About Fencing in Maidstone
Maidstone is the county town of Kent, where the county's assizes once met and where its council still keeps its offices today, with a name derived from the Saxon Maeidesstana, recorded as Meddestane in the Domesday Book of 1086. At the time of that survey the settlement, noted for its salt production, eel fishing and flour milling, belonged to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the surviving Archbishop's Palace on the River Medway dates largely from the 14th century, begun by Archbishop Ufford in 1348 and later enlarged. The building served for centuries as a resting place for archbishops travelling between London and Canterbury. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the ME14 postcode area.
