Sandhurst, Kent

Sandhurst is a village in the borough of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England, close to the border with East Sussex.

The Black Death in 1348-49 is believed to be the cause of why the church in Sandhurst is so far from the main village, although it could also be explained by an increase in trade heading from Hawkhurst to Rye, where the majority of the village now rests.

Sandhurst is served by the Arriva Southern Counties number 5 bus to Maidstone, but not on Sundays.

Sandhurst is twinned with the village of Heuringhem in northern France.

Significant landmarks in the village include the clock tower, which was built in 1889 in memory of Arthur Oakes and is a grade II listed building,[2] and Sandhurst War Memorial, which was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1923 and sits in an elaborate setting; it is also grade II listed.
