The History of Horsmonden

In it’s day Horsmonden was the centre of iron making, and today the pond which lies on the west of the village is a reminder of this as it is one of the finest artificial lakes used by iron masters.
Another historical fact about Horsmonden is that it is where the 17^th century gunmaker John Browne designed cannons for Oliver Cromwell and Charles I.

Sojourn's View

Horsmonden is a small village with perhaps not a lot to see or do once there, but if you are in the area perhaps on your way to Tunbridge Wells then driving though will allow you to see a typical small English village. A walk in the countryside is lovely and there is a public footpath leading straight to Horsmonden church, which is a peaceful and relaxing walk of two miles.
