  • How Did One Approach Otford Palace?
    How did one approach Otford Palace? Charles Shee How did one approach the Otford Palace? Charles Shee This article, based on the archives of the Otford and District Historical Society, was first published in the Otford History and Heritage Newsletter, Autumn 2019, no 19. It is included in the Otford Palace archive by kind permission of Charles Shee and Alan Williams, editor of the Newsletter. Walking from the Otford pond to the Palace it is easy to assume that the slightly elevated lane that passes Chantry Cottage was the access route to the 16C Archbishop ’s Palace. However, a moment’s reflection suggests that this is unlikely. The present narrow road (Palace Approach) leads towards the remaining north-western Tower, but the original main entrance, the Great Gatehouse, was actually significantly further to the east (Fig 1). The western half of the Great Gatehouse still exists, and is joined to the remaining tower by a row of cottages (Fig 1). Some readers will know the western Gatehouse as the building where the Guides used to meet. The eastern part of the Gatehouse and the long range running east towards the station, along with most of the rest of the Palace, were demolished and cleared away many years ago. Surely the original approach to the grand northern entrance of this magnificent palace must have been further to the east than the existing lane? None of the known accounts of the Palace tell us how the Great Gatehouse was approached from the north, nor are there any contemporary illustrations. The reconstruction model of the Palace by Rod Shelton (a “must see” in the Heritage Centre) and the guides to the Palace by local historians Cliff Ward and Rod Shelton leave it to the imagination how this approach way might have connected to the vicinity of the Otford pond or High Street.

  • DORSET AS a LOCAL MAGNATE, 1624-1642. in the Previous Chapter
    CHAPTER FIVE: DORSET AS A LOCAL MAGNATE, 1624-1642. In the previous chapter, I argued that Dorset's ecclesiastical patronage is best understood as one dimension of his local influence: most of the benefices in his gift lay near his Sussex estates, and he nearly always chose local men to serve them. 1 I now want to explore more fully Dorset's career as a provincial magnate from his inheritance of the earldom to the outbreak of civil war. I will suggest that muscle in local politics and government depended on three things above all: first, the tenure of specific offices, such as the Lord Lieutenancy of a county, or the High Stewardship of a borough; second, residence in a particular district, and the local knowledge which this yielded; and third, the location of landed estates. The first three sections of this chapter analyse how these variables interacted in Sussex, where Dorset was Lord Lieutenant from 1624, and where his territorial base was concentrated. We will see that Dorset's extensive selling of land to payoff his elder brother's debts did not per se reduce his local clout, and that the office of Lord Lieutenant retained considerable power, especially in military and fiscal matters. However, the Lord Lieutenancy did not necessarily confer electoral patronage, and it seems that Dorset's ------------------------- 1. See Chapter Four, above, pp. 242-3. -260- parliamentary candidates were most consistently successful where they had a local background. In the fourth section, I will strengthen these conclusions with evidence from outside Sussex, and suggest that recent discussion of the early Stuart electorate has tended to neglect the central conflict of interest between noblemen sponsoring their men-of-business and corporations seeking representatives with local knowledge.

  • National Trust Marks Thirty Years Since the Great Storm
    National Trust marks thirty years since the Great Storm Hundreds of thousands of trees across 3,000 acres of Trust woodland lost in one night Losses included 400-year-old sweet chestnuts and 245-year-old cedar trees Storm was a chance to re-evaluate the way Trust works in the outdoors and manages its woodlands Today the conservation charity works more closely with ecological processes Three decades on, the effects endure in the landscapes - and memories – of places caught up in the eye of the Great Storm. Between 2am and 6am on 16 October 1987, winds reaching up to 110mph ripped across the South East, devastating homes, woods and gardens in its path. For the National Trust, it meant the loss of hundreds of thousands of trees across 3,000 acres of land. Rangers and gardeners who witnessed the devastation first-hand found it hard to bear. “It was a battle zone” says gardener Alan Comb. He started work at Emmetts Garden, Kent, a week after the plantsman’s paradise lost 95 per cent of its woodland. “There were trees sticking up like totem poles”. Stark statistics Alan’s tale is echoed across Kent, Sussex and Surrey, home to some of the worst-hit areas. Toys Hill in Kent, the former home of National Trust founder Octavia Hill, lost 98 per cent of its trees. Fallen timber piled 40 feet high and a 245-year-old Lebanon cedar tree was strewn across the grounds of Petworth, West Sussex. At Slindon, in the South Downs, near Arundel, the Great Storm brought down a 200-year-old beech grove.

  • Knole: Sport, Labour, and Social Contest
    7 KNOLE: SPORT, LABOUR, AND SOCIAL CONTEST Dominic Barker, Ryan Lash, Kristian Strutt1 Abstract. This chapter presents the results of the topographic and geophysical survey undertaken at Knole, Kent, in August 2013. Drawing upon a variety of primary and secondary sources, these results are situated within the context of the long-term history of the Knole landscape and its deer park. A former archiepiscopal property, and still an active deer park and private residence, Knole may appear distinctive among the other National Trust properties surveyed in this volume. However, deer parks were once also crucial elements of the landscapes attached to Bodiam, Ightham, and Scotney. Knole’s particular history and landscape demonstrate the changing role of deer parks as scenes of sport, labour, and the negotiation of social hierarchy from the late medieval period onwards. Introduction1 most of the deer park and shares stewardship of the house with the National Trust (Fig. 7.4). To a contemporary visitor, Knole House and its surrounding landscape look very different from the However distinctive it may appear today, Knole, like other National Trust properties in this book (Figs 7.1 & Bodiam, Ightham and Scotney, was a manorial property 7.2). The vast house is now laid out around seven main in the late medieval period. Indeed, construction of a courtyards, dwarfing the plans of Bodiam, Ightham manorial residence appears to have been underway when and Scotney (Fig. 7.3). Walled gardens adjacent to the William Fiennes sold the property to Thomas Bourchier, house enclose an area even larger than the house itself. Archbishop of Canterbury in 1456.

  • The Assembling of an Estate Knole In
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society rehauItia(tantiana THE ASSEMBLING OF AN ESTATE: KNOLE rN SEVENOAKS, c. 1275 to c. 1525 By F. R. H. Du BOUTAY, M.A., F.R.HisT.S. IT is well known that a manor could be created and grow, as well as diminish and disappear, by the operation of land-market, family transaction and colonization, but evidence does not often survive to show in detail how this might happen. Knole in Kent is an interesting exception. Indeed, it is an outstanding example not only of a docu- mented medieval property which became a famous modern one, but of human symbiosis, for neither the lord of the great house nor the tenants of Sevenoaks could have flourished without the other. The tenants were there first, homagers and woodland colonists of the huge manor of Otford which the See of Canterbury had acquired probably in the ninth century. But in the end they, or the most active of them, made Sevenoaks agreeable enough to attract their lord from Otford to live among them, and he in turn through the presence of his great house- hold and vigorous management made Sevenoaks a rewarding place in which to hold property. The process can be studied from both sides through the collection of 130 deeds relating to Sevenoaks properties and families scattered through the Carte Antique et Miscellanee belonging to Lambeth Palace Library.' Its later stages, from about 1450 to 1537, can be seen in 1 Dorothy M.

  • Line of Descent of Sampson Lennard Brad Leonard, Bradsport.Com
    Line of Descent of Sampson Lennard Brad Leonard, bradsport.com Since there is a large amount of Leonard genealogy on the Internet based on 19th Century claims that would have James and Henry Leonard descending from Sampson Lennard, the latter’s ancestry and descendants are included here. There is considerable doubt as to whether “our” (James and Henry) Leonards are descendants of the Lennards or whether they descend from French and other ironworkers. The Thomas Lennard who was the supposed father of James, Henry, Philip, and Thomas was Thomas6 in the following, who died unmarried. The Dacre Lennards were wealthy and titled, meaning their lines of descent were matters of state and inheritance and periodically verified by the Crown. One of Sampson’s descendants was a “Blue Herald,” one of those officials checking lines of descent. If James or Henry had been in line for the title and the inheritance, this surely would have been known and documented to all. The wishful thinking about a noble descent seems to have started with several Loyalist Leonards after the Revolutionary War. Both were descendants of James and had lost fortunes in the War and were seeking recompense. One such was Daniel Leonard of Taunton, son of Ephraim, a wealthy lawyer who spent time in England and later became Chief Justice of the Bermuda Supreme Court. Another was George Leonard of Boston, son of Nathaniel, on whose ships the British evacuated Boston and who was given lands in Canada and resided there.
