  • 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.

  • Mayor of Fordwich It Is Easy Enough to Trace the Position of Mayor from 1292 When John Maynard Was Acclaimed Mayor – It Was He Who Founded the Maynard Hospital
    Mayor of Fordwich It is easy enough to trace the position of mayor from 1292 when John Maynard was acclaimed Mayor – it was he who founded the Maynard Hospital. He was obviously a man of wealth and position, providing not only the establishment of the hospital, but also land from which to take fir wood, and to graze animals. But the history of Fordwich goes back well beyond the late 13th century, and the running of a place of relative significance from the 7th century onwards must have seen leadership and authority, even if it was just to stand up for the rights of the townsfolk against the might of the monasteries! In the 9th century Fordwich was a ‘burgh’ and would have burgesses and a portreeve. What we do know does come from that later period. It is recorded that on the Monday after St Andrew’s Day- the first Monday in December, at 1.00pm the church bell would be tolled (predating the 16th and 17th century bells now in the church). The whole town was summoned to appear in the church where a procession of the outgoing mayor and his combarons or jurats – those who sat as a jury alongside the mayor in his role as judge – would arrive. Ceremonially the keys to the chest in which the finances and records and the valuable pieces of regalia were stored – would be gathered from the two jurats who held them, and place them alongside his own in a hanaper(a small woven basket). He would then address the commonalty Up until the 18th century the commonalty ( those residents of the town or liberty without other status – were largely freemen – or free women, and as such had the right to accaim).

  • 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.
