Bridge Hill House was the headquarters of Canterbury Racecourse. Horses were entered for the races at the house. The early recorded race was in 1708. It is known that Jane Austen visited the races around 1796, so it is highly likely that she was a guest at the house. At about this time the house was purchased by the Baron de Montesquieu, a French nobleman who was escaping the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. He was the grandson of the great Montesquieu, noted figure of French literature, many of whose ideas had been incorporated into the Constitution of the USA with two American Presidents. Montesquieu died in 1824 and is interred in St Peter’s Church, Bridge.
Other notable connections with the house include Count Zborowski, whose racing cars were the inspiration for Ian Fleming’s children’s story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Count Zborowski also founded the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. Also of note is the politician George Knox Anderson, the shortest-serving English MP. The house was used as the local Magistrates’ court during World War 2, after which it was divided into flats.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
