|
West Kent is a traditional subdivision of the English county of Kent. Residents of West Kent are called 'Kentish Men', as opposed to residents of East Kent, who are known as 'Men of Kent'. West Kent had separate Quarter Sessions from East Kent, based in the town of Maidstone, until 1814 when the administrations were merged.
It consists of Kent west of the River Medway, and corresponds roughly to the Diocese of Rochester.
