About Horsmonden
Horsmonden village is in the borough of Tunbridge Wells – within the customer base area of James the Sweep. As the local master sweep, James is often seen in the village inspecting chimney flues, woodburners, open fires and gas fires besides sweeping the chimneys and removing birds’ nests, as required. The village has some interesting claims to fame. Horsmonden Cricket Club was founded in 1738 and it’s still going strong! Today there are two men’s teams and four teams of youth but it’s incredible to think the first game notched up by villagers was against Chislehurst Cricket Club in July 1738! Another famous personage connected to the village is Jane Austen, the well-known novelist. Her grandfather and other relatives lived in the local clothmaster’s hall, the 15ht century Broadford. Later on, the family moved to Capel Manor house and you can find a number of the family’s graves today within the quiet confines of St Margaret’s Church. Other interesting aspects of Horsmonden include an annual gypsy fair, the River Teise and signs of former major industries, namely iron, gunfounding and weaving.
