2011 )〕 The parish contains the hamlet of Crouch.
==Chaucer==
Before the opening of the A2 Boughton bypass in 1976, Boughton lay on the main route between London and Canterbury. As well as this, having passed through the village and climbed Boughton Hill, it is the first place from which one is able to see the towers of Canterbury Cathedral if one is travelling from the direction of London. Due to this it is mentioned in Chaucer's ''Canterbury Tales'', in 'The Canon's Yeoman's Prologue'.
Boughton under Blean is also mentioned in the context of Chaucer in Frank Herbert's ''Children of Dune'': "For a time he amused himself by reviewing Chaucer's route from London to Canterbury, listing the places from Southwark: two miles to the watering-place of St. Thomas, five miles to Deptford, six miles to Greenwich, thirty miles to Rochester, forty miles to Sittingbourne, fifty-five miles to Boughton under Blean, fifty-eight miles to Harbledown, and sixty miles to Canterbury. It gave him a sense of timeless buoyancy to know that few in his universe would recall Chaucer or know any London except the village on Gansireed."
