context_page_description: Pembury is a large village in Kent, in the south east of England, with a population of 6,128 at the 2011 Census. It lies just to the north-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells.
  The village centre, including the village green and High Street area is a conservation area.
context_section_description: The village is within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  The landscape around Pembury is dominated by steep-sided valleys and undulating slopes.  The area is predominantly agricultural, with scattered copses and more extensive, usually deciduous woodland.  Many local woodlands are used for coppicing.
  With soils in the High Weald being relatively poor, early farming in the area would have been dominated by grazing.  Between 1600 and 1800, agriculture grew to be the primary activity, with top fruits, cereals, coppicing and hops being the main products.  Few hops are grown today, although the landscape continues to be dominated by fruit orchards.
