TR 329681 Woodchurch is listed in the county gazetteer of deserted medieval villages (known in 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 therewas a village at the sites in question. A deserted church site or isolated church certainly does not prove the existence of a deserted village.
