Melvilles 1858 Directory of Kent.

Wingham Public Houses

WINGHAM is a considerable village, six miles east from Canterbury, and 62 from London, situated on a small brook, and on the road from Canterbury to Sandwich, in the lathe of St. Augustine, hundred of its own name, and Union of Eastry. It was once a market-town, but has long since fallen into disuse. The church of St. Mary is an old, commodious, and well-built edifice, with a lofty steeple. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The population, in 1851, was 1083. Danbridge is half a mile east; Matherless, half a mile S.E.; Dane
Park, one mile south; Bramling, one mile S.W.; Chitterling, one mile N.E.

Best Broadband Providers in the UK - tested in October 2010. Recommendations for a web site provider are: eukhost.com - see my Whats New page to clarify this

Apologies for the delay in updates at present, but I suffer from BT Infinity. BT Infinity appear to have a severe shortage of trained engineers, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
