HISTORY |
| 12th Cent | Church built at Wode or Woodchurch (All Saints in Thanet). |
| 14th Cent | The entire population having died in the Black Death, the village and church were pulled down. A residual population sprang up at Acol, which was then part of the parish of Monkton, subsequently of Birchington. |
| 1875 | The present church, a daughter church to Birchington, was built by C.N. Beazley on a site given by Mrs. Charlotte Rogers who once resided at Minster but at that time residing in Nice. A single bell was provided. |
| 1876 | The new church was opened by the Bishop of Dover. |
| 1887 | Stahlschmidt recorded a small mission or school church with presumably one modern bell. |
