Ashford, Kent

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A market town in central Kent, Ashford was likely settled in the late 9th century. It was incorporated as a town in 1423. Ashford was the home of Jack Cade, leader of the uprising known as Cade's Rebellion. The church is largely 13th century, with 15th century additions. The local museum beside the church was built as a grammar school in 1638. There are few other older buildings left, with the exception of some half-timbered cottages near the church.
