High Halden is recorded in the Domesday Book and parts of a Norman Manor can still be seen at Tiffenden Farm. There is a fine church in the village and it is said that fifty tons of oak was used to build the unusual tower and spire of the 10th-14th century church in 1470-1490.

The village store doubles up as a newsagent and is open every day and the village also has a Post Office, a large pine shop, an antiques shop, a shop called Posh Tubs for all your bathroom furniture and a large garden centre with a pet shop. The olde worlde pub is a family run friendly inn serving good tasty food.

Every Spring the Horticultural Society hold a very well supported show and the village has many activities including Football Club, Cricket Club, Youth Club, Playgroup, Brownies and Short Mat Bowls.
