Full Description
TR 075415, Bircholt, Kent is listed as a deserted medieval village. (1) Maurice Beresford and John G. Hurst eds. Deserted Medieval Villages,1971, list 69 places for Kent in their County Gazetteers of Deserted Medieval Villages. In most cases there is nothing to prove that there ever was a village at the sites in question. A deserted church site or isolated church certainly does not prove the existence of a deserted village. (2) (See TR 04 SE 2 for St Margaret's Church) Bircholt is mentioned in the Domesday Monachorum (3) and a hundred of Bircholt is recorded in both the Domesday Book (4) and the Lay Subsidy of 1334 (5). The modern place-name of Bircholt listed as not being in the Domesday book. (3,4,5,6) Additional bibliography. (7,8,9,10)
