Ditton

Ditton is a large village and civil parish in the Tonbridge and Malling district of Kent, England. The village is 4.6 miles WNW of Maidstone and 1.8 miles east of West Malling. The parish, which is long and narrow, straddles the A20 , with farmland to the south and industry to the north. It lies in the Medway Valley, on the northern edge of the Kent Weald, and adjoins the ancient parishes of Larkfield, Aylesford and Barming.

The origins of the village can be traced to the stream which runs through the parish and gave rise to many corn mills along its length. The earliest recorded mention of the village is in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village contains a number of listed buildings, which include a 12th-century church, an old mill house, and two oast houses.
