History of Broadstairs, Kent

Broadstairs, Kent is part of the parish of Broadstairs and St Peter’s with the inland village of St Peter’s being established as early as 1080. On the adjunct coast was a cliff top shrine, the ‘Shrine of Our Lady’ in a place called Bradstow(e) which literally means ‘broad place’ this was most likely due to the wide bay.

In the 14^th Century a fishing village was established around the shrine and this was later to become Broadstairs. The Shrine of Our Lady no longer exsists and in its place is St Mary’s Chapel.
