References to Pluckley can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, at which time it was a more significant settlement than the now considerably larger town of Ashford.
The village's parish church, dedicated to St Nicholas, dates primarily to the 13th and 14th centuries. The Dering Chapel, separated from the rest of the church by two screens and found at the east end of the south aisle, was built in 1475. The nave contains brasses dedicated to members of the Dering family, all of which were made in the 1630s by Sir Edward Dering.
Pluckley had an entry in the 1989 Guinness Book of Records for being "the most haunted village in Britain", with 12 different ghosts reported.
Pluckley is the location of many supernatural television programmes (such as Most Haunted) and Ghostly Legends. It still attracts amateur ghost hunters today.
Among the most famous reported hauntings is that of the Red Lady or Lady Dering (who died in the 12th century), sighted in the churchyard of St Nicholas.
Other reputed hauntings include a ghostly monk, a phantom highwayman and a gypsy woman who died in mysterious circumstances.
Three of these are all within a few feet at the road junction ghost hunters have dubbed Fright Corner. Dering or "Screaming" wood is also said to be a strong focus of paranormal activity.
