In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ellington like this:
ELLINGTON, a hamlet in St. Lawrence and Ramsgate parishes, Kent; near Ramsgate. Ellington House was the seat of the Thatchers, and passed to the Spracklyns and the Garrets; and, in 1652, in the time of the Spracklyns, was the scene of a horrible domestic tragedy.
Ellington is now part of THANET District. Click here for graphs and data of how THANET has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Ellington itself, go to Statistics.
