Logo designed by Michael Birch MUSEUM FUNDS The Museum Committee held its final meeting on 3rd July, to complete the business of the museum and allocate the remaining funds from the bank account. The Charities Commission insist that this be given to like organisations and after much discussion it was agreed to ‘keep it in Thanet’ and therefore split it between Monkton Nature Reserve and Birchington Heritage Trust. Having found that the nature reserve where seeking funding for a new building at a cost of £77,000 the committee agreed to give them a donation of £20,000 with the remaining £1,565.61 going to Birchington. NATURE RESERVE - MONKTON. Following on from the donation from the museum, we visited this “Oasis” of peace and tranquility and were given an amazing tour by Ron. The Nature Reserve is situated in 17 acres of a past functioning chalk pit. It was opened as a Nature Reserve in 1985 but tree planting was started in the 70’s. The land was owned by the then KCC until, with permission, it was bought by the existing owners for £12,000. with a 10 year mortgage resulting in it now being an owned freehold. Ron has managed and obviously loved the site for 21 years and it attracts an estimated 5000 visitors per year. They look forward to having a new building in about two years time. We started our tour in the building which has so many interesting exhibits, with some handling specimens for tutoring l to r: Colin Bowles, MNR Trustee; Derek Good, TCT Chair; Ray Owen, Museum Committee, the children including anatomy of the human body. Ron Stilwell, MNR Warden; Anne Short Chair of Trustees MNR; Lynne Downes-Powell, We were proudly shown the extensive library which is far Museum Treasurer; Danny Day, Museum Vice Chair; Karen Brazil, Museum Chair. more than just a reference library. This is one of the gems of the Reserve. They run a massive second-hand book shop and accept donations of “Natural History” books for the shop.

Ray better had it not been for the wind, however the day was marred somewhat by a report that a visitors vehicle had been ‘keyed’ whilst (Minster Window Company) they were at the show.

I’m often asked why there aren’t Plastering * Rendering Amy more seats in the recreation ground, and I never have an answer, except to suggest they ask the Parish Council, but according to the uPVC Windows & Doors council minutes of their July meeting published elsewhere in this uPVC Fascia, Soffits & Guttering issue, it would seem we may soon get another seat in memory of Sue Repairs to existing double glazing Lovelock.

It is important to note that these lists are indicative only and not exhaustive. List A of this note shows reasoning in respect of sites that were assessed in the SHLAA.

  • On the Landing Place of St Augustine
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 22 1897 ( 123 ) ON THE LANDING-PLACE OF ST. AUGUSTINE. BY GEORGE DOWKER,, F.G.S. IT may seem presumption in me to re-open the question of the landing-place of St. Augustine after the learned Anti- quaries who have written on the subject, so that my essay requires a few words of introduction. I have been led to this enquiry because there seems no agreement among the writers as to the exact locality of the place called Ebbsfleet. In Dean Stanley's Historical Memorials of Canterbury, at the conclusion of the chapter relating to St. Augustine (page 54), he reviews briefly the various places where the event is supposed to have taken place:— " First, Eblsfleet: for this the main, reasons are, 1st, the fact that it was the usual landing-place in ancient Thanet, as shewn by the tradition that Hengist, St. Mildred, and the Danes came there (Lewis, page 83; Hasted, iv., page 289). 2nd, the fact that Bede's whole narrative emphatically lands Augustine in Thanet and not on the mainland. 3rd, the present situation with the local tradition (page 29). " Secondly, The spot called the Boarded Groin (Lewis, page 83), also marked in the Ordnance Survey as the landing- place of the Saxons. But this must then have been covered by the sea. " Third, Stonar, near Sandwich. Sandwich MS., in Boys's Scmdwich, page 836. But this, even if not covered by the sea, must have been a mere island (Hasted, iv., page 585). " Fourth, Richborough. Ibid., page 838. But this was not in the Isle of Thanet.
