TQ 530 650 The deserted medieval village of Lullingstone is situated in the area surrounding the Roman villa (TQ 56 NW 7). (1)

The church (TQ 56 NW 8) of the village was discovered during excavations of the temple-mausoleum. The Domesday Survey of 1086 records three land holdings in the area under the name of Lolingeton(e). (2)

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 site in question. A deserted church site orisolated church certainly does not prove the existence of a deserted village.
