Where to stay in Barming Heath
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
The Oast House and the Church of St Margaret are the fixed points here, and neither of them, nor the monuments standing in the churchyards nearby, turns Barming Heath into a place with rooms of its own. Maidstone books the beds. East Farleigh, West Farleigh and Teston lie on the same record. Daye House is a frontage, so a visit that takes in All Saints Church or the Church of St Peter and St Paul is better run out of the town.

About Barming Heath
What are the main landmarks in Barming Heath?
Churchyards do the work here. The Church of St Margaret carries monuments set close about its chancel and nave, and the Church of St Peter and St Paul at Teston holds those raised to Henry Lomas and to Susanna Feild. All Saints Church stands at West Farleigh.
A further monument there commemorates John Gibbons, while Daye House and The Oast House complete a record that has no museum or gallery on it at all.
What is the history of Barming Heath?
No date is attached. What Barming Heath keeps instead is a set of memorials, the monument to Susanna Feild among them, standing in ground that the Church of St Peter and St Paul and the Church of St Margaret have held for generations. Maidstone owns the written record.
Daye House and The Oast House survive as built fabric, and the names on the stones at West Farleigh, John Gibbons among them, are the closest thing the district has to a chronicle.
