TQ 585 655 Frankham is listed in the County gazetteer of desterted medieval villages (1968). (1)

Maurice Beresford and John G. Hurst eds Deserted Medieval Villages, 1971, list 69 places for Kent in their County Gazetteers of Deserted Medieval Villages. In most cases there is nothing to prove that there was a vilage at the sites in question. A deserted church site or isolated church certainly does not prove the existence of a deserted village.
