Monks Horton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monks Horton is a small civil parish in the Folkestone and Hythe district of Kent, England. It is located 3 miles (5 km) north of Hythe. Within the civil parish are the hamlets of Horton and Broad Street. The parish is governed by a parish meeting, rather than a parish council, because of its small size. The name comes from there having been a medieval priory built here.[1]
