Stanford Kent Map

About Stanford

Stanford, a quiet corner of Kent, breathes a gentle stillness under the wide South East sky. It lies 4.4 km north-west of Hythe (from Hythe: bearing 317°T, OS grid TR 129 378), and is situated north-north-east of Newingreen village. The land here, a rich loam, has long been cultivated, yielding a bounty that has sustained its inhabitants through centuries. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, define the fields, their branches often catching the diffused light of an overcast afternoon. The houses of Stanford, predominantly rendered and brick, huddle together with a comfortable familiarity, their chimneys occasionally exhaling pale tendrils of smoke. A sense of enduring peace pervades Stanford, a quietude that seems to have settled deep into the very earth.
