High Halden
Fifty tons of oak from some
distance away was used to build the unusual tower and spire of the
10th -14th century Church in 1470-1490. The Chequers Inn, circa
1620, is known to have been used by smugglers and the various gangs
such as the "Hawkhurst" and "Cranbrook" gangs that were active in
the mid 18th century. The parish is recorded in the Domesday Book
and parts of a Norman manor can be seen at Tiffenden Farm.
