The hermit typifies those recluses who, by their holy lives and untiring devotion to the cause of humanity, set a noble example for all time. It may, moreover, be recalled that it was through their exertions that funds were obtained for erecting the first bridge over the Darent. The earliest hermit of whom there is any record, John Sodeman by name, under the title of 'Hermit of the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin and Martyr, St Katherine of Dertford, for reformation of the poor', obtained Letters of Indulgence from the Bishop of the Diocese on the1st of June 1438. The prioress recalls the Augustinian nunnery that was established by King Edward III in 1355. | The hermit typifies those recluses who, by their holy lives and untiring devotion to the cause of humanity, set a noble example for all time.
