Chartham Parish Council Page 026 2018/2019 CHARTHAM PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD AT 7.30 P.M. ON TUESDAY 11th SEPTEMBER 2018 AT THE VILLAGE HALL, STATION ROAD, CHARTHAM, NR CANTERBURY, KENT, CT4 7JA. Present: Cllr. C. Manning – Chairman Cllr. S. Hatcher – Vice Chairman Cllr. S. Dungay Cllr. A. Frost Cllr. P. Coles Cllr. T. Clark Cllr. D. Butcher Cllr. G. Hoare Cllr. R. Mallet (from 8pm) Cllr. R. Thomas CCC Cllr. R. Doyle CCC Miss C. Sparkes (Clerk) 5 Members of the Public (1) Chairman’s Opening Remarks and Apologises for Absence: The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked for apologies for absence. Cllr Mallet apologised in advance for attending the meeting late due to work commitments. (2) Confirmation of previous Minutes of the last meeting held 10th July 2018: Cllr Coles proposed and Cllr Clark seconded, and all councillors voted in favour, that the Minutes of the parish council meeting held on 10th July 2018 (previously circulated) be accepted as a true record of the meeting and the Chairman duly signed them. (3) Council: a) Declaration of any councillor’s interest in agenda items. None Declaration of Disclosable Pecuniary Interests and Other Significant Interests and Voluntary Announcements of Other Interests, and a reminder to think of any changes to the DPI Register held at CCC, such as a change of job or home. No change to any councillors DPI Register details. (4) Parish Councillor Vacancy: A secret ballot was held to determine the successful candidate for the role of Parish Councillor. Alan Hopkins was voted the successful candidate with four votes compared to three and two votes respectively for the other two candidates. Cllr Manning reported that Cllr Wells has resigned from the Parish Council due to personal commitments as she will be moving out of the area shortly. Cllr Wells currently represents Chartham Hatch and Cllr Manning suggested that another representative from the main village of Chartham be appointed to fill the vacancy as the village is expanding. This would ensure proportional representation in terms of population in the key areas of the parish. Cllr Hatcher agreed to seek Chartham Hatch residents’ views on whether they wish to continue to have two representatives. The Clerk agreed to speak with Canterbury City Council to check whether further advertisement of the role of Parish Councillor is necessary following the recent advertisement of another post. (5) Matters Arising from the Minutes: Cllr Manning reported that the tree in Bakers Wood overhanging neighbouring properties has now been cut back. CPC Parish Council Minutes – September 2018 1 Page 027 2018/2019 Cllr Manning reported that she is in the process of identifying lamppost numbers to seek permission from Kent County Council to install four signs directing road users to the relocated post office. Cllr Manning reported that the bin on the Memorial Field is still taped up, despite correspondence with Serco. Cllr Thomas reported that the review of bins in rural areas is due to be undertaken shortly and he will raise this matter with the review coordinator. (6) To Receive and Consider ‘CORRESPONDENCE’: The Clerk reported that Kent County Council (KCC) are holding a Kent Household Waste Recycling Centre Consultation on their proposals to charge for soil, rubble, hardcore and plasterboard. KCC has never been obligated to accept these items free of charge, as there is no statutory requirement to accept non-household waste, but it is appreciated that from time to time Kent residents may need to dispose of these items so KCC would like to continue to offer this service. As the number of residents in Kent is increasing and neighbouring Councils are imposing charges or restricting services, it is likely that the cost to Kent will increase. KCC believes this option will reduce the cost to Kent taxpayers of disposing of waste from ‘cross border’ users and help protect the service. The Clerk agreed to distribute details after the meeting for councillors to consider. (7) Financial Matters, including ‘Authorisation of Accounts’: Schedule of Payments - A resolution that orders for payment as shown in attached schedule was agreed unanimously. The cheques were signed by Cllr Dungay and Cllr Coles. The Clerk reported that she met with Burgess Hodgson for the end of quarter reconciliation but it was discovered that the previous back up (up to the end of year) was missing from the laptop, presumed lost following preparation for the annual return. A copy of the back-up is on file and Burgess Hodgson are seeing whether this can be uploaded and the recent data for the first end of quarter kept. If not, this information will need to be entered again. The Clerk is chasing for an update. The Clerk agreed to write a letter to the Early Years Project to confirm that the Parish Council would be happy to send a donation, in addition to the two summer sessions, on the condition that the donation be solely spent on the sessions at Chartham. (8) Planning Applications and Tree Works: The Clerk reported that there were ‘9’ new Planning Applications since the previous meeting: CA//18/01460/FUL - Location: Land East of Cockering Road, Chartham, CT4 7PT - Proposal: Proposed two semi-detached and one detached two-storey dwelling houses, car port building, creation of a parking area, formation of vehicular access and hard and soft landscaping.

  • The Population of Chartham from 1086 to 1600

LANGR1DGE The subject of this paper is the population of an east Kent rural community from 1086 to 1600. Much recent work has emphasised the importance of demographic trends in the economic and social history of the medieval period. It has been argued that very considerable population expansion took place in rural society between the eleventh century and c. 1300.' Much of the change in rural society in the later Middle Ages has been linked to major demographic decline. Some historians argue that this decline set in with a subsistence crisis in the first quarter of the fourteenth century! Others date the downturn in the demographic trend from the first visitation of bubonic plague in 1348-49.3 A consensus of opinion is also absent with regard to the date of the upturn in population at the end of the Middle Ages. Estate and regional studies published in recent decades have reflected the increased emphasis on demographic change, but no systematic attempt has yet been made to investigate the popula- tion of a medieval community in Kent.' The kinds of evidence and the methods utilised in demographic studies have varied considerably. A number of studies have concen- trated on mortality figures, while others have attempted to derive generation replacement rates from a combination of birth and death See particularly the work of M. M. Postan, most recently in The Medieval Economy and Society (1978), 30-44.

  • Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments
    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.

  • The Kent Yeoman in the Seventeenth Century
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE KENT YEOMAN IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY JACQUELINE BOWER Mildred Campbell, in the only detailed work so far published on the yeomanry, concluded that the yeoman class emerged in the fifteenth century.1 The yeomen were the free tenants of the manor, usually identified with freeholders of land worth 40s. a year, the medieval franklins. The Black Death of 1348 may have hastened the emergence of the yeomanry. The plague may have killed between one-third and one-half of the total population of England, a loss from which the population did not recover until the second half of the sixteenth century. Landowners were left with vacant farms because tenants had died and no one was willing to take on tenancies or buy land at the high rents and prices common before the Black Death. In a buyer's market, it became impossible for landlords to enforce all the feudal services previously exacted. Land prices fell, and peasant farming families which survived the Black Death and which had a little capital were able, over several generations, to accumulate sizeable estates largely free of labour services. It is taken for granted that yeomen were concerned with agriculture, men who would later come to be described as farmers, ranking between gentry and husbandmen, of some substance and standing in their communities. However, a re-examination of contemporary usages suggests that there was always some uncertainty as to what a yeoman was. William Harrison, describing English social structure in 1577, said that yeomen possessed 'a certain pre-eminence and more estimation' among the common people.

  • No Man's Orchard
    NO MAN’S ORCHARD Orchards - traditional and modern Traditional orchards with old fruit trees are rapidly disappearing in The name “No Man’s” was traditionally given to land that straddled Kent. They are less profitable than modern commercial orchards, more than one parish – no one man’s land. At No Man’s Orchard but nevertheless they provide important habitats for wildlife. The this is supported by the fact that the parish boundary of Chartham trees have very large spreading crowns and are far taller than in and Harbledown runs across the centre of the site.The orchard was modern commercial orchards, which have been specially cultivated purchased by Chartham and Harbledown Parish Councils in 1996. for ease of picking.

  • Charlton Park History Pamphlet Revised 2017 12 10 2015. Word[2]
    CHARLTON PARK BISHOPSBOURNE HISTORY OF THE LAND, THE HOUSE AND THE PEOPLE Jack Wales 2016 1 Bishopsbourne is a peaceful, out-of-the-way place, where nothing much happens for decades at a time. The ancient Charlton estate that forms the eastern part of the parish is even more obscure. Occasionally, some things of interest - or some people of interest - turn up unexpectedly. 1. Caesar's Battle with the Britons 54 BC On his second invasion of 54 BC, Caesar landed ( as in 55 BC ) at Deal, having decided that Dover harbour, which was further up the Dour estuary than now , was too well defended. After a night march of 12 Roman miles ( 11 statute miles ) he was attacked by the Britons from higher ground to the north-east of Bridge on the morning of 8th July. They used their chariots and cavalry effectively, but were easily defeated by superior Roman infantry and cavalry. Caesar writes clearly ( if briefly ) of this encounter in “The Conquest of Gaul”. He says the Britons advanced to a river ( he uses the word “flumen” which means any watercourse; it does not imply the English distinction between “river” and “stream” ) - clearly the Little Stour - and then attacked him from higher ground. This is an obvious tactic for them, as it would give scope for deploying their chariots. Barham down was relatively open ground at that time; pollen evidence shows that much of the woodland on the Downs between Bridge and Wingham had been cleared during the Bronze Age. After defeating them, Caesar conducted mopping-up operations as they hid in the woods at a well-defended point ( possibly in the vicinity of Old England's Hole on Bridge Hill, or an unidentified location ).

  • Or Anglo-Saxon, Cemetery at Stowting Had Not, I Believe
    XXI.—An Account of Researches in an Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Stowting, in Kent, during the Autumn of 1866. By JOHN BKENT, Esq., F.S.A., Local Secretary for Kent. Eead January 10th, 1867. The " Old English," or Anglo-Saxon, Cemetery at Stowting had not, I believe, been systematically explored until the close of the year 1866; yet its existence was rendered probable by the discovery of antiquities about twenty-two years since, when the road abutting on the ground was lowered by the parish authorities. A full account was given in a Paper communicated to the Archseologia, vol. xxxi. by Mr. C. Roach Smith, of the relics then accidentally exhumed, and the Rev. Frederick Wrench, Rector of Stowting, gave a further account of the same, in a little work he published in 1845. About thirty skeletons were said to have been found, and amongst remains interesting to the antiquary were several swords of the usual type, beads of glass, clay, and amber, umbones, iron spear- heads, bronze buckles, knives, pottery, and three or four fibulae. Several of these objects are in the cabinet of Mr. "Wrench; others having passed into unknown hands have been dispersed, and probably for the most part are now lost. Amongst them there was, I understand, a fine silver brooch, set with coloured stones or glass. Three or four circular fibulae are contained in Mr. Wrench's collection, of the usual patterns : one is a large and elegant specimen. Also, a silver wire ring or ear-ring, bronze buckles and tags, Roman coins, and a small piece of money plated with gold.
