You could try kentonline, it is the homepage for Kent Messenger Newspaper group which have newspapers covering the Maidstone and surrounding areas. Hope this helps.

What about the Sevenoaks Chronicle - or the Kent & Sussex Courier? If you Google either of those you should find their websites. Both would cover news from Maidstone.

Having just about come to the end of my search for my grandmother Ethel May Brewerton who I think died June 1988, I have though about posting a letter in the local paper if it has a 'readers letters' section to see if any one remembers her. Does anyone know of a good local paper that covers Maidstone and the surrounding area? Does the paper have an e-mail address? Have tried googeling with no success since I do not know the area so can't make sense of the info. Many thanks Jeanie A.
