Description

Chiddingstone er en landsby og civil parish i Sevenoaks District i Kent, England. Parishen ligger ved floden Eden mellem Tonbridge og Edenbridge. Landsbyen Chiddingstone Causeway og hamletet Chiddingstone Hoath er også inkluderet i parishen. Det er et eksempel på en tudor-landsby med én gade.
En populær teori er, at landsbyen har fået sit navn fra en stor sandstenformation, som ligger på dens udkant, kaldet Chiding Stone. Chidingstone var en tidligere stavemåde, der blev brugt til landsbyen. Traditionen hævder, at stenen blev brugt som en dommerstol, primært til at irettesætte dominerende lokale koner. Den er også blevet fejlagtigt beskrevet som et druidisk ritualsted og mere overbevisende foreslået som et vartegn, der blev brugt som en saksisk grænsemarkør. Chiddingstone betyder "stenen fra Chiddas stamme" — Chidda formodentlig værende en lokal saksisk leder.
