West Malling, in Kent, had a population of around 9,000 at the 2021 census — a town that grew up in the shadow of a Norman abbey.
Malling Abbey and St Leonard's Tower
West Malling grew up around Malling Abbey, a Benedictine nunnery founded around 1090 by Gundulf, Bishop of Rochester. Remarkably, the abbey is still home to a community of Anglican Benedictine nuns today, and the town also has St Leonard's Tower, a rare surviving Norman tower keep thought to date from around the same period.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why West Malling shoppers order online anyway
