Much of the site has been considerably impacted upon by buildings associated with the Ditton Laboratory, and by the landscaping of the areas between these buildings. It is possible that sub-surface archaeological remains may have survived in the far eastern part of the site, which has not been significantly developed. If any archaeological mitigation is required, it may be appropriate for an archaeological watching brief to be carried out during groundworks in this area.

The school aims to provide a caring and enlightened environment in which the talents of each individual flourish.

Tonbridgians should enter into the adult world with the knowledge and self-belief to fulfil their own potential and to become leaders in their chosen field.

  • Tonbridge Castle and Its Lords

    Tonbridge Castle and Its Lords

    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 16 1886 TONBRIDGE OASTLE AND ITS LORDS. BY J. F. WADMORE, A.R.I.B.A. ALTHOUGH we may gain much, useful information from Lambard, Hasted, Furley, and others, who have written on this subject, yet I venture to think that there are historical points and features in connection with this building, and the remarkable mound within it, which will be found fresh and interesting. I propose therefore to give an account of the mound and castle, as far as may be from pre-historic times, in connection with the Lords of the Castle and its successive owners. THE MOUND. Some years since, Dr. Fleming, who then resided at the castle, discovered on the mound a coin of Con- stantine, minted at Treves. Few will be disposed to dispute the inference, that the mound existed pre- viously to the coins resting upon it. We must not, however, hastily assume that the mound is of Roman origin, either as regards date or construction. The numerous earthworks and camps which are even now to be found scattered over the British islands are mainly of pre-historic date, although some mounds may be considered Saxon, and others Danish. Many are even now familiarly spoken of as Caesar's or Vespa- sian's camps, like those at East Hampstead (Berks), Folkestone, Amesbury, and Bensbury at Wimbledon. Yet these are in no case to be confounded with Roman TONBEIDGHE CASTLE AND ITS LORDS. 13 camps, which in the times of the Consulate were always square, although under the Emperors both square and oblong shapes were used.* These British camps or burys are of all shapes and sizes, taking their form and configuration from the hill-tops on which they were generally placed.

  • River Medway: Medway Valley Walk

    River Medway: Medway Valley Walk

    AINA CASE STUDY HEALTH, WELL-BEING, RECREATION AND SPORT River Medway: Medway Valley Walk Access for all and a series of circular walks help open up the riverside paths The River Medway is the longest river and longest navigation in Kent and forms part of the Environment Agency’s Medway Region. Once used for commercial trade, the river between Maidstone and Tonbridge is now a public navigation, and the Medway Valley Walk provides riverbank access through the 'Garden of England'. Using existing rights of ways, five shorter circular walks also link directly to the riverside. The Medway Valley Countryside Partnership, comprising Kent County Council, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, Maidstone Borough Council and the Environment Agency, works to encourage more people to enjoy and explore the 18 mile walk and its local countryside. Typical improvements have included widening the path, installing bridge ramps and removing stiles. Surfacing work to enable greater access for all has been undertaken in key areas on the edge of towns or villages. The partnership also secured £204,000 from partners and EU Interreg which allowed bank restoration by specialist contractors, installation of disabled fishing platforms and a large number of smaller access improvements. Local volunteers help the partnership too, and their work includes path clearance and installation of handrails. Relatively inexpensive, the collective result along the path has a great benefit for accessibility and enjoyment of the riverside. The Riverside Communities Project - funded by the Heritage Lottery, Ernest Cook Trust and the Bernard Sunley Charitable Foundation – developed as 2½ year project (2006-09) which engaged local people with their river in a programme of events, school workshops and interpretative work.
