  • Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre
    GB 1204 Ch 46 Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 22324 ! National Arc F Kent Archives Offic Ch 46 Watts Charity MSS., 1579-1972 Deposited by Mr. Chinnery, Clerk to the Charity, Rochester, 1st May 1974, and 5th February, 1976 Catalogued by Alison Revell, June 1978 INTRODUCTION For information concerning the establishment of Watts's Charity, under Richard Watts of Rochester's will, in 1579 and its subsequent history, The Report of Commissioners for Inquiring Concerning Charities - Kent, 1815-39 Pp. 504-9, provides most of the basic facts. Other Rochester Charities are dealt with in the same Report (see pages 55-57, and 500-513). The Report also deals with various early legal cases concerning the Charity, and the uses to which its funds should be put, most notably the cases of the parishes of St. Margaret 's Rochester, and Strood, against the parishioners of St. Nicholas in 1680, and of the parishioners of Chatham against the Trustees of the Charity in 1808 (see L1-4B in this catalogue). The original will of Richard Watts, drawn up in 1579 and proved in the following year in the Consistory Court of Rochester, is kept in this Office under the catalogue mark, DRb PW12 (1579), with a registered copy in the volume of registered wills, DRb PWr 16 (ffl05-107). A copy is also catalogued in this collection as Ch46 L1A. Further Watts Charity material is found in the Dean and Chapter of Rochester MSS, under the KAO catalogue number, DRc Cl/1-65, and consists mainly of accounts of the Providers of the Poor of Rochester, between the years 1699 and 1819.

  • Parish Profile St Francis Strood
    Parish Profile St Francis Strood Incumbent: Rev. Sharon Copestake St Francis Church Galahad Avenue Rochester Kent ME2 2YS Office: (01634) 719828 Vicarage: (01634) 717162 Email: [email protected] Setting The parish of St Francis in Strood is bordered by the River Medway, the M2 motorway and the old A2 main road. Predominately housing, some 15,000 people live within the parish and more development is expected within the next 3-5 years raising the levels to perhaps 18,000. Although the parish is home to an out of town retail leisure area (Medway Valley Park), which includes a private gym, Premier Inn, Cineworld multiplex cinema and a number of chain restaurants, the main users of these facilities travel from a wide geography. The parish is part of the Medway Towns and includes some of the most deprived areas in the South East. This shows the parish boundary (blue line), and the church is marked with a +. The dark brown areas are deemed ‘most deprived’ and so it is apparent that there is significant deprivation within the parish. The pale yellow is undeveloped space as Strood sits on the edge of the Medway Towns. Issues in the area include high levels of social isolation, high numbers of people with disabilities and unable to work, disproportionate elderly and childhood poverty levels. The Medway Town is well served with shopping facilities, and Bluewater is not far, although again less frequented by parishioners than the town centre of Strood. Buses are limited and many people feel isolated locally. The church St Francis Church was built in 1960 in response to the growing population, with a vision to serve that growth offering a place of hospitality and a place where life in all its fulness can be found.

In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Strood branch is closing: • The number of counter transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 89% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 12% since 2015 • In the past 12 months, 46% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches • We’ve identified that only 67 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch over the phone on 0345 7 345 345², with Jon Clowes, your Market Director for Local East.
