Maps |
It is conceded that the accompanying map is a simple representation of individual parish boundaries and in some cases the exact shape of an individual boundary may be over-simplified. For that reason, researchers are advised to consult individual parish maps for exact details. The purpose of the map is to assist researchers identify the various parishes that adjoin any given parish.
The list of Kent parishes below relate to the map provided above. Some parishes are split in two by other parishes and the map shows the divided areas. An example is that of Bapchild, which is divided by the parish of Tonge. To assist you, all parts of a split parish carry the same background colour and ID reference. The ID system used is alpha-numeric. A parish marked with the ID reference B40, for example, is the fortieth parish to begin with the letter B.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure accuracy any errors or omissions will be gratefully received.

The most famous Roman Road 'Watling Street' is the name given to a long straight road that the Romans built from the Kent coast, up through London towards Leicester. The road then bent round to North Wales. It consisted of 11 straight lines that might change direction where they met.
Watling Street was built to assure that the Roman Army would be able march quickly and easily into central England once they arrived at the shore.
Much of Watling Street is used as roadway, today, and many parts of it are still called by the same name.
Green roads - The course of this road is known
Red roads - The course of this road is uncertain
