Hawkhurst Moor

Hawkhurst Moor is a village green and sports field at Hawkhurst in Kent. It was the centre of the original village and lies to the south of the modern town, with the A229 road running across the area. A cricket ground on the Moor was the venue for two first-class cricket matches in the 1820s.

The Moor was originally an area of common land. The right to hold an annual fair was held on the green was established by a deed granted by Edward II in 1311, and a fair was held annually until the 19th century. A market was also held on the green until the 17th century and the area is used today for community events. The area is designated a conservation area, one of four in Hawkhurst. The village church, the Eight Bells public house, parish council office, a former brewery, the original Victorian village school, closed in 2003, and a former post office and stores building surround the village green area. To the east, the King George V playing field was established in 1937 and is the modern sports ground.
