Trottiscliffe

Trottiscliffe (/ˈtrɒzli/ TROZ-lee) is an English village in the county of Kent about 2.5 miles (4 km) north west of West Malling.

It is colloquially known as Trosley after Trosley Country Park at the top of the North Downs, which was once part of the Trosley Towers Estate. The spelling Trottesclyve appears with nearby Hallyng in 1396. It was labelled as Trotterscliffe on the Ordnance Survey map published in 1870.

Its most notable features are the Neolithic Coldrum Long Barrow and the medieval Church of St Peter and St Paul.

Trottiscliffe was the English home of artist Graham Sutherland from 1937 until his death in 1980. He was buried by Trottiscliffe parish church.
