“A S U C C E S S F U L
RURAL
VILLAGE WITH
PLENTY OF
COMMUNITY
SPIRIT”
History of Headcorn
Headcorn is one of the largest villages in the area, with about 3,300 residents. It is one
of the 5 rural service services in the Maidstone area and has a good range of shops and
a main street boasting several half-timbered houses. The Old Cloth Hall reminds us that
our Wealden Community benefitted from the boom in woollens that followed the 14th
Century arrival of Flemish immigrants and lasted until the industry moved north during
the 17th and 18th centuries.
Our ancient village can be best appreciated by a stroll along Church Walk, this quiet
footpath with its medieval cottages was once the main road out of Headcorn.
Neolithic to Roman Times
The discovery of polished flint axes in the Headcorn area attest to the presence of a
community during the new stone age. There is also evidence to suggest the occupation
of farmsteads from that period until Roman times, with more than 30 roman coins being
discovered at one site alone.
Dark and Middle Ages
The earliest written records are references in charters of King Wihtred and King Offa,
respectively to Wick Farm724 and Little Southernden 785. Headcorn must have started
in the days of the Kingdom of Kent as a den or clearing, to which pigs were driven from
the northern parts of the County to feed on acorns and beechmast, in the Wealden
Forest. Although Headcorn does not figure in the Doomsday Book of 1086, the
Domesday monachorum, the ecclesiastical survey made about the same time, records
the existence of a church at Hedekaruna. According to the Oxford Names Companion,
the name possibly means “tree trunk (used as a footbridge) of a man called Hydeca”
The Headcorn Oak
The remains of the Headcorn Oak is situated near the south door of the Parish Church.
It was extensively damaged by fire on the 25th April 1989 but continued to produce new
growth until July 1993. Its age has been estimated at up to 1200 years, however Ian
Mitchell of the Forestry Commission, an expert on old oaks compared his measurements
taken 1n 1967, with those made by Mr Robert Furley FSA in 1878 and estimated its age
at 500 years.
Historic Buildings
The 1986 list of buildings of architectural or historic interest has 88 entries including the
Parish Church (Grade 1), the former Old Vicarage (II*) renamed Headcorn Manor in
1960, the Cloth Hall (II*) and Shakespeare House (II).
To find out more about Headcorn History there is a dedicated book available from the
library or why not join the Local History Society.

Could you be a Retained Firefighter ?
Are you looking for a new, exciting challenge? Do you want to make new friends, feel part of a team and give something back to
your community? Then Kent Fire and Rescue Service has the job for you!
Retained Firefighters have one of the most respected jobs in the community and are trained to deal with a range of incidents, including fires and road traffic collisions, as well as protecting the community through fire safety work.
KFRS is looking now to recruit women and men who can provide part time hours, day or night, in the Headcorn area. Applicants
are needed who can continue with their normal day-to-day activities, but who can respond to an emergency when needed.
Maybe you are at home, are self employed and/or work from home, or perhaps you work for a company that is committed to helping the community and would allow you to respond to an emergency during working hours. If you can provide evening and weekend cover outside of your normal work, there are also opportunities for you join, and help make your community safer.
Headcorn Watch Manager Stuart Albon explains how it works: “No particular qualifications are needed, and there is no need for
previous experience but people will need commitment, enthusiasm and an ability to work as part of a team.”
“During the time they are on duty, Retained Firefighters carry a pager and, as long as they are able to get to the fire station within
five minutes of a call, they can carry on with all their normal day-to-day activities – studying, housework, DIY, watching TV,
sleeping or working (if employers agree). They do need to be reasonably fit and healthy and there are some selection tests, but guidance is available.”
Retained Firefighters are committed to taking part in a weekly training night at the fire station, where the local team will get
together and practice emergency response procedures.
So if you are over 18, physically fit and live and/or work within five minutes of the fire station and can be available for duty, then
you can become a Retained Firefighter! In return you will receive a basic annual retainer, and additional payments for each callout, any training sessions and or extra duties undertaken, such as equipment maintenance.
It’s an exciting, challenging and hugely rewarding job where you’ll become a crucial member of a highly trained, well respected
team.
