  • Notes on the Probable Course of the Roman Road from Lympne to Dover
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 NOTES ON THE PROBABLE COURSE OF THE ROMAN ROAD FROM LYMPNE TO DOVER By IVAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE existence of a Roman road connecting Lympne with. Dover is attested by its actual appearance upon the diagrammatic map known as the Peutinger Table. No traces of the road had, however, been identified, and the growth of Folkestone and its outskirts has now put much of the probable route beyond direct investigation. Some notes were put forward by the late S. E. Winbolt in his book Roman Folkestone (Methuen, 1925) as a tentative approach to the subject, and it was with a view to testing these on the ground that the present investigation was made. There is general agreement that the existing road along the old cliffs at Lympne represents the Roman road. East of Shipway Cross it bends a good deal and is probably an old ridgeway track rather than an engineered road, but there seems no reason to disregard it as a part of the route on that account. We thus arrive at the crossing of the Brockhill Stream, just at the western entry to Hythe, and it seems clear that the trackway is directly continued by an old lane, now in part only a footpath, straight up the hill north-eastwards to Saltwood, making no doubt for the hills inland. Consideration of the eastward course of a Roman road from this point is very largely determined by the topography, which here shows marked features some of which would entirely preclude the making of a direct road.

  • ELHAM HISTORICAL SOCIETY a Virtual Tour of Elham
    ELHAM HISTORICAL SOCIETY A Virtual Tour of Elham Illustration © Diana Turner Copyright Elham Historical Society ~ Published Issue 6 Page 1 We start our tour in The Square, also known as Market Square, the Nether Market, and “le forum” in a title deed of 1605 on display in the King’s Arms. Only The Old Bakery displays its timber-framing, but all the other houses are older than their frontages suggest, and this was also true of the row of five cottages which stood on the south side until 1940, a medieval row Georgianised in 1730. Had they survived, they would be very desirable today, but modern farm traffic certainly wouldn’t be able to get down to Water Farm. It was the market, granted its charter in 1251, which gave the village its shape, most evident here and in the broad High Street, known as the Upper Market until the nineteenth century. The Old Bakery was a baker’s shop until the 1960s and was used in the 1955 film “Raising a Riot”, starring Kenneth More. The Black Mill at Barham, sadly burnt down in 1970, was also a star of that film. Copyright Elham Historical Society ~ Published Issue 6 Page 2 The Old School House was left to the parish in the 1723 will of Sir John Williams, Lord of the Manor, who had had it refronted some years before. It was to be home to the schoolmaster, and Sir John left various pieces of land to fund the school, and the apprenticeship fees of boys when they left.
