Background
History
"Halling Man", a Neolithic skeleton discovered in 1912 behind the present railway station, is the earliest indication of activity in Halling. There is evidence of Roman settlement indicated by a number of burials from the period as well as Roman tiles. The first written record dates from the 8th century. In the Charter for Halling (765-785 AD), Ecgberht II of Kent granted to St. Andrew of Rochester "ten sulings at Halling with rights to pasture swine in five districts".
