Tunstall, Kent

Tunstall is a linear village and civil parish in Swale in Kent, England. It is about 2 km to the southwest of the centre of Sittingbourne, on a road towards Bredgar.

History
In 1798, Edward Hasted records that it had once been called Dunstall. This comes from the Saxon words dun, or dune, meaning a hill, and stealle meaning a place. It was recorded in the Domesday survey, mistakenly as Stealle. At that time the parish covered around nine hundred acres of land (about 364 ha), of which about one hundred and forty were woodland. ==Modern day==
Modern day
Notable sights include Tunstall Church of England primary school and a large village manor house, and a former police house which is now a private residence. Unusually for an English village, there are no shops or pubs within the village boundaries; these have been prohibited since the Middle Ages. The only amenity is a telephone box. The Kent Science Park is in the parish, on a former Shell Research site. ==Notes==
