Between 700 and 900 AD the area of the present Biddenden parish contained a number of separate 'dens' or small clearings in the great forest of Andred frequented by freemen and swineherds. Biddenden was probably the den used by the family and followers of Bidda.

The Society was founded in 1971 and since then it has thrived with a membership of over 100, encouraging an interest in both local and national history. It is affiliated to, and works in close collaboration with, the Parish Archive.

Established in 1920 ‘to encourage the study of the history and antiquities of the City of Canterbury and surroundings and to preserve the architectural features and characteristics of the City.’

A very friendly and sociable group, we aim to promote an active interest in local history. Talks cover a wide range of subjects from a variety of speakers.
