Although praise is a constant theme, only the first five Poems Praise the resPective Patron and lord of Penshurst, while the remaining Poems Praise the exemplary Sidneys of bygone days, including Sir Philip and Dorothy (Sacharissa) Sidney. This shift in praise coincides with and is largely due to the gradual shift in literary economy: from the Patronage system to the literary marketPlace.

  • EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I Do Not Suppose
    EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I do not suppose many people in Penshurst will know me – or remember me, but my name is still just visible on the board over the entrance to the Post Office (formerly The Forge): I am described as SMITH & COACH BUILDER, Agent for agricultural implements. How much longer that inscription will last I cannot imagine, having been painted more than 100 years ago. Illustration by kind permission of Richard Wheatland www.richardwheatland.com Allow me to introduce myself: my name is John Ephraim SKINNER. I was born in November, 1872, at Wadhurst, East Sussex, the eldest son of a couple of farm workers. My father, Thomas, was a ploughman; my mother was just 20 years old when I was born. To be the eldest of 13 children gives anyone some position in life, and so it is no surprise that I grew up feeling rather responsible, not to say patronising towards my younger brothers and sisters. Look at me in the photograph, which I reproduce here. I could not help wearing a suit and butterfly collar – it was prescribed for me, but I did not object. Mind you – it was Sunday wear: we are in the days when everyone had to attend church, and had to dress formally – collar and tie, waistcoat, boots. How on earth do you think an agricultural worker and his wife could feed and clothe such a large family on their pathetic income? I cannot remember passing down clothes to younger boys when I outgrew them; I cannot ever remember having new clothes bought for me.

  • Leigh in the War 1939-45
    LEIGH IN THE WAR 1939-45 Leigh and District Historical Society Occasional Paper No. 2 Foreword The Leigh and District Historical Society has been concerned for some time that there has been no record of the impact of the Second World War on the village and people of Leigh. Many years have elapsed and the memories of these events, though still clear in many peoples’ minds, are inevitably beginning to fade. We have been aware that time was running out. We have therefore been fortunate that Morgen Witzel, a Canadian researcher who has lived in the village for several years, has offered to pull together all the available information. There are many people still in the village who lived here during the war and a number of them, together with others who had moved away but were tracked down through the local media or by word of mouth, were interviewed by Morgen. We are most grateful to them for sharing their memories. Their information has been supplemented by material from the village ARP log, which was kept meticulously right through the war and had been retained by the parish council in their safe; this proved to be a fascinating document. Local newspaper archives, particularly the Tonbridge Free Press, and official documents kept at the Public Record Office in Kew provided further information, and more valuable insight into the period was gained from the diaries of Sir Eric Macfadyen who lived at Meopham Bank and owned land in the parish of Leigh. Information from all of these sources is included in this book and has been consolidated onto a map of the parish which is reproduced inside the back cover.

  • Chapter 3 DEFENDING the VILLAGE – Part 1
    MEMORIES OF PENSHURST DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR David Martin Chapter 3 DEFENDING THE VILLAGE – part 1 The National Home Guard, originally Local Defence Volunteers or LDVs (better known nowadays as ‘Dad’s Army’), was formed in May 1940. The debacle and evacuation from Dunkirk was then starting to happen. The first bombs to be dropped on mainland Britain had fallen near Canterbury in Kent, about as close to the occupied areas on the Low Countries and Northern France as the Germans could get. With the rout of the British Expeditionary Force, the start of bombing and the massive build-up of the German Army and the Luftwaffe, there was no doubt at that Hitler had every intention of invading Britain. Indeed, ‘Operation Sea Lion’ as the German invasion plan was called, was already a deadly serious project. For the same reasons that the Allies chose as their landing area the shallow sandy beaches of the Normandy coast when they invaded France in 1944, had Hitler carried out his threat to invade England he would have chosen the flat sandy beaches of the Kent coast between Hastings and Folkestone. This was also the most suitable point on the coast closest to London, their primary target. All the main roads, the A2, A21, A22 and A23 led directly there. Though heavily defended by what remained of the depleted British Army and its supporting part- time soldiers, the most easterly of these routes was the A21. A serious natural obstacle along the way was the River Medway which ran from its source in West Sussex eastwards through Tonbridge, Maidstone and the towns around the mouth of the river such as Rochester, Gillingham and Chatham where it opened out into the Thames estuary and the North Sea.
