Could anyone tell me exactly where 'Hougham in Dover' is. Is it a suburb?
Church Hougham is a village between Dover and Folkestone (there is also West Hougham nearby). The parish of Hougham originally stretched as far as the bottom of the Folkestone Road in Dover - almost the centre of town. Christ Church (now gone) was built opposite the old Dover Priory (now Dover College) to support the community that had spread up the road to Maxton. That was then the parish of Hougham in Dover.
