Place record TR 36 NW 394 - Birchington medieval village
Summary
The village of Birchington has early medieval origins. It's name, in old English; bierce hyll tun, or Birch Hill Farmstead dates from the early part of this period. Although part of the church (TR 36 NW 14) dates to the later 12th century, the village is first documented in 1274, and in 1337 became a limb of the Cinque Port of Dover.
