Wingham is a small historic village and civil parish in the Dover district of Kent, England, set on the banks of the River Stour. Its compact centre of timber‑framed and stone buildings, a medieval parish church and the nearby Wingham Wildlife Park reflect a long rural history and give it a quietly attractive character.
The local economy is largely agricultural with small businesses and many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Canterbury and Sandwich, while a close‑knit village community maintains pubs, a primary school and regular events that celebrate the area’s heritage and countryside setting.
