much for style as for curing illness. To cater for their spiritual needs, visitors donated money to build the Church of King Charles the Martyr, opened in 1676. Since then, the town has gone from strength
to strength, patronised by royalty, a magnet for the style conscious and a haven for the retired and young families alike. It is justifiably proud of its ‘royal’ heritage and carefully preserves its unique history and picturesque surroundings. In 1835, Tunbridge Wells became a town with powers of self-government and its own police force, and it was made a royal borough in 1889. Not long after, in 1909, King Edward VII granted the town a ‘Royal’ prefix, which is still used to this day.
