Plaxtol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plaxtol is a small village of about 1000 inhabitants in the middle of rural south East England.
It is famous for starting up the popular and famous bakery chain Plaxtol Village Bakery. Although there is no longer a bakery in the village, there is a local primary school, a Cromwellian church, a grocer's, a butcher's and a pub.
The name Plaxtol is rumoured to be derived from "Plax" meaning 'play' and "tol" meaning 'area'; there used to be a large green in the middle of the village where children would play after attending church on a Sunday.
There is a Plaxtol cricket club, who win frequent matches, and play other local teams. The club has a thriving junior section as well as an active social scene.
Surrounding villages are Hadlow, Shipbourne, and Borough Green. The nearest towns are Tonbridge and Sevenoaks.
