History

Wilmington is a village and parish in Kent, England, in the Borough of Dartford, about 1.5 miles from Dartford town centre. The parish borders the London Borough of Bexley and Sevenoaks District. The parish council meets at Oakfield Park pavilion.

The village is considered to be one of the most affluent areas of Dartford. Its centre has one shop and four pubs: The Orange Tree, The Plough, The Foresters and The Horse and Groom at Leyton Cross. Its most prominent landmark is the St Michael and All Angels Church, which is the site for the annual Wilmington Model Railway Exhibition. Part of the Joydens Wood estate lies within parish boundaries.

In the reign of Edward IV, a manor house in the village was the residence of the king-making Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. In the 19th Century Wilmington was noted for being surrounded by gardens and cherry orchards. In the 1970s the village was bisected by the A2 dual carriageway.

Wilmington is perhaps most famous for being the childhood home of Mick Jagger, lead singer with the Rolling Stones. Keith Richards, guitarist with the Rolling Stones, attended Wilmington Technical School (Now Wilmington Grammar School for Boys and Wilmington Academy after the school's split).
