A coastal resort town in the Shepway district of Kent, the name of the town has its origins in the 7th century as “Folcanstan†which is thought to refer to the stone of folca which in turn is a common, Old English name. Extensive damage was caused to the early settlements by various Viking raids up til the 10th century and was again burned by Earl Godwin of Wessex after being exiled by the king, Edward the Confessor. Although only a small hamlet, in 1066 after the great invasion when William the Conqueror became king, he made a gift of the barony to his half brother and by the time the Doomsday Book was written in 1086, it belonged to William D’Arcy.
