Petham Kent Map

About Petham

Petham shelters in a gentle fold of the Kentish landscape. It lies 6.6 km south-south-west of Canterbury (from Canterbury: bearing 200°T, OS grid TR 127 516), and is situated south-west of Street End village. The quiet lanes of Petham wind through fields where the light, in late afternoon, often catches the dew on the hedgerows with a soft, pearlescent gleam. A modest stream, the Nailbourn, sometimes flows through the parish, its presence a murmur beneath the rustling leaves of ancient oaks. The enduring stone of the parish church, St. Mary's, stands as a sentinel, its spire a familiar point against the wide, pale sky. Local life in Petham has long been tied to the soil, the distant hum of tractors a familiar sound in the summer months.
