Smeeth
Smeeth adjoins the parish of Brabourne with which it
shares many of its clubs and societies. It is a small village near
Hatch Park on the road from Ashford to Folkestone and the
surrounding countryside is well worth exploring. The church of St.
Mary contains some Norman work such as the south doorway, tower
archways and chancel.
