About Higham

Higham, a village in Kent's Gravesham district, whispers of its agricultural past beneath the wide Kentish sky. It lies 4.2 km north-west of Rochester (from Rochester: bearing 313°T, OS grid TQ 711 713), and is situated south-south-west of Lower Higham village. The gentle rise of the land here, bordering the Thames estuary, once lent itself to the cultivation of hops, their bines climbing towards the sun, a scent that would have lingered on the breeze. Today, the fields retain a quiet dignity, their contours a subtle echo of those bygone harvests. The village itself, a collection of homes and gardens, possesses a certain understated charm, where the evening light often catches the rooftops with a soft, golden hue. The church spire, a familiar sentinel, points to the heavens, a constant presence in the lives of Higham's inhabitants.
