EXTRACT
From the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales bv John Marius WILSON 1870; Vol 1: BOXLEY, a village
and a parish in Hollingbourn district, Kent. The village stands at the
foot of a barren range of chalk hills, 2 miles NE by N of Maidstone; has post-office under Maidstone; and was once a Market Town. The parish includes
part of Penenden Heath; and comprises 5,745 acres. Real property £1,677. Pop. 1,470. Houses 289. The
property is much sub-divided. The manor was given by Richard 1 to Boxley
Abbey; passed at the dissolution, to Sir Thomas Wyatt; and now belongs to
the Earl of Romney. The abbey was founded, in 1146, by William d'Ypres,
Earl of Kent; stood 1 1/2 miles WSW of the village; was Cisterian,
mitred, and well endowed; had an image of St. Rumbald and an automaton
crucifix, which attracted crowds of pilgrims, and were publicly burnt at
the Reformation; and is now all effaced except the foundations. Boxley
Abbey mansion, adjacent, is the seat of Major M.G. Best; Boxley House is
the seat of Mrs Mercer; and Boxley Park is the seat of E. Lushington, Esq.
A deep thick vein of fuller's earth occurs at Grove; and was worked so
early as 1630. Fulling-mills stood on the neighbouring rivulets; and have
been succeeded by paper mills. A Roman urn and several other Roman relics
have been found in the neighbourhood of Grove. The living is a vicarage in
the diocese of Canterbury. Value, #834. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of

the remains of the poet Sandys, and the tombs of the Wyatts and others.
