About Fencing in Garlinge
Garlinge sits a short distance southwest of Margate in Kent and takes its name from the Old English Geon ling, meaning green bank or green hill, first recorded in a charter for land dating back to 824 AD. The name changed shape many times over the centuries, appearing as Grenling around 1254, Grelinge or Gerlinge around 1275, Grellnch around 1327 and eventually settling closer to its modern form as Garlyng by 1474. For a long time Garlinge remained a small hamlet, described in 1796 as a pretty settlement growing fruit and vegetables for the market in nearby Margate, and census records from the 19th century show many of its residents working as agricultural labourers and, later, as laundresses serving Margate's growing number of boarding houses. The building of St James Church and the development of a High Street through the 1800s marked Garlinge's gradual transformation from a farming hamlet into a settled residential district on the edge of Margate.
