About Maypole
What are the main landmarks in Maypole?
Three names, and one of them is a lodge. Bowman's Lodge, St Barnabas and The Old Wick are the three names the record fixes to Maypole, and none of them turns the district into a destination on its own account. Dartford holds the rest.
A visitor with an hour in Maypole spends it on residential streets, with Bowman's Lodge and The Old Wick the names most likely to catch the eye.
What is the history of Maypole?
The paperwork gives no year. Maypole enters the record as a district of Dartford with no founding date, no charter and no first mention, so the three names it does carry, Bowman's Lodge, St Barnabas and The Old Wick, stand in for a chronology. Dartford's own past has to carry it.
What survives under the Maypole name is a lodge and a church dedication, with The Old Wick completing a list that runs to three.
Where is Maypole?
