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.

  • Yalding Representations
    Maidstone Borough Local Plan Examination Session 10A - Yalding Representations 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview 1.1.1 This additional evidence is submitted on behalf of Reside Developments Ltd (Reside) in respect to the emerging Maidstone Local Plan. 1.1.2 Reside Developments Ltd is actively promoting land north of Lughorse Lane, Yalding as a potential allocation site and object to the site’s omission. Furthermore, we wish to comment on the soundness of the plan in respect to the delivery of housing, specifically how this is delivered in Yalding. 1.1.3 We expand upon the evidence for this within this statement specifically responding to the questions of the Inspector. 1.2 Scope of Representations 1.2.1 Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) has submitted its Local Plan and associated Documentation for Independent Examination. An Examination Programme has been published, which divides the hearing into various sections over six week-long sessions. The first tranche of hearings is currently in progress and these address issues of national policy consistency, housing and supply and other strategic borough-wide policy issues. The subsequent tranches, to be heard in November and December 2016, will consider site- specific allocations and more generic planning issues. 1.2.2 Yalding has been allocated its own session, rather than being a part of the Larger Village session, to look at a range of specific issues raised. 1.2.3 This statement constitutes Reside’s formal response to the questions raised by the Inspector in regards to Matter 10A only. 2 Response to the Inspector’s Questions 2.1 Overview of Evidence 2.1.1 The Inspector has raised ten questions in respect to matters relating to Yalding.
