  • Mayor of Fordwich It Is Easy Enough to Trace the Position of Mayor from 1292 When John Maynard Was Acclaimed Mayor – It Was He Who Founded the Maynard Hospital
    Mayor of Fordwich It is easy enough to trace the position of mayor from 1292 when John Maynard was acclaimed Mayor – it was he who founded the Maynard Hospital. He was obviously a man of wealth and position, providing not only the establishment of the hospital, but also land from which to take fir wood, and to graze animals. But the history of Fordwich goes back well beyond the late 13th century, and the running of a place of relative significance from the 7th century onwards must have seen leadership and authority, even if it was just to stand up for the rights of the townsfolk against the might of the monasteries! In the 9th century Fordwich was a ‘burgh’ and would have burgesses and a portreeve. What we do know does come from that later period. It is recorded that on the Monday after St Andrew’s Day- the first Monday in December, at 1.00pm the church bell would be tolled (predating the 16th and 17th century bells now in the church). The whole town was summoned to appear in the church where a procession of the outgoing mayor and his combarons or jurats – those who sat as a jury alongside the mayor in his role as judge – would arrive. Ceremonially the keys to the chest in which the finances and records and the valuable pieces of regalia were stored – would be gathered from the two jurats who held them, and place them alongside his own in a hanaper(a small woven basket). He would then address the commonalty Up until the 18th century the commonalty ( those residents of the town or liberty without other status – were largely freemen – or free women, and as such had the right to accaim).

  • Excursion to Sheppey
    EXCURSION TO SHEPPEY. 459 Heath, where there is a fine section in an outlier of Blackheath Beds. Towards the base the pebbles had become cemented by iron oxide into a hard conglomerate. Sand occurred below the pebble beds, and between the two was a thin band of allophane ; numerous specimens of this mineral were obtained. The amount of oxide of iron present gave the section a vivid red appearance. In spite of a long search, nothing beyond flint pebbles was found although on previous occasions a few quartzite pebbles of unknown derivation had been obtained by Dr. Hinde. Above the Blackheath Beds was to be seen a quantity of drift material, derived from Blackheath Beds and Thanet Sand. A short walk through a picturesque plantation brought the members to the edge of the dry Chalk valley, and the magnificent view there obtained was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A steep descent was made to the main road, and Upper Warlingham was again reached. Here the members enjoyed the hospitality of the Rev. T. T. Griffith, M.A., amidst the sylvan beauties which surround his home. Hearty votes of thanks to the Director and to the Rev. Mr. Griffith concluded an instructive excursion. REFERE~CES.
