Bathingbourne was one of five manors granted by King Eadwig (reigned 955–959) to his thegns, although a previous charter of King Edred (reigned 946–955) also parcelled out this land, but Edred's charter divided the land along different boundaries.[2] The manor is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086.
