In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Althorne like this:

The property is subdivided. Much of the land lies lower than spring-tide mark, and is protected by embankments constructed by Dutchmen, whose descendants remain here. The living is a vicarage, united to the rectory of Crick sea, in the diocese of Rochester. The church is good. A fair is held on 5 June.
