T SITE HE Roman fort of Rutupiae , now known as Richborough about mile and of I Castle , lies a a half north Sandwich and is situated on an undulating hill which rises to a height of to about 50 feet above the marsh . In order form an idea Of the appearance of the site in Roman times , it is necessary to trans m ' for in one s mind the whole of the surrounding marsh into sea , with the Isle of Thanet rising from it to the north and the , mainland stretching away to the west and south . Rutupiae would have been separated entirely from the main land at high tide by a narrow strip of sea and at low tide by a sandy creek across which the Romans must have constructed a . either a bridge or causew y Where this was situated is uncertain , but it was probably at the narrowest point to the west of the l . Island , a ittle to the south of the modern road The line of the a to Durovernum r Rom n road from here onwards , the mode n a ran Canterbury , c nnot now be traced , but that it across country in a practically straight line in accordance with the usual Roman two of practice may be assumed , and the first or three miles the Canterbury—Sandwi ch Road after leaving Canterbury may n have formed part of it . The site was also co nected with Dubris (Dover) in Roman times by a road which ran through n Wood esborough and Eastry . The harbour of Rutupiae would have been very accessible for of ri for the light draft ships the pe od , and good shelter them could - have been found to the nort h or south west . The geographical pos ition of the site made it eminently suitable as a port for ship h ping plying between t is country and the Continent , and as such it was undoubtedly used during the whole period of the Roman occupation . 7008 W t 1 0084 500 1 000 arrow ( ) . / H 6 RICHBOROUGH CASTLE 2 — S O Y , HI T R . e a Rutupiae is m ntioned many times by Rom n writers , and it would appear that the whole of this part of the coast was known Rutu ine one s i as the p Shore , as of the earlie t references , dat ng 9 — 8 1 1 7 A .

In the to Antonine Itinerary , believed have been compiled in the second D . r A . Fo century , it is called a port or haven the fourth century i an there are some st ll more definite references . Ammi us Marcelli nus states that Julian despatched the general Lupicinus to Britain 359 in to repel the Picts and Scots , and that he embarked from e Boulogne with a fleet and landed at Rutupiae , which he describ d a an d al s a safe quiet station . The same writer so tells us that ' an of other general , Theodosius , the father of the Emperor that a 368 m name , entered the country by the s me route in , in the ti e of ' a ' on t o the Emperors alentini n and alens , when his way quell a rising of the northern tribes and at the same time to protect, the country against the inroads of the Saxons and Franks on th e south coast .

In the rly part of its existence as a Roman port it unfortified as may well have been , the British tribes on the adj acent mainland had been entirely subdued soon after the a and was no a Roman inv sion , there fe r of an attack from the sea di al at that period . Later , however , the con tions tered , the sea a a a f ring Saxons from the e st became constant source of danger , and t o protect the country from their raids a chain of forts was titia a . N o constructed long the coast The , a document showing a ' the distribution of the troops ll over the Empire , the British section of which is believed to depict the organisation of the fourth c d entury , states that these forts were under the comman of the Count of the Saxon Shore and were placed at intervals along the coast from Brancaster on the north of Norfolk to Porchester near Portsmouth . One of these was Rutupiae , which , together with that m an ai whose ruins are still to be seen at Reculver , com ded the str ts ai between the Isle of Thanet and the m nland . When these forts c ai were onstructed is uncert n , but they probably date from the a latter h lf of the third century . The passages already referred to show that towards the end of the fourth century Rutupiae was the port at which reinforce ments brought from the Continent for the army of Britain were la N otit'ia nded . The states that it was garrisoned by the Second ai A D . Legion . This Legion came to Brit n in the first century . , and remained in the country until the close of the Roman occu t f pa iou . Its headquarters during the greater part o the time appear to have been at Caerleon in South Wales . The garrison was therefore stronger than that of the other forts under the two command of the Count of the Saxon Shore . These facts , a e t ken togeth r , indicate that at this period Rutupiae was the chief military port of Britain and the headquarters of the naval s defence of the province . so of This harbour , intimately connected with the early years the Roman occupation of Britain and their soj ourn here for over 350 a n one a b years , must lso have bee of the l st places occupied v 8 RICHBOROUGH CASTLE them , and must have been largely used during their gradual evacuation of the country .

  • A History of Ash and Its Churches
    A History of Ash and its Churches The present parish of Ash, more than 7,000 acres in extent and one of the largest in Kent, was once only a part of the great manor of Wingham. Originally a royal manor, Wingham was given by King Athelstan of Kent to the See of Canterbury about 850 : it covered the present parishes of Ash, Goodnestone, Nonington, Wingham and parts of Staple and Womenswold. In a list of churches probably made in 1071, in which 'Aesce' is said to belong to Wingham, mention is also made of an apparently more important church 'de Raette', as well as one at 'Fleota' belonging to the manor of Folkestone. If, as seems likely, 'de Raette' refers to Richborough, this is the only record of that church; but the chapel of Fleet, actually within the 3rd century Roman walls of Richborough Castle, continued in use until the 16th century. Leland in the time of Henry VIII wrote that 'withyn the castel is a lytle paroche Chirch of S. Augustine'. It was believed that when St. Augustine first stepped ashore in England in 597 the impression of his foot was miraculously left upon a stone. This relic was afterwards kept in this chapel dedicated to him, and pilgrims flocked there upon the anniversary of the landing to pray and to recover their health. Excavations have uncovered the ground plan of the chapel, and confirm that it was pre-Norman in origin. Excavations in the northwest comer of the Roman fort have also, revealed the foundations and font of an even earlier church of c.400, one of the earliest Christian structures known in Britain.

  • Notes on Roman Roads in East Kent Margary
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society NOTES ON ROMAN ROADS IN EAST KENT By IvAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE Roman roads of East Kent are generally so obvious and well known that no further description of them seems necessary. There are, however, a few points at which the line is doubtful or where topographical problems admit of some discussion, and it is in considera- tion of these that the following notes are offered. They are based upon field observation made during a visit of some days to the district in June, 1947. STONE STREET—LYMPNE TO CANTERBURY The very striking directness of this road makes it clear that its purpose was to link Canterbury with the Roman port at Lympne. This was probably situated below the old cliffs, near the hamlet of West Hythe, to which access is given by a convenient combo in the cliffs at that point from Shipway Cross above. The Saxon Shore fort at Stutfall Castle was, of course, a late Roman construction, much later than Stone Street, and was probably connected to West Hythe by a spur road below the cliffs, for access to it from Lympne, directly above, would have been awkward. It is to Shipway Cross and the head of the combe that the main alignment of Stone Street is exactly directed. Although it has now disappeared between the Cross and New Inn Green, there are distinct traces of its scattered stone metalling in the field to the south of the Green, while portions of hedgerows and a footpath mark some parts of its course there.

Canterbury Diocese 5. Dover Deanery 2 1. The religious and spiritual challenges in the 21st century It is challenging for a religious culture to provide the immediate gratification and answers of technology so embedded in today’s world. Equally the pace of life and often financial pressures place demands on busy family life. In common with many congregations we want to expand the number of families and young people in our churches. In order for our churches to become sustainable worshipping communities that effectively take mission into the local area we need to look at ourselves and identify what we do well and what we are not achieving and why. We need to listen to God, celebrate what is good and play our part in enriching communities. We therefore would welcome the leadership, inspiration and support of a priest to enable and encourage us on this journey. 2. Our new priest We are looking for a part-time stipendiary priest (0.2FTE; Sunday plus 2 days) who will: Grow and enable mission and ministry within the communities of Temple Ewell and Lydden Have a deep commitment to pastoral care Have a vision for mission and outreach Be a visible, compassionate and sensitive presence in the communities Be an effective

St. Paul’s Ye Olde Watling LCCOLSPYOW15729 Wheelchair Access on Ground Floor Disabled Toilets Storyi Ye Olde Watling takes its name from Watling Street the name of the ancient road on which it is built. Watling Street Watling Street is a historic route in England that crosses the River Thames at London and which was used in Classical Antiquity, Late Antiquity, and throughout the Middle Ages. It was used by the ancient Britons and paved as one of the main Roman roads in Roman- governed Britain during the Roman Empire. The route linked Dover and London in the southeast with St Albans and Wroxeter to the northwest. Watling Street was the traditional site of the Roman Defeat of Boudica, the line of the road was later the southwestern border of the Danelaw with Wessex and Mercia, and Watling Street was numbered as one of the major highways of medieval England. First used by the ancient Britons, mainly between the areas of modern Canterbury and St Albans using a natural ford near Westminster, the Romans later paved the route, which then connected then ports of Dubris (Dover), Rutupiae (Richborough), Lemanis (Lympne), and Regulbium (Reculver) in Kent to the Roman bridge over the Thames at Londinium (London).

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • William Stukeley's Kentish Studies of Roman and Other Remains
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society WILLIAM STUKELEY'S KENTISH STUDIES OF ROMAN AND OTHER REMAINS PAUL ASHBEE William Stukeley (1687-1765) was a pioneer unmatched in the hist- ory of archaeology, noted for his work on Stonehenge and Avebury, as well as his obsession with the Druids. It is not generally apprec- iated that he made major excursions into Kent and that in his pub- lished works, and many surviving papers, there are details of the prin- cipal Prehistoric, Roman and Mediaeval monuments of the County, as seen by him during the earlier years of the eighteenth century. Furthermore, his closest friends were John Gray, the Canterbury physician, and, from about 1721, Lord Winchelsea, of Eastwell Park. Two members of his antiquarian circle, Sir John Elwill and Sir Samuel Lennard, resided at Beckenham and West Wickham respect- ively, while another, Hercules Ayleway, wrote from 'Merriworth Castle'. Stukeley (Plate I) studied medicine at Cambridge and later in London, at St Thomas's Hospital. He spent seven years in practice in his native Lincolnshire, at Boston, returning to London in 1717. His countryside tours and antiquarian interests, led to the detailed appreciations of Stonehenge and Avebury, their supportive land- scapes and allied monuments, made between 1718 and 1724, for which he is justly famous. In 1717 he became the first Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of London and wrote in the Minute-Book that 'Without drawing or designing the study of Antiquities or any other science is lame and imperfect'.
