History

Hoath was part of the estate granted by King Ecgberht of Kent in 669 for the foundation of the church at Reculver,[2][3] and remained part of that estate when King Eadred granted it to Archbishop Oda of Canterbury in 949.[4][Fn 1] A Chantry either in or connected with Hoath is recorded in the 14th century, with John Gardener as the chaplain, successor to Henry atte Were.[6] The hamlet of Ford was the location of Ford Palace, a residence of the Archbishops of Canterbury from at least the 14th century to the 17th.[7]
