Staplehurst
lies on a Roman road. Villages were late in coming to the Weald,
where isolated dens, or pig pastures, expanded into small farms and
then into hamlets. Staplehurst is lucky to be on the South Eastern
Railway’s route from London to Dover, which provide escape to the
outside world. For a virtual tour of Staplehurst

Dover. |

There
have been settlements in Hawkinge as long ago as bronze age
times, but most people will probably know Hawkinge for the role it
played during the second world war. Hawkinge was the closest operational
airfield to occupied France and played a major role in defending our
skies during the Battle of Britain. Click

Marden
is located about nine miles south of Maidstone. Marden is a thriving
community of about four thousand people, with a long history dating
back at least as far as Edward 1, and is the second largest parish
(in area) in Kent. Those of us who live or work here (and quite a
few do both!) are very proud of the village. Click

Still
a principal member of the 5 main Cinque Ports, Sandwich used
to be one of the main ports in the UK. Over the centuries the river
Stour gradually silted up and so today it is a small riverside town
but full of history with some fine examples of medieval architecture.

Rooted
in time and mentioned in the Doomsday Record, Lyminge's origins
were certainly well before Queen (and subsequently, Saint) Ethelburga
(one of the founders of Christianity in this Country) put it on the
map. Lyminge and North Lyminge were fused with the coming of the railway.
The railway brought with it the shift of the village's centre and
a thriving commerce. Click the image |

Wadhurst
is a place of character, a bright and sparkling place. Shops in pleasant
variety line the long high street, and all sorts of architectural
styles greet you, red tile, white weatherboards, grey stone and mellow
sandstone. The evening sun plays upon the spire when twilight has
claimed the rest of the church and most of the town, and it gleams
like illuminated silver. Click

Staple
Unlike many local community Web-Sites, Staple-Online isn't commercially
sponsored or professionally produced. It is merely the efforts of
one local resident to put his village 'On-Line'. The results may therefore
appear not so polished or 'glitzy' as some, but I hope that this is
more than made up for by the site's content and usefulness. Click

Goudhurst
Just over a hundred years ago a visitor to Goudhurst described the
place in words that are as true today as they were at that time. "The
whole neighbourhood is singularly beautiful with the sylvan pastoral
beauty that is England's great characteristic. The village is straggling.
Genius could scarcely have made it more irregular. It is built on
the slope of an eccentric hill.
