Boughton Monchelsea

Boughton Monchelsea is a village and civil parish[2] in the borough of Maidstone in Kent, England.

The civil parish lies on a ragstone ridge situated between the North Downs and the Weald of Kent and has commonly been called Quarry Hills.

Ragstone (a type of sandstone) was worked here; stone for the building of Westminster Abbey, the present-day Houses of Parliament and the repair of Rochester Castle came from here.

A similar property at nearby Wierton Place has in recent years operated as a polo and country club as well as an exclusive out-of-town nightclub.

The Cock Inn, dating back to 1568, is situated at the junction of Heath Road and Brishing Lane.
