The busy and friendly village of Sellindge sits on the A20 that runs between Folkestone and Ashford. The Domesday Book names Sellindge as Sedlinges with two churches, a mill, 36 acres of meadow and a wood for 6 pigs. It is known that William the Conqueror gave the four local manors to Hugo de Montford. The village, as it was inland from Aldington, became a distribution point for smuggled goods and The Whitehall was used for storage. In 1556 Thomas Hudson was arrested and taken to Canterbury on suspicion of heresy with 14 other protestants. Five of the protestants starved to death but Thomas was burned at the stake in Barton Fields. In the mid 1650s Oliver Cromwell is recorded as having his horse re-shoed at Stone Hill smithy in the village - he paid 4d.
