Petham is a rural village and civil parish in the North Downs, five miles south of Canterbury in Kent, South East England. The village church is All Saints, Petham and is Grade I listed. It was built in the 13th century but suffered from a fire in 1922 and had to be reconstructed. The village hall was rebuilt in the early 21st century next to Marble pond on relatively low meadows deemed unsuitable for housing and insurance. Petham has rolling hills within its bounds, including ancient forested slopes and thatched medieval and Tudor period cottages.
