About Ightham
Ightham with the hamlet of Ivy Hatch, is a village near Sevenoaks and Tonbridge in Kent. Villagers are proud of their community, which once saw cob nut harvesting as a main industry. The name of Ightham comes from Saxon ‘Ehtaham’, which means a settlement with a personal name, relevant to the time. History is also marked with the parish church, constructed in the 12th century and also the National Trust’s Ightham Mote, a remarkable example of a medieval manor. Edward II gave permission for a fair to be held in the village each year, since 1336. Social activities include a well-supported football team as well as walking in the local environment, such as by the banks of the River Bourne.
