Of this number the re­ spective accounts of 2,289 depositors did not exceed £20; 976 were above that sum and not exceeding £50, and 17 exceeded £200. Among the number of depositors are 97 Charitable Institutions, and 2&,Friendly Societies. Actuary and Secretary, Mr. Samuel Greaves. THE CANTERBURY POOR-LAW UNION comprises the parishes of All Saints, St. Alphege, St. Andrew, St. Mary Bredin, St. Mary Bredman, St. George the Martyr, St. Mary Magdalen, St. Margaret, St. Martin, St. Mildred, St. Mary Northgate, St. Paul, St. Peter, and Holy Cross West­ gate; each parish appoints two Guardians, who meet every Tuesday at the Board room. The Bridewell, or poor Priest's Hospital, is now occu­ pied by the inmates of the Union; but the premises having been found inconvenient for the general purposes of a Poor··Law establishment, it has been determined to erect a new Union House; the site chosen is a plot of land a short distance from Canterbury, on the south side of the old Dover road, in the iparish of St. M:ary Bredin. It will be a commo­ dwus structure, the estimated cost of which is £7,500. Mr. John Gib­ bons is chairman of the Guardians; William Sladden, clerk; T. S. Cooper, surgeon; John Nutt, registrar; F. Duly, relieving officer; Rev. J. H. James, chaplain. S. White, collector; and Mr. and Mrs. Haisell, governor and governess. COUNTY COuRT.-See vol. 1, page 32.

  • The Population of Chartham from 1086 to 1600
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE POPULATION OF CHARTHAM FROM 1086 TO 1600 ANGELA M. LANGR1DGE The subject of this paper is the population of an east Kent rural community from 1086 to 1600. Much recent work has emphasised the importance of demographic trends in the economic and social history of the medieval period. It has been argued that very considerable population expansion took place in rural society between the eleventh century and c. 1300.' Much of the change in rural society in the later Middle Ages has been linked to major demographic decline. Some historians argue that this decline set in with a subsistence crisis in the first quarter of the fourteenth century! Others date the downturn in the demographic trend from the first visitation of bubonic plague in 1348-49.3 A consensus of opinion is also absent with regard to the date of the upturn in population at the end of the Middle Ages. Estate and regional studies published in recent decades have reflected the increased emphasis on demographic change, but no systematic attempt has yet been made to investigate the popula- tion of a medieval community in Kent.' The kinds of evidence and the methods utilised in demographic studies have varied considerably. A number of studies have concen- trated on mortality figures, while others have attempted to derive generation replacement rates from a combination of birth and death See particularly the work of M. M. Postan, most recently in The Medieval Economy and Society (1978), 30-44.

  • Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments
    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.

  • Charles Oxenden
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society CHARLES OXENDEN Cricketer, Cleric and Medical Pioneer PHILIP H. BLAKE St. Patrick's Day, 1979, was the 105th anniversary of the death of the Rev. Charles Oxenden, Hon. Canon of Canterbury and first rector of the separate living of Barham, near Canterbury — and the fact will mean practically nothing to most people. Yet, a great national institution, the Eton v. Harrow cricket match, played annually at Lord's for over 150 years, was his foundation, and as a pioneer in the administration of health services for the poor he was advocating to a Parliamentary Committee 125 years ago that free medical attention should be provided on a national basis to every- one below a certain income. At that time, also, he was managing a medical provident society of over 2,000 members that he himself had founded 20 years previously. But past is all his fame. The very spot, Where many a time he triumph'd, is forgot. It is the object of this paper to recall some of the details of this useful life. Charles Oxenden was the fourth son of Sir Henry Oxenden, 7th baronet, of Broome House in Barham, where he was born on 23rd May, 1800, baptized privately three days later and was received into the Church at Barham on 25th July following. He went to school first at Eton, but was later transferred to Harrow. Although there is now no record of the exact dates of his entering and leaving either school, he certainly entered Eton in 1814 after Election, i.e., after late July, when candidates were chosen King's Scholars, and probably, therefore, at the beginning of the autumn term.

  • 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.
