History
[edit]Medieval history
[edit]Archaeological excavations inside St Martin's Church at Herne in 1976, indicated that the first church there was similar to the earliest,Anglo-Saxonexamples in Kent, such as those atRochester,Canterbury,ReculverandLyminge,and consisted of only anaveand anapsidalchancel.[2][3]The historianNicholas Brooksnoted that theDomesday Monachorumof 1087 or soon after lists Herne as the location of aminster,which is recorded nowhere else.[3][4]Brooks speculated that this referred to the church excavated in 1976, and that it may have been founded in the 7th or 8th century, but perhaps as late as the 11th century.[3]However, he regarded it as "perhaps most likely that the foundation of a [minster] at Herne should be attributed to the tenth century when attempts were being made to recover from the devastation of the Viking incursions."[3]A church at Herne is recorded as having been achapelrybelonging toSt Mary's Church, Reculver,until 1310, when it became aparish church.[5]
In 1931 the civil parish had a population of 2269.[6]On 1 April 1934, the parish was abolished and merged with Herne Bay.[7]
