MonktonMonkton is a village and a parish in Thanet District, Kent. The village stands near the Canterbury and Monkton railway, 1-1/4 miles north of the river Stour, 2 miles west-north-west of Minster rail station, and 6-1/2 miles west of Monkton; was once a market town; is a scattered place; and has a post office under Monkton, and fairs on 22 July and 11 October. The parish comprises 2,346 acres. Real property in 1860, £5,556. Population in 1861, 374. Houses, 83. The property is divided among a few. The manor was given in 916, by Queen Ediva, to Christ Church, Canterbury, "to feed the monks". A fishery and a saltern were here at Domesday. The living is a vicarage, united with the perpetual curacies of Birchington and Acol, in the diocese of Canterbury. Value, £670 with a habitable glebe house. Patron, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The church is ancient but good, with a tower; includes fragments of all architectural periods; appears, from exterior arches in the north wall, to have once been larger than now; and contains a very fine brass of a priest of 1450. The ecclesiastical parish of the same name as at the 1921 census was coextensive with the civil parish.3 SchoolsThere is a national school here.1 CharitiesThere are charities of £20.1 1John Marius Wilson, comp.
