BRADSOLE, or St. Radigund, a ruined Premonstratensian Abbey in Polton parish, Kent; on high ground, commanding a good view, 3 miles NW of Dover. It was founded, in 1191, by Jeffrey, Earl of Perth, and given, at the dissolution, to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The principal gateway nearly all remains, much covered with ivy; and the chapel and some other parts are now used as a farmhouse.
