Newington is a village and civil parish in the English county of Kent located 1miles north-west of Folkestone. It gives its name to Newington Parish Council, which has five councillors,[2] and includes the hamlets of Arpinge and Beachborough. The village lies to the north of the M20 motorway and the A20 road; the Channel Tunnel complex is nearby.
The ecclesiastical parish was known as Newington-next-Hythe, the latter town being NaNmiles to the south-west; the parish church is dedicated to St Nicholas.[3] Nearby there used to be a 13th-century Augustinian priory, founded in 1253 by Sir John Maunsell, who became a counsellor of King Henry III.[4]
The parish includes the hamlet of Peene which was joined to the Elham Valley Railway. Although no station existed at Peene, the railway passed over a bridge in the village. The village is now home to the Elham Valley Railway Museum.
