Hackington is a civil parish near Canterbury in Kent, South East England, including the village of Tyler Hill. It was projected in the 1180s by Archbishop Baldwin as the site of a new college, which was to contain the archiepiscopal cathedra and stalls for the King and all the bishops of the province of Canterbury, but the monks of Canterbury procured a veto for the scheme from Pope Innocent III.[2]
