PRESENT: Cllr Frank Hobbs (Chair), Cllr Christine Hobbs, Cllr John Elphick, Cllr Helen Calderbank, Jo Maher (Clerk), County District Councillor Susan Carey, KALC Chairman Ray Evison, Clive Adsett, Christine Webb, Tony Van Eldik, Marieke Van Eldik, Pat Elphick, Jan Wood, Derek Wood, Jenny Mannion 1) APOLOGIES: District Councillor Jenny Hollingsbee, Cllr John Pattrick, Cllr Charlie Wilkins, Cllr Jane Reynolds, Chris Reynolds, Gill Dixon 2) MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING: The Minutes of the previous Annual Parish Meeting held on Wednesday 20 May 2015 were approved and signed by the Chair. This was proposed by Cllr Elphick, seconded by Cllr Christine Hobbs and unanimously agreed. 3) CHAIRMAN’s REPORT: Your Parish Council had another busy year. We are currently threatened by major developments in the area. The on-going consultation about the lorry park at Junction 11 was expected to report some time ago on the preferred site, but there is no news yet, and now probably won’t be released until after the referendum. This could have a knock-on effect on the sand extraction site if they chose Option 2. And now there is the proposal from Shepway DC for a “garden town” running on the southern side of the motorway from Junction 11 to the western edge of Sellindge, no doubt Cllr Carey will enlighten us more in her report. We have been invited to a meeting at SDC early next month, along with the other affected parishes, to be briefed fully on the proposed project.

  • Some Problems of the North Downs Trackway in Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society SOME PROBLEMS OF THE NORTH DOWNS TRACKWAY IN KENT By REV. H. W. R. Liman, S.J., M.A.(0xon.) THE importance of this pre-historic route from the Continent to the ancient habitat of man in Wiltshire has long been recognized. In the Surrey Archceological Collections of 1964 will be found an attempted re-appraisal of its route through the county of Surrey. Although the problems connected with its passage through Kent are fewer owing to its being better preserved, there are some points which I think still deserve attention—the three river crossings of the Darenth, the Medway and the Stour; the crossing of the Elham valley; and the passage to Canterbury of the branch route from Eastwell Park, known as the Pilgrims' Way. It may be worth while, before dealing with the actual crossings, to note a few general characteristics. Mr. I. D. Margary—our most eminent authority on ancient roads in Britain—has pointed out the dual nature of this trackway. It com- prises a Ridgeway and a Terraceway. The first runs along the crest of the escarpment. The second runs parallel to it, usually at the point below the escarpment where the slope flattens out into cultivation. In Kent for the most part the Terraceway has survived more effectually than the Ridgeway. It is for much of its length used as a modern road, marked by the familiar sign 'Pilgrims' Way'. Except at its eastern terminus the Ridgeway has not been so lucky, although it can be traced fairly accurately by those who take the trouble to do so.

  • Notes on the Probable Course of the Roman Road from Lympne to Dover
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 NOTES ON THE PROBABLE COURSE OF THE ROMAN ROAD FROM LYMPNE TO DOVER By IVAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE existence of a Roman road connecting Lympne with. Dover is attested by its actual appearance upon the diagrammatic map known as the Peutinger Table. No traces of the road had, however, been identified, and the growth of Folkestone and its outskirts has now put much of the probable route beyond direct investigation. Some notes were put forward by the late S. E. Winbolt in his book Roman Folkestone (Methuen, 1925) as a tentative approach to the subject, and it was with a view to testing these on the ground that the present investigation was made. There is general agreement that the existing road along the old cliffs at Lympne represents the Roman road. East of Shipway Cross it bends a good deal and is probably an old ridgeway track rather than an engineered road, but there seems no reason to disregard it as a part of the route on that account. We thus arrive at the crossing of the Brockhill Stream, just at the western entry to Hythe, and it seems clear that the trackway is directly continued by an old lane, now in part only a footpath, straight up the hill north-eastwards to Saltwood, making no doubt for the hills inland. Consideration of the eastward course of a Roman road from this point is very largely determined by the topography, which here shows marked features some of which would entirely preclude the making of a direct road.

PRESENT: Cllr Frank Hobbs (Chair), Cllr Christine Hobbs, Cllr Helen Calderbank, Gill Thomsett, Clive Adsett, Christine Webb, Jo Maher (Clerk), County District Councillor Susan Carey 1) APOLOGIES: Cllr Caroline Butterfield, Cllr David Nicholls, Cllr Jane Reynolds, Chris Reynolds, Cllr Charlie Wilkins 2) MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING: The Minutes of the previous Annual Parish Meeting held on Wednesday 11 May 2011 were approved and signed by the Chair. 3) CHAIRMAN’s REPORT: The past year has seen Jo Maher settling-in as our new Clerk, and hopefully she is enjoying her work, as well as bombarding us with e-mails, as most of the documents from KCC and Shepway are sent in this manner now. We thank her for her hard work and input. In the past year we have been represented on the Village Hall Committee by Cllrs Helen Calderbank and Frank Hobbs, and on the KALC Area Committee by Cllrs Frank and Christine Hobbs. We have continued to keep KCC Highways informed when potholes appear and have reached a repairable size, and most have been repaired fairly quickly. Sandling Road is in a very poor state, but the good news is that it is going to be resurfaced this summer, albeit by surface dressing, but hopefully after many blemishes have been repaired first. We continue to push for the Phone-box to be repainted and have been assured that it is “on the list”, although BT is unable to give a firm date.

  • St Peter & St Paul's Church, Saltwood
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 18 1889 ( 421 ) SALTWOOD CHURCH. BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. THE Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, at Saltwood, has no pretensions to architectural beauty or grandeur, but it is an interesting rural church of a plain and simple type. It consists of a western Tower, which shews traces of its Norman original; a nave, with Norman south doorway and an Early English north aisle of two bays; and a chancel, the details of which shew more features of the Decorated style than of any other. An organ chamber was built on the north side of the chancel, and a northern turret-stair added to the tower, during Canon Knollys' incumbency. The church was restored while Archdeacon Croft was rector; but a new roof and a new reredos have recently been added to the chancel, by the executors of Canon Hodgson. Between the tower and nave there is no Tower arch, but simply a doorway. Above the doorway there is no arched opening, like a small doorway, high up in the wall (as we usually find), but there is a small circular orifice through the wall, with tref oiled stone work therein, through the curves of which the Sexton could see the high altar. In the Tower, the basement of which is now used as the Vestry, there stands an old chest with carved front, which must be between 500 and 600 years old. The Plate opposite gives a general idea of what it is like, but minute details cannot accurately be gathered from it. The front is carved to represent five windows, each of four trefoil-headed lights.

  • The Lists of Saxon Churches in the Domesday Monachorum, and White Book of St
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 60 ) THE LISTS OF SAXON CHURCHES IN THE DOMESDAY MONACHORUM, AND WHITE BOOK OF ST. AUGUSTINE. BY GORDON WARD, M.D., F.S.A. THE Domesday Monachorum is an ancient manuscript book preserved in the Chapter Library at Canterbury. It has recently been pubhshed in the third volume of the V.C.H. of Kent but with little editing or discussion. It commences with a list of churches and of the dues which they paid to the Archbishop at Easter. This is foUowed by a second hst from which it is seen that certain churches had others grouped under them in the manner of rural deaneries. The third hst contains only a few names and contains a statement of the dues paid " before the coming of Lord Lanfranc the Archbishop ". At the end of this last is a sentence to the effect that " what is before written " was ordained and instituted by Lanfranc. This can hardly refer to the dues before his coming (although it has actually been read in this sense) and so must apply to the first two lists. It foUows that these hsts were compiled in the time of Lanfranc (1070- 1089). But we can go further than this. The second hst includes the churches subordinate to MUton Regis and Newington by Sittingbourne. These are stated to have been given by the Conqueror to the Abbey of St. Augustine in 1070 (Reg. Regum Anglo-Norm. 35, 39).
