  • 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.

  • Some Major Kentish Timber Barns
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society idiniujjia Gutiana SOME MAJOR KENTISH TIMBER BARNS By S. E. RIGOLD, F.S.A. THREE particularly grievous recent losses among the timber barns of Kent have come after decades of undocumented destruction.' In April, 1962, the unique and beautifully maintained barn at Nettlestead Place was accidentally burned; the smaller and less well preserved of the splendid pair at Court Lodge Farm, Lenham, was fired by two local urchins in September, 1962; late in 1965 the barn at Davington Court, the finest of its somewhat later sort, was demolished after a strenuous search for a use for it amid new housing, though it will be re-erected, at least in part, at East Haxted Farm, Edenbridge. These three were well recorded; Davington was the subject of a detailed survey by Mr. W. G. Prosser of the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, to which the writer is grateful for their permission to publish it here, while Nettlestead and Lenham were studied by Professor Walter W. Horn and Mr. Ernest Born of the University of California,2 who have been most generous in communicating all their information and draw- ings for comparison with the author's own, and allowing him to publish their photographs. He had made independent notes of these barns while they were standing, and, with the assistance of Mr. Kenneth Gravett, by way of an autopsy, after their destruction. Although some details must remain problematic, the collation of this evidence sufficed for 'obituaries' of lost scheduled Ancient Monuments.
