WHO Who we are Esquire Developments is a multi-award winning medium- sized housebuilder based in nearby Longfield and was established in 2011 by two friends. We have forged an excellent reputation, concentrating our focus within the local area and completing a number of renovations and new build projects in that time. We now employ 17 people and build a combined total of around 100 high quality and bespoke new homes a year. Using innovative design, superior materials and skilled craftsmanship, we provide homes that are distinctive and complement their unique surroundings. Those surroundings are important to us too. We give homes the space they deserve so We already have a proven track record that families can enjoy their property inside in Medway, having added homes to and out. communities in Cliffe and Hoo St Werburgh. We are currently building at sites in Chattenden, Cliffe Woods and Rainham, which are also proving very popular with a number of off-plan sales. We are also part of a local SME Network, a group of small-to-medium housebuilders that work together to identify sites to provide a contrast to larger housebuilders and help bring greater diversity in the quality of housing offered across Medway, Maidstone and Swale.

  • Time and Tides - the Project
    Evaluation Report Contents 1. Introduction 2. Aims and achievements 3. Quantitative Monitoring Summary 4. Qualitative Feedback 5. Project Profile and Publicity 6. Lessons Learned 7. Future opportunities 1. Time and Tides - The project The Time and Tides project was a local history and community arts project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Medway Council. It was designed to explore the local history, traditions and cultural customs of rural Medway with particular focus on the villages of Cuxton, High Halstow and Upnor, while providing local history learning and arts opportunities for people in the process. The project ran for one year from November 2011 until November 2012. The project was extremely popular, with over 1700 people engaging in the project in some way, including primary school children, teenagers, people of working age and older people. Levels of engagement ranged from people with a strong and existing interest in local history to those who had never taken part in heritage events before. Some people became core volunteers to the project, others enjoyed attending events and made a conscious effort to attend while others engaged on a more casual basis, dropping into occasional sessions or coming across an event or exhibition simply by chance. The Medway Area Medway is divided into the heavily populated towns of Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Strood and the rural areas to the North and South of these towns. The three villages of High Halstow, Cuxton and Upnor are situated on the Medway Peninsula, a particularly rurally isolated area with little agriculture or industry covering two thirds of the Medway geographical area.

  • The Parish Church of Hoo St Werburgh
    The Parish Church of Hoo St Werburgh Part of Strood Deanery In The Diocese of Rochester Our Patron – Dean and Chapter Website: www.hoochurch.org.uk Facebook: www.facebook.com/hoochurch/ A Church Near You: www.achurchnearyou.com/church/19900 “Building a welcoming, caring church family that is growing in Faith and reaching out with God’s love” A church at Hoo was known to be in existence as long ago as 1080-1086. The present building was probably started about the middle of the 12th century. St Werburgh’s Church is constructed of rubble stonework. Dressed stonework is in Kentish Ragstone and 19th century Bath stone. The lower sections of the Western Tower have some ‘Tuffa’ stonework that pre date 1100; however, the majority of the Nave and Aisles date from the 13th century with elegant arcades. In the 14th and 15th centuries the aisles and clerestory were significantly altered. The chancel dates from the 13th and 14th centuries and the Nave and Chancel in particular retain magnificent late medieval roofs. The spire is covered with Oak shingles and is 61 feet in height with a further 7 feet from its summit to the ball. The whole is surmounted by a 4-foot tall weather vane. It is set on a battlemented tower of 55 feet in height, making a total of 127 feet. During 2015 due to a problem with woodworm and crumbling floor timbers and with funding from the Heritage Lottery, grants from various charities and organisations and our own fund raising, we have been able to re-order the main part of the church.

  • Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017
    Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017 Executive Summary The Medway Heritage Asset Review intends to provide a comprehensive overview of the heritage assets in Medway in order to inform the development of a Heritage Strategy to support the emerging Medway Local Plan 2015. Medway benefits from a rich heritage spanning millennia, underpinning the local distinctiveness and creating a unique and special character that can be readily interpreted through the historic environment. The main report is broken down into sections, initially looking at the topography of Medway and how this influenced human settlement in the area, then looking at the development of the key settlements in Medway; taking into consideration the key drivers for their establishment and identifying existing heritage assets. Furthermore, the main influences to development in the area are also considered; including Chatham Dockyard and the military, the brick, cement and lime industry, agriculture, maritime and religion. Through investigating Medway’s history both geographically and thematically, the significance of heritage assets and the importance of historic landscapes can be readily identified; enabling a better understanding and providing opportunities to enhance their enjoyment. Non-designated heritage assets are also identified using a broad range of sources; providing a deeper knowledge of what shapes the distinct local character experienced in Medway and the how this identity is of great importance to the local community. The report concludes with suggestions for additional areas of research and identifies themes to be considered to inform the development of a coherent and robust Heritage Strategy that will help enhance, understand and celebrate Medway’s heritage for years to come.
