  • Cemetery Trustee
    - 1 - Meeting Minutes of the Canterbury Cemetery Trustees - FINAL April 14, 2021 – Canterbury Center Gazebo Members present: John Goegel Jan Cote, and Sam Papps, Trustees; Kent Ruesswick, Sexton; Art Hudson, Selectman. John Goegel called the meeting to order at 1 p.m. and welcomed Jan Cote to the Board of Trustees. He also thanked Selectman Hudson for joining us. Jan Cote made a motion to elect John Goegel as chairman, seconded by Sam Papps. Unanimously voted in the affirmative. Chairman Goegel then moved to elect Sam Papps as Secretary and Treasurer, seconded by Jan Cote. Unanimously voted in the affirmative. Chairman Goegel also made a statement of thanks to Hugh Fifield for his many years of service as a Cemetery Trustee, and to the Town as the Sexton. Jan Cote moved to accept the minutes as written, seconded by John Goegel. Passed unanimously. The board then moved on to discuss item 3 on the agenda, the Pallet gate. It has been known to the Trustees for at least the past five years that the Pallet Cemetery gate is in the possession of Cynthia Clark, who owns property in the Borough. The gate is currently displayed in her home as an art display. The trustees expressed their desire that the gate should be rehung at the cemetery, in its original intended place, and that we are willing to cover the expense of this undertaking of returning it to its original home. Kent noted that the posts had shifted over time that they no longer reflect their original width, where the gate once hung, and it might take stonewall work and some minor excavation to widen the posts again for the gate, probably by Kevin Fife.

The Road Name Lookup Table is used to help in locating traffic count road segments that you wish to view by name. This table includes the Road Name in alphabetical order, the Maintenance Road Number(s) that reference to the summaries, and the general Location of the roadway.

  • Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Boun
    Publication: Taking Stock – The Journal of the National Acquisitions Group Authors: Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Bound Together: How 3 Universities share the remarkable Drill Hall Library Edition / Volume: Summer 2014 – Vol.23 / No.1 The Drill Hall Library is one of the many Grade 2 listed buildings on the Chatham Maritime campus of Universities at Medway. This legacy building, originally known as the Drill Shed, was completed around 1902 and was a key facility for the naval base, housing servicemen during WW1 and functioning as an indoor drill area during peacetime. In 1917 the building was bombed and 135 persons were tragically killed. A plaque outside the main entrance commemorates this event and the Royal Navy holds annual dedication ceremonies on the site. The youngest victim of the bombing was 17 year old Archibald Hay, and the library café is named in honour of this young victim of war. Although it was empty from 1983 and seemingly without function, the last 9 years have seen the building take on a new lease of life and it is now full of people again, as it was during its naval heyday. The building is still very much part of the local community with ex-servicemen and members of the public visiting regularly. A history of collaboration and stock mergers existed well before the creation of the Drill Hall Library and the Universities at Medway concept. In 1996 the incumbent collection of the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) was merged with incoming stock from the University of Greenwich Schools of Science and Engineering.

Seated with cap, another brother, George Walter, landlord of the Royal Oak pub, Frindsbury.
