A short history of Dartford
Dartford takes its name from a ford over the River Darent, where the road between London and Dover crossed the valley. Finds show people living in the area from the Stone Age onwards and Roman villas stood along the Darent Valley. The Domesday Book of 1086 records Dartford manor as owned by the king. In the 12th century the Knights Templar held the manor and a priory followed in the 14th century. The town became a market town and a waypoint for pilgrims bound for Canterbury. Henry V passed through in 1415 and in 1545 Henry VIII held Privy Council meetings here after the priory was destroyed in 1538. The Church of the Holy Trinity is Grade I listed.
