  • Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without

    Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without

    Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without Thanington Without Parish Council extends a warm welcome to you! Thanington Within Civil Council was created, in 1894, from part of Thanington Ancient Parish in Canterbury County Borough. By 1912, it was entirely abolished and the area given to Canterbury Civil Parish. From 1918, for Parliamentary purposes, both Thanington Within and Thanington Without came in the Canterbury Division/County Constituency. Thanington Without Civil Parish was also created, in 1894, from the part of the Parish not in the Canterbury County Borough. Local Government responsibilities were exercised by the Bridge Poor Law Union and Rural District (1894-1934), later, Bridge-Blean Rural District Council (1934-1974). Milton Ancient Parish became part of Thanington Without Civil Parish in 1932. The first recorded Annual Parish Meeting was held on August 11th 1899 in a Thanington Schoolroom. Following the 1933 Local Government Act, Kent County Council ordered that there should be a Parish council for the rural parish of Thanington Without. A Parish Meeting held on 19th February 1935 elected 7 Parish Councillors (to come into office on 15th April 1935). The Parish functioned unchanged for nearly 50 years, although the area changed considerably in size. In the 1980’s the Local Government Boundary Commission reviewed parish boundaries. With effect from 1st April 1987, the Parish doubled in size, from some nine hundred electors to about two thousand. This meant that there would be seven representatives from the North Ward and two from the South Ward. The Parish boundary runs along the centre of the A2 by-pass, crosses Hollow Lane to the Canterbury to London railway-line, and then runs south, of the line to the A28, after passing through Howfield Farm to the eastern side of Howfield Manor.

PREFACE. THE name of Merriam is now a distinct! y American name. Although in 1638, when Robert, George and Joseph Merriam, the sons of William Merriam, of Hadlow, in Kent, emigrated, and settled at Concord in Massachusetts, there were living at several places in Kent, as is shown by these evidences, a number of people bearing the name, it has now, as far as is known, quite died out in that county, and as regards the English branch, altogether in England.

    Minutes Were Kept in a Specially Prepared and Numbered Minute

    THANINGTON WITHOUT CIVIL PARISH AND COUNCIL AS SEEN FROM THEIR MINUTE BOOKS 1894-1994 Tracing the development of a parish and its Council is not easy. Neither constituents nor historians pay them much attention. And although there are many sources, including the recollections of parishioners, they are often not easily available. And memories are often fallible. However, we can get some way towards understanding them through their minute books. For, while these are far from complete records, they do allow us an insight into the organization and attitudes of a Council as it emerged from the changing pattern of local government in England. For Civil Parishes have never been able to decide their own organization. This has been laid down by national legislation. In other words, they are creatures of Parliament. In the case of Thanington Without the minute books allow us to trace the evolution of both the original Parish Meeting and its successor and, after 1935, of the Parish Council itself. So after looking at the nature of our sources, we can look at the legal framework of local government which created and modified civil parishes. We can also gain some impression of how it was that, over a hundred years ago, two civil parishes were, briefly, created in Thanington. While we know little of Thanington Within we can trace the gradual evolution of activity and organization in Thanington Without. The minute books also show us something of what the Council felt about its place in the scheme of local government. They are an even better source for tracing the issues facing the Parish and the Council over the years and the impact that social change and contemporary events have had on them.
