The Old Parish of Nonington.
An illustrated record of an East Kent parish and its people over the centuries.
Nonington, sometimes spelt Nonnington, is in East Kent some two miles or so to the north-east of the A2 approximately mid-way between Dover and Canterbury. Sandwich is some seven miles to the north-east and Deal is about ten miles or so to the east. The old parish of Nonington was divided into the present parishes of Aylesham and Nonington in the early 1950's.
This website is intended to cover the history of the old parish before its division, although events in the present parish of Nonington are mentioned. The history of Snowdown Colliery, originally in the old parish of Nonington, and the mining village of Aylesham has been well recorded on several excellent websites and will therefore will not be covered in any great detail on this site after the 1920's.
You can find Nonington on the Google Earth map below and travel to the various places mentioned on this website and see how they look in the present day.
