The Village of Capel Le Ferne
There is a distinctly new look about this little village overlooking the Straits of Dover. St Radigund's church was dedicated by the Bishop of Dover as recently as 1966, its building, like that of the new primary school, made necessary by all the new development that has pretty well overwhelmed the original old village.
One of the new reminders that the place has a history is the old Norman church of St Mary. Now redundant, it seems to have been shouldered aside to dream away its dotage in a rural retirement that has little relevance to the present village that has mushroomed alongside the Folkestone-Dover road.
Yet the new church was built with a piece of stone from the ruined St Radigund's Abbey incorporated into it, a nod, at least, in direction of historical continuity, and there have been claims that the Royal Oak pub could date from 1100.
But, for the rest, a few 20th century years of WW2 have left more evidence than all the centuries before. This was the site of a gun battery, 400 feet above the Channel, from which 16-inch guns shelled Occupied France, visible on a clear day from the cliff tops. The site was fortified at a cost of œ2m, with deep underground installations that included a hospital, ammunition store and barrack rooms and consumed thousands of tons of concrete.
The site is marked with the Battle of Britain memorial: the figure of a fighter pilot, which was unveiled by the Queen Mother in 1993. The stone base is carved with the crests of 66 RAF squadrons that fought in the Battle in 1940 and there are various other wartime relics still remaining in the vicinity.
The roadside pub, the Valiant Sailor, was there in 1855, in front of the spot known as Steddy Hole. This was the scene of a notorious murder when a Serbian soldier called Dedea Redanies, who was serving with the British Army and stationed at Shorncliffe, killed an eighteen year old Dover girl, Caroline Back, and her sixteen year old sister Maria.
Redanies had courted Caroline for some time and her parents agreed to let her go with him to see his sister in Folkestone on condition that Maria went too. But it seems Caroline gave Redanies cause to suspect she was less serious about him than he was about her and when they reached Steddy Hole, according to his subsequent confession, he stabbed first Maria and the Caroline to death, leaving their bodies there while he went on towards Canterbury, where he was arrested.
The crime caused quite a stir at the time, as did his trial at Maidstone Assizes. His execution on New Year's Day 1857 was witnessed by a crowd of up to 5,000 people filling the street in front of the scaffold, on top of the porter's lodge of Maidstone Prison.

See also: The Folkestone Murder
All people pay attention and listen to my song. I’ll tell you of a murder, it won’t detain you long. It was near the town of Folkestone, this shocking deed was done. Maria and sweet Caroline were murdered by Switzerland John.
He went unto their father’s house at nine o’clock one night, And little did poor Caroline think he owed her any spite. “Will you take a walk, dear Caroline, along with me?” cried he And she agreed to accompany him to Shoreham cliff next day.
Her mother said “Dear daughter, you’d better stay at home, For I do not think that it’s safe for you to go with that man alone You had better take your sister, along with you to run”. “Dear mother, I’ve no objection. Dear sister, you may come”.
So early in the morning, before the break of day, Maria and sweet Caroline from Dover they did stray. But before they reached at Folkestone, the villain he drew his knife. Maria and sweet Caroline, he took away their life.
Down on the ground the sisters fell just in their blooming youth, “For mercy” cried the innocents, their eyes were filled with tears. He plunged the dagger in their breasts, their lovely breasts so deep. He robbed them of their own sweet life and left them there to sleep.
He kissed their pale lips as they lay on the ground. He took their capes from off their backs and on him they were found. He said “Farewell, sweet Caroline, your blood my hands has stained, No more on earth shall I see you but in heaven we’ll meet again”.
At seven o’clock next morning, the bodies they were found In a lonely spot near Folkestone, lay bleeding on the ground. And if you go unto that spot, these letters you will find Cut deeply into the soft green turf – Maria and Caroline.
When the prisoner he was taken, his own life he tried to take, But he was taken to Maidstone jail and there condemned to die. He said “Farewell to all my friends in this world I’m left alone. I’m doomed to die for murder far from my native home.
“Hark the solemn bell is tolling, for the scaffold I must prepare. I hope that in heaven my soul may rest and meet Maria there. Now all young men take warning and beware of this fate of mine, And all young women think of Maria and lovely Caroline.
(recorded at Stoney-in-Oxney, Kent by Mike Yates, 1984) The Folkestone Murder is based on an event that occurred in 1856 /57. Dedea Redanies, born in Belgrade in the 1830s, came to England and enlisted into the British Swiss Legion, then stationed at Dover castle. He began courting a young girl called Caroline Back, whose father worked as a dredger in Dover harbour. Redanies was apparently of a jealous nature and he accused Caroline of flirting with a sergeant in his unit. On 3rd August the couple took a walk to Shorncliffe Camp, accompanied by Caroline's sister Maria, and Redanies killed both girls at Steddy's Hole, some five miles from Dover. Redanies attempted to escape, but was captured the next day at a farm near Canterbury, after unsuccessfully trying to take his own life. He was hanged at Maidstone Prison on New Year's Day, 1857. Almost all of the collected versions of the song have come from either Kent or Sussex, although a couple of versions have turned up in Labrador and Newfoundland.
