Sign in to saveAlso known as Staplehurst, Kent
Staplehurst is a village and civil parish in the borough of Maidstone in Kent, England, south of the town of Maidstone and with a population of 5,947. The village lies on the route of a Roman road, which is now incorporated into the course of the A229. The name Staplehurst comes from the Old English 'stapol' meaning a 'post, pillar' and 'hyrst', as a 'wooded hill'; therefore, 'wooded-hill at a post', a possible reference to a boundary marker at the position of All Saints' church atop the hill along the road from Maidstone to Cranbrook. The parish includes the hamlet of Hawkenbury.
