Unfortunately, the "coronavirus" has had a huge impact on the lives of everyone, and hopefully we can beat this pandemic in due course. Making the most of his time in lock down, the League Statistician has now updated the records for the Kent Regional Cricket League. We bring you Version 2, which includes all the facts and figures from Season 2019. At present, we still don't know what is going to happen over the next few months; let's just hope we get the opportunity to add another chapter in due course. Fingers crossed and stay positive! Version 2 of the KRCL records now takes into account all matches played in the League from 2003, up to the end of the 2019 season. The records comprise some fantastic achievements over the last two decades, and certain individuals have certainly played a lot of cricket! This is a great testament to the popularity and the success of the KRCL over this period. There is also a detailed section for each club containing specific milestones. For the observant reader, you will note that the Kent Regional Cricket League was actually founded in 2010 when the existing East and West Kent Feeder Leagues merged. The current records go back to 2003, and in time hopefully we will be able to dig out additional records from before this period. Records show that the league officially started in 1974 and was known as the Mid-Kent League. This ran until 2000, when there was a split and the West Feeder League started. In 2001, the Mid-Kent changed its name to the East Kent Feeder League and the recent history since then is well documented. Over time, we will try and add to these amazing records, but we will probably need your help. Tracking down old scorebooks is not an easy job, so if you come across any, Andy and myself will be delighted to hear from you. Going forwards, please ensure that your scorecards are loaded correctly and containing all the facts and figures. This will help us achieve an even better history of the League over future seasons. All that leaves me to say is a HUGE thank you to Andy Lynch for his amazing work in compiling this document. Please thank Andy if you get a chance, I know many people are keen to see records such as these. Brian Smith Kent Cricket League Administrator Kent Regional Cricket League Administrator 8 Editorial When putting together a handbook such as this, especially at this time of year, the work involved is usually accompanied, and buoyed, by the anticipation of the season that is fast approaching. For obvious reasons this year, that anticipation is at best tempered, and for many, sadly absent altogether. With the world-wide pandemic, and its consequences, likely to be with us for the foreseeable future, it is perfectly understandable that cricket is hardly at the forefront of anyone’s minds at present. So against that backdrop, I merely hope that this provides you with something of interest to browse through during our enforced absence from the game. I’ll just add that hopefully there will be an opportunity to take to the field at some stage during the summer, and in the mean time, I hope that you and your respective families/ loved ones stay safe.

  • The Warren Farm Chamber: a Reconsideration

    The Warren Farm Chamber: a Reconsideration

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE WARREN FARM CHAMBER: A RECONSIDERATION PAUL ASHBEE At least seven ruined but recognisable stone-chambered long barrows, Kit's Coty House being the best known, still remain in the Medway valley where that river cuts through the chalk of the North Downs. They had exceptionally high rectangular chambers, proportional facades, and stone kerbs. In plan they recall the southern English earthen long barrows, originally of timber, such as Fussell's Lodge in Wiltshire (Ashbee 1966). They are distinct from other groups and are likely to have been versions of the stone-built long barrows of Holland and Northern Germany (Ashbee 1999). The Medway's megalithic long barrows (Fig. 1), like others of their kind, were surrogate long houses (Ashbee 1999, 270) and also repositories for human remains rather than mere tombs. There may have been centuries of recourse to them, before they were finally sealed with occupation debris (Piggott 1962, 26; Woodward 1993). Their construction with sarsen stones, some of almost Stonehenge calibre, required considerable labour, while they cannot but have fulfilled a central role for the Neolithic communities of the terrain that was to become Kent. Early in 1822 the great stones of a long barrow chamber's remnant part were encountered, just within the 300ft contour, and close by Warren Farm, on Blue Bell Hill (NGR TQ 753 606). An obstruction to ploughing had led to digging which disclosed large sarsen stones just below the surface. George Fowle, of Cobtree Manor, the landowner, ordered their removal, but when three uprights emerged he determined that they should be uncovered.

    The Medway Megaliths and Neolithic Kent

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE MEDWAY MEGALITHS AND NEOLITHIC KENT* ROBIN HOLGATE, B.Sc. INTRODUCTION The Medway megaliths constitute a geographically well-defined group of this Neolithic site-type1 and are the only megalithic group in eastern England. Previous accounts of these monuments2 have largely been devoted to their morphology and origins; a study in- corporating current trends in British megalithic studies is therefore long overdue. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN BRITISH MEGALITHIC STUDIES Until the late 1960s, megalithic chambered barrows and cairns were considered to have functioned purely as tombs: they were the burial vaults and funerary monuments for people living in the fourth and third millennia B.C. The first academic studies of these monuments therefore concentrated on the typological analysis of their plans. This method of analysis, though, has often produced incorrect in- terpretations: without excavation it is often impossible to reconstruct the sequence of development and original appearance for a large number of megaliths. In addition, plan-typology disregards other aspects related to them, for example constructional * I am indebted to Peter Drewett for reading and commenting on a first draft of this article; naturally I take responsibility for all the views expressed. 1 G.E.

    Visiting the Kent Countryside – a Guide for Parents of Children with Autism

    !"#"$%&'()*' +*%(',-.%(/0#"1* !"#$%&'"()*"+!*',-." )("/0%1&*',"2%-0"!$3.4 This booklet aims to help parents and carers of children with autism to access nature and the countryside in Kent. It should also prove useful to those living and working with adults with autism. The booklet represents the first in a series of projects to be undertaken by Autism and Nature, a new Social Enterprise. It begins by introducing some of the health benefits of nature and the countryside for children with autism. This is followed by a guide to ‘natural’ places to visit in the Kent countryside, which the authors believe many children with autism might enjoy. The booklet concludes with a series of case stories, describing visits to the countryside by school children with autism and related conditions.

  • A Disciple of the Druids. the Beale Poste

    A Disciple of the Druids. the Beale Poste

    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 A DISCIPLE OF THE DRUIDS THE BEALE POSTE MSS. By JOHN H. EVAITS, F.S.A. THE title of this paper contains a word at which all modern archseologists blanch, for the Druid Myth bedevilled and dominated antiquarian research for a long period, and delayed a true appreciation of many of our problems in prehistory. The intense interest displayed in the Druids and their religion was not the least remarkable of the complex influences which the Romantic Movement exercised upon taste and thought in the century which falls between 1720 and 1820. The white- robed Druid with his romantic appurtenances, the golden sickle, the mistletoe, the sunrise sacrifice in the charmed circle of hoary stones, and behind the deep and gloomy wood, has entirely faded from the archaeological scene, and the study has now fallen into complete neglect, a brilliant exception being Mr. T. D. Kendrick's book The Druids, 1927. That the researches of the Rev. Beale Poste into (among many other things) the West Kent Megaliths should at every point be saturated with the Druid spirit is not surprising when we consider that it was during the actual writing of his The Military Antiquities of Kent that (Mr. Kendrick tells us) " Dr. Joseph Anderson noticed the significance of the entries for the stone circles in the early indexes of Archceolagia ; in 1809 it was simply, Stones, Circles of, but in 1844 this was altered to Stones, Circles of, v. Druids." It is not clear why this magnum opus never saw the printer's ink, for a 4-page, closely printed " Advertisement " promised marvellously well, for Poste was in the habit of giving value for money, and the entranced reader was invited to follow the history of our County from geologic ages to the Dutch War, with a Dictionary of Kenticisms thrown in.
