The parish of Benenden is in the heart of the Kent countryside. The main part of the village is centered around a green where cricket is played in the summer months and is bounded by the St George’s Church, the village school, the gloriously fronted memorial hall, and the Bull public house.
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 neighborhood 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.
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.
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 Centrex and a thriving commerce.
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.
