Littlebourne is a village and civil parish near Canterbury in Kent, South East England.
The 13th-century church, St Vincent of Saragossa, is thought to have been founded by the monks of St Augustine's Abbey and contains an ancient wall painting depicting Saint Christopher, patron saint of travellers. It is also thought that the convent of St Augustine used Littlebourne for the plantation of vines.[2] It is three miles outside of the city of Canterbury.
