  • Notes on the History of Saxon Otford
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 111 ) NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF SAXON OTFORD. BY E. G. BOX. THE Jutes landed in Kent about the year 440, and the Saxon history of the County came to an end in 1066. In these 600 years there were only six events in the history of Saxon Otford of which there is documentary evidence, in Saxon or early Norman chronicles, or in Saxon or mediaeval charters. My notes do not refer to other evidence which may exist. Place-name experts say that Kemsing on one side of Otford and Chevening on the other are names of Celtic origin. Celtic urns have been found near Sundridge; and Celtic coins near Sevenoaks. There were Roman settlements at Otford itself and elsewhere in the Darent Valley, and in the Holmesdale, and on the Upland, both to the east and west of Otford. The Pagan Saxons who settled on the south bank of the Thames had burying places by the Darent, but did not penetrate, it would seem, to Otford. The Saxon history of Otford is Christian, and begins with Offa King of Mercia in battle at Otford in 775, and his " terrible " slaughter of Kentish men whose names according to Kent historians were "enroUed in the register of Christians." Of the other five events in the history of Otford of which there is documentary evidence, one is the second battle of Otford of 1016, and the other four are grants of land to Christ Church, Canterbury, by Saxon Kings and a Saxon Priest.

CATALOGUE OF THE %mt grcfmeolofltcal &ocitt£& Collections at ifflafogtone. INTEODTTCTION. THE Museum of the Kent Archaeological Society was commenced in the year 1859, the Collection of Antiquities presented to the Society by the late "William Bland, Esq., of Hartlip, forming the nucleus of it. Since that time it has been enriched by donations from various gentlemen, whose names will be found mentioned in the Catalogue. The Society's researches and explorations, in the eastern portion of the county, have yielded a vast number of im- portant remains, all of which have been deposited in the Museum through the liberality of those on whose lands the objects were discovered. The British or Pre-Eoman period is represented by a magnificent series of gold armillse and torques in the highest state of preservation; also a small collection of early gold,coins. Among the remains of the Eomano-British period, special attention must be drawn to the fragments of a bronze statue found at Eichborough ; these have hitherto escaped observation. The intaglio from Eoches- ter is rare and curious, and the fragment of embossed glass from Hartlip is an interesting example of ancient art. A descriptive account of all these rarities is given in the Catalogue. The Anglo- Saxon period is thoroughly representative, and takes rank with the celebrated "Faussett" and "Gibbs" Collections, which are now, respectively, in the Liverpool aud South Kensington Museums.
