Bonnington is a dispersed village and civil parish on the northern edge of the Romney Marsh in Ashford District of Kent, England.

The parish used to boast its own school at the T-junction with the former B2069, and a public house (The Oak) located nearly two miles southeast of the village.

The parish church, dedicated to St Rumwold, the child saint,[2] is about half a mile to the south of the hamlet, on the Royal Military Canal.

The parish council is now linked with the larger village of Aldington (where the population is now included) which is where the nearest shops can be found.

The population is widely scattered but mainly related, with clusters around the village green and the picturesque Cherry Orchard Lane.

A special sacredness appertains to the vows of lovers exchanged beneath the Bonnington oak, and its leaves, gathered with a certain formula at a certain time of night, are still sought by childless women and made into a medicinal draught, with the same intention as in Druidical days."
