The Parish of Alkham is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies in a valley
from Hawkinge in the west to River in the east, covering a distance of about 3.5 miles.

We offer "A Brief History-Alkham Parish" (52pp, £ 2.50)

In its 4th edition, it was compiled by Sue Lees, our resident historian.
