About Maidstone Crown Court

Maidstone Crown Court forms part of the Maidstone Combined Court Centre, a dual-jurisdiction venue that hears both Crown Court (criminal) and County Court (civil and family) matters. The modernist-style building on Barker Road was completed in 1983 and officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in October 1984, replacing the historic court space at County Hall to meet Kent's growing judicial caseload. Designed by the architectural practice Austin-Smith:Lord, the building remains one of the busiest Crown Court centres in the South Eastern Circuit, serving Maidstone, Medway, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, Sevenoaks and the wider Kent area.
