Etchinghill is a small village on the main road between Lyminge and Beachborough Park. It is fairly unremarkable on the surface, but does deserve further investigation.
It used to have a small cottage hospital, which first became an old folks' residence, and then was demolished (except for the chapel) to make way for housing.
It does still have a pretty pub though.
The Gatekeeper was formerly known as the New Inn. I guess the name seemed incongruous when it changed hands in 2015. More information on the Dover Kent Archive web-site here:
