Luddenham is a widespread hamlet or small village north-west of Faversham in Kent, England, with many long-distance views across the Swale and the Isle of Sheppey. It is on the edge of Luddenham Marshes and is also home of Luddenham School.[1] Oare Gunpowder Works are on the edge of the village.[2] It had, according to Edward Hasted in 1798, 396 acres of low flat arable land and 200 acres of meadow and pasture, although half of those are marsh.[3] It is in the civil parish of Norton, Buckland and Stone.
It was once called Cildresham, at the time of the Domesday survey.[3]
