Lenham Kent Map

About Lenham

Lenham's ancient heart beats with a quiet dignity in the Kentish countryside. It lies 11.5 km south of Sittingbourne (from Sittingbourne: bearing 186°T, OS grid TQ 898 521), and is situated north-east of Sandway village. The gentle slopes of the North Downs cradle this historic market town, where the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of hops from the surrounding fields, a reminder of its enduring agricultural heritage. The village green, a sweep of emerald under a wide sky, has witnessed generations of life unfold, its ancient trees standing as silent sentinels. Dominating the skyline is the venerable parish church of St. Mary, its stonework weathered by centuries, a constant presence as the sun traces its slow arc across the heavens. Lenham's market traditions continue to this day, a vibrant echo of its past prosperity.
