Bat & Trap, The White Rock, Underriver
This is a traditional Kent game played in several pubs in the area. The batter hits the pivot & the ball flies into the air. Link The batter then hits the ball & attempts to get it between two posts about 20 yards away. It is a team game. The batter is out if the ball doesn't go between the posts.
Underriver
Underriver is a small village about 3 miles South-East of Sevenoaks.
The name "Underriver" is derived from the Old English sub le ryver which translates into modern English as "under the hill".
Until the early 20th century, Underriver had its own school, forge, post office, pub and church. Today only the pub (The White Rock) and the church (St Margaret's) remain. The other buildings have since been converted into housing.
