Unfortunately this won’t catch all readers, but is the best that the team could offer under these difficult circumstances. Unused subscription months will be credited when the annual subscription charges are levied in January 2021. The same applies to our loyal advertisers, without whom there just would not have been a magazine. Please keep a copy of an earlier magazine for contact phone numbers and trades you may wish to employ. The adverts will not be printed in these “on-line” magazines to avoid any personal information protection complications as advertisers have not given specific permission for their details to be made available in that way. Article contributors have been asked not to include any information that they would not want to be made available on the public internet domain. The cover photo was taken by John Haffenden. There is a web page on the Stelling Minnis web site (www.stelling-minnis.co.uk) which shows which of the 5 areas the cattle are currently grazing. Upper Hardres Parish Council has very kindly made a grant of £250 towards the running costs of the printed version of the magazine – when the magazine distributors feel it safe to resume their voluntary work, then production of the printed magazine will resume. Increases in costs will, unfortunately, mean a small increase in both subscriptions and advertising costs. The UHPC grant (a similar request was made of Stelling Minnis Parish Council, but not yet decided) will reduce the anticipated increase – full details will be published in the autumn and of course a discount will be given to both subscription and advertisement renewals to take account of the months that the printed version the magazine has not been published. Stay Alert – Control The Virus - save lives. Follow Government instructions so that the Country can fight the virus in the best possible way. Keep Safe Hardres and Stelling News – June 2020 page 2 of 24 Church news Parish Priests’ Message Dear Friends, As the lockdown is partially relaxed and we are reminded again and again of the need for social distancing we’re probably sick and tired of being reminded that we live in uncertain and difficult times. Of course, it’s been a difficult time for all of us, but even so it’s a blessing that we live in an area where we can enjoy all the signs of spring. The sky is so blue and the night sky filled with stars as we hear the song of the birds without so much of the background traffic noise. I dread to think how so many people in our cities are coping in high rise flats and bedsits. And yet, there are the Psalms of the Bible that speak of the beauty of creation. Psalm 8 invites us to consider the heavens; the moon and the stars as part of God’s creation, and speak of the majesty of a creator who cares about what happens to his creation. On the other hand there are those psalms that come from a place of darkness, as a desperate cry out to God in times of great distress and helplessness, Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer Psalm 4 And those words from Psalm 42 that Jesus cried out in agony on the cross ‘My God, why have you forsaken me’ But through it all, the Psalms encourage us to look to God as our help, whatever the situation or our feelings. Psalm 42 ends, Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God. Throughout history there have been times of plague, war, famine and much uncertainty. This is the reality of many people’s lives. God doesn’t wrap us up in cotton wool and make everything nice in an unreal fairyland sort of way, but he promises to be with us in all things and all times. As Christians we remember Jesus didn’t promise his followers an easy ride. We follow the man who died on a cross. But beyond the cross we see resurrection and the demonstration of God’s power of love, even over death. Even in the worst of times, God can bring good to us. Hardres and Stelling News – June 2020 page 3 of 24 This is not to make light of the pain and suffering so many are going through right now, but we have also seen care and comfort, courage and conviction in so many people’s lives as, although we are apart, we work together for the good of all. Please pray for those who have lost love ones, for those who are vulnerable and for those who are working often at risk to themselves, for the good of all, and that God will bring us through this to a new understanding of our need for Him and our need for each other. May God bless you, keep you in good health and in good spirits and grant us patience and courage in Jesus name. Phil Holy Communion online every Sunday.

We are mining historians – a unique blend of unlikely Kopposites. We are primarily archaeologists and carry out academic research into the history of underground features and associated industries. To do this, however, we must be practical and thus have the expertise to carry out exploration and sur- veying of disused mines. Such places are often more dangerous than natural caverns, but our members have many years experience of such exploration. Unlike other mining areas, the South East has few readily available records of the mines. Such records as do exist are often found in the most unlikely places and the tracing of archival sources is an ongoing operation. A record of mining sites is maintained and constantly updated as further sites are discovered.

  • Charles Oxenden
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society CHARLES OXENDEN Cricketer, Cleric and Medical Pioneer PHILIP H. BLAKE St. Patrick's Day, 1979, was the 105th anniversary of the death of the Rev. Charles Oxenden, Hon. Canon of Canterbury and first rector of the separate living of Barham, near Canterbury — and the fact will mean practically nothing to most people. Yet, a great national institution, the Eton v. Harrow cricket match, played annually at Lord's for over 150 years, was his foundation, and as a pioneer in the administration of health services for the poor he was advocating to a Parliamentary Committee 125 years ago that free medical attention should be provided on a national basis to every- one below a certain income. At that time, also, he was managing a medical provident society of over 2,000 members that he himself had founded 20 years previously. But past is all his fame. The very spot, Where many a time he triumph'd, is forgot. It is the object of this paper to recall some of the details of this useful life. Charles Oxenden was the fourth son of Sir Henry Oxenden, 7th baronet, of Broome House in Barham, where he was born on 23rd May, 1800, baptized privately three days later and was received into the Church at Barham on 25th July following. He went to school first at Eton, but was later transferred to Harrow. Although there is now no record of the exact dates of his entering and leaving either school, he certainly entered Eton in 1814 after Election, i.e., after late July, when candidates were chosen King's Scholars, and probably, therefore, at the beginning of the autumn term.
