STOWTING, (Kent) 3 m. and half S.W. from Elham, bel. anciently to Christ-Ch. Canterbury. In the R. of K. John it had the
grant of a Mt. on Tu. and a two days Fair at the Assumption of the Virgin. 'Tis now the estate of Thomas Jenkins, whose
great grandfather, Mr. Jenkins of Eythorn, bought it of Josiah Clark, of Westerfield in Essex. Dr. Gale says, Roman coins
have been found here; and 'tis said by others, that in the old park, long before it was laid open, several urns were found
lying in a stone trough.
