Paddlesworth is a village located about 3 miles (4.8 km) NNW of Folkestone in Kent, England, near Hawkinge.
The Early Norman Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Oswald.[1] It was built in the 11th century or earlier but underwent alteration in the 13th and restoration in the 19th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[2]
The public house is 'The Cat and Custard Pot'.[3]
From September to December 2010 a group of writers and artists created the Paddlesworth Press, a "mixed-media, collaborative online novel" based on Paddlesworth with fictional characters and events in a spoof newspaper.[4]
