Records show that a Nonington Agriculture Association P.M. was held as long ago as 1840 and continued for about 90 years with some breaks most notably during the two World Wars and during "Difficulties in the Agricultural Situation" in depression of the 1930's". Soon after the end of the Second World War, on 25th October 1945,the Shepherdswell and District P.M.Association, as it was then called, held the first Match at West Court Shepherdswell where, despite rain and gale force winds,it is thaught about 1000 people attended "Ladies"were involved selling catalogues at a shilling [5p] a time. Angela Coleman and Kate Hume being involved almost from the beginning. In 1950 the Association changed its name to the East Kent P.M.A.and the possibility of a Womens Section was suggested by Ella Robertson, John Robertson's wife. of Appleton Manor, but it was not thought to be financially possible that year. However she and a number of the P.M Committee Members' wives formed a Committee of their own and were able to put on their first Show the following year. They were a remarkable collection of Ladies, mostly Farmer's wives, the majority in their 40's or early 50's, who had worked so hard during the War coping with shortages and the worry of children being evacuated from this hot spot of East Kent, followed by a difficult 5 years trying to get back to normal.

  • Richness of History
    Historic churches in Kent reveal the richness of history visitchurches.org.uk/daysout 3 the historic treasures of the garden of England Kent’s historic churches are as beautiful and distinctive as the county itself. 2 Some are Medieval gems, set gloriously amid the rolling Downs, where pilgrims bound for Canterbury would pause and pray. Others were built on trading riches and are grand survivors of savage French sea attacks. They inspired Charles Dickens – let them do the same for you. Take time out to visit the extraordinary treasures that are the historic churches of Kent. All the churches in this leaflet have been saved by step into The Churches Conservation Trust. The Trust is a charity that cares for more than 340 churches in England.

  • Origins and Development of the 'Thanington High Lanes'
    The Emergence of a Community An Introduction to the Origins and Development of the ‘Thanington High Lanes’ area outside Canterbury Clive H. Church ‘Rufflands’ 72A New House Lane Thanington Without Canterbury, CT4 7BJ Tel: 01227-458437 E Mail: [email protected] 30 July 2005 The author‘s thanks go both to all those residents who have provided him with information (whether written or oral) and to the staff of the Local Studies Centre (Canterbury Library), the Cathedral Archives and the Kentish Studies Centre (KCC Maidstone) who found materials and answered questions. Any errors are his alone. And any corrections or additions will be gratefully received. Copies are available on the websites of both Hilltop CA (Canterbury) and Thanington Without Civil Parish Council. 2 The Origins of the ‘Thanington High Lanes’ (or Hilltop) area and its Community If you stand at the top of the University Road and look south west across the city to the hills beyond, one thing might strike you. It is that, apparently in the middle of nowhere, there is one line of houses running diagonally up a slope (but stopping well short of the summit). Whereas elsewhere buildings are clustered together, here they are starkly on their own. So why should these houses (and the ones behind which are not really visible from the top of St Thomas’s Hill) have been built there ? And why are there houses only on one side of the road ? While there is much that we do not know, the answer to the first question seems to be that the houses are a chance by product of the vicissitudes of English agricultural society over the last 250 years.
