Smeeth is a small village in population near
Mersham Hatch Park on the
A20 road from Ashford to
Folkestone. The church of St Mary the Virgin contains some
Norman work such as the
south doorway,
tower archways and
chancel.
Edward Knatchbull-Hugessen, 1st Baron Brabourne is buried in the churchyard. Three east-west routes pass quite near to the middle of the parish and are aligned east-west: the
M20 motorway, the
A20 single carriageway road and the
High Speed 1 railway line connecting to the
Channel Tunnel. Most of the development is residential and all of the neighbourhoods are north of the motorway. The parish has many headwaters to the
East Stour which bounds Smeeth to its south. The far northern borders are contiguous with
Brabourne Lees and link into its main 'village street' directly; this is also where most of the
buffer land is woodland it also had a railway owend by SER. ==See also==
