R Evison (Chairman); Cllr. B Fitter-Harding (Vice-Chairman); Cllr. A Cover; Cllr. N Cronin; Cllr. T Hulks and Mrs D Horswell (Clerk). Also present: County Cllr. John Simmonds and four residents. (1) Apologies for Absence: – Ward Cllr. Amy Baker; Ward Cllr. George Metcalfe – Mayoral Duties. The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting. (2) Note Declaration of Interest and DPI by Members in Agenda items: No Declarations. (3) To Accept Minutes of the Parish Council meeting held on 12th May 2016: 3.1 Cllr. Cronin said that 15.1 should read ‘wider funding opportunities’. This being noted the minutes were accepted as a true record and approved as such. Signed by the Chairman. Matters Arising: 3.2 Mr Burns congratulated the Parish Council on the outcome of the recent planning application for 56 Hackington Road. 3.3 Ref: 11.14 – Cllr. Evison said that there had been a surprisingly large response to the survey and spoke of the move to electronic communication by K.A.L.C. (4) Matters Raised by the Public: (Members of the public may speak on any subject/planning application for 3 minutes) 4.1 Mr Burns asked about the cutting of the overgrown verges on Tyler Hill Road. Cllr. Evison pointed out that they were in Blean parish but, also said that the verges are only cut once or twice a year by KCC whereas if devolution comes about the Parish Council will be able to take on the responsibility. The clerk said that most of the verges along Tyler Hill Road were the responsibility of the land owners. She will report it on KCC website. (5) Matters for Discussion and Approval: 5.1 Resilience update: Cllr. Evison reported that a meeting had taken place between Hackington, Blean and Harbledown. Blean had made progress with their plan but had not completed it yet. He suggested that Hackington form a working party which he would chair and suggested some residents to approach. It would be a short-term working party and they would take their findings to the Parish Council and to Blean Parish Council. The Hall committee has not been formally approached about this and it was thought it would be a good idea to approach the pub also. Cllr. Evison said that County Cllr. Simmonds had given some booklets on Emergency plans which will be put in the pub and in the box in the village hall entrance. 5.2 Concurrent Function Funding update: Cllr. Evison explained that the Concurrent Funding Function that is to be completed by the end of September is for a four year term for 2017 – 2021 which will be paid annually. He, the clerk and the treasurer of the village hall had met with Stacey Wells, CCC Project co-ordinator, to discuss the new four year application. 493 HACKINGTON PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD AT TYLER HILL MEMORIAL HALL ON THURSDAY 14th JULY 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3 Interactive speed indication device in Tyler Hill: Cllr. Evison had met with the KCC Highways Engineer to look for possible sites at the southern end of the village. None had been found as suitable as there were either power lines which would affect the radar or no spaces as the footpath was too narrow. The engineer had suggested a different scheme where a mobile device can be moved between three sites. The sites identified as suitable are: 1. Summer Lane/ Hackington Road junction. 2. Village Green close to the post box, this will record traffic from both directions. 3. Tyler Hill Road, further down from Link Road. The approximate cost of the device will be £6,000. County Cllr. John Simmonds had indicated that he may be able to help with the cost with his Member’s Grant. Thanks were given to him for all his help and support.

Contact: [email protected] A TALE OF TWO MAZERS: NEGOTIATING DONOR/RECIPIENT RELATIONSHIPS AT KENTISH MEDIEVAL HOSPITALS SHEILA SWEETINBURGH For a journal that derives its articles from both archaeologists and historians, it may be especially appropriate to consider an investigation of two medieval objects that are specifically linked to Kent, and can still be found in two of the county’s museums. Furthermore, the study of material culture and what it can reveal about the past has grown in popularity over recent decades, both within academia and what is sometimes labelled ‘popular’ or ‘public’ history. In addition, the cross-fertilization of ideas among archaeologists, art historians and cultural historians has been enhanced by the ideas of social anthropologists and historical geographers.1 These approaches can be extremely fruitful when examining different social groups outside the elite; and among the areas of investigation that has benefitted is the study of gift-giving, including an exploration of the gift itself. The classic text remains Marcel Mauss’ The Gift, but valuable recent scholarship includes Arjun Appaduria’s The Social Life of Things and Natalie Davis’ The Gift.2 As well as exploring what might be seen as the final result, the acquisition of an object, there has been a realisation that perhaps even more noteworthy is the process whereby the gift(s) moves to its new owner(s).

  • Medieval Domed Chests in Kent: a Contribution to a National and International Study Christopher Pickvance
    Medieval Domed Chests in Kent: A Contribution to a National and International Study christopher pickvance The aim of this article is to contribute to knowledge of a distinctive type of medieval chest. The focus will be on the origins of the chests, their timber, ironwork and internal design, and their period of production. The article contains a close study of the fifteen domed chests so far located in Kent, an identification of their lid timber, and a dendro- chronological study of one of the chests. Some new means of identifying the origins of the chests are suggested and comparisons made with some domed chests on the Continent. The focus on Kent is for reasons of easy access for the author, not because it is thought that the Kent domed chests are distinctive. It is hoped that future studies in the UK and abroad will allow some of the interpretations put forward to be tested. previous writing on domed chests In medieval times in England, before the development of the framed, panelled chest around 1500 , chests were of three types: dug-out, clamp-fronted (with wide stiles holding one or more boards between them) or boarded (with the boards held by pegs, nails and iron straps). 1 A perusal of illustrated sources makes clear that iron bands or straps were a very common feature of chests in this period, especially on boarded chests. 2 The straps held the elements of the chest together securely and protected it against forcible entry. Indeed, Geddes’s study of medieval decorative ironwork contains more photographs of early chests than most books on furniture.

BLAKE THE BRASSES An especially interesting feature of Barham church is the three medieval brasses in the north transept, formerly the Dering chancel. They are illustrated and described in great detail by the late Ralph Griffin, F.S.A. (Arch. Cant., xl (1928), 2-23), who says that they were 'found' under 'mean deal pews', for which he seems to think the Derings of Barham Court were in some way responsible. In fact, they were the old box pews that had been cut down on the order of the Rev. Ashton Oxenden in the restoration of the church he undertook when he was curate-in-charge, 1833-40 (Plate I). Regrettably, they were cleared away by N.E.W. Stainton, of Barham Court, in 1916 (Arch. Cant., xxxii (1917), lx), and only one remains, though far from its proper place, being now at the south door. At the same time, Mr Stainton had the brasses removed from their floor slabs and the older one placed on the north wall and the other two, a pair, on the west wall. He also permitted the organ to be moved into this transept, so that the only part of the church to have retained substantially its proprietary and early nineteenth-century character was transformed. Its final degradation was its conversion into a vestry and, being shut off from the rest of the church by a high partition, visitors are now unlikely ever to see the brasses, one of which is reputedly the earliest whole length figure in the county.
