Near Sissinghurst Castle, on the edge of the Weald, is the village of Biddenden, where Siamese twins were born around 1500. In memory of these "maids of Biddenden", cakes stamped with a representation of the twins are still eaten here on Easter Monday. The village street of Biddenden boasts not only the medieval parish church of All Saints, but
also two 17th century red-brick houses, Biddenden Palace and Hendon Hall. The half-timbered building Old Cloth Hall (16th/17th centuries) was built for a well-to-do cloth merchant. Catweazel Manor (16th century) with its hipped roof is also worth seeing.
