Chevening, Kent

Chevening (/ˈtʃiːvnɪŋ/) is a village and civil parish in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England.

Close to Chevening, the path of Harold Godwinson's army en route to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, heading south along what is now Chipstead Lane, crosses William the Conqueror's route after the battle towards London along the Pilgrim's Way.

The church has an alabaster tomb to the lord of the manor, Sampson Lennard, and his wife Margaret, Lady Dacre.

The match can be deduced from a 1640 court case recording a "cricketing" of "Weald and Upland" against "Chalkhill" at Chevening "about thirty years since" (i.e. around 1611).

[2] Chevening was served by a halt on the Westerham Valley Branch Line running between Westerham and Dunton Green: the branch opened in 1881 but the halt at Chevening was not added until 1906 when steam railmotor services began on the line.
