A View of the Parish

Your Online Parish Clerk for Monks Horton is:  VACANT.  

Monks Horton is, ecclesiastically, in the diocese of Canterbury, in the archdeaconry of Canterbury and in the deanery of Elham.  The church is named for St. Peter with registers commencing 1558.

Monks Horton, is a parish in Elham district, Kent;  2-1/4 miles north-by-west of Westenhanger rail station, and 5 northwest of Hythe.  Post town, Hythe, Kent.  Acres, 1,079.  Real property in 1860, £1,382.  Pop in 1861, 153.  Houses, 31.

A cluniac priory, a cell to the house of St. Pancras at Lewes, was founded here, in the time of Henry II., by Robert de Ver; was made “indigena” by Edward III.;  and, together with the manor which it held, was given, at the dissolution, to Richard Tate, and afterwards passed to the Mantells.  The remains of it stand in a low situation among woods;  have partly been converted into a farmhouse;  and include an arch and some fragments in transition Norman, and of interesting character.  A neighbouring eminence commands a fine view.

The living is a rectory, annexed to the vicarage of Brabourne, in the diocese of Canterbury.  The church stands in what was once the park of Mount-Morris;  has been restored;  has a curious wooden tower;  and contains tombs of the Robinsons of Mount-Morris.1
