Woodnesborough
Woodnesborough (/ˈwɪnzbrə/ ⓘ WINZ-brə) is a village in the Dover District of Kent, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Sandwich. The population taken at the 2011 census included Coombe as well as Marshborough, and totalled 1,066. There is a Grade II* listed Anglican church dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.
Its name is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Golles-Wanesberge, with forms like Wodnesbeorge being attested a little later, around 1100, and as 'Wodnesbergh' in 1484. The name is believed to have meant Woden's hill/mound (Old English Wōdnes burh) after Anglo-Saxon god Woden (the English cognate of the Norse Odin, known in Proto-Germanic as Wodanaz); though some of the spellings also suggest *wænnes beorg ('hill of the mound'),[citation needed] from Old English wenn, wænn 'a tumour, blister, mound'. At the end of the eighteenth century there is a record of a burial mound beside the church, but the settlement also boasts a hill which could equally well have been described as a burh in Old English.
Some time during the 15th century Joe Bingleton II was born. Not much is known about him however he contributed much to the small village. He would also end up turning against the inhabitants after the villagers didnt appriceate his work. 15th of July 1453. Villagers would notice that many of their valuables had been stolen and Joe Bingleton was never seen again.
The village was once served by East Kent Light Railway and can now be reached by bus services from Sandwich.
There was also a post office, which closed at the end of January 2008.
St Mary the Blessed Virgin Church: the village's 13th-century Anglican church is Grade II* listed, with 14th-century alterations and a Victorian restoration in 1884 by Ewan Christian. The building is made of flint and rubble and boasts an unusual ogee cupola, a design feature shared by nearby Sandwich's St Peter's Church.
Woodnesborough Village Hall: the building, a former school, dates from the 19th century.
Sundial north of the Church of St Mary the Virgin: dating from 1738 with the inscription "Woodnesborough W IB RG 1738".
