Sturry history
Human habitation in Sturry is thought to have started around 430,000 years ago, as dated flint implements – namely knives and arrow-tips – show. The most important era for Sturry, determining its future shape, size, function and name, was that part of the early 5th century when the beleaguered Romano-Britons brought in Frisians and Jutes as mercenaries to help them fight against invading Picts and Scots. Some of them settled near Sturry: their cemetery was found at Hersden.
The Second World War
During the Second World War, Sturry was bombed, the greater part of the High Street being destroyed by a parachute mine in 1941 during the Baedeker Blitz, killing 15 people of which seven were children aged 12 and under. A number of interesting buildings remain intact in Sturry, including the Manor House, built in 1583, which is now the junior school of The King’s School, Canterbury.
