Throughout this teacher's handbook, emphasis is placed on the archaeological evidence for conclusions about the use of the site, and there are suggested activities to help students understand the techniques and methods of archaeology. The handbook shows how the site relates to its environment in a geographical context and suggests how its mosaics and wall paintings can be used as stimuli for creative work, either written or artistic. It states that the evidence for building techniques can also be examined in the light of the technology curriculum, using the Roman builder activity sheet. The handbook consists of the following sections:

  • Farnborough Manor in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 7 ) FARNBOROUGH MANOR IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES. BY M. F. BOND, MA. IN Volume LVII of Archeologia Oantiona (1944) there was printed the earliest of a series of Court Rolls belonging to the manor of Farnborough, Kent, and now kept at Beaumont College, Old Windsor. Since then the lateMr. 13. W. Knocker, F.S.A., of Westerhara most kindly allowed me to read and transcribe a number of letters and other documents connected with the manor then in his possession.' Difficulties in the narrative that was pieced together from these sources have been overconie as the result of a search in the archives of the Duchy of Lancaster very kindly made by the Chief Clerk of the Duchy, Mr. R. Somerville (by whose permission I transcribed various Duchy records). It is impossible to print the court rolls and other MSS. in extenso, but since they have a certain general interest some notes on their contents are offered here. They illustrate the tenacity of manorialism and the concern of eighteenth century gentry for their manorial rights. The MSS, themselves also provide evidence of place names and of families supplementing the two existing works on local history: Farnborough and its Surroundings by J. Harland Blandford (1912), published by E. Clarke & Sons Ltd., and the Parish Registers of Farn- borough 1Cent (1638-1812) by Henry Wilson. The Manor of Farnborough had been a fee of the Dukes of Lancaster in the Middle Ages."' From 1485 the manorial descent followed the crown, and the manor was accordingly administered by the office of the Duchy of Lancaster.

  • Chelsfield's Casualties of World War I
    CHELSFIELD'S CASUALTIES OF WORLD WAR I We are fortunate that Shaun Brown has sent us a detailed and beautifully written account of the lives of his great uncles from the Hills family. One, William, is on our memorial, the other, John, was also born on Well Hill but for some reason doesn't appear, perhaps because he had moved to Stockwell. Well Hill Brothers in Arms William Hills (1876 – 1917) John Thomas Hills (1880 – 1917) When my parents sent me to board at Cannock House School in 1960 I had no idea that the parish of Chelsfield, in which the school was located, had such a powerful connection to my family. My mother knew that her father, Albert Victor Hills, had come from this area and that an aunt still lived up on Well Hill but not that this had been the home of the Hills family for hundreds of years. When I turned 16 I asked the local rector, the Rev Leslie King, if I could be confirmed only to discover that first I had to be christened! With my parents in Nigeria I arranged with the Rev King for the christening to be carried out at the parish church of St Martin of Tours in front of a small group of school friends and my relative from Well Hill. Lottie Parrott was the daughter of my grandfather’s twin sister Beatrice. She took me aside from my giggling school friends and presented me with a prayer book. “You do realise,” she told me “that your grandfather was christened at this very font.
