Two Kentish Hospitals Re-Examined: S. Mary, Ospringe, and Ss. Stephen and Thomas, New Romney*
Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 79 1964 TWO KENTISH HOSPITALS RE-EXAMINED: S. MARY, OSPRINGE, AND SS. STEPHEN AND THOMAS, NEW ROMNEY* By S. E. RIGOLD, F.S.A. THE hospitals here considered were both products of the great age of medieval hospital-founding, in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. From that age fifteen out of the twenty-five known hospitals in Kent originate, five being earlier and five later. Perhaps more than any other of these (except the unfortunate house of Sweynester in Sittingbourne), these two were unable to adapt themselves to the changing conditions of the fourteenth century, yet they differed widely in purpose and status: Ospringe had royal patronage and performed several of the various functions later assigned to more specialized institutions that have inherited the name of hospital; Romney was of comparatively humble foundation and solely a refuge for lepers. Both houses have already been the subjects of detailed studies in Archceologia Cantiana, since when it has been part of the writer's official duty to investigate their physical remains and he has taken the oppor- tunity to submit the limited, documentary evidence, as it were, to a second pressing. It is this, rather than any attempt to test the relevance of two such divergent samples to the general problem of the social history of the medieval hospital, that is the reason for considering them together here. THE HOSPITAL OF ST. MARY OF OSPRINGE, COMMONLY CALLED MAISON DIETT The late Charles H. Drake published a valuable paper on this house in Arch. Cant., xxx (1913), pp. -

As I we dug more deeply, we discovered how such events have touched on the lives of local people in and around the Parish. The story really begins with our thanks to the generosity of many families who have shared with us their images, stories and documents to add to our on-going Heritage Project. The sub-group has added some further research, to help us understand what the conditions were like in our Parish as ‘royal celebrations’ became honoured locally right up to the modern day. -

Teynham Area of Opportunity 5.5.30 Teynham Is Centrally Located Within Swale and Is One of the Largest Villages in the Borough
Teynham Area of Opportunity 5.5.30 Teynham is centrally located within Swale and is one of the largest villages in the Borough. It is defined in this plan as a Rural Local Service Centre as it supports the needs of the existing community and the settlements around it. The village owes much of its good range of services (including primary school, GP surgery, library and retail) and public transport provision to its position along the main Roman Road Watling Street (Greenstreet). 5.5.31 Teynham village is made up of a number of historic settlements including Greenstreet, Cellar Hill and Barrow Green. The London Road running through the village marks the boundary between Lynsted with Kingsdown Parish to the south and Teynham Parish to the north. 5.5.32 The straight alignment of the London Road through Teynham owes much to its Roman origins and gives the ‘high street’ in Teynham a distinctive linear character. The presence of medieval and post medieval buildings (particularly around Cellar Hill), but also dotted along the London Road and in the countryside around the village, provide evidence of the long-standing agricultural prosperity of the area, made possible by the rich soils of the north Kent fruit belt. The arrival of the railway north of Greenstreet in the 19th century led to the growth of the village towards the train station. Subsequent development over the 20th century has filled in the land between Watling Street and the railway line. 5.5.33 The countryside around Teynham is rural and agricultural in character and use.
