The village stands on the river Darent ½ a mile SSE of Farningham r. station, and 4 ½ SSE of Dartford.” The entry goes on to state that “the manor was held, at Domesday, by Anschitill de Ros, under Bishop Odo: remained with the family of De Ros till the time of Lora, called the 'Lady of Horton'; and went, by marriage with her, to the family of Kirby, who previously owned adjacent lands.”

St John's Jerusalem – described by the National Trust as a “tranquil garden and 13th-century chapel.” The site where the chapel is located featured many more buildings including a hospital. It was originally a monastery that belonged to crusading knights. Today, the site is a tranquil one with lovely gardens and is a stark contrast to Dartford which is located 3 miles away.
Eynsford Castle – located in a picturesque village, this structure is an example of an early Norman “enclosure castle.” It was built by the Eynsford family and was protected by an extensive curtain wall rather than a keep or motte.
