West Peckham

West Peckham is a village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England. The River Bourne flows through the extreme west of the parish, and formerly powered a paper mill (Hamptons Mill) and corn mill (Oxenhoath Mill). The Wateringbury Stream rises in the parish. Oxon Hoath is the former manor house of West Peckham.

At the time of the Domesday survey in 1096, about 29 households were in West Peckham, in the ancient hundred of Littlefield, Lathe of Aylesford, West Kent.

The Domesday entry for East and West Peckham reads:-

The Saxon church of St. Dunstan's is open most days to visitors and the church is still actively used.

Dukes Place on Mereworth Road is a Grade I listed timbered hall house, originally built as Preceptory of the Knight's Hospitallers in 1408 by John Culpepper.
