Cantiaci Hillfigures Lenham Cross
The Cross can be seen from the A20, about 9 miles ENE of Maidstone.
It was designed as a memorial to 42 men of Lenham parish who died during the Great War, and was proposed by Mr C Groom, headmaster of the village school. Completed in 1922, it stands 189ft tall.
The memorial stone placed near the Cross was used for Remembrance Day services until 1960, when several incidents of inclement weather forced the parish to move the stone - and the services - to the comfort of the local church.
