Central Surrey Region will be hiring the large conference hall on Thursday 29th November to stage a free exhibition of works which will be open to the general public as well as to our members. We are intending to mount a big display with many groups from across Surrey taking part. Surrey is one of the most successful areas for U3A membership and Mole Valley, with U3As in Dorking, Bookham, Leatherhead, Fetcham and Ashtead, probably has the highest membership rate anywhere in the country. The team organising the event has yet to settle the details but it is hoped that we will be able to attract significant representatives from the community as well as a good crowd of public and members. The exhibition will be open all day, certainly from mid-morning to late afternoon, so put the date in your diary. It should be a pleasant event and the Denbies shop and restaurant will certainly be full of Christmas spirit. We hope to see you there. For those few who have not been, it is worth noting that there is plenty of free parking in this lovely location and it offers easy access to all the facilities.

It was built around 1365 to house Edward III’s personal treasure as part of the palace at Westminster, and is one of the few buildings from this complex to survive today. In the 17th century, the Jewel Tower became the record office for the Houses of Lords and from 1869, it was the home of the Weights and Measures office, which set standards used across the British Empire.

  • 1993 112 Kentish Rag and Other Kent Building Stones Worssam.Pdf
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society KENTISH RAG AND OTHER KENT BUILDING STONES BERNARD C. WORSSAM and TIM TATTON-BROWN The name Kentish Rag, or Ragstone, suggests a building stone suitable only for rough walling purposes, a view expressed, for example, by Howe (1910, 264), who wrote of Kentish Rag: 'It has been extensively used in churches in the Home Counties in the form of random and coursed work; it cannot be dressed . .' From earlier periods than Howe's time of writing there are, however, many examples of dressed stonework as well as of ashlar and window tracery in Kentish Rag. It is one purpose of this paper to draw attention to the varied ways in which the stone has been used from time to time. Kentish Rag varies in lithology along its outcrop, such that it is possible in the case of many buildings to deduce the location from which their stone has been derived. Certain Middlesex churches (Robinson and Worssam 1990) provide instances. The paper, therefore, starts with an account of the geology of Kentish Rag. Descriptions are also included of three types of stone with some resemblance to Kentish Rag: the well-known Reigate stone, from Surrey; Folkestone stone, which is rarely recognised as a building stone; and Thanet Beds sandstone from east Kent, so little regarded that it has no familiar local name. THE GEOLOGY OF KENTISH BUILDING STONES Kentish Rag occurs in the Hythe Beds formation, which is part of the Lower Greensand, a group of formations of Lower Cretaceous age (see Table 1).

The ride back was good with all 15 bikes keeping together!! My thanks go to the backmarkers: Dell Evans, Chris Doody, Paul Cutler and Mark Halliday. All in all a very enjoyable ride. Saturday 21st : Carols and Mince Pies @ GH-D - Photos A lovely way to end the 2019 singing carols accompanied by Wavy Davey, eating mince pies and chatting with friends. So a big thank you to everyone who turned up as we managed to raise £161 for Chapter charities. Thursday 5th - Club Night @ GH-D - Photos 1 | 2 A festive Club Night at the Dealership as we approach the end of the year. There was a fashion show, refreshments supplied by GH-D, singing with Wavy Davey (and guests!) plus news of additional events happening in January and February next year.
