The older children took picture books down into the younger classes and spent time sharing these stories with the children. Our Year 6 children were kind, patient and thoughtful ensuring that the children they were working with were engaged in the story and giving them the opportunity to join in as well.

  • Bethersden, Its Church, and Monu- Mental Inscriptions
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 16 1886 BETHERSDEN, ITS CHURCH, AND MONU- MENTAL INSCRIPTIONS. BY THE REV. A. J. PEARMAN, M.A. (FOEMBELT VIOAE OF BETHEESDEN.) THE parish church of Bethersden is a lofty and spacious building, standing in a good situation at the west end of the village. It follows very much a local type, and consists of nave, with north and south aisles; chancel, with north and south chapels, belonging to the Frid and Lovelace estates; vestry; south porch; and western tower, which contains a clock and peal of six bells. A seventh bell is placed on the exterior of the tower. No mention is made of Bethersden in Domesday Boole, but Archbishop Hubert about the year 1194 confirmed " ecclesiam S. Margaretse de Beatrichesdenne cum bosco et decimis et cum capella de Hecchisdenne "* to the Priory of * HECCHISDENNE, or Etchden, lies at the north-eastern extremity of the parish. Hasted says that in Henry III.'s reign " one William de Hacchesden had some claim to the possession of'it." 12 Richard II. (1389) Thomas Try vet, Chivaler, and Elizabeth his wife, held in " Beterisdenne " a certain tenement called " Heithesdenne," a memher of the manor of Boughton Aluph, as of the Honour of Boulogne. Four years afterwards it was the property of Thomas, Earl of Stafford. It now belongs to Lord Hothfield. The house has no remains of antiquity, but the moat is still to be seen, and is partially filled with water. There may be also noticed the trunks of some aged oaks; one in particular must have been a fine tree centuries ago.

Appendix W2 – Letter to householder and housing needs survey 53 2 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rural Housing Enabler (RHE) undertook a parish wide survey to ascertain if there are shortfalls in affordable housing provision within the parish of Wye with Hinxhill. The survey also sought to identify the needs of older households of all tenures needing to downsize/move to more suitable accommodation. This report provides overall information as well as analysis of housing need. A survey was posted to every household within the parish in July 2018. 1200 surveys were distributed with 387 surveys being returned, representing a 32% response rate. Analysis of the returned survey forms identified that 75% of respondents are owner occupiers. 55% of respondents have lived in the parish for over 10 years. High property prices and a predominance of privately owned homes means that some local people are unable to afford a home within the parish. At the time of writing the report the cheapest property for sale was a 3 bed bungalow for £275,000; to afford to buy this a deposit of approximately £41,250 would be required and an income of £66,786.

The Borough in & around Ashford & The Low Weald Council commissioned the KSCP to produce them. The Warren is an important site for its unimproved acid grassland, of which very little is left in Kent.

  • Canopy Cover Report
    Canopy Cover Assessment Kent Districts and Medway Executive Summary Canopy cover describes the area covered by a tree or shrub when viewed from above, including the leaves, branches and stem. Canopy cover is a two-dimensional metric, which can be used to quantify the spread of tree cover across an area, this method, however, does not measure understory vegetation. Assessing the spatial extent of a district and establishing a baseline dataset is an important step in the management of our natural environment and can assist planners, policy makers, foresters and communities to recognise the benefits provided by green infrastructure and its importance in community planning, sustainability and resilience. This dataset may be used to target resources to the areas that most need it. This study estimates tree canopy cover in Kent’s Districts using BlueSky data and the i-Tree analysis and assessment tool. Estimates of canopy cover for each ward, as well as each district’s total were calculated. The results provide a snapshot of current tree canopy cover and a baseline for comparison with future surveys. The average canopy cover of Kent and Medway is estimated at 17% and the canopy cover of the districts are as follows. District % Canopy Coverage Ashford 16.0% Canterbury 19.5% Dartford 18.5% Dover 9.0% Folkestone and Hythe 8.0% Gravesham 22.0% Maidstone 16.0% Medway 12.0% Sevenoaks 30.0% Swale 9.5% Thanet 4.0% Tonbridge and Malling 28.0% Tunbridge Wells 29.0% Average 17.0% There was a wide range of canopy cover across Kent and Medway at ward level, ranging from just 1.1% in both North Deal and Romney Marsh to 46% in Pembury.
