  • St Barnabas St Marys Profiles
    WELCOME TO THE PARISHES OF ST BARNABAS & ST MARY MAGDALENE, GILLINGHAM Contents Welcome & overview Page 2 St Barnabas parish profile Page 5 St Mary’s parish profile Page 19 1 WELCOME & OVERVIEW The Bishop of Rochester is seeking to appoint a Priest-in-Charge who will serve half time in the parish of St Barnabas and half time in the parish of St Mary Magdalene, both in Gillingham, Kent. The two parishes are adjacent to one another and cover a total population of approximately 25,000 people. As well as being geographically close together, they are demographically similar, and the two worshipping communities share a similar churchmanship. As well as developing the existing worshipping community life of the two churches, there is significant scope for the right candidate to work creatively across both parishes in a variety of areas, including discipleship; youth, children and schools work; ministry among vulnerable communities (such as the homeless); work with those in residential care home settings. St Mary’s parish has a large team of Lay ministers who, along with other members of both congregations, are willing to work across parish boundaries to enable the whole area to flourish. The neighbouring parish of St Augustine’s, Gillingham – another church in a similar tradition – has a full time Priest-in-charge and SSM curate and is also keen to explore working with the parishes of St Barnabas and St Mary’s. A project has recently begun to seek funding for a Community Missioner who would work across all three parishes, as well as the parish of St Mark’s in Gillingham Town Centre.

National Arc F Kent Archives Offic Ch 46 Watts Charity MSS., 1579-1972 Deposited by Mr. Chinnery, Clerk to the Charity, Rochester, 1st May 1974, and 5th February, 1976 Catalogued by Alison Revell, June 1978 INTRODUCTION For information concerning the establishment of Watts's Charity, under Richard Watts of Rochester's will, in 1579 and its subsequent history, The Report of Commissioners for Inquiring Concerning Charities - Kent, 1815-39 Pp. 504-9, provides most of the basic facts. Other Rochester Charities are dealt with in the same Report (see pages 55-57, and 500-513). The Report also deals with various early legal cases concerning the Charity, and the uses to which its funds should be put, most notably the cases of the parishes of St. Margaret 's Rochester, and Strood, against the parishioners of St. Nicholas in 1680, and of the parishioners of Chatham against the Trustees of the Charity in 1808 (see L1-4B in this catalogue). The original will of Richard Watts, drawn up in 1579 and proved in the following year in the Consistory Court of Rochester, is kept in this Office under the catalogue mark, DRb PW12 (1579), with a registered copy in the volume of registered wills, DRb PWr 16 (ffl05-107). A copy is also catalogued in this collection as Ch46 L1A. Further Watts Charity material is found in the Dean and Chapter of Rochester MSS, under the KAO catalogue number, DRc Cl/1-65, and consists mainly of accounts of the Providers of the Poor of Rochester, between the years 1699 and 1819.

  • Time and Tides - the Project
    Evaluation Report Contents 1. Introduction 2. Aims and achievements 3. Quantitative Monitoring Summary 4. Qualitative Feedback 5. Project Profile and Publicity 6. Lessons Learned 7. Future opportunities 1. Time and Tides - The project The Time and Tides project was a local history and community arts project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Medway Council. It was designed to explore the local history, traditions and cultural customs of rural Medway with particular focus on the villages of Cuxton, High Halstow and Upnor, while providing local history learning and arts opportunities for people in the process. The project ran for one year from November 2011 until November 2012. The project was extremely popular, with over 1700 people engaging in the project in some way, including primary school children, teenagers, people of working age and older people. Levels of engagement ranged from people with a strong and existing interest in local history to those who had never taken part in heritage events before. Some people became core volunteers to the project, others enjoyed attending events and made a conscious effort to attend while others engaged on a more casual basis, dropping into occasional sessions or coming across an event or exhibition simply by chance. The Medway Area Medway is divided into the heavily populated towns of Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Strood and the rural areas to the North and South of these towns. The three villages of High Halstow, Cuxton and Upnor are situated on the Medway Peninsula, a particularly rurally isolated area with little agriculture or industry covering two thirds of the Medway geographical area.
