Stelling Minnis is a village and civil parish〔(Stelling Minnis Parish Council website )〕 in the Shepway District in Kent, England. The village lies to the south of Canterbury, and to the east of the B2068, ''Stone Street'', the Roman road, which takes traffic between Lympne and Canterbury. == Etymology == Stelling was a village a mile from the Stelling minnis. A minnis was ancient common pasture land cleared from the wooded upper slopes on the high clay caps of the Kent chalk downland. The word 'minnis' is believed to derive from the Saxon word ''(ge)maennes'', which means 'common land used as pasture'. It has been suggested that these areas, which were characteristically on the higher reaches of the Downs, formed large tracts of common unenclosed 'waste' grassland used by a number of distant settlements. In the 17th century, most of these minnises were incorporated into the manorial lands and the commoners excluded. The enclosure acts took most of the Kent minnises, but commoners retained access to Stelling Minnis, and a village grew to take its name.〔(The mystery of the Minnises ), Nick Smith, 2004, Stelling Minnis Charitable Trust, Kent.〕
