  • The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660
    KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY ON-LINE e-BOOK For the Good of This Town: The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660 Judy Buckley Photograph of 1640 memorial in All Saints Church by the Author Text 2009 ©Judy Buckley Foreword You shall True Faith bear to our Sovereign Lady, the Queen's Majesty that now is, Her Heirs and Successors, Kings and Queens of this realm. You shall have that regard and respect unto the Mayor that governeth this Town and Parish for the time being as is fit. And the lawful Franchises, Usages and Customs of the same Town and Parish, advance and maintain to the utmost of your power. And the same (as much as in you is) from unlawful grievance and damage shall keep. And as a Freeman of this Town and Parish, you shall bear yourself for the good of this Town, as it is fit and convenient. So help you God. Amen The freeman's oath, anciently administered in Maidstone. (Gilbert, Antiquities, 1865, p.126) This book is about the mayors and other jurats (aldermen) who led Maidstone from the granting of the first Borough Charter by Edward VI in 1549 until the end of the Commonwealth and the Restoration of Charles I in 1660. The period has been chosen to match Chapter III of The History of Maidstone (1995) by Peter Clark and Lynn Murfin. In that chapter they covered all aspects of Maidstone life, but this study will focus on the closely knit group of ninety seven men chosen by the common council - a traditional Tudor oligarchy - who influenced Maidstone during those years.

In order to illustrate how Kent and Medway is changing in terms of population, demo- graphics and housing growth, the figures in this section represent the period 2011- 2031, unless stated otherwise. 4.1 POPULATION FORECASTS GIF POPULATION FORECAST The GIF uses the KCC Housing Led Forecast, produced by KCC Strategic Business Development & Intelligence, to establish a population forecast directly linked to (and constrained by) the planned housing identified for this framework. As districts are at various stages in the Local Plan process, housing trajectories can be volatile. The GIF forecast takes housing trajectories at a set point in time (September 2017) provided by Local Authorities to perform a consistent analysis of growth and need across the County. The GIF forecast shows a 2031 population of 2,127,600 – an increase of 396,300 from 2011, equivalent to 23% growth Houses in Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks DC Figure 4.1: Forecast population change 2011 to 2031 (Source: KCC GIF Forecast 2017) KENT COUNTY COUNCIL 23 Net international migration accounted for approximately The majority of people who move into Kent and Medway come a third of this net flow into Kent and Medway, and con- from London.
