Holbeam Farm entrance, Stalisfield ? converted to ?modern country living?
From the 17th century, when my family of North Downs farmers had the lease of Holbeam Farm for some 60 years, the farm was owned by St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London – the doctors may still own it today. Judging by its surviving buildings, it was a substantial farm property. It had the advantage of fairly level ground for cultivation, not usual up on this part of the Downs (at 450 feet ASL), where farmers also have to contend with heavy clay soil laced with stones and stronger winds, severer weather and a shorter growing season than below in the valley. Thus in 1839 the Hospital owners rebuilt part of it and developed it as a model upland farm. Today, however, its grand old flint-walled buildings have been converted to modern draught-free ‘country living’. It has a neat but desolate air - sans crops, sans animals, sans mud, sans everything. But see the view Image

Church Road
The church in the road name is Stalisfield which is actually in the other direction as shown by the signpost. Faversham is marked as 5 miles in this direction. This is a fairly remote crossroads with Church Road ahead and behind, Holbeam Road to the left and Pettfield Hill Road to the right. The other three roads pass fairly quickly into woodland but Church Road ahead passes along the bottom of an open valley until it reaches Hockley.
