Appledore is, ecclesiastically, in the diocese of Canterbury, in the archdeaconry of Canterbury and in the deaneries of North and South Lympne.  The church is named for St. Peter and St. Paul with original parish registers commencing 1700.

Appledore, a village and a parish in Tenterden district, Kent.  The village stands on the Military canal on a branch of the river Rother, on the west border of Romney marsh, 1-1/2 miles west of a station of its own name on the Ashford and Hastings railway, and 6 miles east-south-east of Tenterden.  It has a post office under Staplehurst with a savings bank and money order office;  and it formerly had a weekly market, and still has a fair on the 4th Monday in June.  It once was a seaport, on the quondam estuary of the Rother;  and it was assailed by the Danes in the time of King Alfred, and by the French in 1380.  The parish comprises 3,001 acres.  Real property in 1860, £6,184.  Population in 1861, 640.  Houses, 132.  The property is divided among a few.  Much of the land is rich meadowy pasture.

The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Canterbury;  and includes the curacy of Ebony.  Value, £200 with a habitable glebe house.  Patron, the Archbishop of Canterbury.  The church has a singular projection from the north side of the nave, and is a strange mixture of Norman, early English, and decorated;  but has been greatly altered, and is in good condition.1
