Wichling


Wichling is a village and civil parish within the local government district of Maidstone, in England. The parish lies approximately to the east of Maidstone. It lies near the top of the ridge of the North Downs and consists mainly of isolated farms and houses: the population is therefore small in number.
A small settlement was recorded in the Domesday Book as "Winchelsmere". The parish church dedicated to St Margaret was begun in the 12th century and restored 1882–3 by Clarke.
The first tier of local government is a parish meeting.
