  • The Warren Farm Chamber: a Reconsideration
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE WARREN FARM CHAMBER: A RECONSIDERATION PAUL ASHBEE At least seven ruined but recognisable stone-chambered long barrows, Kit's Coty House being the best known, still remain in the Medway valley where that river cuts through the chalk of the North Downs. They had exceptionally high rectangular chambers, proportional facades, and stone kerbs. In plan they recall the southern English earthen long barrows, originally of timber, such as Fussell's Lodge in Wiltshire (Ashbee 1966). They are distinct from other groups and are likely to have been versions of the stone-built long barrows of Holland and Northern Germany (Ashbee 1999). The Medway's megalithic long barrows (Fig. 1), like others of their kind, were surrogate long houses (Ashbee 1999, 270) and also repositories for human remains rather than mere tombs. There may have been centuries of recourse to them, before they were finally sealed with occupation debris (Piggott 1962, 26; Woodward 1993). Their construction with sarsen stones, some of almost Stonehenge calibre, required considerable labour, while they cannot but have fulfilled a central role for the Neolithic communities of the terrain that was to become Kent. Early in 1822 the great stones of a long barrow chamber's remnant part were encountered, just within the 300ft contour, and close by Warren Farm, on Blue Bell Hill (NGR TQ 753 606). An obstruction to ploughing had led to digging which disclosed large sarsen stones just below the surface. George Fowle, of Cobtree Manor, the landowner, ordered their removal, but when three uprights emerged he determined that they should be uncovered.

  • The Medway Megaliths and Neolithic Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE MEDWAY MEGALITHS AND NEOLITHIC KENT* ROBIN HOLGATE, B.Sc. INTRODUCTION The Medway megaliths constitute a geographically well-defined group of this Neolithic site-type1 and are the only megalithic group in eastern England. Previous accounts of these monuments2 have largely been devoted to their morphology and origins; a study in- corporating current trends in British megalithic studies is therefore long overdue. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN BRITISH MEGALITHIC STUDIES Until the late 1960s, megalithic chambered barrows and cairns were considered to have functioned purely as tombs: they were the burial vaults and funerary monuments for people living in the fourth and third millennia B.C. The first academic studies of these monuments therefore concentrated on the typological analysis of their plans. This method of analysis, though, has often produced incorrect in- terpretations: without excavation it is often impossible to reconstruct the sequence of development and original appearance for a large number of megaliths. In addition, plan-typology disregards other aspects related to them, for example constructional * I am indebted to Peter Drewett for reading and commenting on a first draft of this article; naturally I take responsibility for all the views expressed. 1 G.E.

  • East Malling Hotline Feb March 2021
    East Malling Hotline February / March 2021 News from your Local Lib Dem Team in East Malling East Malling Centre Community Have your say on 20mph scheme Larder - there to support you for residential roads Huge thanks to the team at the East Malling Centre who have continued to do a fabulous job supporting residents during this latest lockdown. If you are in need of support, or if you wish to volunteer, please contact Liz Simpson. Trudy writes: After many years of resisting 20mph Schemes, KCC is now favouring them on the large scale used in many towns and cities. So I have used £3,500 of my Councillors Community Fund for KCC to prepare a scheme for consultation to cover East and West Malling and Larkfield. The idea is that all residential roads should have a 20 mph limit, marked only by road signs and markings on the road surface. KCC say the main through routes of Winterfield Lane, Clare Lane, Mill Street and New Road (between the King and Queen and Beech Road) could also be restricted to 20 mph. However they suggest added features such as ramps, flashing signs or chicanes would be needed, for which funding would have to be found. Consultation on a 30mph limit for New Road between Beech Road and A20 is expected soon. So, all estate roads in Bradbourne Park, Clare Park, Stepstile, and Winterfield estates would have 20mph limits. The northern/adopted end of Blacklands, Middle Mill, Stickens Lane,Upper Mill, Cottenham Close , Vigor Close, Church Walk, The Trudy has given £1,750 to the East Malling Grange, Rocks Close, Gillett’s Lane and Four Acres Community Centre from her Councillors would also be covered by 20 mph restrictions.

Tenants who became tanners took advantage of local cattle herds, plentiful local water and extensive oak woods, which yielded bark to make tannin, the essential ingredient for making leather. Little physical evidence of the Wrotham tanneries survives. Their existence, and that of the tanners who worked them in the fifteenth a n d sixteenth centuries, has been pieced together from documentary sources most of which were found in the Centre for Kentish Studies.
