Description

Staplehurst is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Maidstone in Kent, England, 9 miles south of the town of Maidstone, home to approximately 2,600 households and 6,000 residents. The name Staplehurst comes from the Saxon words maple and hurst . The village lies on the route of a Roman road, which is now incorporated into the course of the A229. The parish includes the village of Hawkenbury.

The first written mention of Staplehurst was in 1232 in a Tax list, whilst All Saints Church is believed to date back to the 12th century. The village was initially a series of hamlets and farmsteads set around local manors including Loddenden Manor, which still stands as a private residence in the heart of the village and dates back to the 16th Century. With time these hamlets became joined up to form the village.
