  • The Lyminge Newsletter
    THE LYMINGE NEWSLETTER For the communities of LYMINGE, ETCHINGHILL, RHODES MINNIS and POSTLING Produced by THE LYMINGE ASSOCIATION April 2020 www.lyminge.org.uk From The Lyminge Association as accurate as possible when going to print - 23 March Trying to write a newsletter when there is so much going on in our lives it’s very difficult particularly when looking for the positives. We are certainly very lucky to live the living where we are in the countryside and with a very helpful and supportive community. As many of our community are going into self-isolation we are encouraged by the way others are willing and selflessly able to support them. However, now it’s not the time to forget the announcement you hear on planes “to put on your face mask before helping others“ which is very important in this current climate. Many of the events originally planned have been cancelled or suspended. The newsletter tries to reflect as accurately as possible the state of these particular events but I would recommend you check on their availability. On P4 and 9 you will find takeaway menus for both The Coach and Horses and The Gatekeeper. These, together with the other takeaways in our area, are to be applauded for providing a service; so please support them as best as you are able in order to maintain their business. On P17 you will find the details on how to maintain your health under the current circumstances. Needless to say these may have already been updated and I would encourage you to keep in touch with the government and NHS news releases.

  • How Lyminge Parish Church Acquired an Invented Dedication
    ANTIQUARIANS, VICTORIAN PARSONS AND RE-WRITING THE PAST: HOW LYMINGE PARISH CHURCH ACQUIRED AN INVENTED DEDICATION ROBERT BALDWIN For more than a century, the residents of Lyminge, on the North Downs in East Kent, have taken for granted that the parish church is dedicated to St Mary and St Ethelburga. Yet for many centuries before that, it was known as the church of St Mary and St Eadburg. The dedication to St Mary, the Virgin, is ancient and straightforward to explain, for it appears in the earliest of the surviving charters forLyminge dated probably to 697. 1 The second part of the dedication, whether this is correctly St Ethelburga or St Eadburg, is also likely to pre-date the Norman Conquest for both are clearly Anglo-Saxon names. But the uncertainty over the dedication invites investigation to understand who the patron saint actually is and the cause of the change, which is an unusual event by any standards. At first sight, St Ethelburga is apparently also easy to explain. Although there were a number of St Ethelburgas, the one traditionally connected with Lyminge was Queen LEthelburh2, daughter of LEthelberht I, King of Kent, and widow of Edwin, King of Northumbria. The story of her marriage to Edwin, his conversion to Christianity and the beginning of the conversion of Northumbria in the 620s was recorded by Bede, writing around a century later.3 AfterEdwin's death in battle in 633, Bede noted that LEthelburh returned to Kent where her brother Eadbald had become king. Other sources4 recounted that the king allowed his sister to retire to his estate at Lyminge where she established a 'minster'5 and subsequently died in 647.6 A dedication to St Ethelburga makes sense in the historical context ofLyminge.

Summary The district is rich in archaeological evidence beginning from the first occupations by early humans in Britain 800,000 years ago through to the twentieth century. The archaeological remains are in many forms such as ruins, standing monuments and buried archaeology and all attest to a distinctive Kentish history as well as its significant geographical position as a gateway to the continent. Through the district’s archaeology it is possible to track the evolution of Kent as well as the changing cultures, ideas, trade and movement of different peoples into and out of Britain. The District’s role in the defence of the country is also highlighted in its archaeology and forms an important part of the archaeological record for this part of the British southern coastline.

  • Saxon Monastery in Kent
    Uncovering an Anglo- Saxon Monastery in Kent Interim Report on University of Reading Excavations at Lyminge, 2008 Gabor Thomas 1 Landscapes of the Anglo-Saxon Conversion: University of Reading Excavations at Lyminge, Kent, 2008 The following presents provisional results of the inaugural year of open-area excavation by the University of Reading within the precincts of the Anglo-Saxon monastic site of Lyminge, Kent. This work forms part of a wider project entitled ‘Landscapes of Conversion: the Anglo-Saxon Church within the Kingdom of Kent’, which seeks to construct a comparative framework in which to interpret and contextualize the evidence garnered from Lyminge. Historical and archaeological background The historical context surrounding the Anglo-Saxon monastery of St Mary’s, Lyminge has received full treatment in the Project Design (Thomas 2005). Since the initiation of the excavations a critical analysis of the historical sources relating to Lyminge minster has appeared in print (Kelly 2006). Kelly’s detective work has shaken many of the ‘truths’ surrounding the foundation legend of Lyminge minster derived from the largely post-Conquest hagiographical tradition associated with the Kentish saint, Mildrith (Rollason 1982). It is from this source that Lyminge derives its association with its founding abbess, the historical figure, Æthelburh, widow of King Edwin of Northumbria and daughter of King Æthelberht I of Kent, and with her its foundation date of A.D. 633. Contrary to received wisdom, Kelly points out that a Christian site of this comparatively early date was more likely to have been non-monastic in character, perhaps taking the form of a royal mortuary chapel.

  • On a Roman Hypocaust Discovered at Folkestone in 1875
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 10 1876 ( 173 ) ON A ROMAN HYPOCATJST DISCOVERED AT FOLKESTONE, A.D. 1875. BY CANON R. 0. JENKINS, RECTOR OF LYMINGKE. IT will be within the recollection of those members of our Society who were at the meeting at Folkestone, that their attention was directed to the recent dis- covery of the foundations of a church or chapel, apparently of Romano-British origin, in a field adjoin- ing the Upper Station, at the eastern end of the town. These remains of early building, through the kind- ness of the proprietor (Mr. Major, of Folkestone), were left open for some time, and an opportunity was thus given for their fuller inspection. Unfortunately no ground-plan was taken, so that the only record of them is in the memories of those who saw them during the period of their exposure. Since then they have shared the fate which usually befals relics of antiquity in a rapidly increasing town. The founda- tion has been broken up, and removed for building purposes, and the ancient stones, covered with an almost imperishable concrete, will probably be hidden anew among the foundations of modern Folkestone. By many this early religious foundation was sup- posed to be that of the Chapel of St. Botolph, respecting which various records still exist; but it is difficult, without further evidence, to identify it, 174 ON A ROMAN HTPOOAUST though the character of the masonry, in which Roman "bricks of a large size were occasionally found as bonding courses, and the structure of the concrete, point to a very remote antiquity.
