  • 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.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

  • The Lists of Saxon Churches in the Domesday Monachorum, and White Book of St
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 60 ) THE LISTS OF SAXON CHURCHES IN THE DOMESDAY MONACHORUM, AND WHITE BOOK OF ST. AUGUSTINE. BY GORDON WARD, M.D., F.S.A. THE Domesday Monachorum is an ancient manuscript book preserved in the Chapter Library at Canterbury. It has recently been pubhshed in the third volume of the V.C.H. of Kent but with little editing or discussion. It commences with a list of churches and of the dues which they paid to the Archbishop at Easter. This is foUowed by a second hst from which it is seen that certain churches had others grouped under them in the manner of rural deaneries. The third hst contains only a few names and contains a statement of the dues paid " before the coming of Lord Lanfranc the Archbishop ". At the end of this last is a sentence to the effect that " what is before written " was ordained and instituted by Lanfranc. This can hardly refer to the dues before his coming (although it has actually been read in this sense) and so must apply to the first two lists. It foUows that these hsts were compiled in the time of Lanfranc (1070- 1089). But we can go further than this. The second hst includes the churches subordinate to MUton Regis and Newington by Sittingbourne. These are stated to have been given by the Conqueror to the Abbey of St. Augustine in 1070 (Reg. Regum Anglo-Norm. 35, 39).

    Long Barn Church Hill | Elmstone | Canterbury | CT3 1HN Seller Insight “We have built this property to the very highest standard and considered every detail of design to make the most of the surroundings. It is very tranquil and the garden is not overlooked so is very private. At the same time it is a real blank canvas and ready for new owners to really make it their own. We felt the location was ideal because, while it has all the benefits of the countryside it is on the edge of a friendly village with its historic church and not far from Stourmouth with the Rising Sun pub where you can enjoy a meal or sit around the comfortable lounge and roaring fire on a cold winter’s day or the Half Moon and Seven Sisters in nearby Preston that also includes a village shop and a butcher. Wingham is not far away with its local shops and pubs and there is also the excellent Gibsons farm and coffee shop for delicious local produce. The historic city of Canterbury with its high street stores, individual shops, bars and restaurants is less than 10 miles away while the medieval Cinque port town of Sandwich is even closer with its mooring facilities, individual shops and eateries as well as the championship golf courses of Royal St George’s and Princes. There is a good primary school in the village and excellent state and private secondary schools in Sandwich and Canterbury.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
