St Peter's, Kent

St Peters ("sci Petr'" [1254], "sci Petri" [1270], "Sti Petri in Insula de Thaneto", "St. Peters" [1610]) is an area of Broadstairs, a town on the Isle of Thanet in Kent. Historically a village, it was outgrown by the long-dominant settlement of the two, Broadstairs, after 1841. Originally the borough or manor of the church of St. Peter-in-Thanet (the second daughter church of Minster, established 1070, although the first written record of its present name is 1124), it was said to be the largest parish east of London, at least until Broadstairs became a separate parish on 27 September 1850. The two settlements were formally merged administratively in 1895.
