About Preston

Preston, a quiet corner of Kent, breathes the soft air of the South East region. It lies 7.1 km east of Fordwich (from Fordwich: bearing 84°T, OS grid TR 250 608), and is situated west-north-west of Elmstone village. The land around Preston rolls with a gentle, cultivated grace, where fields of grain shimmer under the vast, changeable sky, their colours shifting with the passing sun. This is a place where the very texture of the earth seems to hold a memory of generations who have worked its soil, a quiet persistence evident in the sturdy stone of its older buildings. The ancient parish church, St. Martin's, stands as a silent sentinel, its weathered flint walls absorbing the light of countless dawns and dusks, a landmark anchoring the village's presence. The lanes that thread through Preston are bordered by hedgerows, thick with the scent of wild roses in summer and the earthy perfume of damp leaves in autumn, guiding one through the understated beauty of this rural expanse.
