WINGHAM is a considerable village, six miles east from Canterbury, and 62 from
London, situated on a small brook, and on the road from Canterbury to Sandwich,
in the lathe of St. Augustine, hundred of its own name, and Union of Eastry. It
was once a market-town, but has long since fallen into disuse. The church of St.
Mary is an old, commodious, and well-built edifice, with a lofty steeple. The
living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

half a mile S.E.; Dane
Park, one mile south; Bramling, one mile S.W.; Chitterling, one mile N.E.
