Denton

Denton is a village in the Dover district, now part of the civil parish of Denton with Wootton, formed in 1961. Tappington Hall, a timber-framed house from the 16th and 17th centuries, is Grade II* listed. Kent’s heritage record says it was the manor house of Tappington Everard and the home of Richard Harris Barham, who wrote The Ingoldsby Legends as Thomas Ingoldsby.
