Location: Bilsington is a village and civil parish in the Ashford district of Kent. The village is south of Ashford, on the B2067, Hamstreet to Hythe road just north of the Royal Military Canal. The village has a historic grade II* listed church, St Peter and St Paul that dates from around the second half of the 13th century when the Priory of St Augustine probably impropriated it. The Priory can be seen north east of the church, 3⁄4 of a mile away, but it was surrendered to the crown in 1535. The Aldington Gang are said to have used the Priory during some of their smuggling exploits of the 1820s. Today the Priory is a wedding and conference centre and also hosts the odd Ghost Hunt besides serving a lovely afternoon tea. Inside the church, the Nave has four windows which are 14th century in style and there are some original fragments of glass present. There is a blocked Norman window. Above the chancel arch hangs the Royal arms of George III, dated 1774. Above the door into the tower is a stone bearing a carving which may well be the oldest surviving work in the church dating from about the 12th century. The most striking feature in the village is the 58 feet high Cosway memorial obelisk dedicated to a local landowner who lost his life in a coaching accident. Bilsington Cricket Club has a long and proud history.
Bilsington is just under 7 miles away from the centre of Ashford and is also approximately 3 miles from Hamstreet train station that has direct links to London with the High Speed link from Ashford International Station. With nursery schools, primary and secondary schools all in close proximity of each other this is only a taster of what Ashford has to offer. There are lots of local shops, restaurants, take aways, beauticians, a doctors' surgery, churches and halls as well as the town centre and train station not being far away by foot, car or public transport. Junctions 9 and 10 of the M20 aren’t far away and the William Harvey Hospital has an Accident and Emergency department, various clinics and a labour ward. Ashford International Train Station proudly operates the High Speed Rail link which can take you to Ebbsfleet International, Stratford International and London St Pancras in just 38 minutes.
