Throughout this teacher's handbook, emphasis is placed on the archaeological evidence for conclusions about the use of the site, and there are suggested activities to help students understand the techniques and methods of archaeology. The handbook shows how the site relates to its environment in a geographical context and suggests how its mosaics and wall paintings can be used as stimuli for creative work, either written or artistic. It states that the evidence for building techniques can also be examined in the light of the technology curriculum, using the Roman builder activity sheet. The handbook consists of the following sections:

    Farnborough Manor in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 7 ) FARNBOROUGH MANOR IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES. BY M. F. BOND, MA. IN Volume LVII of Archeologia Oantiona (1944) there was printed the earliest of a series of Court Rolls belonging to the manor of Farnborough, Kent, and now kept at Beaumont College, Old Windsor. Since then the lateMr. 13. W. Knocker, F.S.A., of Westerhara most kindly allowed me to read and transcribe a number of letters and other documents connected with the manor then in his possession.' Difficulties in the narrative that was pieced together from these sources have been overconie as the result of a search in the archives of the Duchy of Lancaster very kindly made by the Chief Clerk of the Duchy, Mr. R. Somerville (by whose permission I transcribed various Duchy records). It is impossible to print the court rolls and other MSS. in extenso, but since they have a certain general interest some notes on their contents are offered here. They illustrate the tenacity of manorialism and the concern of eighteenth century gentry for their manorial rights. The MSS, themselves also provide evidence of place names and of families supplementing the two existing works on local history: Farnborough and its Surroundings by J. Harland Blandford (1912), published by E. Clarke & Sons Ltd., and the Parish Registers of Farn- borough 1Cent (1638-1812) by Henry Wilson. The Manor of Farnborough had been a fee of the Dukes of Lancaster in the Middle Ages."' From 1485 the manorial descent followed the crown, and the manor was accordingly administered by the office of the Duchy of Lancaster.
