Bobbing is a village and civil parish in the Swale district of Kent, England, about a mile north-west of Sittingbourne, and forming part of its urban area.

[5] According to Edward Hasted in 1798, the church consisted of two small aisles and two chancels, having a tall spire steeple at the west end of it, in which are five bells.

[6] The strange career of Titus Oates, inventor of the Popish Plot, included a brief period as Vicar of Bobbing.

[7] He was presented with the living by the local squire, Sir George Moore (who had recently purchased Bobbing Court) in 1673, but his drunkenness and blasphemy so horrified his parishioners that they ejected him before the end of the year.

[8] In 2003, the Cremation Society of Great Britain opened the "Garden of England Crematorium" on the outskirts of the village.
