Wainscott is a small village in Rochester, in Kent, England. It is in the civil parish of Frindsbury Extra, in the Medway Unitary Authority, that is Medway Council. By 1950 it had been absorbed into the neighbouring residential areas of Strood. Wainscott itself is located immediately next to Frindsbury, and is surrounded by Mockbeggar Farm, Noke Street Farm, Islingham Farm and other agricultural land, Great Chattenden Wood, Towerhill Woods and Cockham Woods. It is speculated that the name is derived from the Old English meaning Wagonner Cot or Wagon Shed.
