THE immediate neighbourhood of Allington Castle appears to have been a very ancient site of human habitation. It lies close to what must have been an important ford over the Medway, at a point which was approximately the head of low-tide navigation. The road from the east, which debouches on the right bank of the river close beside the present Malta Inn, led straight to the ford, and its continua- tion on the other bank can be traced as a deep furrow through the Lock Wood, and almost as far as the church, though in part it has recently been obliterated by the dejection of quarry debris. This ancient road may be traced up to the Pilgrims' Way, from which it branched off. In the neighbourhood of the castle, at points not exactly recorded, late Celtic burials have been discovered containing remains of the Aylesford type. Where there were burials there was no doubt a settlement. In Roman days the site was likewise well occupied, and the buried ruins of a Roman villa are marked on the ordnance map in the field west of the castle. The site seems to be indicated by a level place on the sloping hill, and when the land in question falls into my hands I propose to make the researches necessary to reveal the situation and character of the villa.

'I paid a visit and was enthused by the concept of the gallery and the warmth of the staff and volunteers and the fact that the student had actually sold some of his work. 'When I was teaching full time it was often exhausting. Producing my own work felt a bit like a busman's holiday. On my semi-retirement my partner Sue could see the potential advantage of me painting rather than getting under her feet and was full of enthusiasm and encouragement for the idea, so I signed up. 'Working to deadlines has been very good for me. I doubt I would have rediscovered my enthusiasm for painting without Nucleus. The concept of the gallery is inspirational to many local artists and something that has been missing from Maidstone for a long time.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

  • The Farleighs, Boughton Monchelsea, the Loose Valley and the Roman Occupation
    The Farleighs, Boughton Monchelsea, The Loose Valley and the Roman Occupation. By Simon Elliott BSc MA (Arch) MA (War Studies) During the period when Britain was occupied by the Romans (AD43 through to the early 5th Century) both West Farleigh and East Farleigh played an important role as part of a dynamic industrial landscape in the Upper Medway Valley North-Western Kent. From the around AD50 the Medway Valley began to supply ragstone to enable the urbanization of the South East of the Province (later diocese) of Britannia, for example such building stone being used as part of the first forum in London (londinium) which began construction at this time. I believe that the ragstone was quarried from at least four sites along the River Medway. The furthest downriver was at Allington at around, or just above, the tidal reach on the River Medway. Upriver of Allington were three additional quarries, these being at Boughton Monchelsea on Medway tributary the Loose Stream, alongside Dean Street (a huge quarry) and at Teston. From wharfing on the river associated with these quarries sailing vessels would have carried loads of up to 50 tonnes of ragstone through to the Thames Estuary and then either west to London, north to Essex (where such ragstone has been found at Roman Colchester - camuludunum) or east to be used in Canterbury (durovernum cantiacorum), Richborough (rutupiae) and Dover (portus dubris). Each of these quarries is associated with villas where the elites tasked with managing the quarries would have lived, together with other settlement infrastructure. The well known site at East Farleigh featuring a villa with a temple was linked to the Dean Street quarry, while that around the river at Teston was linked with the Teston quarry.
