Burmarsh is a village[2] and civil parish in the Folkestone and Hythe District of Kent, England.

In the 1870s Burmarsh was described by John Marius Wilson as: "...a parish in Romney-Marsh district, Kent; on the coast, adjacent to the Military canal...

After which it remained part of the possessions of the monastery, eventually being entered in the record of the Domesday book, under the general title of the land of the church of St. Augustine in Littlestone.

After 1950 it seems like there is a sharp rise in population, there could be a link to the establishment of the National Health Service (NHS) in the year 1948.

The chapel was originally built in Saxon times but was extended into a church by monks of Canterbury during the Norman era, post the year 1066 (11th century).

The interior was renovated in the late 19th century with the removal of the box pews, pulpit and the sound board.
