History
The name "Waldershare" means 'District of the forest-dwellers'.[1] Waldershare was recorded in the Domesday Book as Walwalesere.[2] In 1086, the village was in the hundred of Eastry in the ancient Lathe of Eastry.[3] By 1295 the ancient lathe had been merged into the Lathe of St. Augustine. In the 18th century, the noble family of Waldershare were lords of a manor in the parish of Shebbertswell.[4] In 1931 the parish had a population of 109.[5] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Tilmanstone and Ripple.[6]
