Brenchley is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. The parish is located eight miles east of Tunbridge Wells, and three miles south of Paddock Wood, and includes the neighbouring village of Matfield.
Brenchley parish church is dedicated to All Saints; there is an avenue of yew trees leading up to it. The village earns some historical fame by being one of the villages that was closely involved in medieval iron making. Wat Tyler is said to have briefly lived here.
