Frogholt is a hamlet near Folkestone in Kent, England, on the banks of the Seabrook stream. There are eight houses in Frogholt. The hamlet is part of a conservation area and lies very close to the larger villages of Newington and Peene.
One of the houses, now called Old Kent Cottage, was probably built in the 15th century.[1] Claims have been made that it is as much as one thousand years old,[2] but since it is constructed as a medieval hall house with Parlour and solar, this is unlikely to be the case.[1] It is reputed to be the oldest thatched cottage in Kent and is said to have been a haven for Archbishop Thomas Becket during his feud with King Henry II,[2] although that claim is impossible to verify.
