Mersham is a small village and civil parish, three miles east of Willesborough and the Kentish town of Ashford. Historically Mersham has been a farming community with close ties to the local market town of Ashford. The small village dates back to Saxon times and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The village was owned by the Archbishops of Canterbury for over 500 years. The beautiful Church of St. John the Baptist, which stands on the site of a Saxon church, is part Norman. There are two water mills on the East Stour river, one of which, Swanton, is still working. Part of Hatch Park, an ancient deer park and SSSI, is within the parish.
It is thought that the village gives rise to the surname Marshman. (WIKIPEDIA INFORMATION)
