Starters for Study 1June An Information sheet to support the use of the British Pathe Film “SHORTEST RAILWAY” The Search Term used to find this clip on http://www.britishpathe.com/ is “Wingham” British Pathe Films are free for use in Schools connected to the Kent Community Network Starters for Study 1 - “The Shortest Railway” his film was shot on The East Kent Railway (EKR) in 1938. The EKR opened in 1912 to link the collieries to the main line at Shepherdswell and to the sea at Port Richborough. TCoal was the main traffic and passengers were not given much luxury. Teachers can use the still photographs with the class to study the make up of the train. According to the sound track there were only two each day! The area had very bad roads and so many of the essential supplies would have come in by train. Passenger services only began in October 1916, the first service being from Shepherdswell to Wingham Colliery. By 1925 © British Pathe there were passenger services to Canterbury Road (Outside Wingham) and to Sandwich Road (On the Richborough branch). A map of the whole East Kent Railway can be viewed at: http://www.staple-online.co.uk/page6.html The station featured in the film is Wingham and the platform is certainly short. Compare it to the platform at Staple on the same line shown at http://www.staple-online.co.uk/page23.html Pupils might also be interested in the ticket from Staple to Wingham on the same site. Level Crossings were a relatively common feature and the one shown in the film should provoke some discussion about safety! Links to the Collieries of East Kent and Mining are shown on another sheet in this series called “Digging for Coal”.

  • A History of Ash and Its Churches
    A History of Ash and its Churches The present parish of Ash, more than 7,000 acres in extent and one of the largest in Kent, was once only a part of the great manor of Wingham. Originally a royal manor, Wingham was given by King Athelstan of Kent to the See of Canterbury about 850 : it covered the present parishes of Ash, Goodnestone, Nonington, Wingham and parts of Staple and Womenswold. In a list of churches probably made in 1071, in which 'Aesce' is said to belong to Wingham, mention is also made of an apparently more important church 'de Raette', as well as one at 'Fleota' belonging to the manor of Folkestone. If, as seems likely, 'de Raette' refers to Richborough, this is the only record of that church; but the chapel of Fleet, actually within the 3rd century Roman walls of Richborough Castle, continued in use until the 16th century. Leland in the time of Henry VIII wrote that 'withyn the castel is a lytle paroche Chirch of S. Augustine'. It was believed that when St. Augustine first stepped ashore in England in 597 the impression of his foot was miraculously left upon a stone. This relic was afterwards kept in this chapel dedicated to him, and pilgrims flocked there upon the anniversary of the landing to pray and to recover their health. Excavations have uncovered the ground plan of the chapel, and confirm that it was pre-Norman in origin. Excavations in the northwest comer of the Roman fort have also, revealed the foundations and font of an even earlier church of c.400, one of the earliest Christian structures known in Britain.

  • Notes on Roman Roads in East Kent Margary
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society NOTES ON ROMAN ROADS IN EAST KENT By IvAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE Roman roads of East Kent are generally so obvious and well known that no further description of them seems necessary. There are, however, a few points at which the line is doubtful or where topographical problems admit of some discussion, and it is in considera- tion of these that the following notes are offered. They are based upon field observation made during a visit of some days to the district in June, 1947. STONE STREET—LYMPNE TO CANTERBURY The very striking directness of this road makes it clear that its purpose was to link Canterbury with the Roman port at Lympne. This was probably situated below the old cliffs, near the hamlet of West Hythe, to which access is given by a convenient combo in the cliffs at that point from Shipway Cross above. The Saxon Shore fort at Stutfall Castle was, of course, a late Roman construction, much later than Stone Street, and was probably connected to West Hythe by a spur road below the cliffs, for access to it from Lympne, directly above, would have been awkward. It is to Shipway Cross and the head of the combe that the main alignment of Stone Street is exactly directed. Although it has now disappeared between the Cross and New Inn Green, there are distinct traces of its scattered stone metalling in the field to the south of the Green, while portions of hedgerows and a footpath mark some parts of its course there.

Canterbury Diocese 5. Dover Deanery 2 1. The religious and spiritual challenges in the 21st century It is challenging for a religious culture to provide the immediate gratification and answers of technology so embedded in today’s world. Equally the pace of life and often financial pressures place demands on busy family life. In common with many congregations we want to expand the number of families and young people in our churches. In order for our churches to become sustainable worshipping communities that effectively take mission into the local area we need to look at ourselves and identify what we do well and what we are not achieving and why. We need to listen to God, celebrate what is good and play our part in enriching communities. We therefore would welcome the leadership, inspiration and support of a priest to enable and encourage us on this journey. 2. Our new priest We are looking for a part-time stipendiary priest (0.2FTE; Sunday plus 2 days) who will: Grow and enable mission and ministry within the communities of Temple Ewell and Lydden Have a deep commitment to pastoral care Have a vision for mission and outreach Be a visible, compassionate and sensitive presence in the communities Be an effective

  • William Stukeley's Kentish Studies of Roman and Other Remains
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society WILLIAM STUKELEY'S KENTISH STUDIES OF ROMAN AND OTHER REMAINS PAUL ASHBEE William Stukeley (1687-1765) was a pioneer unmatched in the hist- ory of archaeology, noted for his work on Stonehenge and Avebury, as well as his obsession with the Druids. It is not generally apprec- iated that he made major excursions into Kent and that in his pub- lished works, and many surviving papers, there are details of the prin- cipal Prehistoric, Roman and Mediaeval monuments of the County, as seen by him during the earlier years of the eighteenth century. Furthermore, his closest friends were John Gray, the Canterbury physician, and, from about 1721, Lord Winchelsea, of Eastwell Park. Two members of his antiquarian circle, Sir John Elwill and Sir Samuel Lennard, resided at Beckenham and West Wickham respect- ively, while another, Hercules Ayleway, wrote from 'Merriworth Castle'. Stukeley (Plate I) studied medicine at Cambridge and later in London, at St Thomas's Hospital. He spent seven years in practice in his native Lincolnshire, at Boston, returning to London in 1717. His countryside tours and antiquarian interests, led to the detailed appreciations of Stonehenge and Avebury, their supportive land- scapes and allied monuments, made between 1718 and 1724, for which he is justly famous. In 1717 he became the first Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of London and wrote in the Minute-Book that 'Without drawing or designing the study of Antiquities or any other science is lame and imperfect'.

For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In this datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.
