THE CHURCHILLIAN Churchill Society of Tennessee 2Nd Summer Edition 2020
THE CHURCHILLIAN Churchill Society of Tennessee 2nd Summer Edition 2020 Sir Winston Churchill’s Statue Parliament Square London This 12-foot-tall bronze statue of Churchill in Parliament Square was designed by Ivor Roberts- Jones. The statue was dedicated in 1972 by Churchill’s wife Lady Churchill at a ceremony attended by HRH Queen Elizabeth II and four Prime Ministers. The location of the statue was chosen by Churchill himself and was inspired by that now-famous photo of him inspecting the bomb-damaged Chamber of the Commons in Westminster on May 11, 1941.

Newsletter No. 84
KENT BEE-KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION County Newsletter No.S4 September 2016 Kent Beekeepers Associations Tent 2016 The beekeepers from the four associations in Kent (Dover, Kent, Medway and Thanet) came together to provide an exhibition showing how we keep bees and the range of the activities that covers. We aim to introduce the general public to bees and beekeeping and to explain some of the importance of bees to the economy and our diet. The stands inside the tent for the general public covered the products of pollination, examples of bee friendly plants, hive to jar covering where honey comes from and how the honey is extracted, candle making, Sheppey Honey Products (group that involves prisoners in beekeeping activities) and opportunities to purchase honey and wax products. Our two observation hives were, as ever, very busy. The Bumble Bee, Wasps and Hornets display always draws a lot of interest and we were again pleased to have the assistance of the Bumble Bee Trust volunteers. We aim to provide activities for all groups so include candle-rolling, badge-making and solitary bee house building primarily for young people but we found that people of all ages had a go. The beekeepers and potential beekeepers are not left out as our Education and Information stand was very busy. Outside the tent, we have two activities. Next to the entrance to the tent was our skep-making demonstration. In the fenced area at the end of the tent was the area used to run a series of "Uve bee demonstrations" during the day. All the demonstrators are from our local associations and Sheppey Honey Products and all the four demonstrations per day were very well attended.

Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.
