Adisham (formerly Adesham) is a village and civil parish[2] in the English county of Kent. It is twinned with Campagne-lès-Hesdin in France.

Geography

The village centre, six miles south-east of Canterbury is on the B2046 road between Wingham and Barham. It was known as Edesham in the Domesday Book.[3]

A clustered village, the cluster is within {{convert|0.5|km}} from the central cluster of Aylesham.

The village lies on one of the routes that formed part of the Pilgrims' Way immortalised by Geoffrey Chaucer in his book The Canterbury Tales, and in 2010 was the subject of a villagers' protest when local landowner and former banker to the Queen, Timothy Steel, tried to ban walkers from part of the route.[4] After a public enquiry, public rights of way were Council-designated on paths on his land including the path of the former Pilgrims Way.

Amenities

The village church is dedicated to Holy Innocents, and dates to around the late 12th century.[5] A Church of England primary school also serves the village.

Adisham's village shop shut down in 2004 and the Bull's Head pub closed around 2010.

Transport

Adisham railway station opened on 22 July 1861. It is on the Chatham Main Line - Dover Branch. There is also a daily bus service to Canterbury.

Notable residents

The Rector of Adisham in the archdiocese of Canterbury, Master John "The Martyr" Bland. Bland was a Protestant minister during the reign of Queen Mary I, who had him burned at the stake on July 12, 1555, being found guilty of heresy.[6]

The agricultural pioneer John Reynolds, who introduced the Swedish turnip, or swede, into England, lived at Adisham.[7]

In The Dying Days, the last novel of the Doctor Who New Adventures series, The Doctor is portrayed as living near Adisham in the fictional Allen Road, leading the Ice Warriors to attack the village with poison gas.[8]
