The parish of Chilham has a long history, traces of which dates back to the Neolithic period.

 

The Square focus is the castle (its wonderful gardens attributed to Capability Brown are open on special occasions) and the Church (with views over the surrounding valleys).

 

The medieval village square and High Street began to take shape in the 13 and 1400’s  with the construction of a number of heavy timber framed buildings some of which are still with us.
