Henry VI. Tenterden has a considerable See also:trade in agricultural produce and stock. It is governed by a See also:mayor, four aldermen and twelve councillors. See also:Area, 8946 acres.
Tenterden (Tenterdenne, Tentyrden) figures frequently in contemporary records from 1300 onwards. In 1449 Henry VI. incorporated it by the name of a " See also:Bailiff and Commonalty," and See also:united it to Rye. In return for these and other privileges it was to contribute towards the services due from the latter as one of the Cinque Ports. The troubles of 1449 apparently hindered the issue of the See also:charter, since in 1463 See also:Edward IV. brought it into operation. In 160o it was incorporated under the See also:title of the " Mayor, Jurats and See also:Commons " of the town and See also:hundred of Tenterden, in the See also:county of Kent, the members of the See also:corporation ranking henceforward as barons of the Cinque Ports. A weekly See also:corn market on See also:Friday and a yearly See also:fair on the first See also:Monday in May were granted, both of which are held at the See also:present See also:day. In 1790 a contemporary writer mentions the market as being little frequented, whilst the fair was large and resorted to by all the neighbourhood. This charter was exemplified by that of the See also:year 1700. The See also:size and importance of Tenterden can be estimated from a See also:receipt of 1635 for X90
