  • The Population of Chartham from 1086 to 1600
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE POPULATION OF CHARTHAM FROM 1086 TO 1600 ANGELA M. LANGR1DGE The subject of this paper is the population of an east Kent rural community from 1086 to 1600. Much recent work has emphasised the importance of demographic trends in the economic and social history of the medieval period. It has been argued that very considerable population expansion took place in rural society between the eleventh century and c. 1300.' Much of the change in rural society in the later Middle Ages has been linked to major demographic decline. Some historians argue that this decline set in with a subsistence crisis in the first quarter of the fourteenth century! Others date the downturn in the demographic trend from the first visitation of bubonic plague in 1348-49.3 A consensus of opinion is also absent with regard to the date of the upturn in population at the end of the Middle Ages. Estate and regional studies published in recent decades have reflected the increased emphasis on demographic change, but no systematic attempt has yet been made to investigate the popula- tion of a medieval community in Kent.' The kinds of evidence and the methods utilised in demographic studies have varied considerably. A number of studies have concen- trated on mortality figures, while others have attempted to derive generation replacement rates from a combination of birth and death See particularly the work of M. M. Postan, most recently in The Medieval Economy and Society (1978), 30-44.

Map Features: Comment text: Canterbury City Councillors in general do not represent the interests of voters. I strongly support the decision to reduce their numbers. I would welcome further reductions. In my opinion Canterbury City would be better served by a small accountable service with the remit of maintaining public land, keeping streets and roads litter and graffiti free and maintaining law and order. City Councillors are paid a lot of money and do none of these things. Decisions regarding future planning decisions and selling land should be put at county level and kept in the public domain; city councillors seem to have no long-term vision. Tax payers' money should not be wasted in allowing the City Council to pay expensive lawyers to fight residents' legitimate claim to preserve recreational land in densely populated city locations as such while neglecting basic maintenance of the city so harming legitimate business interests. https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk//node/print/informed-representation/2692

  • Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without
    Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without Thanington Without Parish Council extends a warm welcome to you! Thanington Within Civil Council was created, in 1894, from part of Thanington Ancient Parish in Canterbury County Borough. By 1912, it was entirely abolished and the area given to Canterbury Civil Parish. From 1918, for Parliamentary purposes, both Thanington Within and Thanington Without came in the Canterbury Division/County Constituency. Thanington Without Civil Parish was also created, in 1894, from the part of the Parish not in the Canterbury County Borough. Local Government responsibilities were exercised by the Bridge Poor Law Union and Rural District (1894-1934), later, Bridge-Blean Rural District Council (1934-1974). Milton Ancient Parish became part of Thanington Without Civil Parish in 1932. The first recorded Annual Parish Meeting was held on August 11th 1899 in a Thanington Schoolroom. Following the 1933 Local Government Act, Kent County Council ordered that there should be a Parish council for the rural parish of Thanington Without. A Parish Meeting held on 19th February 1935 elected 7 Parish Councillors (to come into office on 15th April 1935). The Parish functioned unchanged for nearly 50 years, although the area changed considerably in size. In the 1980’s the Local Government Boundary Commission reviewed parish boundaries. With effect from 1st April 1987, the Parish doubled in size, from some nine hundred electors to about two thousand. This meant that there would be seven representatives from the North Ward and two from the South Ward. The Parish boundary runs along the centre of the A2 by-pass, crosses Hollow Lane to the Canterbury to London railway-line, and then runs south, of the line to the A28, after passing through Howfield Farm to the eastern side of Howfield Manor.
