Sissinghurst is a small village in the borough of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England. Originally called Milkhouse Street (also referred to as Mylkehouse), Sissinghurst changed its name[1] in the 1850s, possibly to avoid association with the smuggling and cockfighting activities of the Hawkhurst Gang.[2] It is in the civil parish of Cranbrook and Sissinghurst.
The nearest railway station is at Staplehurst.
