About Northdown
What are the main landmarks in Northdown?
Four entries carry the district. Northdown House is the largest of them, and Holy Trinity Church, St Andrew's and St Philip complete a list that reads as one house beside three churches rather than a set of sights. Margate holds everything else.
No museum, gallery or monument appears against the Northdown name, which is unusual for a district this close to a resort town.
What is the history of Northdown?
Dates do not survive here. Northdown House and the churches named against the district, Holy Trinity Church together with St Andrew's and St Philip, stand in for a written past that the entry itself never supplies, since no founding year is recorded. Margate keeps the older account.
What Northdown holds is fabric rather than narrative, a house and a few parish dedications that outlasted whatever the ground carried before them.
Where is Northdown?
Northdown is one of the districts making up Margate, and Northdown House stands on its record beside Holy Trinity Church and St Andrew's.
