Eythorne is a small village, 7 miles NNW of Dover. Although not classed as one of the former pit villages of Kent, it was only about a mile from Tilmanstone – which closed in 1986.
Eythorne Baptist Church is more than 450 years old and one of the first Baptist churches in the UK.
The village is on the East Kent Railway.
Eythorne once had three pubs; The Crown is still trading, but the White Horse and the Palm Tree are long closed, both now being residential properties.
Eythorne is in historically set in two halves: Lower Eythorne, where the Church of England and Roman Catholic churches are situated, and Upper Eythorne, where the village shop and the Crown public house are located, and where most of today's villagers live. Many reside in the small housing developments that sprang up in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
