STUDYING HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN LYMPNE (SHAL) A New Year and a New Beginning! Firstly, SHAL has carried out a great deal of archaeological surveying over the last few years which has added to our knowledge of the Roman landscape in Lympne, and as soon as restrictions are lifted we will be carrying out further surveys and hopefully excavations to consolidate the evidence. More on this will follow over the coming months. On Tuesday 12 January commencing at 7.30pm, we will be enjoying an on-line talk by Vince Williams, local historian and author on “The History of Cheriton”. The name Cheriton derives from the Old English words “Cirice tūn” meaning Church farmstead. St Martin’s Church, the parish church of Cheriton and the oldest church in Folkestone, dates back to before 900AD. There is evidence of a settlement in what we now know as Cheriton as early as 2500BC although little is known about the settlers. On Tuesday 9 February commencing at 7.30pm, Pamela Clark and Fiona Jarvest will be taking participants through “The Origins of Well-Known Phrases and Sayings”, eg: “raining cats and dogs”, “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water”, feeling “groggy” etc etc. We use so many words and phrases which, although we know what we mean by them, have no obvious connection to their context, and often their origins go back hundreds of years. If you are not already on our mailing list and would like to join either or both of these presentations, or would like more information about SHAL, please contact Fiona Jarvest on 01303 237143 or email: [email protected].

The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, in the vicinity of cropmarks possibly dating to the later prehistoric or Roman periods. Other significant archaeological remains are also located in the surrounding landscape. The engineering works comprised the excavation of a foundation trench for a penstock, and the re-profiling of a length of drainage ditch. No archaeological features, deposits or artefact were revealed during the engineering works. Deep excavations were only carried out for the penstock foundation trench where only geological deposits were encountered. Any potential remains present in the vicinity of the drainage ditch were unlikely to be revealed due to the limited nature of the works in that area.

  • Notes on the Probable Course of the Roman Road from Lympne to Dover
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 NOTES ON THE PROBABLE COURSE OF THE ROMAN ROAD FROM LYMPNE TO DOVER By IVAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE existence of a Roman road connecting Lympne with. Dover is attested by its actual appearance upon the diagrammatic map known as the Peutinger Table. No traces of the road had, however, been identified, and the growth of Folkestone and its outskirts has now put much of the probable route beyond direct investigation. Some notes were put forward by the late S. E. Winbolt in his book Roman Folkestone (Methuen, 1925) as a tentative approach to the subject, and it was with a view to testing these on the ground that the present investigation was made. There is general agreement that the existing road along the old cliffs at Lympne represents the Roman road. East of Shipway Cross it bends a good deal and is probably an old ridgeway track rather than an engineered road, but there seems no reason to disregard it as a part of the route on that account. We thus arrive at the crossing of the Brockhill Stream, just at the western entry to Hythe, and it seems clear that the trackway is directly continued by an old lane, now in part only a footpath, straight up the hill north-eastwards to Saltwood, making no doubt for the hills inland. Consideration of the eastward course of a Roman road from this point is very largely determined by the topography, which here shows marked features some of which would entirely preclude the making of a direct road.

  • Investigations and Excavations During the Year
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society INVESTIGATIONS AND EXCAVATIONS DURING THE YEAR I. REPORTS ON EXCAVATIONS SUPPORTED BY THE SOCIETY Interim Report by Mr. P. J. Tester, F.S.A., on, the Excavations at Boxley Abbey. By the courtesy of our member, Sir John Best-Shaw, the Kent Archmological Society has conducted excavations during 1971 at Boxley Abbey for the purpose of determining the monastic layout. Five members of the Excavations Committee have taken an active part in the investigation and assistance has been given by the Archaeo- logical Society of Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School, the Lower Medway Archwological Research Group and the Maidstone Area Archmological Group. A preliminary site-plan was prepared by Mr. J. E. L. Caiger who also conducted a resistivity survey. Excavation has consisted mainly of cross-trenching to locate buried footings, and by this means considerable additions have been made to our knowledge of the plan. In general, the arrangement as shown in the late F. C. Elliston- Erwood's plan in Arch. Cant., lxvi (1953) has been proved to be substantially correct, with several qualifications. The church was of the same form and dimensions as he showed except that the transepts were longer (north-south) and contained three eastern chapels each instead of two. Some walls discovered in a small excavation by Mr. B. J. Wilson in 1959 and 1966 are now seen to be related to the night-stair in the south-west corner of the south transept.

  • COUNTRYSIDE Page 1 of 16
    Page 1 of 16 COUNTRYSIDE Introduction 12.1 Shepway has a rich and diverse landscape ranging from the rolling chalk downland and dry valleys of the North Downs, through the scarp and dip slope of the Old Romney Shoreline, to Romney Marsh and the unique shingle feature of the Dungeness peninsula. This diversity is reflected in the range of Natural Areas and Countryside Character Areas, identified by English Nature and the Countryside Agency respectively, which cover the District. The particular landscape and wildlife value of large parts of the District is also recognised through protective countryside designations, including Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Heritage Coastline, as well as the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The countryside also plays host to a wide range of activities and it is recognised that the health of the rural economy and the health of the countryside are inter-linked. A function of the Local Plan is to achieve a sustainable pattern of development in the countryside. This involves a balance between the needs of rural land users and maintaining and enhancing countryside character and quality. 12.2 This balance is achieved in two main ways:- a. By focussing most development in urban areas, particularly on previously developed sites and ensuring that sufficient land is allocated to meet identified development requirements, thus reducing uncertainty and speculation on ‘greenfield’ sites in the countryside. b. By making firm policy statements relating to: the general principles to be applied to all proposals in the countryside; specific types of development in the countryside; and the protection of particularly important areas.

  • Lesser Spotted Woodpecker Species at Site (Obs) Dryobates Minor Category a Formerly Bred, Now a Very Rare 10 Records Since 1990 Vagrant
    [pic: 9cm wide] Lesser Spotted Woodpecker Species at site (obs) Dryobates minor Category A Formerly bred, now a very rare 10 records since 1990 vagrant. Resident throughout almost all wooded regions of Europe and northern Asia. In Britain it is absent from Ireland and Scotland (Snow & Perrins, 1998). In Kent it is a widely but thinly distributed declining resident, with some dispersal in autumn (KOS, 2020). Knight & Tolputt (1871) included the species in a list of those recorded in the neighbourhood of Folkestone, within a radius of six miles from the town hall. Whilst this range extends further inland that the current Folkestone and Hythe area, so is not conclusive proof of occurrence here, it does, especially when considered alongside other evidence, suggest that the species had been long-established locally up until relatively recently. The first documented local record involved one seen by Brian Uden in trees on the north side of the canal at the Dukes Head bridge in Hythe in March 1949, whilst Roger Norman noted the species occasionally along the Hythe Canal between West Hythe and Hythe in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the owner of ‘Marsh View’ on Burmarsh Road (Palmarsh) reported that both spotted woodpecker species visited their garden in the 1950s. Rowland (1968) writing about the “lowlands” around Folkestone (“a countryside of woods, fields and villages lying between the chalk escarpment of the Downs and the Marsh”), stated that three kinds of woodpecker “were common until the severe winter of 1963-4 when their numbers were seriously reduced” but “they are slowly increasing now”.

  • Botolph's Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West And
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 G (Botolph’s Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West, and Nickolls Quarry) The tetrad TR13 G contains a number of major local hotspots, with Nickolls Quarry, the Botolph’s Bridge area and part of Hythe Ranges located within its boundaries. As a consequence the tetrad has the richest diversity of breeding birds in the local area, with 71 species having a status of at least possible in the latest BTO Atlas survey. It also had the highest total of species (125) in the winter Atlas survey. Sadly a major housing development is now in progress at the Nickolls Quarry site and much of the best habitat is now being disturbed or lost. Nickolls Quarry has been watched since the late 1940s, though early coverage was patchy, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. As a working quarry the site has undergone significant changes during this time, expanding from two small pits to a much larger area of open water, some of which has since been backfilled. During 2001 to 2004 a series of shallow pools were created which proved particularly attractive to waders. Nickolls Quarry in 1952 Nickolls Quarry in 1998 Looking roughly northwards across the 'old pit' Looking south-west across the site towards the Hythe Roughs towards Dungeness Although a major housing development is underway on the site it still contains some interesting habitats. The lake is easily the largest area of open water in the local area and so remains one of the best areas for wildfowl, particularly during cold weather, for example in December 2010 when there were peak counts of 170 Wigeon, 107 Coot, 104 Pochard, 100 Teal, 53 Tufted Duck, 34 Gadwall, 18 Mute Swan, 12 Pintail, 10 Bewick’s Swan, 8 Shoveler, singles of Goldeneye and Goosander, and 300 White-fronted Geese flew over.

  • How Lyminge Parish Church Acquired an Invented Dedication
    ANTIQUARIANS, VICTORIAN PARSONS AND RE-WRITING THE PAST: HOW LYMINGE PARISH CHURCH ACQUIRED AN INVENTED DEDICATION ROBERT BALDWIN For more than a century, the residents of Lyminge, on the North Downs in East Kent, have taken for granted that the parish church is dedicated to St Mary and St Ethelburga. Yet for many centuries before that, it was known as the church of St Mary and St Eadburg. The dedication to St Mary, the Virgin, is ancient and straightforward to explain, for it appears in the earliest of the surviving charters forLyminge dated probably to 697. 1 The second part of the dedication, whether this is correctly St Ethelburga or St Eadburg, is also likely to pre-date the Norman Conquest for both are clearly Anglo-Saxon names. But the uncertainty over the dedication invites investigation to understand who the patron saint actually is and the cause of the change, which is an unusual event by any standards. At first sight, St Ethelburga is apparently also easy to explain. Although there were a number of St Ethelburgas, the one traditionally connected with Lyminge was Queen LEthelburh2, daughter of LEthelberht I, King of Kent, and widow of Edwin, King of Northumbria. The story of her marriage to Edwin, his conversion to Christianity and the beginning of the conversion of Northumbria in the 620s was recorded by Bede, writing around a century later.3 AfterEdwin's death in battle in 633, Bede noted that LEthelburh returned to Kent where her brother Eadbald had become king. Other sources4 recounted that the king allowed his sister to retire to his estate at Lyminge where she established a 'minster'5 and subsequently died in 647.6 A dedication to St Ethelburga makes sense in the historical context ofLyminge.
