"COURT-AT-STREET, a hamlet in the parish of Lympne, hundred of Street, lathe of Shepway, in the county of Kent, 5 miles from Hythe. It takes its name from the Via Strata, which ran from Canterbury and Studfall Castle. It was here that the impostor, Elizabeth Barton, alias the "Holy Maid of Kent," among other extraordinary things, pretended to Swallow pins. The ruins of a chapel, known as the Chapel of Our Lady at Court-at-Street, are still visible. This chapel is said to have been visited by the Canterbury pilgrims in the time of Thomas-a-Becket."
