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 Appledore 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
