David Killingray and Elizabeth Purves, Sevenoaks: an historical dictionary © Sevenoaks Historical Society Page 6 Introduction Sevenoaks: An Historical Dictionary has been written by people of Sevenoaks for the people of Sevenoaks. More than 100 local residents have submitted research and illustrations for this history, which covers the great estates, buildings, trades, industries, occupations, transport, notable people, organisations, schools, churches, events and themes relating to our town and its environs. Essentially the book is an A-Z of the area covered by the historic parish of St Nicholas (which stretched south from the river Darent to include Weald village), but is flexible in allowing for many people’s modern mental maps of Sevenoaks. When we were planning the book one idea of a subtitle was ‘Nearly everything you wanted to know about nearly everybody and everything in Sevenoaks in the past’. That would have been a near impossible task, resulting in a very long and unwieldy book. Our aims have been more modest: to raise and answer some of the questions that people curious about the locality have often asked; and to do so in the framework of a modern agenda of local history which, we hope, extends and challenges how the past is viewed. So, how to use this book? The entries are alphabetically arranged. Within each entry other relevant entries are cross-referenced, indicated in bold italics. At the end of many entries there are suggestions for further reading, indicated by a name and date in italics which refers to the bibliography at the end of the book. There is also a comprehensive index which enables the reader to find references throughout the book to people, places and topics which do not have individual entries. A couple of final points are worth emphasising. This book has been the work of many contributors and two editors. All have striven hard to present an accurate account of Sevenoaks’s past and we hope this will stimulate a wider interest in our local history. There might be errors in the Book. Please let us know, so that we can amend future editions of Sevenoaks: An Historical Dictionary. And if readers think that there should have been an entry on a place, person, topic or theme, why not write it and submit it for possible inclusion in a further edition.

A small market town of large estates – Knole, Bradbourne, Montreal Park, Kippington and Wildernesse, but also a growing number of new ‘gentry’ houses, many of which are named on the map. David Killingray and Elizabeth Purves, Sevenoaks: an historical dictionary © Sevenoaks Historical Society Page 9 A agriculture Sevenoaks stands on the high ground of the greensand ridge, running gently down to the clays of the Vale of Holmesdale to the north and falling sharply to the wealden clays to the south. The greensand is not very fertile; much of it remains wooded or as parkland at Knole. The lighter soils on either side of the ridge have been cultivated over centuries for various crops. There are only patchy records; a useful overall snapshot is the Tithe Survey of 1841. But at different times wheat, oats, barley and hay, beans and peas, hops, apples, and soft fruits have been grown. Commercial woodlands, deciduous and in later years coniferous, have always occupied large areas, although the difficulty of transport meant that much heavy timber was used locally. Other trees were regularly coppiced, for basket making, hop-poles and housing. There was also much pasture land, particularly on the heavier soil which was difficult to plough; sheep were more common on the chalk downs to the north of Sevenoaks. Most of the produce went for local consumption, sold at Sevenoaks market because of high haulage costs on poor roads, although cattle were sometimes driven to London. After the arrival of the railway in 1862, access to wider markets became possible, so market gardening and soft fruit for London were added to local production. Owen Aisher (1900-1993) Builder, entrepreneur, and founder of Marley Ltd. In the 1920s Aisher and his father established a building materials firm producing cement roofing tiles. The Marley Tile Company began production at Riverhead in 1935, extracting sand from what became Chipstead Lake. During the war, when house building was at a stand-still, Marley was involved in making prefabricated concrete Mulberry harbours for the D-Day landings in France. The company prospered with the post-war housing boom, also making plastic floor tiles and guttering and plumbing fixtures. Aisher was not sympathetic to trade unions in his plant. In 1968 he was one of the highest paid business executives in Britain, when Marley recorded its best ever profits of £4.5 million, and employed more than one hundred workers at the Riverhead factory. Aisher was knighted in 1981. He contributed to various local interests, most notably the Aisher Hall at Sevenoaks School. Sand on the Riverhead site became exhausted in the 1980s and the tile plant closed in 1989, the land being sold for housing development and a Tesco supermarket.

At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

  • Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments
    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.

Inside back cover EDITORIAL This issue has an educational aspect. Each year Reports to Assembly include reports from six schools - Caterham, Eltham College, Silcoates, Taunton, Walthamstow Hall, and Wentworth College (as it is now called). That these are not the sum total of Congregationalism's contribution to independent education is made clear in Alan Argent's article. Although links with the United Reformed Church are now slender (they might be described as pleasant but formal), origins cannot be wished away. In the past year Taunton and Wentworth College have produced attractive histories. The current General Secretary of the United Reformed Church is an Old Silcoatian; an investigative journalist noted, in the course of the last election, that the wives of Paddy Ashdown, the late Harold Wilson, and Neil Hamilton, were past pupils of Wentworth Milton Mount.
