There have been many ghostly stories circling Pluckley and the best-known one is about ‘The Watercress Woman’ which many witnesses have confessed to having seen her perched on the pinnock Bridge whilst smoking her pipe. She was well known previously for gathering watercress and selling it to the villagers, this was her way of making a living. There is a story that after a long day in the evening, after having a few drinks she had fallen asleep whilst smoking her pipe. The pipe then caught her clothes and set her on fire. And it is believed that she still haunts this bridge. People have reported that they have seen a pink glow faintly hovering over the spot where she had passed away.
