The beautifully presented property was formerly ‘The Dairy’ and has been sympathetically and stylishly enhanced, combining impressive original features such as Inglenook fireplace with log-burner, sash windows, beamed ceilings and flagstone floors, with modern living. Approached via a pretty front garden into the reception room, gives you an immediate introduction to this lovely character home. The ground floor briefly comprises another reception room with impressive fireplace, a stylish kitchen through to the dining room, a study and a modern shower room. There is also internal access to the studio to the front. To the first floor there are four good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally there is a pretty courtyard style garden with pedestrian access to the rear which gives access to the allocated parking space which is extremely beneficial in such a central location. The popular seaside town of Whitstable is situated on the stunning North Kent coast, 7 miles north of the historical city of Canterbury and less than 60 miles from central London. With its quaint alley ways, colourful high street and peaceful shingle beaches this town has a lot to offer both residents and holiday makers. Road links via the A299 Thanet Way give easy access to the M2 for travel to London and beyond. Whitstable also has a main line train station providing fast and frequent links into London Victoria (1hr 30 mins) and London St Pancras (1hr 11mins). The Vendor’s View I love the central location of my home. Being ten minutes from the beach and five minutes into town means you rarely need to use a car. The main bus route is perfect for my son who goes to school in Canterbury. Whitstable provides us with so much to do. We enjoy barbecues on the beach with family, the mixture of pubs, wine bars and fantastic restaurants that are all within easy reach and the outdoor life with cycling and walking in the nearby woods. I personally love older houses so living here is perfect for me, it has a lot of character and a homely feel. The many different rooms are easy to transform into whatever you want them to be; we have a room purely for watching television, a relaxing snug with a big inglenook fireplace which is great in the winter and my son has a playroom with a big screen where we watch movies. The open plan kitchen-dining room is a really sociable space. It opens to the courtyard garden, which is like having another room, it’s not too big and we enjoy barbecues out there. We have plenty of space for when family and friends come to stay, with four bedrooms, a family bathroom upstairs and a shower and restroom downstairs. At the front of my home I have a treatment room for beauty therapy, it was formally a dairy shop – so it is an amazing space to put to use however you want. I have been very happy living here, it has been fantastic, it is safe with a real sense of community, which has been great with my son growing up. I am going to miss the whole feeling of my home, the layout, central location, huge bonus of parking and how it lends itself to winter and summer so well.

  • Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments
    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.

  • The Trade of the Port of Faversham, 1650-1750
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 69 1955 THE TRADE OF THE PORT OP FAVERSHAM, 1650-1750 By J. H. ANDREWS IN the value of its trade, the size and number of its ships, and the geographical extent of its commercial connections the port of Faver- sham has never achieved more than minor importance, but in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the total volume of its traffic placed it among the leading ports of Kent, and in certain branches of the coasting trade it had few rivals anywhere in England. In the following paragraphs an attempt is made to trace the development of Faversham in the period 1650-1750, using the series of Port Books in the Public Record Office.1 These documents, although they contain very detailed lists of vessels and cargoes entering and leaving the port, cannot be accepted at their face value as a comprehensive record of the trade of Faversham Creek; and before describing their contents it will be necessary to ascertain whether any other landing places besides ' Faversham itself were included in the books, and whether there were any kinds of maritime trade which were omitted from them. The Customs port of Faversham, as delimited by an Exchequer Commission of 1676,2 included a considerable portion of the Kentish coast, stretching from Milton in the west to the North Foreland in the east, but not all this coast was covered by the Faversham port books. The trade of Margate was always recorded in the Sandwich books8 and the Commissioners were almost certainly mistaken in extending the limits of Faversham as far east as the Foreland, while Milton, which seems to have been an independent Customs port at least until 1670,4 continued for another century to keep a separate set of port books, recording not only its own trade but also that of Conyer, Upchurch, Rainham and Otterham.

  • The Live Bait Squadron Bulletin
    The Live Bait Squadron Bulletin Bulletin-4 July 2013 1 INTRODUCTION, BY YOUR VIRTUAL CHAIRMAN Dear Friends, Here it is - our Society’s fourth Bulletin. Time is passing swiftly, so we better hurry to brief you all on the Society’s latest developments. Saying we mustn’t complain would be an understatement. At our first gathering in Chatham on September 22, 2012, about twenty relatives of the cruisers’ crews were present. In the previous Bulletin we were able to report a number of fifty-five members, and since then nineteen new members have presented themselves. A word of welcome will be addressed them later in this Bulletin. New members bring along new stories. All of those are being collected and added to the personal files of the late crewmembers concerned. These files thus include various stories and pictures, gathered by their descendants and relatives. Apart from being published in the Bulletins, these contributions appear on the website under the heading “About the Men.” As this Bulletin is written, late July 2013, the Society has been able to establish files on 74 crewmembers. On inquiry it appeared that on average every late crewmember is represented by four family members. So in this case this would stand for about 300 related members. Along with the existing 250 non-related members we’re talking of more than 500 members, and their number is steadily growing. We’re sorry to have to disappoint those of our readers who’ve been looking forward to any real news regarding the September 2014 Centennial commemoration. At this moment in time it is too early day yet to come up with a detailed schedule.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

  • St Mary the Virgin, Ashford, Kent Diocese of Canterbury
    S t Mary the Virg in, Ashford, Kent Diocese of Canterbury Arts at St Mary’s was a major cultural project for Ashford, to both refurbish one of the town’s best loved historic landmarks and to boost the borough's arts offer. Vision For many years, St Mary the Virgin Church - mentioned in the Doomsday book - has functioned as both a place of worship in the town centre and a community arts venue, hosting performances each year from local and international artists. The church recently carried out substantial refurbishment work to the building’s ancient fabric, to sympathetically expand its use as an arts venue, while maintaining its function as a place of worship . How did you start? Taking inspiration from Union Chapel in Islington and St George’s Church in Brighton, the church was 'reordered' to create a more flexible space for religious sermons and ceremonies, as well as music, drama, and arts events. What was the total cost of the project and how did you raise the funds? The total project cost was £1.7m. The project was awarded European Union funding, through the Green Renovation Cluster programme (Greenov), to install a rainwater harvesting system and a ground source heat pump which will substnatial reduce the building's energy consumption and carbon emissions. The £1.7m project was awarded £1.2m of Growth Area Funding by the Ashford’s Future. Who were the project partners? Arts at St Mary’s is promoted and supported by the church congregation, Ashford Borough Council, the Parochial Church Council, The Bishop of Dover, Town Centre Partnership and statutory agencies such as the DAC, English Heritage, Arts Council England, and Historic Churches Trust.

  • A GROUP of MOUNDS on SEASALTER LEVEL, NEAR WHITSTABLE, and the MEDIEVAL IMBANKING in THIS AREA by M
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 70 1956 A GROUP OF MOUNDS ON SEASALTER LEVEL, NEAR WHITSTABLE, AND THE MEDIEVAL IMBANKING IN THIS AREA By M. W. THOMPSON THE origin of the mounds that are so commonly found on the marshes around the British Isles has always been a perplexing problem. The Essex Archaeological Society, it will be remembered, after several seasons' excavation on the Red Hills in the Essex marshes were unable to decide what activity had caused their accumulation, and it was only ten years later that Mr. R. A. Smith1 by the use of convincing Conti- nental parallels was able to show beyond reasonable doubt that they were the remains of salt works, where sea-water had been evaporated by an unfamiliar method. A few years later other members of this Society excavated further mounds, taller than the Red Hills, without briquetage and of Medieval date.2 They concluded they were salt works also, a view lent some support by the enclosures adjoining them. In the mounds we shall discuss below there was practically no briquetage and very little red earth; the mounds were clearly Medieval in date and not Roman or Iron Age like the Red Hills; and on Sheppey (within sight three miles away) the dialect word " coterells,"3 apparently of ancient origin, suggested that the mounds there may have been thrown up as refuges for cattle and sheep during tidal flooding. For these reasons we were reluctant to regard these mounds as salt works until the bulldozing of further intact mounds showed such frequent traces of burning that the conclusion became unavoidable that some industrial activity was involved.
