Parish History

MILTON CHAPEL (St. Nicholas), a parish, in the union of Bridge, hundred of Westgate, lathe of St. Augustine, E division of Kent, 2½ miles SW by W from Canterbury.

Milton is two and half miles south west of the City of Canterbury in Kent

Milton St Nicholas is an Ancient Parish in Milton near Canterbury. The church was totally rebuilt in 1829-1830 and is adjacent to the former Milton Manor house (now demolished) The parish was united with Thanington, Kent from 1884; a map of the Thanington parish boundary is available at A church near you

Milton was effectively a chapel to the Manor and was sparsely attended; the rebuilding served only a small group of local families and became unsustainable.
