Page 037 2019/2020 CHARTHAM PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD AT 7.30 P.M. ON TUESDAY 10th SEPTEMBER 2019 AT THE VILLAGE HALL, STATION ROAD, CHARTHAM, NR CANTERBURY, KENT, CT4 7JA. Present: Cllr. S. Hatcher – Chairman Cllr. T Clark – Vice Chairman Cllr. A. Hopkins Cllr. C. Manning Cllr. L Pearce Cllr. G. Hoare (until 9.35pm) Cllr. L Root Cllr. P Coles Cllr. S. Dungay (from 7.45pm) Cllr. R. Thomas CCC/KCC Cllr. M. Jones-Roberts CCC (until 9.45pm) Mrs C. Howard-Sparkes (Clerk) 3 Members of the Public (1) Chairman’s Opening Remarks and Apologies for Absence The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked for apologies for absence. These were recorded and accepted as Cllr. C. Swire (Holiday) and Cllr. R Mallett (Work Commitments). Apologies for lateness was also received and accepted from Cllr. S. Dungay. (2) Confirmation of previous Minutes of the last meeting held on 09th July 2019 and Extraordinary Meeting held on 09th August 019 Cllr Coles proposed and Cllr Root seconded, and all councillors voted in favour, that the Minutes of the parish council meeting held on 09th July 2019 and extraordinary meeting held on 09th August 2019 (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 Cllr Hopkins declared an interest in Item 13 as a family member has submitted a quotation for consideration. 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) Matters Arising from the Minutes Item 11 – The Clerk reported that the drainage works on the Memorial Field have been delayed due to problems with the sub-contractor and staffing levels at this time of year. The materials that were partially blocking the entrance to the Memorial Field were moved and the initial drainage runs filled in to allow the field to be fully accessible for the Village Fete on 01st September 2019. The sub-contractors have recommenced work but no anticipated finish date has been given. Item 12 – Cllr Manning reported that the Village Fete raised over £4,000, with some sponsorship money still to be received. The event was very well supported, helped by the good weather, and the Fete Committee will be meeting in the next few months to agree recipients for funding. The event also received a good write-up in the local paper, although there were some inaccuracies with dates, etc. CPC Parish Council Minutes –September 2019 1 Page 025 2019/2020 Cllr Manning wished to thank the Parish Council for its donation to offset running costs on behalf of the Committee to maximise the amount of money being donated to local good causes. Cllr Hatcher wished to thank Cllr Manning and the Fete Committee for all their hard work in arranging and running the fete. (5) To Receive and Consider ‘CORRESPONDENCE’: (i) The Clerk reported that the Parish Council has until 22 September 2020 to become compliant with the recent Web Accessibility Regulations. The purpose of the regulations is to improve the accessibility of public sector websites/mobile apps so that they can be used by as many people as possible. They build on existing obligations to disabled people under the Equality Act 2010 and the duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. The Clerk reported that she can make a number of adjustments herself, for example uploading all documents as PDFs rather than Word documents as PDFs can be accessed by screen readers that can turn text into speech. However, the current website is not compliant and EiS (who host the website) will be making the necessary changes in time for the deadline. However, as the changes required to meet these regulations are extensive, it is expected that parish councils will be required to pay for the ongoing use of the new websites. KALC will be meeting with EiS in due course to discuss possible fees and other providers and will report back in due course. (ii) The Clerk reported that a resident in St Augustine’s has requested additional salt bins at the top of the estate, for example at the top of Magnolia Drive and Updown Way. The Clerk suggested that she liaise with the resident to find out how many bins are required and investigate possible installation costs. It may also be the responsibility of the Parish Council to ensure the salt bins are filled up when required and the Clerk agreed to investigate this further. The resident also requested that the Parish Council liaise with South East Water to find a suitable location for a back-up generator to combat the ongoing intermittent water supply interruptions to households on the St Augustine’s estate. Although the Parish Council has limited powers to assist, the Clerk suggested that she obtain the contact details for the representative at South East Water that the resident spoke to and investigate further. This was unanimously agreed. (iii) The Clerk reported that she received an email from a Tree Warden enquiring whether the Parish Council would support an idea for a community orchard on privately owned land near “The Slip”. The Tree Warden would be seeking the owner’s permission to potentially lease the land and secure full funding for the planting of fruit and native trees through grants available to volunteer tree wardens and lottery grants. Local beekeepers may also be included and an area of the orchard managed as a wild meadow area. The whole area would be fenced off for safety and an accessible gate sited at each end of the field linking the footpaths. Full risk assessments will be carried out and all work will be covered by the Tree Warden’s insurance. It is hoped that local tree wardens and parish volunteers will carry out most of the works and longer term potentially set up a group to ensure the area is well maintained. Reference was made to approaching No Mans Orchard Committee for advice on this matter. The Parish Council discussed the suggestion, which would be at no cost to the Council, and were in favour of introducing a new orchard into the parish. The Clerk was asked to respond with the Parish Council’s support but to advise the Tree Warden to ensure that longer term funding is in place for ongoing maintenance costs. Cllr Thomas also offered to consider a funding application as city and county councillor for the area should the project commence. CPC Parish Council Minutes –September 2019 2 Page 027 2019/2020 The Clerk was also asked to note that the area is currently used as an informal sledging run in the winter months by young people and may therefore have some local opposition to the area being fenced off completely. (6) 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 Hatcher and Cllr Dungay. The Clerk reported that NALC (National Association of Local Councils) has issued some amendments to the template Financial Regulations which she will be analysing and presenting to the Finance Committee for consideration in due course. (7) Planning Applications and Tree Works The Clerk reported that there were ‘3’ new Planning Applications since the previous meeting: CA//19/01572/FUL – Location: 124 Shalmsford Street, Chartham, CT4 7QW - Proposal: Proposed two-storey rear extension following demolition of existing single-storey rear extension. P.C. Comments: No Objections. CA/19/01515/FUL – Location: Newmafruit Farms Ltd, Howfield Farm, Howfield Lane, Chartham, CT4 7HQ - Proposal: Retrospective application for proposed detached single- storey fruit storage building and plant room. P.C. Comments: No Objections. CA/19/01706/FUL – Location: 23 Little Copse Close, Chartham, CT4 7TE - Proposal: Retrospective single-storey detached outbuilding in front garden. P.C. Comments: No Objections. The following planning applications were considered in the interim period: CA/19/01338/FUL – Location: Church Meadow, Station Road, Chartham, CT4 7HX - Proposal: Proposed development comprising a retail unit, 1no annexe and 6no detached two- storey dwellings with associated access and parking following demolition of garage service and repair centre. P.C. Comments: At the Planning Committee meeting held on 31 July 2019, councillors voted five in favour and five against the application and the Clerk therefore submitted a split comment to Canterbury City Council. CA/19/01321/FUL – Location: Upper Horton Farm, New House Lane, Chartham, CT4 7BN - Proposal: Proposed 35m mast housing 2 x 1.2m microwave dishes and equipment cabinet within a 10m x 10m compound surrounded by a 2m high mesh fence. P.C. Comments: At the Planning Committee meeting held on 31 July 2019, councillors objected to the application due to the negative impact on the surrounding views that two masts in close proximity would have on the area. CA/19/01423/FUL – Location: 1 Denstead Barns, Denstead Lane, Chartham CT4 7NL - Proposal: Change of use of outbuilding to 2no holiday letting cottages. P.C. Comments: No Objections. CA/19/01230/FUL – Location: 70 Shalmsford Street, Chartham, CT4 7RD - Proposal: Proposed single storey front extension to create bay window. P.C. Comments: No Objections. The following Appeal notification was received: CA/18/00797/FUL – Location: Small Meadows, Iffin Lane, Chartham, CT4 7BE - Proposal: Retrospective change of use of land for siting of mobile home and utility block including parking for touring unit with associated parking and landscaping.

    The Population of Chartham from 1086 to 1600

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE POPULATION OF CHARTHAM FROM 1086 TO 1600 ANGELA M. 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.

  • Notes on Roman Roads in East Kent Margary

    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.

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.
