From the Wikipedia article
Capel-le-Ferne is a village and civil parish on the White Cliffs of Dover, near Folkestone in the Dover district, in Kent, England. Its name derives from a medieval French term meaning "chapel in the ferns". Its foremost attraction is the Battle of Britain Memorial, opened by the Queen Mother on 9 July 1993 and dedicated to those who fought in the battle. The Memorial is built upon part of a coastal battery (No. 2 and No. 3 guns) used during the Second World War (the other part of the battery site is privately owned and is under restoration). In 2011 the parish had a population of 1,884. The village is twinned with the commune of Oye-Plage, which is about seven miles (11 km) east of Calais, France.
