  • Ridgeway House Ridgeway | Shorne | DA12 3LW Ridgeway House
    Ridgeway House Ridgeway | Shorne | DA12 3LW Ridgeway House Ridgeway House contains all the pleasing attributes of late Georgian domestic architecture. The façade has the large attractive windows of its period with the addition of two Victorian bays. This impressive frontage attracted the present owners, David and Tanya, who were immediately enchanted by the warm, inviting interior and stunning garden. The house was in need of some care and attention, and it was with great love and scrupulous attention to detail, that they restored the house to its original elegance. The rooms have the space, symmetry and balance of their period which make the house an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and spacious home; and the perfect venue for large gatherings of family and friends. The family eat in the dining room on a daily basis, and as the house is in an elevated position they can enjoy watching the world go by, through the large bay window. For more formal entertaining it transforms into a stylish setting, where you can experience a sense of how the room must have been in its own time. The house has a bright and positive ambience throughout, and the double aspect in the sitting room make it a particularly pleasant airy room. It is an all year room where the family relax each evening. They fling open the patio doors in the summer, and sit cosily by the open fire in winter. The well equipped kitchen is a busy area where you can enjoy a leisurely chat at the breakfast bar, or take your morning coffee out to the patio.

First staged in 1984 from Istead Rise, the NDR continues to go from strength to strength.

For the fourth year running, we have received the BARR Gold Grading for race organisation. Last year we were very proud recipients of the BARR Bill Reynolds award for the most improved race in the UK.

  • The Ruined Chapel of St Katherine at Shorne, Kent. Part II
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 23 1898 THE ETJINED CHAPEL OF ST. KATHERINE AT SHOIINE, KENT. PAET II. BY GEORGE M. ARNOLD, F.S.A. SINCE my communication upon this Chantry, which appeared on pp. 195—202 of Yol. XX. of Archceologia Gantiana, the follow- ing additional information has come to hand in reference to the building, the history of which was so obscure, that not only all circumstances of its foundation, but even the Saint of its dedication had been utterly lost. Mr. Leland L, Duncan, in writing his Notes of Wills proved in the Rochester Consistory Court, has very kindly drawn niy attention to a will of Thomas Davy of " Shornstrete " (book vii., fol. 77A), bearing date A.D. 1516, and attested by Sir Thomas Elys, in which (he states) there occurs the following bequest:— " To the reparacion of Saynfc Kateren Chapell half a quarter of Barley." It appears from such information as I can obtain that the Parish Church of Shorne contained neither altar, nor chapel dedicated to St. Katherine—hence that this legacy referred to the present building seems probable, if not incontestable. If the witness, Sir Thomas Elys (who, according to Hasted, died Vicar of Shorne on the 18th Marcli 1569) was (as I suppose) the then vicar, he affords a tolerable refutation in his own person of the idea that Shorne was at those periods an unhealthy parish, suffering often from the prevalence of ague; for protection against which a Saint " Sir John Schorne " was popularly invoked. I do not know that the Saint possessed other shrines in Kent than at Shorne, at Lower Hnlstow, and at Canterbury Cathedral, though it is stated by one author that the adjoining Parish Church of Merston (probably in error for a parish in Bucks) contained one; but that he was venerated in the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk, Bucks, and Berks we possess much evidence.

  • Cobham and Its Manors, Etc
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 27 1905 ( 110 ) COBHAM AND ITS MANGES, ETC. BY A. A. ARNOLD, F.S.A. HAVING "been for many years connected with Cobham College as the Paymaster of that charity, I was lately asked to write a Paper about the College, and in collecting the materials for it I came into possession of some documents, of more or less interest, not imme- diately connected with the College, but relating to Cobham, and I have ventured to write this second Paper, making such use as I could of these materials. Hasted and other Kentish writers state that in addition to the Manor of Cobham or Cobham Hall there were also in the parish the lesser manors of Henhurst, Haydon or Hoden Fee, afterwards called The Mount, and Cobhambury. Some of the terriers of the College lands refer to other manors, viz., Vyands (spelt in various ways) and North Court; and this Paper deals with them all. The two most ancient manors are, no doubt, Henhurst and Hoden Fee. These are both mentioned in Domesday, and also in the Anglo-Saxon record relating to Rochester Bridge* preserved in the Textus Rq/ensis, and in the Archives of Canterbury Cathedral; it dates from the eleventh century or perhaps earlier. HENHTJEST. Henhurst; is thus described in Domesday (quoted from the Rev. L. Larking's translation, p. 123) :— " Ansgot de Roucestre holds Hanhest, it answers for half a suling, there is the arable of one team. In demesne there is one team, and two villans, with four slaves. In the time of King Edward it was worth twenty shillings, when he received it thirty shillings, now forty shillings.
