Lying in farmland, interspersed with woods and lakes, we have good access to Canterbury and various connections to London. To the south and east we have a wonderful coastline and a plethora of seaside towns, with all that they can offer. Our Parish is rich in history and architecture - yet remains firmly focussed on the future. Bringing this all together is a strong sense of community, shown by parishioners organising and attending the many clubs, associations and events that structure our year. These range from Carols around the Christmas tree in Ickham, to the Cricket Club‟s busy summer programme, or the Bramling Beer Festival in the autumn. As we can see from the Parish Plan Questionnaires the vast majority of residents appreciate how lucky they are to live in the Parish and are keen that it should remain as a rural community, nestled in farmland and green spaces. However, these same people also have some concerns, or ideals that they would like to see addressed. The Parish Plan is a first step in providing our community with enhanced facilities to improve the quality of life of those who live here, and those who will come to live or work in the Parish. At the same time it recognises that nothing should be done which will spoil the nature of the Parish and its villages. It was with this aim that the plan was created and it is towards this goal that it will move forward. The challenge facing the Committee has been to honestly represent the views of all parishioners (sometimes contradictory) and to produce balanced proposals for the future. Comments and, perhaps more importantly, wide involvement are welcomed. Geography and History The Parish of Ickham and Well is situated approximately five miles east of Canterbury in Kent, South East England. The name Ickham appears to derive from two Saxon words Yeok – a measure of arable land, and Ham – a dwelling or enclosure. Yeokham was first corrupted to Yeoham and later to its modern form Ickham. Ickham and Well Parish is an agricultural Parish of about 900ha (2,220 acres) and encompasses the village of Ickham; the hamlets of Seaton, Bramling, Duckpitts and Cherville House, Upper and Lower Garrington and Lee Priory; and the farms of Lee Priory Farm, Britton Farm and Appleton Farm. In 1841 the population of the Parish was 550; currently the population is about 420. The northwest boundary of the parish runs along the Nailbourne, Silver Dike and the Little Stour to Wickhambreaux then along Blackhole Dike to the north east boundary, which goes along channels and dikes and around the Isle of Rhee. The south east boundary follows Port Rill past Britton Farm, goes around Bramling and along field boundaries past Appleton Farm to the railway line, which is the south west boundary of the Parish. The village of Well used to be within the Parish but is now in the Parish of Littlebourne and Quaives Farm, which is on the edge of Wickhambreaux, is actually in the Parish as the original Parish boundary followed the course of the river. At its lowest point, in the north east of the Parish near Britton Farm, the land is only 2m above sea level rising to about 50m in the SW near to the railway line. The A257 runs through the Parish separating the settlements of Bramling and Lee Priory, from Ickham. The earliest mention of Ickham according to the “Villare Cantiarum” is in 781 when “Ickham…was given by King Offa to Christchurch and to the monks of that convent”. Despite this fact there is evidence for earlier settlements on, or near, the sites of the present villages. For example, we know that there were Roman watermills in the Ickham area. The Domesday Book, a survey of all England carried out in 1086 at the end of the reign of William the Conqueror, lists the villages of Ickham, Littlebourne and Wickhambreaux as manors and they were, together with Garrington, part of the „Downhamford‟ Hundred. Ickham was for many years the “treasury” for Canterbury Cathedral. This fact is still visible today in many street and house names, which include the words “treasury” and “rectory”. The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist is located in Ickham, dates from the 13th century and is probably on the site of an earlier wooden Saxon church. The Church belonged to Christ Church Priory, as 3 did most of the land in the parish. Up to the 1750‟s there were 18 monks‟ stalls in the chancel of the church showing the number of monks who would come out to the Parish to inspect the farms of the district. Ickham is centered around a single road, The Street, with many old and well preserved houses. Parts of the oldest house in the village, dating from the 13th century, are preserved in The Old Rectory, which was used as the Rectory up to 1955; it was then rented to students of the newly formed Kent University, before becoming a residence for elderly gentlefolk and nowadays a private home. Portions of a 13th century house are also preserved in New Place, which was the home for some time of Brigadier Jack Slade Powell, D.S.O. a noted character in the village, who has a plaque commemorating his life by the village pond. Pubs in the Parish are The Duke William in Ickham and The Haywain Inn in Bramling. The Duke William was the first place in the parish to get a telephone, in 1905, when one was installed inside the back porch. The Haywain was originally called The Volunteer, when Bramling Downs were in regular use for manoeuvres by the volunteer army, but changed its name in 1976. Ickham and Well Parish was traditionally a farming parish growing grain, root crops for cattle food and hops. Hop production declined after the 1920‟s and the majority of the Parish is now used for grain and vegetable production, with only a small area being used for cattle grazing. Over the years many shops and services have been lost from the Parish including a baker‟s, which became a sweet shop and then a house; a butcher‟s, which existed between 1850 and 1920; a shop and post office dating from the mid 18th century; a carpenter‟s shop, which existed for at least 300 years; grocers; dressmakers; blacksmiths, shoemakers and a school. The first school was built in Ickham in 1838, in School Lane, and had up to 100 pupils but it was closed in 1872 when the second school was built further along School Lane. The first school was then converted into 2 houses but is now a single house. The second school closed in 1949 and is now 2 houses. The only services that remain in Ickham now are the church, the pub and the village hall, which was built in 1912 by public subscription.

  • Place-Names and Early Settlement in Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society PLACE-NAMES AND EARLY SETTLEMENT IN KENT By P. H. REANEY, LITT.D., PH.D., F.S.A.1 APART from a few river-names like Medway and Limen and the names of such Romano-British towns as Rochester, Reculver and Richborough, the place-names of Kent are of English origin. What Celtic names survive are too few to throw any light on the history of Romano- British Kent. The followers and descendants of Hengest and Horsa gave names of their own to the places where they settled and the early settlement with which we are concerned is that which began with the coming of the Saxons in the middle of the fifth century A.D. The material for the history of this conquest is late and unsatisfac- tory, based entirely on legends and traditions. The earliest of our authorities, Gildas, writing a full century after the events, was concerned chiefly with castigating the Britons for their sins; names and dates were no concern of his. Bede was a writer of a different type, a historian on whom we can rely, but his Ecclesiastical History dates from about 730, nearly 300 years after the advent of the Saxons. He was a North- umbrian, too, and was careful to say that the story of Hengest was only a tradition, "what men say ". The problems of the Anglo-Saxon, Chronicle are too complicated to discuss in detail. It consists of a series of annals, with dates and brief lists of events.

  • Present: Cllr R Evison, Cllr R Whiting, Cllr A
    HACKINGTON PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES OF HACKINGTON PARISH ASSEMBLY HELD AT TYLER HILL MEMORIAL HALL AT 7.00pm ON THURSDAY 14th March 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Present: Cllr. R Evison (Chairman); Cllr. B. Fitter-Harding; Cllr. A. Cover; Cllr. T. Hulks; Cllr. N. Cronin and D Horswell (Clerk). Also present: Ward Cllr. G. Metcalfe; County Cllr. Robert Thomas and twenty two residents. Apologies for Absence: Ward Cllr. Amy Baker. The Chairman opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the Parish Assembly. An update was given by Paul Leary (KCC Highways Officer) on the traffic survey which had been carried out by KCC on Canterbury Hill. This had been conducted on 27th November 2018 and had recorded data on the stretch of the road from Calais Hill to Giles Lane. The average speed of the traffic had been found to be well within the 40mph speed limit, however, Members of the Parish Council pointed out that the rush hour traffic obviously skews the average speed. Residents had the opportunity, through the Chairman, to ask questions and voice their concerns to Paul. Suitable measures which would be allowable for traffic calming were discussed and KCC were asked for recommendations that could be put before the Parish Council for discussion. The problem of the narrowness of the footpath on Canterbury Hill and a suggestion of the hedges and vegetation being needed to be cut back and removed to allow for extra width for the safety of pedestrians was expressed. Paul is to take all the issues and suggestions by the Parish Council and residents back to KCC for implementation.
