    PEACE, SOLITUDE: Syndale A RURAL WAY OF LIFE Valley Walk faversham.org/walking NEWNHAM – EASTLING – STALISFIELD – DODDINGTON Peace, solitude: a rural way of life “Enchant, stay Escape to a land that time forgot, where farming, food and rural traditions remain the cornerstones of community life among the beautiful and graceful, unspoilt and picturesque scenery of the Syndale Valley. but do this, eat well” Running through the mid Kent Downs – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the chalk valley remains one of the few Charles Pierre Monselet timeless landscapes in this busy corner of Kent. Not without its own share of historic highlights and notoriety, your walk begins in the ancient settlement of Newnham, nestled in the Syndale Valley since at least the 12th century. Here the Romans grew grapes and James Pimm was born – creator of one of Britain’s best-loved summer drinks, the eponymous Pimms. The Revd. Granville Wheler proved the existence of electric current in 1725 at Otterden Place – just one of the grand homes that pepper your path as you make your way through ancient woods, working farmland and historic grazing pastures. Many of the woods on your route are still hunted by wildfowlers who sell their game to local butchers and restaurants, while others support the rural craft of coppicing - common in this area. Traditional coppicing of sweet chestnut shoots for fence stakes extends the life of the trees and floods the woodland floor with light in spring and summer, promoting an abundance of flowers and food for wildlife. As you pass back into sweeping open fields you may see kestrels and other birds of prey.

This Neighbourhood Plan is submitted by the parish councils of Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk, in Kent, both being qualifying bodies as defined by the Localism Act 2011. The parishes were designated as a Neighbourhood Area under the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012, Part 2, and Section 6 by Swale Borough Council on 19th September 2013. Strategically, the message of this Plan is that both the villages feel they are under siege. The pressure comes from two directions – increased traffic and proposed housing developments. Traffic: We sit at the head of the bottleneck leading to the Channel ports; Brenley Corner is among the nation’s blackest of black spots and, given the increasing demands of heavy goods vehicles travelling between the continent and the UK, the pressure on the through roads and country lanes and lay-bys, can only get worse. The quality of the air we breathe will also be affected.

  • Proposal for Swale Area Committee Grants Programme ‘Parish to Town Connections’ Project: Swale East Cycling and Walking Network
    Proposal for Swale Area Committee Grants Programme ‘Parish to Town Connections’ project: Swale East Cycling and Walking Network Background The Swale Borough Council (SBC) Eastern Area Committee passed a motion at its October 2020 meeting supporting the improvement of cycling and walking links between Faversham and neighbouring villages in order to create a ‘cycling and walking network’. The Area Committee will be allocating Special Project Funding at its March meeting and it is proposed to make an application to the committee on behalf of the Town Council to develop a local network. of the committee. Faversham Town Council is being funded by SBC to develop a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) in order to underpin the transport elements of Faversham Neighbourhood Plan, the Transport Strategy of the Swale Local Plan and the development of the current experimental 20mph scheme. This work is being carried out by Phil Jones Associates, who have designed the original 20mph scheme, with some of our project management being provided by Adrian Berendt who has supported us on the 20mph scheme. The LCWIP area is proposed as the existing town council area, plus the designated LP sites to the east of Faversham and the village of Oare. Creating a cycling and walking network beyond Faversham will complement the LCWIP work and it will be important for the two projects to work together in a coordinated way. To help this coordination we would plan to work with PJA in delivering the project and they are preparing a quote for project delivery against the specification below.

  • St James Church, Sheldwich
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 18 1889 ( 288 ') SHELDWICH CHURCH. BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. SHEEDWIOH Church, dedicated to St. James, is built close to the high road from 'ITavershain to AsMord which forms the western boundary of the parish; a most peculiar position for a church to occupy. Parts of the original Norman Church remain, still in situ and still visible, at the west end of the nave. In fact, as we enter by the western doorway, through, the tower, we find an original Norman wall both on the north and on the south, sides of the nave. On the north, it extends only to the commencement of the new arcade, of three bays, erected in 1888. In that northern fragment, however, we still see the western- jamb and part of the arch of a small Norman window, close beside the western-arch of the new- arcade. Opposite to the position of that Norman window stands another, of which the whole outer arch, and much of the inner arch (widely splayed originally, but now walled up) can still be seen, in the south wall of the nave. Further east, there is a good Norman south doorway, small, but complete, which is still in use, and is approached through a new south porch given in 1889 by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hordern of Throwley House, which stands opposite to Sheldwieh Church. On the west side of this Norman doorway, a holy water stoup (of the fourteenth or fifteenth, century) remains ,on the exterior. In the thirteenth century' nothing was done to this church, or whatever was done has disappeared.
