Bean
Bean is a village and civil parish in the Dartford district of Kent, about 2 miles from Swanscombe. It was the southern end of the ancient parish of Stone, and Wikipedia says the village has been recorded since at least the 13th century. A wooded hill above the village was used for warning beacons, and Beacon Wood is now a country park.
