WELCOME

to the parish of Lenham, the village with its medieval market square, the chalky hillside of the Kent Downs above it, the heath with its open skies and the fruitful land of Liverton. We invite you for a stroll through Lenham's history and heritage. Perhaps you can walk through this place with open eyes and see the footsteps of people who walked here before you and made the place what it is today. It will be up to us, both, old and new residents, to take Lenham into a future where the past is cherished for its merits, the natural environment is safeguarded and community thrives,

Dedicated to the Recording and Promotion of Lenham's Heritage

History teaches us that nothing stays the same.It prepares us for change

The generation of those who lived during the second world war is getting smaller. Their memories and the memories they shared with their families is one of the topics which Lenham Heritage Society wants to explore and record in 2021. If you are interested in contributing to the evolving story, please get in touch with heritagelenham@gmail.com
