Welcome to Chillenden

Chillenden is a small village located in the county of Kent, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south-west of the town of Sandwich and 10 miles east of Canterbury. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable landmarks in Chillenden is the 12th-century St. Mary's Church, which is a Grade I listed building. The church features a Norman doorway and a 13th-century font, and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Chillenden is also known for its connection to the infamous Chillenden Murders, which took place in 1996. The murders were committed by Michael Stone, who killed Lin Russell and her six-year-old daughter Megan, and left Lin's other daughter, Josie, for dead. The murders shocked the nation and led to a high-profile trial and conviction of Stone. Today, the village is still remembered for the tragic events that took place there, and visitors can pay their respects at a memorial bench located near the site of the murders.

Despite its tragic history, Chillenden remains a peaceful and picturesque village, with a strong sense of community. The village is home to a number of local businesses, including a pub, a post office, and a village hall. There are also several walking and cycling routes in the surrounding countryside, making Chillenden a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're interested in history, nature, or simply looking for a quiet place to relax, Chillenden is well worth a visit.
