  • My Ancestors Who Lived in Leeds Castle (And Some of Them Even Owned It!)
    Chapter 75 My Ancestors Who Lived in Leeds Castle (and Some of Them Even Owned It!) [originally written 4 January 2021] On 20 December 2020, Russ Leisenheimer posted a photo of a sunset over Leeds Castle to his Facebook page.1 Russ was one of my high school classmates in Euclid, Ohio, and he still lives in the Cleveland area. Here is the photo: I have been using the “World Family Tree” on Geni.com to investigate my European ancestors who lived during the Middle Ages, and seeing the photo of Leeds Castle got me to wondering if any of my ancestors lived there. OK, I realized that this was going to be a long shot, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, I have lots of free time to look into such seemingly trifling things. I immediately went to Wikipedia.org to learn about Leeds Castle, and that prompted the following reply to Russ on Facebook: Wikipedia states that “Leeds Castle is a castle in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. A castle has existed on the site since 1119, the first being a simple stone stronghold constructed by Robert de Crevecoeur which served as a military post in the time of Norman intrusions into England. In the 13th century, it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a dwelling for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.” According to the World Family Tree on Geni.com, Robert de Crevecoeur was my 25th great uncle.

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.

National Arc F Kent Archives Offic Ch 46 Watts Charity MSS., 1579-1972 Deposited by Mr. Chinnery, Clerk to the Charity, Rochester, 1st May 1974, and 5th February, 1976 Catalogued by Alison Revell, June 1978 INTRODUCTION For information concerning the establishment of Watts's Charity, under Richard Watts of Rochester's will, in 1579 and its subsequent history, The Report of Commissioners for Inquiring Concerning Charities - Kent, 1815-39 Pp. 504-9, provides most of the basic facts. Other Rochester Charities are dealt with in the same Report (see pages 55-57, and 500-513). The Report also deals with various early legal cases concerning the Charity, and the uses to which its funds should be put, most notably the cases of the parishes of St. Margaret 's Rochester, and Strood, against the parishioners of St. Nicholas in 1680, and of the parishioners of Chatham against the Trustees of the Charity in 1808 (see L1-4B in this catalogue). The original will of Richard Watts, drawn up in 1579 and proved in the following year in the Consistory Court of Rochester, is kept in this Office under the catalogue mark, DRb PW12 (1579), with a registered copy in the volume of registered wills, DRb PWr 16 (ffl05-107). A copy is also catalogued in this collection as Ch46 L1A. Further Watts Charity material is found in the Dean and Chapter of Rochester MSS, under the KAO catalogue number, DRc Cl/1-65, and consists mainly of accounts of the Providers of the Poor of Rochester, between the years 1699 and 1819.

He died on 26th October 1973 at his home in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex. Simmons had a lifelong interest in windmills and watermills. During more than 40 years of private research, he visited many mill sites and consulted a wide range of documentary sources, including fire insurance records, local newspapers, directories and maps. He also exchanged information with other mill enthusiasts and thus gathered further information on those mills he was unable to visit.

  • 2009 Mills on the Air (525KB)
    Mills on the Air - 9th & 10th May 2009 A very enjoyable weekend was spent at the now usual venue of Cattells Windmill, Willingham. The weather was warm and dry. The mill’s sails are removed at present, undergoing maintenance and repainting, so the Mill was not operating this year. A record number of visitors kept the Mill owner, Richard G8FTE, very busy this year. Many climbed the Mill staircases to the top and some 30 club members and families visited over the weekend. Thank you to all those who took the trouble to come. On Saturday morning, after setting up the station, we were rewarded by extra large portions of coffee cake. I think somebody had cut it into 8 when it should have been 16, but nobody told Sarah. Mrs Cowley worked hard and the on-site cafe proved very popular throughout the weekend. The station used the club's G5RV aerial driven by the FT 840 transceiver via the MFJ ATU, set up inside the visitors centre. This is a very interesting and informative area with a great deal of information about this mill and mills in general. When Lawrence 2E0LCM arrived the rig was changed to his ICOM 7000, which performed very well. Over the weekend we worked 35 Mill stations, 5 Special event stations and made 92 contacts altogether. ‘After event’ logging was used since the laptop was badly affected by RFI. The logging application used was G0MDO’s Easilog EL6.
