  • A Year in View 2015 -2016
    A year in view 2015 -2016 The KSCP is the principal organisation conserving, enhancing and promoting the countryside and urban green space of the Stour Valley. It is one of eight countryside/coastal partnerships in Kent and covers the largest area. In 2015/16 the Partnership carried out hundreds of projects from Lenham and Smarden in the west, to Sandwich in the east, to Whitstable in the north, and Aldington to the south. The KSCP aligns its objectives with those of its key partners - Ashford Borough Council, Canterbury City Council, the Environment Agency and Kent County Council, without whose support it could not operate. We would like to thank all those involved with the Partnership, and especially our volunteers, for making a real difference to the landscape, wildlife and communities of this part of Kent. Work with local communities Supported 19 site based community groups with practical help managing their land. Brought 14 schools onto sites to carry out educational work, and worked with 19 other community groups. Working with Loudon Wood Management Group we submitted an application to Veolia Environmental Trust and received funding in January 2015 to restore a small ancient woodland and play area. We helped Friends of Westgate Parks run a ‘Clean for the Queen’ event. Attended numer- ous evening meetings supporting and guiding local groups. Jenny Tippen from Ashford Community Woodland said “I would like to thank you and your volunteer group for all your hard work today. We achieved so much and we really appreciate your help.” Godinton Primary School children who helped to select the play ‘Clean for the Queen’ at Westgate Parks.

  • The Great Rebellion in Kent of 1381. Illustrated from the Public Records
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 3 1860 65 THE GREAT REBELLION IN KENT OF 1381 ILLUS- TRATED FROM THE PUBLIC RECORDS. BY W. E. IXAHEKTY. FEW events are more prominent in our annals than that called " Wat Tyler's Rebellion." Writers of every de- gree of research have employed their pens upon the subject, but as none of them seem to have availed them- selves of the information that the public records could supply, it is no wonder that, after all, they have given but a very inadequate picture of one of the most im- portant transactions of the fourteenth century. Their accounts would lead us to suppose that the mighty com- motion sprang entirely out of a dispute about three groats, and in the course of a .single week subsided as quickly as it had arisen;—the murder of the tax-gatherer at Dartford being the first act of the drama, and the death of Wat Tyler the last;—after which the King and his nobles had nothing to do but to take unre- strained vengeance on the insurgents as long as they pleased. If we look to the records, however, we shall find that the commotion had a more adequate cause and a longer duration, and as the origin of the disturbances is by common consent ascribed to Kent, we trust this may be a sufficient reason for asking space in the pages, of' Ar- chseologia Cantiana' for some hitherto unpublished docu- ments on the subject. The limit necessarily imposed to these remarks will allow us only to glance at a few VOL.
