St Nicholas at Wade is a village in Kent, UK with a population of around 1000. It is known for its 13th century church, and the local custom of Hoodening. The name derives from its location near the border between the Isle of Thanet and the mainland, as before the channel silted up to form the rivers Wantsum and Stour, one would have to wade across. In Roman times ships sailed down this channel, and remains of shipbuilding yards can still be found between St Nicholas and Sarre.
