I’m back in circulation again, having been very spoilt whilst staying with my son and daughter-in-law in Perth Australia. Very strange spending Christmas in temperatures up in the 40’s. Yes, I did come back to a new Great-Grandson weighing in at 8lbs 14ozs with a mop of dark hair. He’s lovely! I would say that, wouldn’t I? Another bit of good news. I have been fortunate enough to find someone to help me with the Rural Roundup. Mr Joe Wall has moved to Balmoral Road, Kingsdown with his wife Jenny. They are very experienced as they have been joint editors producing a Community Magazine for some years where they lived previously. Lucky old me, I will now only have to do half the work!!! Next month sees another year of Rural Roundup. Here we go into the fifth year. Doesn’t seem possible, does it? Time again for us to receive donations from anyone who feels they would like to contribute. Same arrangement as usual, depending which area you live in. You may hand it to your distributor, if you live in Kingsdown you may drop it into me, post it through the door of the Rectory or pop it in the box the Conservation Group has at the Post Office and they will pass it on. Ringwould residents can give their contribution to Jean Winn or drop it through the treasurer’s door. I can’t end the year without thanking everyone who helps towards making Rurual Roundup such a successful publication. Advertisers, contributors, distributors, Alan Smith, Mary Fish and Lisa Souter who do such a good job of the proof-reading and the joint treasurers Martin & Helen Rodney-Smith who have got the job so well organised.

This message is to you from Sister Aileen: “Since I joined the Community of the Sisters of the Church, almost 30 years ago, I have come to accept change as part of my life. People have the idea that the Religious Life is all the same, that nothing changes. That may have been so in the past, but our modern world constantly faces us with change and Religious Communities, and the Church itself, has to be prepared to weigh things in the balance and decide what really is unimportant and can be let go of. It is almost three years since I came to Kingsdown, though in many ways it feels longer. I have got to know a lot of people, have been able to share my time and my faith within the four parishes, and have become part of the community. Now, change is called for again. My Community needs me back at the convent and as CSC has first call on my time and commitment, I need to go. By the time you are reading this, I will have moved and Well Cottage is up for sale. There are so many people I will miss greatly, so many things shared - ministry, talk, laughter. However many times I move, I always take something with me of people and places. There will always be specks of love and friendship which over the years will rise to the surface and bring a smile to my lips and a stirring of my heart. Thank you for welcoming me into your lives. Thank you, too, to the four parishes for the leaving gifts you have given me. I am overwhelmed at your generosity! There will be more things to remind me of your love and acceptance, alongside some very rich memories.” Sister Aileen leaves us with our thanks and very best wishes for the future. Yours in Christ Cathy * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * First World War Centenary Commemoration This year there will be a number of local and national events in commemoration of the 1st World War.

  • Hedgerows and Tracks
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society HEDGEROWS AND TRACKS M. M. O'GRADY, B.A. In this study an ancient trackway is traced from Sandwich to Geddinge.1 Though no definite information exists about its origin, part of it was used as a boundary in medieval times, as revealed by the various rentals.2 The section which forms a boundary hedge along Eastry manor is dated in accordance with Dr. Hooper's method3 and it coincides with the date of the rentals. FROM SANDWICH TO WOOTTON; TRACKWAY AND HEDGES The trackway starts at Sandwich at about 10 ft. O.D. and can be traced to the Downs to 450 ft. O.D.4 In Sandwich, the trackway passes over alluvium where thin buried peat may occur locally.3 Next, it traverses Thanet Sands, Upper Chalk, Valley Gravels and Brickearth, but its chief foundation is Upper Chalk, The length of the trackway from Sandwich to Wootton Church, via Eastry, Golgotha, Shepherdswell and Geddinge is approximately 10 miles. For purpose of convenience the trackway has been divided, in Fig. 2, into five s e c t i o n s . The stretch from Golgotha to Wootton is not included in Fig. 2, but can be located on the Ordnance Survey Map. From St. Bart's road, Sandwich to the Woodnesborough road, the area is below 50 ft. O.D. The first part of the trackway is fenced artificially, but afterwards it becomes an open cart-track till it meets the Woodnesborough road.
