  • Stowting Court Stables Stowting | Ashford | Kent | TN25 6BA Seller Insight
    Stowting Court Stables Stowting | Ashford | Kent | TN25 6BA Seller Insight “We were initially attracted by the rural character and location of the property. The house is a modern rebuild of an old farm building and still retains some of the original features, including the old timbers and the bricks which were used in the construction of the courtyard garden,” says the vendor. “Having relocated from London, we’ve always loved the peace and tranquility, yet we’re surrounded by a network of country lanes which gives us easy access to the surrounding towns. Set on the edge of the North Downs, there are lots of lovely country walks and cycle routes just on our doorstep and we do enjoy a nice stroll followed by some food and drink in the local pub, just a couple of minutes away. I often pop to Canterbury or Wye for shopping trips and both have some lovely restaurants and boutique shops. Hythe and Whitstable are just a short drive away and we enjoy walking along the promenade and often stop for refreshments in the cafes. There are lots of places to visit in the local area, including Dover and Leeds Castles and the Continent is very accessible as the Channel Tunnel is about a 10-minute drive from here.” “Outside, the south facing courtyard garden is extremely private and is not overlooked at all. It’s very low maintenance with a flower bed and lots of pots, full of flowers and herbs. It’s a great place for entertaining in the summer when we open the doors from the living room out into the garden and our guests can easily mingle throughout the house and outside space.” “The house is very uplifting, I think due to the open plan layout and the light and airy rooms.

  • Some Problems of the North Downs Trackway in Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society SOME PROBLEMS OF THE NORTH DOWNS TRACKWAY IN KENT By REV. H. W. R. Liman, S.J., M.A.(0xon.) THE importance of this pre-historic route from the Continent to the ancient habitat of man in Wiltshire has long been recognized. In the Surrey Archceological Collections of 1964 will be found an attempted re-appraisal of its route through the county of Surrey. Although the problems connected with its passage through Kent are fewer owing to its being better preserved, there are some points which I think still deserve attention—the three river crossings of the Darenth, the Medway and the Stour; the crossing of the Elham valley; and the passage to Canterbury of the branch route from Eastwell Park, known as the Pilgrims' Way. It may be worth while, before dealing with the actual crossings, to note a few general characteristics. Mr. I. D. Margary—our most eminent authority on ancient roads in Britain—has pointed out the dual nature of this trackway. It com- prises a Ridgeway and a Terraceway. The first runs along the crest of the escarpment. The second runs parallel to it, usually at the point below the escarpment where the slope flattens out into cultivation. In Kent for the most part the Terraceway has survived more effectually than the Ridgeway. It is for much of its length used as a modern road, marked by the familiar sign 'Pilgrims' Way'. Except at its eastern terminus the Ridgeway has not been so lucky, although it can be traced fairly accurately by those who take the trouble to do so.

  • The North Downs Main Trackways
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 64 1951 THE NORTH DOWNS MAIN TRACKWAYS By IVAIT D. MARGABY, F.S.A. THE importance of the main trackway connecting the principal habita- tion sites of early Man in Wiltshire with the Channel coast in Kent is a matter of general agreement. West of Farnham the route hears the ancient name " Harrow Way," but eastwards from that point it has generally been associated with the term " Pilgrims' Way," from its supposed use by pilgrims travelling from Winchester to Canterbury. In recent years much doubt hag been cast upon the authenticity of the pilgrim tradition, but this does not, of course, in any way affect the undoubted importance of the route to prehistoric and later traffic generally. One curious result of the preoccupation with the pilgrim tradition, however, has been obliviousness to the existence of the main ridgeway along the Downs, although it can be traced almost continuously along their entire length, generally still in use as a road or track. Much has been written about the Pilgrims' Way, which usually follows the foot of the main escarpment, but I am not aware that any writer has even so much as hinted at the existence of an accompanying ridgeway, excepting for a brief reference by Mr. Belloc1 to a " flanking road " along the Hog's Back in Surrey. In my book, Roman Ways in the Weald, there is a short section dealing in general terms with this dual trackway, which would have been in contemporary use although not an engineered Roman road, but recently, thanks to the co-operation of the Archaeology Branch of the Ordnance Survey, I have had the opportunity of examining the entire route of the ridgeway in order to plot its course upon the maps, for in future it is intended to mark both tracks " Ancient Trackway." It is perhaps scarcely necessary to describe the course of the ridgeway in detail, because it is the ridgeway and can usually be traced quite clearly as a road or track, often with a parish boundary following it, along the crest of the Downs, or sometimes a little to the north of the crest.

Parents, staff and pupils often describe Stowting Primary School as like a ‘big family’. Pupils enjoy coming to school. This is because staff look after them well. There is a friendly atmosphere where everyone works together to make sure the school is a pleasant place to be. Pupils live up to the high expectations of staff. This is because pupils want to do well and work hard. Teachers set pupils very demanding work that requires pupils to think hard. There are a very wide range of activities for pupils to get involved in. Many pupils attend after-school clubs to practise, amongst other things, cooking and cross- county running or to play football. Pupils are eager to have a say in the way the school is run. For instance, pupils successfully campaigned to have sensors fitted on all lights in school to save electricity. Pupils behave extremely well in lessons and around school. They have excellent attitudes to learning. When pupils feel worried about things they know who to go to for help. Pupils feel safe in school. Parents, staff and pupils all agree that there is no bullying in school. What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

Outline the activities the council has undertaken during 2018/19 to promote equality, diversity and inclusion both amongst its workforce (officers and members) and within the community, and the positive measures that have been taken to remove barriers, improve access to services and increase customer satisfaction.
