In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hoath like this:
HOATH, a village and a parish in Blean district, Kent. The village stands 2¼ miles NW of Grove-Ferry r. station, and 6 NE of Canterbury.—The parish contains also the hamlets of Maypole street and Old-Tree; and its post town is Herne street, under Canterbury. Acres, 898. Real property, £2, 239. ...
Pop., 348. Houses, 78. The property is subdivided. The manor belongs to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Some scanty remains exist here of the archiepiscopal palace of Ford. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Reculver, in the diocese of Canterbury. The church is a neat modern structure, with a tower.
