I am part of a small comittee who has the responsibility for the general oversight of the hall. The hall is well used, and I am happy to be involved in the service to our community that this hall provides. I am married to Bob, a retired Civil Servant, and we have both worshipped at Christ Church for about 20 years. I have two grown up sons and three grandsons. Both my sons married at Christ Church, and my grandsons were baptised there. I was baptised, confirmed, and married at Milton Church. After our move from Gravesend we worshipped, for some while, at our local free church, and I became a Deacon, an Elder, and Church Secretary, before returning to CofE and Gravesend. I trained at Avery Hill College as an Infant teacher and spent the last 19 years in that profession as a Headteacher. I served in the community for 13 years as a trained advisor for the Gravesend Citizens Advice Bureau, and was for a short while on it's management commitee, and represented the bureau on the Gravesham and Dartford Domestic Violence forum, having been instrumental in establishing it. As a former member of Soroptimist International I have been involved in addressing local and global issues and have served on other committees such as Arthritis research, mainly raising the profile of its work and fundraising. I view managing the hall at Christ Church as an extension of my work in the community. FIRST STEPS Is a service especially designed for families with pre-school children, although all children in the family are welcome to come. We meet in the church at 1.45 pm on the second Wednesday in each month for a short service and then to enjoy a chat over a cup of tea. We are finished in plenty of time for parents to meet their other children from school. Why not come along with your children, you will be very welcome. Next date is Wednesday 11 July Christ Church Milton-Next-Gravesend Page 3 July 2012 THURSDAY 2nd AUGUST at 2.30 pm 34 WHITEHILL ROAD Entrance £1.00 Christ Church Milton-Next-Gravesend Page 4 July 2012 Eligibility assessment deadlines for NHS continuing healthcare funding People who think they or a relative may be eligible for continuing healthcare funding by the NHS but who have not yet applied for it are urged to do so promptly. NHS continuing healthcare is the name given to care arranged and paid for by the NHS for people not in hospital but whose primary need, as a result of disability, accident or illness, is for healthcare (rather than social care). Most people who receive continuing healthcare funding live in residential care but some people are in their own homes. The funding is subject to review. If people’s care needs change, their funding arrangements may also change. The Department of Health has set cut off dates for funding assessment because the responsibility for continuing healthcare funding is moving from Primary Care Trusts to Clinical Commissioning Groups. Deadlines being introduced as a result of the reorganisation of the NHS mean that applications must be in by 30 September for claims between 1 April 2004 and 31 March 2011. People whose care was received between 1 April 2011 and 31 March 2012 need to apply by 31 March 2013. People who received care across both time periods must submit before the first deadline - 30 September 2012 - for the entire period of care to be assessed. Applications after the deadline will not be considered unless there are exceptional circumstances. The Department of Health deadlines apply to people or their families who have not been assessed for continuing healthcare funding before. The deadlines · People whose care was received between 1 April 2004 and 31 March 2011 need to apply by 30 September 2012 · People whose care was received between 1 April 2011 and 31 March 2012 need to apply by 31 March 2013. To apply for assessment People or family members who think they could be affected need to contact the following: For residents of Dartford, Gravesham, Swanley, Medway and Swale Janet Manuel Head of NHS Continuing Healthcare Assessment North NHS Kent and Medway 50 Pembroke Court, Chatham Maritime, Kent ME4 4EL Tel: 01634 335045 The assessment process Health and social care staff work identify if someone needs a full assessment of eligibility for continuing healthcare. Two or more health and social care professionals involved in the person’s care will ask the person’s permission to speak to all professionals involved in their care. They might also ask for specialist assessments. Eligibility is then determined by looking at 11 types of needs, such as mobility, nutrition and behaviour and then deciding the nature, complexity, intensity and unpredictability of the person’s needs. If the primary needs are health needs, they will make a recommendation that the person should receive NHS continuing healthcare. The person will receive the outcome of their decision in writing, setting out the reasons. NHS Continuing Healthcare is reviewed after the first three months and then annually. Those not eligible may still have health needs. The NHS may pay for part of the support package without charge. The local authority may also part fund the person’s care package and you may have to pay a contribution, depending on your income and savings. If someone is unhappy with the outcome of their assessment for eligibility for NHS continuing healthcare, they can ask NHS Kent and Medway to reconsider the decision. Christ Church Milton-Next-Gravesend Page 5 July 2012 Through the kitchen door This month a couple of ways for a light bite for a summers evening. Squash, sage & Gruyère frittata Ingredients · 1 tbls olive oil · 1 Medium red onion finely sliced · 600 grms squash 1 cm diced · Few sage leaves · 100 grms Gruyère cheese grated · 6 eggs lightly beaten 1. Heat the grill to medium. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan, then add the onion, squash and sage. Fry over a mediumhigh heat until soft and golden. This should take around 10 mins. 2. In a bowl, mix together the eggs and the cheese. Season, then pour over the cooked squash and onion mix. Leave for 5 mins on a low heat, moving the mix around a little while it starts to set. 3. Once the frittata is set, but still a little wobbly on top, flash it under the grill to set. Allow to rest for a few mins, then turn out onto a plate or cut into wedges straight from the pan. Ricotta, tomato and spinach frittata Ingredients · 1 tbls olive oil · 1 medium red onion finely sliced · 300 grms cherry tomatoes · 100 grms spinach leaves and a handful of basil leaves · 100 grms Ricotta cheese · 6 eggs lightly beaten 1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onion for 5-6 mins until softened and lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and toss for 1 min to soften. 2. Remove from the heat, add the spinach leaves and basil, and toss together to wilt a little. Transfer all the ingredients to a greased 30cm x 20cm rectangular baking tin. Take small scoops of the ricotta and dot over the vegetables. 3. Season the eggs and beat well, then pour over the vegetables and cheese. Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until pale golden and set. Christ Church Milton-Next-Gravesend Page 6 July 2012 Have you ever wondered why we do what we do in our Sunday morning worship? Perhaps you are new to Anglican worship and find it all a bit bewilder- ing? Or maybe you would appreciate time and opportunity to think a bit more deeply about the different parts of the Holy Communion Service? During the Summer months we shall be holding a series of themed sermons exploring different parts of service.

  • Cobham and Its Manors, Etc
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 27 1905 ( 110 ) COBHAM AND ITS MANGES, ETC. BY A. A. ARNOLD, F.S.A. HAVING "been for many years connected with Cobham College as the Paymaster of that charity, I was lately asked to write a Paper about the College, and in collecting the materials for it I came into possession of some documents, of more or less interest, not imme- diately connected with the College, but relating to Cobham, and I have ventured to write this second Paper, making such use as I could of these materials. Hasted and other Kentish writers state that in addition to the Manor of Cobham or Cobham Hall there were also in the parish the lesser manors of Henhurst, Haydon or Hoden Fee, afterwards called The Mount, and Cobhambury. Some of the terriers of the College lands refer to other manors, viz., Vyands (spelt in various ways) and North Court; and this Paper deals with them all. The two most ancient manors are, no doubt, Henhurst and Hoden Fee. These are both mentioned in Domesday, and also in the Anglo-Saxon record relating to Rochester Bridge* preserved in the Textus Rq/ensis, and in the Archives of Canterbury Cathedral; it dates from the eleventh century or perhaps earlier. HENHTJEST. Henhurst; is thus described in Domesday (quoted from the Rev. L. Larking's translation, p. 123) :— " Ansgot de Roucestre holds Hanhest, it answers for half a suling, there is the arable of one team. In demesne there is one team, and two villans, with four slaves. In the time of King Edward it was worth twenty shillings, when he received it thirty shillings, now forty shillings.

We welcome all contributions of local interest. Please send material for inclusion by the 15th of the month preceding publication to [email protected] Hello everyone Thank you so much for the positive feed-back I received regarding last month’s online magazine. I hope that as people start to emerge from this latest lockdown and plans begin to be made there will be more content for you to enjoy. In the meantime, if there is anything you would like to see included please let me know. As the Cobham & Luddesdowne magazine steps in to the digital age I was reminded just how long the magazine had been going and it seems timely to pay tribute to all the volunteers that have kept it going for so many years; from my editorial predecessors to the contributors, distributors, printers and the paper carriers. The production of the paper magazine is a herculean task and has always been undertaken by volunteers who recognise the importance of community. I do hope that when possible paper copies will, once again, be available. As you may be aware I stood down as the Parish Clerk at the end of last year, I truly enjoyed my three and a half years in the role and will continue to support the parish council as they move forward with their plans to improve the parish and support parishioners.

Background 2.0 Byways Open to All Traffic (BOATs) MR45A, NS245, NS221 and RS221 form a small network of BOATs located on the border of Tonbridge and Malling Borough, Gravesham Borough and Medway Council areas. MR45A forms part of the North Downs Way National Trail. The BOATs provide access to a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The site is entirely situated within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 2.1 A report was produced for the Byways Working Group and Kent Countryside Access Forum following consultation with the local community, vehicle users, public rights of way user groups and other interested parties. The report was produced as a result of concerns being expressed about vehicle use of the BOAT’s and specifically damage to their surfaces, deliberate and damaging use of the margins and areas of land immediately beside them, wide spread vehicle trespass that was damaging to the SSSI and areas of agricultural land.
