Penny and Steve Riley planted Terlingham Vineyard in 2006. The vineyard nestles in the beautiful North Downs above the Channel Tunnel; the south facing slopes look out over Folkestone and the English Channel with views of the Cinque Ports and France. The site is ideal for the three classic champagne grape varieties, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. These, together with Seyval Blanc, are used to make the sparkling wines. Bacchus, Schonberger and Madeleine Angevine are used for the white wines and Rondo, Regent and Dornfelder for the rose and red wines. Terlingham Vineyard is the smallest vineyard in the UK with its own winery. The chalky soil, the warm south facing slopes and the gentle sea breezes are all part of the terroir. All aspects of the wine-making process are carried out at Terlingham in a traditional way, including hand riddling the sparkling wines in pupitres and disgorged by hand. The win- ery cellar is underground enabling a stable temperature to be maintained throughout the year. THE WINES - Terlingham produces several sparkling wines by the traditional method. All are aged sur lie for a minimum of nine months, but most are aged for two – three years. The still white and rose wines are available by Easter after each harvest which takes place in October. The red wines are aged in the bottle for a minimum of twelve months. 4 Local place names have been chosen for the names of the wines; White Cliffs; Saxon Shore; Samphire Hoe; Caesar's Camp; Pilgrim‟s Way; Battle of Britain (yet to be launched). THE WHITE HORSE - The emblem of Kent is a white horse. Charles Newington created the white horse above the Channel Tunnel terminal near Folkestone to mark the new millennium. He has kindly allowed the design to be used as the Terlingham Vineyard logo. Terlingham Vineyard is now also known as the White Horse Vineyard as it is situated just above the White Horse. HISTORY OF TERLINGHAM - The Manor of Terlingham, in medieval days referred to as a limb of Folkestone, stands sentinel-like on its superior site. Ownership of Terlingham Manor can be traced back to the 13th century, to Matilda de Averenches and later to Richard de Rokesle. Mentioned in the Domesday Survey Terlingham Manor was chosen by the Romans and later by the Saxons and may even predate both of these. It is claimed that the Romans introduced the vineyard to Kent. TOURS – and wine tasting can be arranged during the Summer months between 2 – 4 pm, a reasonable number of people need to go on a specific day and a charge of £5 per head is charged, this will be refunded if wine is purchased. Penny and Steve Riley are very busy people so they can not cater for numbers of two or three people alone. Bob and I attended the Vineyard and Winery during English Wine Week 29 May – 6 June 2010, this being an annual promotional week opened to the public every afternoon. It was an intriguing place and a beautiful setting. Penny explained about the winery while Steve took us around the vineyard explaining the names of the grape varieties in each of the rows, and what wines they were used for and why the chalky soil and position above Folkestone is an ideal place for growing grapes for wines.

There were Belgians, Australians, Americans, as well as British. But it was the Canadi- ans who came in the greatest numbers and who earned a special place in the affection of the townsfolk. Over 50,000 Canadian soldiers would have called Folkestone „home‟ at some time during the war. Some of those Canadians died from injuries or illness. Those who did were buried with full military honours in Shorncliffe Military Cemetery. In 1917 Canadian Flower Day was estab- lished, and local school children were invited to lay flowers on the graves of the soldiers. By the end of the war over 300 Canadian soldiers had been buried at Shorncliffe. Apart from 1939 -1945, this ceremony has taken place every year since and is now held on Canada Day. Chil- dren from Shepway schools attend, with one child chosen for each grave. After a service of remembrance attended by local religious, civic and military leaders, as well as representatives from the Canadian armed forces and Veterans, each child lays a posy of flowers at the base of the headstone. It was my privilege, together with Ann and Pam to go to a number of local schools this year to tell children about the Great War and the Canadians. The children were invited to think about why so many men volunteered for service, when they would face such danger. We then asked for a volunteer from amongst the children and several hands shot up. They were told that they would be asked to do something dirty and dangerous, to go away from home and that their mothers would be angry and upset if they did so. Some hands went down at this point, but many more were raised! The chosen volunteer came forward and was put in uniform, a real leather Sam Browne belt from the Great War. We then asked the girls to imagine that the boys were their husbands or boyfriends and how they would feel if they went away to war. The boys were asked if they would still volunteer if the girls did not want them to do so. This was a revealing exercise! We asked them what sort of things they might give to each other as mementoes when they parted and showed the children real keepsakes from the war. They were shown a film about a lad who lied about his age to join the army and was killed in action, aged just 16. Finally, each child was then given a sprig of Rosemary, and told of the plans to replant it down the Road of Remembrance. We enjoyed meeting many of the children again at the cemetery on Canada Day and answering questions about „their‟ soldier. Damian Collins MP, our chairman, also attended and laid a wreath at the Cross of Sacrifice on behalf of Step Short.

ARCHAEOLOGY A N D T H E C H A N N E L T U N N E L PAUL BENNETT with contributions from Rupert Austin, Greg Campbell, Richard Cross, Alex Gibson, Elizabeth Healey, Martin Leyland, Steve Ouditt, Richard Preece, Jonathan Rady and Steve Staines INTRODUCTION Three separate construction areas have received attention from the Canterbury Archaeological Trust: Ashford, where the inland freight clearance depot has been built; Dover, where a construction camp, offices, working areas and a shaft leading down to the tunnel have been constructed; and Folkestone, where the main U.K. terminal facilities, the tunnel portals and a length of 'cut-and-cover' tunnel are presently under construction. Negotiations with Eurotunnel for archaeological work connected with this, the largest ever privately-funded civil engineering venture in Europe, began at an early stage in the life of the project. A document containing all known information regarding sites of archaeological interest was prepared by English Heritage (November 1986)1 and these designated areas were assessed in the field during July and August 1987.

    FOLKESTONE TOWN COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 TOWN MAYOR 2019 – 2020 It has been my great honour to serve as Town Mayor of Folkestone this year. It has been a joy to meet and support so many of the wonderful projects, events and charities that make Folkestone so special. Our Museum has gone from strength to strength and has played host to some excellent events including the unveiling of the photograph recreating The Belgian Refugee painting in the Town Hall, where over 200 residents took part showing what a vibrant and welcoming community we are. Folkestone has had some amazing events this year, including Friendship Charter with Mechinager, Nepal; Winner of World Music Town; 25th Royal Gurkha Rifles anniversary attended by Prince Charles; 75th Normandy Veterans Day; Unveiling of the DNA results showing that the skeleton of Aefre, with 98% certainty, is our very own Saint, St Eanswythe; Armed Forces Day with the Red Arrows with over 100,000 attending; Folkestone Trawler Race; Town Hall Christmas Light Switch On with live reindeer and our very own Sandcastle Competition! Due to the Covid-19 restrictions the Town Mayor’s Community Awards have been postponed until later in the year. I would like to thank all the residents who came forward as volunteers during the Covid-19 restrictions and those that self-isolated, to help their friends, neighbours and residents in need - a true community response. I would also like to thank all the key workers who have helped keep us safe and well during this difficult time. My Consort, Bryan, and I have had the pleasure of attending many civic, ceremonial duties and charity fund raising events across the whole of Kent.

  • Folkestone Regeneration
    11 July 2008 FOLKESTONE REGENERATION RNF 1.1 Notes These notes provide a summary of proceedings at the first Research Network Forum, held at the University Centre, Folkestone on 11 July 2008. The purpose of this session of the RNF, along with those following on August 15th and September 12th, is to provide an introduction the town’s regeneration plans and to identify these plans as a research opportunity. The day comprised a series of brief talks, an opportunity to explore the town and final discussion. Dr Paul Rennie (Central Saint Martins) chaired the session and introduced the following speakers Nick Ewbank (Creative Foundation) Spoke about the history of Folkestone and East Kent, and about the Creative Foundation’s work co-ordinating the regeneration of the town through property renovation, educational development and through the support of the Folkestone Triennial. This triangulation of infrastructure, education and culture was presented a unique and robust model for regeneration. The Triennial is a festival of contemporary public art and sculpture. Nick stressed the limits of the Foundation’s role. Professor Fred Gray (University of Sussex) spoke about the historical development of Folkestone as an aristocratic and residential seaside resort. The town’s history was placed in the wider context of the economic and cultural development of the seaside. Andrea Schlieker (Folkestone Triennial) briefly described that the Triennial project and explained that great effort that has gone into choosing appropriate works, so as to encourage the best possible engagement of local people. Adriana Paice (public artist, formerly with Greyworld) described the kinds of collaborative interventions being made elsewhere.

MCA 10: Hythe and East Wear Bays Overall cShnaarpaschteort Key Characteristics Description Visual Resource Mapping Location and boundaries The boundaries of the Marine Character Area (MCA) are defined in the south by the low lying shingle foreland of Dungeness and in the north by the change in geology from the mudstones and clays of this MCA to the chalk bedrock of MCA 11 (outcroping at the coast as the White Cliffs of Dover). The seaward boundary of the MCA is broadly consistent with the boundary of the South Inshore Marine Plan Area, representing the 12 nautical mile territorial limit and bathymetry of approximately 30m, and the transition to the main channel shipping lanes of the Dover Strait. The MCA is covered by Shoreline Management Plan area 11: South Foreland to Beachy Head. Please note that the MCA boundaries represent broad zones of transition (not immediate breaks in character). Natural, visual, cultural and socio- economic relationships between adjacent MCAs play a key role in shaping overall character. Therefore individual MCAs should not be considered in isolation. Overall character The MCA is characterised by a generally low lying coastline with views to the wooded slopes of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) behind, and the distinctive chalk and clay cliffs east of Folkestone.
