The main trail explores the parish of Cuxton,a place of ancient woodlands and historic settlements,with spectacular views over the Medway and a network of dry valleys.Cuxton's heritage really does span the whole of human history - from a Stone Age axe factory to the building of the Medway Bridge . If you wish, you can extend the trail by taking the 'Darnley diversion' into the Cobham Estate. The main text of the booklet consists of detailed directions and information on points of interest along the trail.The back pages of the booklet cover other important local heritage themes. The Lost Landscapes project With grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund (through the Local Heritage Initiative) and the Rail Link Countryside Initiative, the Lost Landscapes project,organised by the North Downs Way National Trail,has been taking place in six communities along the North Downs. People in these communities have been looking into the heritage and history of their area and discovering what it is that makes their parishes special.Their contributions are the backbone of this booklet. The Cuxton Heritage Trail has been carefully chosen to take in the best of the heritage features of the area. As you walk you will find that the history has been brought back to life by the wonderful recollections and memories of local people.

First staged in 1984 from Istead Rise, the NDR continues to go from strength to strength. Over many years in the Runners World magazine annual poll of the best organised races the NDR has been consistently rated amongst the top races of any distance held in the UK. In November 2012 it was described by the magazine as ‘one of the most iconic trail races in the UK and Europe’. For the sixth year running, we have received the BARR Gold Grading for race organisation. In 2016 we were very proud recipients of the BARR Bill Reynolds award for the most improved race in the UK. For the fourth year in succession this year’s race incorporates the British Masters trail championships. The 2019 NDR will again provide much needed financial support to various local charities. We pledge a minimum of 50% of any surplus made from operating the run to charities carefully selected by the Race Committee. Once again, there will be a Children’s Fun Run. This will consist of a 1km course wholly within the grounds of Cascades Leisure Centre. Medals and refreshments will be given to all children who finish. The start will be at 11.00am.

  • Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017
    Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017 Executive Summary The Medway Heritage Asset Review intends to provide a comprehensive overview of the heritage assets in Medway in order to inform the development of a Heritage Strategy to support the emerging Medway Local Plan 2015. Medway benefits from a rich heritage spanning millennia, underpinning the local distinctiveness and creating a unique and special character that can be readily interpreted through the historic environment. The main report is broken down into sections, initially looking at the topography of Medway and how this influenced human settlement in the area, then looking at the development of the key settlements in Medway; taking into consideration the key drivers for their establishment and identifying existing heritage assets. Furthermore, the main influences to development in the area are also considered; including Chatham Dockyard and the military, the brick, cement and lime industry, agriculture, maritime and religion. Through investigating Medway’s history both geographically and thematically, the significance of heritage assets and the importance of historic landscapes can be readily identified; enabling a better understanding and providing opportunities to enhance their enjoyment. Non-designated heritage assets are also identified using a broad range of sources; providing a deeper knowledge of what shapes the distinct local character experienced in Medway and the how this identity is of great importance to the local community. The report concludes with suggestions for additional areas of research and identifies themes to be considered to inform the development of a coherent and robust Heritage Strategy that will help enhance, understand and celebrate Medway’s heritage for years to come.

EXCAVATION The house has been restored by the present owners Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Knott, and during the course of restoration in 1965 it was possible to excavate an area within the limits of the hall (Fig. 1) before the builders laid down a new concrete floor. A hearth was found in the position likely to have been used for a central fire in an open hall, and with the hearth were associated two clay floors and a layer of rubbish 'sandwiched' between them (Fig. 2). The hearth was evidenced by a quantity of packed hard clay, burnt red and associated with a dark rubbish layer containing tile fragments, oyster shells and sherds. The hearth was contiguous with the earliest clay floor found which overlaid a close-packed layer of flints. The sherds from the rubbish layer are datable to a period extending from the mid-fourteenth to the fifteenth century, and being contemporaneous with the hearth seem to confirm the suggested date of the fourteenth century for the erection of the extant hall-house. This is based on the assumption that the hearth discovered was in fact used in the existing house and not in some earlier structure; this unfortunately cannot be archmologically proved for the following reason: The earlier, and lower, clay floor designated 1 in Fig.

  • LISTS of POSTCARDS Introduction the Core of the Society's Collection
    LISTS OF POSTCARDS Introduction The core of the Society’s collection of Snodland postcards and pictures was formed by Gerald Edgeler (1910-1998) and bequeathed to Andrew Ashbee, and has since been supplemented by many gifts and purchases. New images continue to appear, but this catalogue shows what we have and know about and will be updated from time to time. Over time many of the cards appeared in more than one guise – changed captions, with and without captions, changed layout, coloured or sepia or black and white, and so on. The draft list of Snodland topographical cards is arranged according to the numbering in the Society’s catalogue. Alfred Nethersole Hambrook (1876-1955) was a stationer in Snodland from 1901 until the late 1940s, selling stationery, toys and china knick-knacks at his shop in the High Street. (Apparently he also had another shop in the upper High Street for a time which is shown in the images, but no details have come to light.) He had a printing works in May Street where he produced what was required locally and where he also manufactured his postcards, assisted by his brother Percy. The latter were of many kinds and included series made for shops in several Kent villages, which often had the name of the shop-keeper on them rather than Hambrook’s own. For a time Hambrook was also Managing Director of Stedman & Co in West Malling and many of their early 20th century cards bear the same style as his Snodland ones. Most of these are labelled Stedman, but a few have ‘Stedman and Hambrook’.

  • Runners Information
    Runners Information 24 June 2018 RUNNERS INFORMATION Sunday 24 June 2018 – 10.30 am start Cascades Leisure Centre, Thong Lane, Gravesend, Kent DA12 4LG (Held under UK Athletics Rules. Licence no 2018-31818 On behalf of Istead & Ifield Harriers we are pleased to welcome you to the 35th running of this popular and successful 30km event. First staged in 1984 from Istead Rise, the NDR continues to go from strength to strength. Over many years in the Runners World magazine annual poll of the best organised races the NDR has been consistently rated amongst the top races of any distance held in the UK. In November 2012 it was described by the magazine as ‘one of the most iconic trail races in the UK and Europe’. For the fifth year running, we have received the BARR Gold Grading for race organisation. In 2016 we were very proud recipients of the BARR Bill Reynolds award for the most improved race in the UK. For the third year in succession this year’s race incorporates the British Masters trail championships. The 2018 NDR will again provide much needed financial support to various local charities. We pledge a minimum of 50% of any surplus made from operating the run to charities carefully selected by the Race Committee. Once again, there will be a Children’s Fun Run. This will consist of a 1km course wholly within the grounds of Cascades Leisure Centre. Medals and refreshments will be given to all children who finish. The start will be at 11.00am. This can be entered on the day or by post using the form on our website (www.isteadandifield.org.uk) Thank you for entering our event.
