Coxheath is a village and civil parish within the Borough of Maidstone, Kent, England. The parish is approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) south of Maidstone. It is mainly centred along Heath Road which links the villages of Yalding and Boughton Monchelsea to the west and east, respectively. Early documentation shows the name of Coxheath as Cokkyshoth (1489) and Coxhoth (1585). The nearby Cock Inn (founded 1568)[ may point to its etymology.

It has been twinned with the La Séguinière in Maine-et-Loire, France since 1995.[3] The South East Coast Ambulance Service's emergency despatch centre for Kent is located in the village.[4] A replica beacon pole and coat of arms celebrates the role that the village played as a signal bonfire site for many hundreds of years.

 

 

Holy Trinity Church, Coxheath

Perhaps the most distinctive landmark in Coxheath is the Holy Trinity church, built in 1884 as the chapel to the workhouse and latterly the former Linton Hospital. It became the Parish church for the village in 1996 following the hospital's closure and falls under the Diocese of Rochester.[11]
