In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Maplescombe like this:
MAPLESCOMBE, a hamlet in Kingsdown parish, Kent: 1½ mile SE of Farningham. It was formerly a parish; and it still ranks as a chapelry, annexed to the rectory of Kingsdown, in the diocese of Rochester. The church is in ruins.
Maplescombe is now part of SEVENOAKS District. Click here for graphs and data of how SEVENOAKS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Maplescombe itself, go to Statistics.
