    Notes on Roman Roads in East Kent Margary

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society NOTES ON ROMAN ROADS IN EAST KENT By IvAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE Roman roads of East Kent are generally so obvious and well known that no further description of them seems necessary. There are, however, a few points at which the line is doubtful or where topographical problems admit of some discussion, and it is in considera- tion of these that the following notes are offered. They are based upon field observation made during a visit of some days to the district in June, 1947. STONE STREET—LYMPNE TO CANTERBURY The very striking directness of this road makes it clear that its purpose was to link Canterbury with the Roman port at Lympne. This was probably situated below the old cliffs, near the hamlet of West Hythe, to which access is given by a convenient combo in the cliffs at that point from Shipway Cross above. The Saxon Shore fort at Stutfall Castle was, of course, a late Roman construction, much later than Stone Street, and was probably connected to West Hythe by a spur road below the cliffs, for access to it from Lympne, directly above, would have been awkward. It is to Shipway Cross and the head of the combe that the main alignment of Stone Street is exactly directed. Although it has now disappeared between the Cross and New Inn Green, there are distinct traces of its scattered stone metalling in the field to the south of the Green, while portions of hedgerows and a footpath mark some parts of its course there.
  • Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without

    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.

    Charlton Park History Pamphlet Revised 2017 12 10 2015. Word[2]

    CHARLTON PARK BISHOPSBOURNE HISTORY OF THE LAND, THE HOUSE AND THE PEOPLE Jack Wales 2016 1 Bishopsbourne is a peaceful, out-of-the-way place, where nothing much happens for decades at a time. The ancient Charlton estate that forms the eastern part of the parish is even more obscure. Occasionally, some things of interest - or some people of interest - turn up unexpectedly. 1. Caesar's Battle with the Britons 54 BC On his second invasion of 54 BC, Caesar landed ( as in 55 BC ) at Deal, having decided that Dover harbour, which was further up the Dour estuary than now , was too well defended. After a night march of 12 Roman miles ( 11 statute miles ) he was attacked by the Britons from higher ground to the north-east of Bridge on the morning of 8th July. They used their chariots and cavalry effectively, but were easily defeated by superior Roman infantry and cavalry. Caesar writes clearly ( if briefly ) of this encounter in “The Conquest of Gaul”. He says the Britons advanced to a river ( he uses the word “flumen” which means any watercourse; it does not imply the English distinction between “river” and “stream” ) - clearly the Little Stour - and then attacked him from higher ground. This is an obvious tactic for them, as it would give scope for deploying their chariots. Barham down was relatively open ground at that time; pollen evidence shows that much of the woodland on the Downs between Bridge and Wingham had been cleared during the Bronze Age. After defeating them, Caesar conducted mopping-up operations as they hid in the woods at a well-defended point ( possibly in the vicinity of Old England's Hole on Bridge Hill, or an unidentified location ).
