Goudhurst
Goudhurst is a village in Kent on the Weald, about south of Maidstone.
It stands on a crossroads (A262 & B2079), where there is a large village pond. It is also in the Cranbrook School catchment area.
The parish consists of three wards: Goudhurst, Kilndown and Curtisden Green. Hamlets include Bedgebury Cross, Iden Green, Stonecrouch and Winchet Hill.
==Etymology==
The word Goudhurst is derived from Goud Hurst, the "good hill"〔http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=goud&searchmode=none〕 due to the hills strategic position within the local landscape. A less plausible (but attractive) derivation is the Old English ''guo hyrst'', meaning Battle Hill, or the wooded hill on which a battle has been fought. The name apparently commemorates a battle fought on this high ground in Saxon times. The spelling has evolved over the centuries: Gmthhyrste (c. 1100), Guthurst or Guhthersts (c. 1200), Gudhersts (1232), Guthhurste (1278), Goutherst (1316), Goodherst (1610), then the current-day spelling.〔''The Place Names of Kent'', Judith Glover ISBN 0-905270-61-4; ''The Origin of English Place Names'', P.H.Reaney ISBN 0-7100-2010-4〕
