page is intentionally left blank Agenda Item 10 TONBRIDGE & MALLING BOROUGH COUNCIL COUNCIL 19 May 2015 Report of the Director of Central Services Part 1- Public Matters For Decision 1 CHANGES TO CONSTITUTION Members are asked to agree changes to the Constitution to set out the responsibilities of the new Cabinet Members, together with consequent changes to the terms of reference for Advisory Boards. 1.1 Cabinet Member portfolios 1.1.1 At Item 9 of the agenda, the Council will be asked to note the Leader’s appointments to the Cabinet and the portfolios they will hold. 1.1.2 It is proposed by the Leader to appoint Cabinet Members with responsibility for the following portfolios – Cabinet Member for Finance, Innovation & Property Cabinet Member for Housing and Environment Services Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation Cabinet Member for Community Services Cabinet Member for Community Safety Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration* *to be held by the Leader 1.1.3 As a consequence of the above appointments, it will be necessary to make changes to the existing Cabinet Member portfolios set out in Part 3 of the Constitution. Specifically, it is proposed to – (1) Merge the existing portfolios held by the Cabinet Member for Environmental Services and the Cabinet Member for Housing so as to create the new portfolio for the Cabinet Member for Housing and Environment Services; and Page 11 Council - Part 1 Public 19 May 2015 2 (2) Merge the existing portfolios held by the Cabinet Member for Leisure, Youth and Arts and the Cabinet Member for Communities and Health so as to create the new portfolio for the Cabinet Member for Community Services. 1.1.4 The other portfolios will remain unchanged. 1.1.5 The full responsibilities of the proposed new portfolios are attached as Annex 1. These have also been updated to remove reference to any obsolete policies. 1.1.6 It will also be necessary to make a minor amendment to the Executive Procedure Rules in Part 4 of the Constitution, to address an anomaly that arises from the Leader holding a Cabinet Portfolio. Currently the rules require that all Cabinet member decisions are counter-signed by the Leader and Chief Executive. It would clearly be inappropriate for the Leader to be required to counter-sign his own decisions, so it is proposed to amend this requirement so that decisions of the Leader need only be counter-signed by the Chief Executive. 1.2 Advisory Boards 1.2.1 It is proposed by the Leader to establish 5 Advisory Boards to support the new Cabinet Portfolios, as follows Communities Advisory Board Economic

    180 THE POLHILL, OR POi.LEY, AND DE BOKELAND FAMILIES, DE• DUCED FROM THE VISITATION OF KENT IN 1619, BY PHILPOT, AND OF 1633; FROM HASTED AND HARRIS' HISTORIES OF KENT, BERRY'S KENTISH PEDIGREES, AND ADD, MS, 57ll, &,c, THE late eminent literary veteran and historian of Cornwall, the Rev. Richard Polwhele, of Polwhele, entertained an almost decided opinion, not only from the traditions of his family, but from other circumstances, that the Polhills of Kent were a branch of the Cornish Polwheles, which emigrated from the western into the eastern counties at a very early period; in an• cient deeds of his family, the name is spelt sometimes Polwhele, and sometimes Polhill, and the manor of Polwhele in Domesday Book is called " Polhel : " this manor was occupied under Ed• ward the Confessor by Winu» de Polhall (Polwel or Polwyl). In the time of the Empress Maud, J 140, Drogo de Polwhele, who was her Chamberlain, had large grants of lands from her; and this Drogo is the ancestor of the Polwheles 'of Polwhele, and, upon the authority cited, of the Polhills of Kent and Sussex. At what period of time this branch of the family settled in Kent it is difficult to say; but, as it is one of the most ancient in the county, it must have been at a very early period, at or pre• viously to the reign of Edward III. for in a charter in the Brit. Mus. xxvi. 30, 7 Edw. III. amongst other names, appear those of " Edmundi de Polle," and " Richardi de Bocland," the name having been spelt sometimes Polley, and sometimes Polhill.

  • Copy of 11 Sum 01B.P65
    Summer 2011 NEWSLETTER Rachel Beer - the Tunbridge Wells Connection You probably saw reviews of this book in the quality newspapers recently - it seems to have been very well received. It tells the story of Mrs Rachel Beer, a young Jewish women of very wealthy background who edited The Sunday Times and The Observer simultaneously in the 1890s. It is a tragic tale telling of her decline and breakdown after the death of her husband, and the rather uncaring attitude of many in her family, including Siegfried Sassoon. What you may not have realised is that there is a significant Tunbridge Wells connection. Rachel Beer lived here for over twenty years, though in a rather subdued way, first in Earls Court and then Chancellor House. The authors, Eilat Negev and Yehuda Koren, visited the town in 2008 as part of their research. Garden Party This year our Garden Party is on Saturday 23rd July at Mabledon. We are very grateful to Mr Hari Saraff for allowing us to use the grounds of this impressive Decimus Burton building for our annual event.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

Jan. \6th, 1917. TO THE OFFICERS AND NURSING STAFF OF THE ONTARIO MILITARY HOSPITAL Your prolonged stay in this country, in pursuance of the invaluable service you are rendering to those wounded in the course of the war, has given me the opportunity of the further realization of a long-felt wish to make you, who came from your Dominion, acquainted with some of the more historic and intimate phases of our old Mother Country, by showing you the ancestral homes of those to whom much of the greatness of our Empire is due. We have been equally fortunate in securing such a learned and able cicerone as Mr. Phillips has proved to be in arranging these excursions for us, and I welcomed his suggestion, which he has undertaken as a labour of love, of producing this little volume as a memento of the places we have visited.

    THE LADIES de CLARE & THE POLITICS OF THE 14th CENTURY lot has been written about the Despenser’s and Piers Gaveston (who even has a ‘secret’ Society named after him), so it seems pointless repeating much of it here, but I have often A wondered what their wives, Eleanor and Margaret de Clare thought of what their respective husbands were up to, and whether the two sisters ever met to discuss their plight whilst they were near neighbours at Woking and Byfleet? Eleanor de Clare was the eldest daughter of Eleanor was a great favourite of her uncle, The Coat of Arms of Gilbert de Clare (the 6th Earl of Hertford, 7th Earl Edward II, who apparently ‘paid her living Gilbert de Clare, 7th of Gloucester and Lord of Glamorgan), and his expenses throughout his reign’, with payments Earl of Hertford, 8th second wife Joan of Acre, who was the daughter being made from the Royal Wardrobe accounts Earl of Gloucester. of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile. She was for clothes and other items – a privilege that born in 1292 at Caerphilly Castle and in 1306 even his two sisters didn’t enjoy!

CATALOGUE OF THE %mt grcfmeolofltcal &ocitt£& Collections at ifflafogtone. INTEODTTCTION. THE Museum of the Kent Archaeological Society was commenced in the year 1859, the Collection of Antiquities presented to the Society by the late "William Bland, Esq., of Hartlip, forming the nucleus of it. Since that time it has been enriched by donations from various gentlemen, whose names will be found mentioned in the Catalogue. The Society's researches and explorations, in the eastern portion of the county, have yielded a vast number of im- portant remains, all of which have been deposited in the Museum through the liberality of those on whose lands the objects were discovered. The British or Pre-Eoman period is represented by a magnificent series of gold armillse and torques in the highest state of preservation; also a small collection of early gold,coins. Among the remains of the Eomano-British period, special attention must be drawn to the fragments of a bronze statue found at Eichborough ; these have hitherto escaped observation. The intaglio from Eoches- ter is rare and curious, and the fragment of embossed glass from Hartlip is an interesting example of ancient art. A descriptive account of all these rarities is given in the Catalogue. The Anglo- Saxon period is thoroughly representative, and takes rank with the celebrated "Faussett" and "Gibbs" Collections, which are now, respectively, in the Liverpool aud South Kensington Museums.

  • Tonbridge Circular Via Tudeley Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Tonbridge Circular via Tudeley walk A unique church, orchards and a country park of historical interest in the Garden of England. Length Main Walk: 19¼ km (12.0 miles). Four hours 30 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 8½ hours. Long Walk, extended via Capel: 25¼ km (15.7 miles). Six hours walking time. OS Maps Explorers 136 (for Tudeley and Capel) & 147 (for Haysden). Tonbridge, map reference TQ587460, is in Kent, 10 km SE of Sevenoaks. Toughness 3 out of 10 (5 for the Long Walk). Features This varied walk takes in a low-lying area of parkland, farm fields, paddocks, orchards and a country park of historical interest in the Medway Valley around Tonbridge (pronounced Tunbridge: see Walk Notes). It is not a particularly scenic walk but it does include the chance to visit a unique church. There is nothing remarkable about the exterior of All Saints, Tudeley: an old guidebook described it as “obscure and unfrequented”. Nowadays the reverse is true, because its twelve stained glass windows were all designed by the great 20thC Russian artist, Marc Chagall. Initially commissioned by Sir Henry and Lady d'Avigdor-Goldsmid to create a single memorial window after the death of their daughter Sarah in 1963, Chagall was inspired to create windows for the entire church (as he had previously done for a synagogue in Jerusalem and a chapel in France). The final group of windows were dedicated in 1985, a few months after his death at the age of 98.
