Quaint Island Elmley A Foreign Tether Between Land And Sea
Elmley in Kent near the Isle of Sheppey is a tiny parish of about 2000 acres owned by Oxford University. It has no motor cars yet, few roads or pubs, and a single ferry that is often dangerous in winter. The island’s life centers on a small school and church, with shepherds tending large flocks. A hut doorway lit by a candle at night guides the ferryman.
