The Romney Marsh Irregular Registered Charity No. 297736 THE ROMNEY MARSH IRREGULAR The Newsletter of the Romney Marsh Research Trust St Mary, Kenardington St Dunstan, Snargate St Nicholas, New Romney St Peter & St Paul, Dymchurch No. 31 Spring 2008 Statement of Aims The Romney Marsh Research Trust exists to promote, co-ordinate and disseminate research into the historical, social and physical development of Romney and Walland Marshes and their immediate hinterlands. The Trust invites individuals to become, on payment of a subscription, a Friend of the Romney Marsh Research Trust and to participate in lectures, conferences, field visits and research projects. The Friends receive a biannual publication, The Irregular, which publishes research notes and provides a forum for debate. The Trust receives, raises and holds funds to meet grant applications from academic and other researchers, in order to support credible academic research into the Marsh, of a high standard, which can subsequently form the basis for a wider publication to the local communities. The Trust produces monographs containing the most recent high quality research papers. To date, four such monographs have been published, to high academic acclaim.

There is the usual interesting mix of papers. David Starkie makes a plea for the study of near contemporary economic history to be included in the Objectives of the Trust. What do others think? The editor will be only too happy to publish any rejoiners. Nathalie Cohen, whose MA thesis looked at various aspects of the churches on Romney Marsh has kindly produced a much condensed version for this edition, while Martyn Waller and Michael Grant report on their work to date the origins of the causeway that links Rye to the ‘mainland’. Gill Draper’s paper compliments this work by looking at the historical evidence for the Grove causeway and St Mary’s Marsh. This being the first Irregular of 2008 it includes, as usual, the booking forms for the events that are being organised through to September. Alan Tyler 1 The Secretary writes ..... This year's AGM at Tenterden was much improved by adding a social element. Roger Nixon, Membership Secretary, organised a pay-bar for an hour before Casper Johnson's excellent talk on landscape. Everyone appeared to feel that this went well - so thank-you to Roger and those who helped him. We plan to run a similar social hour before this year's AGM at New Romney Assembly Rooms, when your editor, archaeologist Dr Alan Tyler, will talk on the theme of Monuments of the Marsh from Domesday to D-Day. Bar volunteers needed. We are very lucky that once again Lympne Castle has invited us to hold our Spring Lecture there - again we have planned for a pre-lecture social hour. I know a lot members will be delighted to welcome back Sheila Sweetinburgh, a former RMRT Secretary, who, in her talk, will bring a historian's perspective to the lives of the medieval fishermen of the Marsh. We have two other events planned - the Winchelsea Archaeological Society will take us, in April on a tour of possibly the best set of (normally locked) medieval cellars in the country, while, in May, we are arranging an important study day at Bodiam Castle. The focus will be on Bodiam as the 'head-port' of the Rother and its relationship to its immediate landscape. For those who wish there will be time to visit the castle itself. The Rye Project goes well and it is time to start working on the publication phase. And this is where we need a team member to focus on funding this final phase. We need someone who can act as an administrator, assessing more precisely what needs to be done by way of publication, identifying sources of funding, filling in grant application forms and, we hope, writing some thank-you letters. The project is directed by Dr Gill Draper, who has the backing of an experienced steering committee. We have an outline publication plan in place and a good idea of possible funding sources; what is missing is someone to make it all happen. If this looks like an interesting way of contributing, as a non-specialist, to a major academic and popular research project, why not email me and I can explain what is involved in greater detail.

Being a fairly new member I read the Objectives with great interest and saw that the Trust exists “to promote, coordinate and disseminate research into the historical, social and physical development of Romney and Walland Marshes and their immediate hinterlands”. The essential characteristic of the intended research seems to be historical. If this is the case, why do the objectives of the Trust, as currently written, imply that the social development of the Marshes is an appropriate subject (note that historical precedes social in the list of adjectives conditioned by the noun ‘development’). I am being pedantic; I am sure most members will recognise that the intended context is social history. But why not also include in the objectives ‘economic’ history, which has its own distinct way of looking at the world? There are, it would seem to me, a number of interesting topics of contemporary economic history that are worthy of study and could be promoted by the Trust. Let me give two examples. I have on my shelves a dissertation on Romney Marsh written by Mary Roberts in 1956. I am not sure of its precise context but might have been a thesis contributing to a degree. Chapter 5 deals with land use and population, including farming, industry, settlement and communications. The piece on farming for example is most interesting and includes statistics and maps showing how farming patterns on the Marsh changed between 1937 and 1955. Might this not form the basis for a more extensive piece of work on the evolution of the agricultural industry on the Marsh during the last century? Also on my shelves is ‘New Romney: An historical and socio-economic survey and analysis of the community’, a report of nearly 100 pages prepared by students at Leeds School of Town Planning in the summer of 1968. Two of the chapters therein deal with the economic base of New Romney at that time and another chapter deals with the social profile. For example, there is extensive data on the employment structure of the New Romney residents in the 1960s, their place of work, the activity rates of the population and the general employment structure. 4 Much of the material was based on a sample survey of over 300 households. I for one would love to see this work up-dated so that we have a better understanding of how the socio-economic profile of the community has changed since the Second World War.

  • Notes on Kentish Royal Arms
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 79 1964 NOTES ON KENTISH ROYAL ARMS By V. J. B. TORE ABOUT thirty years ago some notes were compiled and published in Arch. Cant., xlv, 209-15, on certain royal arms in Kent which had recently received preservative treatment. I called attention to the slow- ness with which the subject had had any interest shown in it, up till then; and in the long interval since, it is only comparatively recently that it has begun to come into its own. Within about the last decade, a great deal has happened, and a number of English counties, particularly in the Midlands, has had lists compiled for the respective areas, addition- ally to much rescue and preservative work carried out on particular examples. If opportunity offers, I hope in due course to attempt a similar catalogue for Kent. But meanwhile it seems high time to record in these pages much that has occurred since the framing of the former list. I propose first to refer back to that list, supplying any necessary addenda et corregenda; then to set down particulars of later and recent preservative work; with a brief record of cases where something still remains to be done. 1. Hoo ST. WBEBXJEGH It is gratifying to correct the former statement that the two coats of Elizabeth I and James I were apparently lost. When last seen, both were existing, but instead of proper display in open church, I found them on the walls of the tower basement, with the further handicap that this is normally locked against visitors' entry, so that the arms can be seen only dimly and obliquely through glass which fills the arch.

Summary The Romney Marsh has a unique historic landscape that has evolved over thousands of years. It is now the largest coastal wetland on the southern coast of England and is well known for its natural beauty, diverse habitats and wildlife, rich heritage and extensive coastline. Its long and complex natural history is primarily one of land reclamation and the ongoing battle to manage and retain this land. A number of distinctive features are present throughout its iconic landscape that reflect a rich local heritage that is primarily centred on this battle for land drainage and coastal defence as well as a rich agricultural heritage, wartime defences, maritime heritage and the medieval churches of the Marsh. Its landscape is predominantly characterised by its openness and wildness and is unique in the county. 2. Introduction Since the end of the last Ice Age around 11,500 years ago, the Kent coast has been extensively modified by generally rising sea levels.

Summary The district is rich in archaeological evidence beginning from the first occupations by early humans in Britain 800,000 years ago through to the twentieth century. The archaeological remains are in many forms such as ruins, standing monuments and buried archaeology and all attest to a distinctive Kentish history as well as its significant geographical position as a gateway to the continent. Through the district’s archaeology it is possible to track the evolution of Kent as well as the changing cultures, ideas, trade and movement of different peoples into and out of Britain. The District’s role in the defence of the country is also highlighted in its archaeology and forms an important part of the archaeological record for this part of the British southern coastline.
