Wainscott is a small village in Rochester, in Kent, England. It lies within the civil parish of Frindsbury Extra and is part of the Medway Unitary Authority, administered by Medway Council. By 1950 the village had been absorbed into the neighbouring residential areas of Strood, yet it remains immediately next to Frindsbury and retains its distinct character. The surrounding landscape consists of agricultural land and ancient woodlands, offering a quiet, rural setting. The name Wainscott is speculated to derive from Old English, meaning Wagonner Cot or Wagon Shed, hinting at a historical connection to transport or storage. Despite its modest size, Wainscott’s proximity to Rochester provides access to the amenities and services of a larger town while preserving a tranquil village atmosphere.
