History
A site here was projected in the 1180s by Archbishop Baldwin for a new college, which was to contain the archiepiscopal cathedra and stalls for the king and the bishops of the province of Canterbury, but the monks of Canterbury procured a veto for the scheme from Pope Innocent III.[2]
The eminent judge and master of the rolls Sir Christopher Hales died at Hackington in 1541, as did the poet Sarah Dixon on 23 April 1765.[3]
Demography
The population rose by more than 10 per cent, from 522 in 2001 to 589 in 2011.[4]
