The hamlet of Chillenden in East Kent, UK, lies midway between the historic cathedral city of Canterbury and the gateway port of Dover.  It nestles in the rural landscape on the edge of the North Downs, surrounded by some wonderful English countryside.  It has a population of about 120 people living in 45 houses.  There is a church, a working farm, a village hall, a pond, a thriving pub, and a windmill.

The beautiful Grade II* listed 12th century All Saints Church is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 5pm.  For more information please visit the All Saints page.  Services 2nd & 4th Sundays.

Windmill

Our local MP Sir Roger Gale will be coming to see the windmill and hear about our concerns about future ownership on Friday 1 November.  As you know KCC plans to divest itself of all 8 mills in the county so the future is potentially very uncertain.  If you would like to air your views  come along at 6pm to the village hall.
