The Abbey of never _ ‘ ’ occupied a place amongst the great solemn abbies of England , but its history presents certain points of more general interest than a dry catalogue of successive Abbots , or a series of petty squabbles with its neighbours , which forms the staple material for the Lesnes story of many a monastic house . furthermore occupies a very limited space in the standard works on monastic history , and this in spite of the fact that the documentary sources of information are unusually prolific . These circumstances are , f . I think , su ficient to excuse the somewhat extended account which is here presented With regard to its architectural history, the extensive remains which have been brought to light by the recent excavation of the site are amply worthy, as the sequel will show , of a full and complete description . The excavation of the site of the Abbey was primarily due to the energy and initiative of Mr . W . T . Vincent , President of the Woolwich Antiquarian Society, who 19 09 in collected the nucleus of the excavation fund and himself started the work . 19 13 Since that time the work has gone on , mostly under my own supervision , until , when it was decided that its continuance would be unlikely to provide any adequate return . The result has been the recovery of the complete plan of the church and i nfirmar claustral block, of the y, and of some subsidiary buildings , and in View of the comparatively low expenditure must be looked upon as eminently satisfactory . Of In the elucidation the various features of the plan , I have to acknowledge the . S ec s A valuable help of Mr C R Peers , Hon . , Sir W . H . St . John Hope , M . A . , and other gentlemen , who visited the site during the progress of the work and kindly gave me their views . To Mr . Peers also I am deeply indebted for having read the proofs of this volume and for many corrections and suggestions which have added considerably to its accuracy . The executive work of the excavations was carried on by a Works Committee of the Woolwich Antiquarian Society, whose support and sustained interest in the under . w taking has added greatly to its success In this connexion Mr Frank Spiers , h o ii INTRODUCTION a a s a o m a h a s a. a i su cted Cur t r of the te por ry museum , completed v luable serv ce by per intending the a rr a ngement of such of the finds as have been removed to the pari sh church of Erith . w W : . i The follo ing is a list of the Works Committee Mr T .

  • William Polhill, Fifth Son
    180 THE POLHILL, OR POi.LEY, AND DE BOKELAND FAMILIES, DE• DUCED FROM THE VISITATION OF KENT IN 1619, BY PHILPOT, AND OF 1633; FROM HASTED AND HARRIS' HISTORIES OF KENT, BERRY'S KENTISH PEDIGREES, AND ADD, MS, 57ll, &,c, THE late eminent literary veteran and historian of Cornwall, the Rev. Richard Polwhele, of Polwhele, entertained an almost decided opinion, not only from the traditions of his family, but from other circumstances, that the Polhills of Kent were a branch of the Cornish Polwheles, which emigrated from the western into the eastern counties at a very early period; in an• cient deeds of his family, the name is spelt sometimes Polwhele, and sometimes Polhill, and the manor of Polwhele in Domesday Book is called " Polhel : " this manor was occupied under Ed• ward the Confessor by Winu» de Polhall (Polwel or Polwyl). In the time of the Empress Maud, J 140, Drogo de Polwhele, who was her Chamberlain, had large grants of lands from her; and this Drogo is the ancestor of the Polwheles 'of Polwhele, and, upon the authority cited, of the Polhills of Kent and Sussex. At what period of time this branch of the family settled in Kent it is difficult to say; but, as it is one of the most ancient in the county, it must have been at a very early period, at or pre• viously to the reign of Edward III. for in a charter in the Brit. Mus. xxvi. 30, 7 Edw. III. amongst other names, appear those of " Edmundi de Polle," and " Richardi de Bocland," the name having been spelt sometimes Polley, and sometimes Polhill.

  • Copy of 11 Sum 01B.P65
    Summer 2011 NEWSLETTER Rachel Beer - the Tunbridge Wells Connection You probably saw reviews of this book in the quality newspapers recently - it seems to have been very well received. It tells the story of Mrs Rachel Beer, a young Jewish women of very wealthy background who edited The Sunday Times and The Observer simultaneously in the 1890s. It is a tragic tale telling of her decline and breakdown after the death of her husband, and the rather uncaring attitude of many in her family, including Siegfried Sassoon. What you may not have realised is that there is a significant Tunbridge Wells connection. Rachel Beer lived here for over twenty years, though in a rather subdued way, first in Earls Court and then Chancellor House. The authors, Eilat Negev and Yehuda Koren, visited the town in 2008 as part of their research. Garden Party This year our Garden Party is on Saturday 23rd July at Mabledon. We are very grateful to Mr Hari Saraff for allowing us to use the grounds of this impressive Decimus Burton building for our annual event.

  • The Franciscans in Hertfordshire. a Note in Commemoration : 1224—1924
    The Franciscans in Hertfordshire. A Note in Commemoration : 1224—1924. BY GERALD R. OWST, M.A., PH.D. "IN the year of the Lord 1224, in the time of the Lord Pope Honorius, in the same year, that is, in which the Rule of the blessed Francis was by him con- firmed, and in the eighth year of the Lord King Henry, son of John, on the Tuesday after the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, which that year fell upon a Sunday, the Friars Minor first arrived in England, land- ing at Dover. They were four clerics and five lay- brethren."1 Thus opens brother Thomas of Eccleston's narrative " Of the coming of the Friars Minor [or Franciscans] into England,' compiled probably about forty years after that first landing. At recent celebrations of the seventh hundred anniversary of the event, Eccles- ton's picturesque account of the heroic pioneers pressing on to Canterbury, from thence to London, and so even- tually to Oxford and other important towns, has been re-told. There is no need to linger, therefore, about those first guest-houses on the road, around the school- house fire at Canterbury, or the kitchen fire at Salisbury, where ill-fed and weary friars made merry over the wretched beer-dregs, or in the little cells erected in Corn- hill with their lining of dried grass. When did the brethren first reach Hertfordshire in days of extreme poverty, simplicity and holy joy? We do not know. Something more than mere chance would seem to have marked out St.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

The Bishop of Bedford took the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal to a new audience for this year’s Bedfordshire launch: offenders on Community Payback. About a dozen Bedfordshire younger offenders heard about the 2013 appeal, for Ethiopian bee-keepers, at St Botolph’s, Apsley Guise. Afterwards, they had a chance to inspect some bees kept by the Rector, the Revd Graham Bradshaw, and hear about the threats to the bee population across the world. As the Bishop of St Albans says in his introduction to the appeal: ‘Albert Einstein observed that if the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, humanity would only have four years left to live.’ So helping the bee in any part of the world is helping the whole of humanity. The unusual audience took a keen interest in the struggle of Ethiopian farmers to modernise their equipment and methods for one of Ethiopia’s traditional farm products: honey. A project, run by Christian Aid with a local partner, Action For Development, provides Ethiopian bee-keepers with new hives and helps them to aggregate in co-operatives, improving the local productivity and profitability of their honey production many times over, at very low cost.

TO THE OFFICERS AND NURSING STAFF OF THE ONTARIO MILITARY HOSPITAL Your prolonged stay in this country, in pursuance of the invaluable service you are rendering to those wounded in the course of the war, has given me the opportunity of the further realization of a long-felt wish to make you, who came from your Dominion, acquainted with some of the more historic and intimate phases of our old Mother Country, by showing you the ancestral homes of those to whom much of the greatness of our Empire is due.
