Ridgeway House Ridgeway | Shorne | DA12 3LW Ridgeway House Ridgeway House Ridgeway | Shorne | DA12 3LW Ridgeway House Ridgeway House contains all the pleasing attributes of late Georgian domestic architecture. The façade has the large attractive windows of its period with the addition of two Victorian bays. This impressive frontage attracted the present owners, David and Tanya, who were immediately enchanted by the warm, inviting interior and stunning garden. The house was in need of some care and attention, and it was with great love and scrupulous attention to detail, that they restored the house to its original elegance. The rooms have the space, symmetry and balance of their period which make the house an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and spacious home; and the perfect venue for large gatherings of family and friends. The family eat in the dining room on a daily basis, and as the house is in an elevated position they can enjoy watching the world go by, through the large bay window. For more formal entertaining it transforms into a stylish setting, where you can experience a sense of how the room must have been in its own time. The house has a bright and positive ambience throughout, and the double aspect in the sitting room make it a particularly pleasant airy room. It is an all year room where the family relax each evening. They fling open the patio doors in the summer, and sit cosily by the open fire in winter. The well equipped kitchen is a busy area where you can enjoy a leisurely chat at the breakfast bar, or take your morning coffee out to the patio. The barn beyond the kitchen is a fantastic space. It can be a great party place or a home gym and the area above is ideal as a children’s play room. The first floor bedrooms have the character and charm of original open fireplaces, cupboards and attractive, reclaimed wooden floorboards that feature throughout the house. Climb the stairs to the attic and you have a great room with a view across the marshes to the Thames. The garden is pure delight and a very private oasis. Steps lead from the lower patio, to the second where you can relax by the pond, or to the third where you can sit in the shade of the beech tree and catch the last rays of the sun. It is a favourite spot for an evening glass of wine. The remainder of the garden is set to lawn and softly surrounded by mature tress and shrubbery. At the end is the office that is also a good place to have some undisturbed down time. The surrounding woods and countryside create a superb rural environment but with London only an hour away and Gravesend and Ebbsfleet close by, it enjoys the best of town and country life.

  • The Ruined Chapel of St Katherine at Shorne, Kent. Part II
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 23 1898 THE ETJINED CHAPEL OF ST. KATHERINE AT SHOIINE, KENT. PAET II. BY GEORGE M. ARNOLD, F.S.A. SINCE my communication upon this Chantry, which appeared on pp. 195—202 of Yol. XX. of Archceologia Gantiana, the follow- ing additional information has come to hand in reference to the building, the history of which was so obscure, that not only all circumstances of its foundation, but even the Saint of its dedication had been utterly lost. Mr. Leland L, Duncan, in writing his Notes of Wills proved in the Rochester Consistory Court, has very kindly drawn niy attention to a will of Thomas Davy of " Shornstrete " (book vii., fol. 77A), bearing date A.D. 1516, and attested by Sir Thomas Elys, in which (he states) there occurs the following bequest:— " To the reparacion of Saynfc Kateren Chapell half a quarter of Barley." It appears from such information as I can obtain that the Parish Church of Shorne contained neither altar, nor chapel dedicated to St. Katherine—hence that this legacy referred to the present building seems probable, if not incontestable. If the witness, Sir Thomas Elys (who, according to Hasted, died Vicar of Shorne on the 18th Marcli 1569) was (as I suppose) the then vicar, he affords a tolerable refutation in his own person of the idea that Shorne was at those periods an unhealthy parish, suffering often from the prevalence of ague; for protection against which a Saint " Sir John Schorne " was popularly invoked. I do not know that the Saint possessed other shrines in Kent than at Shorne, at Lower Hnlstow, and at Canterbury Cathedral, though it is stated by one author that the adjoining Parish Church of Merston (probably in error for a parish in Bucks) contained one; but that he was venerated in the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk, Bucks, and Berks we possess much evidence.

IThe site was first identified in 1889 when, as reported by George Payne (Collectanea Cantiana 1893), “on entering the rectory garden I picked up a fine Palaeolithic flint celt that lay upon the bank”. Further finds within a few yards of the same spot led Payne to conclude that the site rep- resented a Palaeolithic settlement. But it was not until the 1960s that the importance of the site was fully recognised. Tester (1965) re c o v e red an incredible 210 handaxes from three small test pits, as well as numerous cores, flake-tools and waste flakes. The finds came from a thin bed of river gravel close beneath the ground surface at c.17m OD.
