There’s lots more going on and you can find out about it all on our website www.gkchurch.org.uk 3 FROM THE VICAR Dear Friends I’m sure that many of you were amongst the 250 local people who were at the Village Hall on the 10th September to hear about the proposed process for developing a Neighbourhood Plan. If you were you’ll know what it’s all about. If not, in brief, a Neighbourhood Plan brings the hopes of the community, especially around important shared issues like housing, transport and shops, into a single plan, which carries significant weight with the Local Authority when they come to make decisions about our villages. One of the main reasons why villages decide to work on a Neighbourhood Plan - and the guy who spoke at the meeting was clear that it does involve a lot of work - is to control the location and amount of new house building. That is obviously important, especially in an area like ours, which is so blessed with natural and historical beauty. But that shouldn’t be the only reason for us to embark on work like this. I have been thinking about the opportunities that are before us now - opportunities that could take us beyond a process that’s just about where houses can and cannot be built, to something much more exciting. The first opportunity is for people to get together across Goudhurst, Kilndown and Curtisden Green and to talk about the things that we all care about. It is almost always good to talk - especially to people that we wouldn’t otherwise spend time with. We might find new ideas emerging from our conversations. And we might find that these conversations lead to other conversations, and that new friendships start to emerge, and we all know that in the end it is the quality of friendships and relationships that determines the quality of a community’s life. Secondly, we could use this process to help us engage with people that we would never otherwise have talked to - people from parts of the community that we don’t normally come into contact with; people who are different to us; people who are much younger than us or much older than us. And then we would inevitably see the world from a different perspective - and that’s always a good thing for us to do. And if we were really brave, we might choose to take another opportunity and to think about some of the bigger issues that we could address together. Traffic and housing are really important, and this plan will have to address them, but how about the other issues we could look at - things like how we lower our impact on the environment, and how we build friendships between different parts of the community, how we support those who are lonely or isolated, and how we build a community which is connected across the generations. Our villages are already wonderful places to live - full of beauty and community spirit. What an opportunity we have now to make them even better. Not just for ourselves, but for those we don’t know yet, and for those who don’t normally say much in these processes. My prayer for our communities at the moment is that we will embrace this opportunity and that we will be bold. God bless Rev Hugh 4 COMMEMORATING THE FALLEN OF THE GREAT WAR OCTOBER 1916 All parishioners are invited to attend brief formal ceremonies in October commemorating local soldiers on the centenary of their death. These will take place at Goudhurst war memorial at 4pm on Wednesday 5th, Friday 7th and Friday 14th October. 5th October 1916: Frederick Leonard Harry Hammond, aged 20. Private G/15608, 7th Battalion, The Buffs (East Kent Regiment). One of ten children, he was born and brought up in Goudhurst, and worked on a farm at Spelmonden before enlisting. He joined his battalion after it had suffered significant losses on the Somme in July 1916. On its return to the front line in the same sector at the end of September, it was involved in a week of ferocious attacks on a German strongpoint near Thiepval. Frederick Hammond was counted among the “Missing” from this period, and he is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. 7th October 1916: James Luck, aged 40. Private G/9810, 6th Battalion, The Buffs (East Kent Regiment). The eldest of 13 children, he was born and brought up in Goudhurst, and worked for many local farmers and builders, as well as in Surrey, before enlisting in a home service battalion of the Buffs in October 1914. However, he was posted to the 6th Buffs in France in July 1916, joining them initially in frontline action on the Somme. After several weeks’ rest, they returned to the Somme, only to be massacred on 7th October in a frontal attack at Gueudecourt. James Luck was counted among the “Missing” in this attack, and he is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. 7th October 1916: Percy Eustace Penfold, aged 21. Lance-Corporal G/6338, 6th Battalion, The Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Regiment. Born and brought up in Beresford Road, Goudhurst. He joined his battalion near Loos only two months after his older brother Herbert had been declared “Missing” from the battle there in October 1915. The battalion eventually moved to the Somme, and suffered 60% casualties in an attack at Ovillers on 3rd July. After further attacks in August and then several weeks’ rest, it took part in the same attack as James Luck. This time, another 60% casualty list included Percy Penfold among the “Missing”. He is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. 14th October 1916: William Henry Vousden, aged 20. Private G/8550, 6th Battalion, The Buffs (East Kent Regiment). Born and brought up in Goudhurst, he was one of the eight boys who made up the village’s first Scout Troop in 1910. He worked as a gardener before enlisting in November 1915, but was not posted to France until July 1916, joining the same battalion as James Luck but one week later. William Vousden was wounded in the attack at Gueudecourt and taken back to a Casualty Clearing Station for treatment, but he died of gangrene a week later. He is buried in Heilly Station Cemetery. 5 CALENDAR Please note - re: 8.00 am Communion Service in St Mary’s – order two from the Book of Common Worship, Traditional Language is used.

    A UNIQUE ONE BEDROOM DETACHED PROPERTY IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE OF LAMBERHURST town hill lodge, town hill, lamberhurst, kent tn3 8el Sitting room w kitchen w shower room w galleried bedroom lawned garden terrace w off-road parking Description Town Hill Lodge is a newly-converted property occupying a prominent site in the delightful Kentish village of Lamberhurst. A dramatic arched window floods the sitting room with light and the galleried bedroom, whose balcony overlooks the room below, creates a wonderful feeling of openness and space. With the kitchen and bathroom to the rear of the ground floor, a raised and lawned terrace to the side, and the benefit of off-street parking, this charming one bedroom lodge is a unique proposition. With two convenient road routes to Tunbridge Wells, a choice of stations serving London within five miles and the beautiful countryside of Kent and East Sussex on the doorstep, Town Hill Lodge will be a delightful full-time home or would be ideal as a weekend retreat or weekday pied-à-terre, a ‘lock up and leave’ local base, or a holiday/investment rental. Situation Town Hill Lodge is situated on Town Hill, close to the heart of the popular village of Lamberhurst, with its general store and well-regarded public houses. Wadhurst, some 4 miles away, offers more extensive amenities including supermarkets, post office, independent shops, bakery and butcher. Tunbridge Wells (about 7 miles) offers high street shopping, supermarkets, theatres and restaurants. Bewl Water and Bedgebury Forest are close by and offer a wide range of outdoor activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, water sports and fishing.

  • The Old Dutch Barn Tong Road | Brenchley | Tonbridge | TN12
    The Old Dutch Barn LAND AND Tong Road | Brenchley | Tonbridge | TN12 7HT NEW HOMES Developers Insight Situated in the heart of the glorious Kent countryside, not far from the picturesque village of Brenchley is The Old Dutch Barn, a very stylish contemporary family home that blends beautifully with its spectacular rural surroundings. The property sits on around one-and-a-half acres of rolling land and is surrounded by apple orchards for as far as the eye can see, so it’s an idyllic location, but at the same time, within a matter of minutes you can be in either Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells, both of which have all of the shops and amenities you could possibly wish for. It’s a location that offers the best of both.” “The building has been clad with rustic timbers, so it has the look of a period barn conversion and therefore melds beautifully with it’s surroundings, but internally it has the layout, look and feel of a much more contemporary home, so it’s perfect for modern family living. An array of gorgeous natural materials have been used, lots of glass to bring in light and enhance the feeling of space, and a neutral colour palette to create a blank canvass for the barn’s new owners. The building was initially completely stripped back we’ve been able to incorporate a wealth of modern technology such as under-floor heating, a Sonos sound system and an intercom system that is operated via a smart phone. The design of the house and each of these extra elements combine to make it a very comfortable family home.” “The barn sits on an old apple orchard, which was cleared, dug over and then re- seeded.” “Outside the sliding doors that lead from the kitchen lead to a huge patio, the rest of the grounds are laid to grass, so again they are a bit of a blank canvass.

The basic underlying geological structure of the Local Character Area is of Tunbridge Wells Sandstone forming high ridges, with Wadhurst Clay and localised thin belts of alluvium deposits in the valleys. A higher proportion of Wadhurst Clay and Ashdown Beds occur to the north and north-east of the area within the network of tributary valleys of the Teise. The three tributaries of the River Teise, the largest of which is the River Bewl, flow in a general south to north direction through the area and have a great influence on its character.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.

  • 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.
