Postling village and civil parish is situated near the Roman road of Stone Street, about 17 miles (31 km) south of Canterbury, Kent, in South East England. There is much archaeological evidence of continued occupation of the area. Postling Place is the old manor house.
The church is dedicated to Saints Mary & Radegund.
The crossroads next to the church is known as Postling Vents. "Vent" or "went" is an older Kent word which means "ways".
