The Dering family occupied the local manor house (known as Surrenden Dering) in Pluckley from the middle ages and took a leading part in the community’s administration for hundreds of years.
Surrenden Dering is haunted by ‘The White Lady’ - a former Lady Dering who was apparently so beautiful that upon her death her husband had her embalmed and encased in four coffins (three of lead and an outer one of oak) so that he could continue to look upon her for the rest of his days. She was dressed in her best gown and a red rose was placed at her bosom. However, denying her a decent and prompt burial caused her restless spirit to protest and she has remained with the building (now a ruin) ever since.
In 1952, Surrenden Dering was burnt down in a mysterious fire and only parts of it remain today.
The name of DEERING, DEARING, or DERING is derived from the ancient Saxon baptismal name of Dering and was first taken as a patronymic by the son or sons of one so called. It is found in ancient English and early American records in the various forms of Deryng, Derynge, Deearinge, Deearing , Dearinge, Deeringe, Deringe, Deerieng, Deeryn, During, Dareing, Duryng, Derringe, Daring, Deringer, Derringer, Derring, Diering, Diring, Diringe, Duaringe, Duehring, Duering, Dyring, Dyringe, Dyrryng, Dyryng, Dyrring, Dearing , Dering, Deering , and others, of which the last three spellings are still frequently used.
Seated at early dates in the English Counties of Kent, York, Dorset, Devon, Hampshire, Essex, Sussex, and Hertford, as well as In the city and vicinity of London, the families bearing this name were, on the whole, of the landed gentry and nobility.
The family, like Its name, is of Saxon origin and traces its descent from Ethelward, King of Diera, whose father, Oswald, was slain in the year 642 A.D. Ethelward, then only four years of age, was deprived of his heritage by his uncle, Osway, and was taken by friends Into Kent. His descendants were called Dierans, having come from that country.
Diering Miles, a descendant of Ethelward, was witness to a deed in County Kent in the year 880. In the early eleventh century one Dering filius (son of) Syrodi was the representative of this line. He was the father of a son named Byred, who was the father of Leofget, who, upon the death of William the Noman I took up arms in behalf of Duke Robert. With the loss of this cause, he retired to Nomandy, where he left two sons, Nomanus or Koman and Robert Dering. The first of these married Matilda, sister and heir of William de Ipes, Earl of Kent, and had issue by her of Deringus or Dering de Morinis, who married Elveva de Raytib and was the father of Deringue Fitz (son of) Dering, the first of the family to bear the surname.
Deringus Fitz Dering was the father of a son named Wymund, who possessed lands at Famingham, County Kent. He was the father of Richard, who left issue by his wife, Claricia Shlllinghelde, of a son named Peter Dering or Deering. This Peter held lands in Kent, Essex, and Leicester. By his wife Agnes, daughter of Ralph de Badlesmere, he had a son named Richard, whose son, Sir John, died in 1364. Sir John was the father of Sir Richard De(e)ring, Lieutenant of Dover Castle in the reign of King Richard the Second. Sir Richard married Joan, sister of Sir Arnold St, Leger, and had issue by her of John (see photo above), who married Christian, daughter of John Haut, and died in 1425, leaving, among others, a son named Richard, who resided at Surenden, County Kent. He was twice married, first to a Miss Bertyn and later to Agnes Eyton, of Shropshire.
By his second wife, Richard left four sons, John, Richard, James, and William. John Dering or Deering, eldest son of Richard and Agnes, possessed the lands then called Surenden-Dering in Kent. He died in 1517, leaving Issue by his wife, Julian Darrell, of Nicholas and Richard, of whom the first married Alicia, daughter of William Betenham, and left issue by her of an only son, named John, who married Margaret, daughter of John Brent, and was the father of Richard, Anthony, Edward, John, and Christopher. Of these, Richard died in 1612, aged eighty-two, and left issue by his wife Margaret, daughter of William Twysden, of five sons, of whom the eldest was Sir Anthony Dering, of Surenden. By his first wife, Mary, daughter of Sir Henry Goring, Sir Anthony had only female issue; but his second wife, Frances, daughter of Sir Robert Bell, gave him six sons, as well as two daughters. The oldest son was Sir Edward Dering, who was created a Baronet in 1626. Sir Edward first married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Nicholas Tufton, who gave him a son named Anthony. His second wife, Anne, daughter of Sir John Ashbumham., gave him a son named Edward, who succeeded his father (Anthony having died at fourteen years of age); and his third wife, Unton, daughter of Sir Ralph Gibbes, left two sons, Henry and another Edward, commonly called "Red Ned",, who made his home at London, but died without issue. Sir Edward, eldest surviving son of Sir Edward, the first Baronet, married Mary, daughter of Daniel Harvey, and died in 1684, leaving Issue of Sir Edward, Charles, Daniel, John, and several daughters.

The diminutive church of All Saints at Eyton lies a couple of miles to the northwest of Leominster and is one of Herefordshire's more humble churches.
The building is a simple nave and chancel with no structural division and only a small bellcote piercing roof level. The real surprise is to be found within, a remarkable 15th century rood screen complete with an enormous coving that would have supported the rood loft.
The church is generally kept open and welcoming to visitors.

Paddyfield Pipit
The paddyfield pipit or Oriental pipit (Anthus rufulus) is a small passerine bird in the pipit and wagtail family. It is a resident (non-migratory) breeder in open scrub, grassland and cultivation in southern Asia east to the Philippines. Although among the few breeding pipits in the Asian region, identification becomes difficult in winter when several other species migrate into the region. The taxonomy of the species is complex and has undergone considerable changes.
This is a large pipit at 15 cm, but is otherwise an undistinguished looking bird, mainly streaked grey-brown above and pale below with breast streaking. It is long legged with a long tail and a long dark bill. Sexes are similar. Summer and winter plumages are similar. Young birds are more richly coloured below than adults and have the pale edges to the feather's of the upper parts more conspicuous with more prominent spotting on the breast. The population waitei from north-western India and Pakistan is pale while the population malayensis from the Western Ghats is larger, darker and more heavily streaked with the nominate rufulus intermediate.
In winter some care must be taken to distinguish this from other pipits that winter in the area, such as Richard's pipit, Anthus richardi and Blyth's pipit, Anthus godlewskii. The paddyfield pipit is smaller and dumpier, has a shorter looking tail and has weaker fluttering flight. The usually uttered characteristic chip-chip-chip call is quite different from usual calls of Richard's pipit (an explosive shreep) and Blyth's pipit (a nasal pschreen). The tawny pipit has less streaking on the mantle and has a black loreal stripe and a longer tail. The Western Ghats population can appear very similar to the Nilgiri pipit.
Some of the subspecies in the group were formerly treated as a subspecies of the Australasian pipit Anthus novaeseelandiae and the grouping has been in state of flux. Considerable colour and morphological variation with age and latitude make the species difficult to identify from museum specimens. Six subspecies are now included in this species.
rufulus described by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1818 - found in most of Indian Subcontinent (except for the north-west, north and extreme south-west) east to southern China, south to southern Thailand and Indochina
waitei described by Hugh Whistler in 1936 (not always recognized) is found in the dry zone of the north-western part of the Indian Subcontinent
malayensis described by Thomas Campbell Eyton in 1839 is the dark form of the wet zone of the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka
lugubris described by Viscount Walden in 1875 - found in Philippines; possibly also northern Borneo.
albidus described by Erwin Stresemann in 1912 - found in Sulawesi, Bali and the western Lesser Sundas (Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo, Padar, Rinca, Flores, Sumba).
medius described by Wallace in 1864 - found in the eastern Lesser Sundas (Sawu, Roti, Timor, Kisar, Leti, Moa, Sermata).
Some authorities consider paddyfield pipit to be a subspecies of Richard's pipit, A. richardi.
A widespread species found in open habitats, especially short grassland and cultivation with open bare ground. It runs rapidly on the ground, and when flushed, does not fly far.
The paddyfield pipit breeds throughout the year but mainly in the dry season. Birds may have two or more broods in a year. During the breeding season, it sings by repeating a note during its descent from a short fluttery flight, a few feet above the ground. It builds its nest on the ground under a slight prominence, a tuft of grass, or at the edge of a bush. The nests are woven out of grass and leaves and are normally cup shaped. Exposed nests are sometimes domed or semi-domed, the long grass at the back and sides extending over the top. Nests are lined with finer grass or roots and sometimes with a little dry moss, bracken or other material at the base of the nest. The usual clutch is three or four eggs with greenish ground colour and numerous small brown specks at the larger. When disturbed near the nest, the birds flutter nearby with weak tsip-tsip-tsip calls. Parent birds may also feign injury to distract predators. Mites are known to cause scaly leg lesions. It feeds principally on small insects but consumes larger beetles, tiny snails, worms etc. while walking on the ground, and may pursue insects like mosquitoes or termites in the air.
A species of Haemoproteus, H. anthi, has been described from this species.
7029 on 1Z72 Chester to Dorridge approaches Eyton Crossing (Baschurch) between Gobowen and Shrewsbury. Coasting down a slight gradient and in grey overcast conditions this spot nevertheless makes it possible to capture the whole train.
St Mary, Walpole, Suffolk
Walpole is a fairly large village on the outskirts of Halesworth. I've been cycling through it long enough to remember when it still had a shop and a pub, and what felt like a life of its own, but these are gone now. However, St Mary survives, set back from the road in a large graveyard up the hill on the way to Halesworth. At first sight, it appears to be a fairly run-of-the-mill Victorian village church, but a Norman doorway has been preserved within the south porch. Otherwise, what you see today is largely the work of the 19th century architect HM Eyton.
To be honest, It is easy to moan about churches like this. But here it is, at the heart of its village, open to visitors, reasonably friendly inside - honestly, it is hard to criticize. From the outside, it puts me in mind of Catholic churches in northern France, rebuilt in this style after the destruction of the First World War. This design is also familiar from a thousand municipal cemetery chapels, with its funny little spire and restrained mock-decorated windows.
There are some medieval survivals here. But not many. The base of the tower was retained, and footings of the nave walls suggest it was originally Saxon. The Norman doorway is remarkably well-preserved, suggesting the previous porch had survived for many centuries. It has had an electric light fitting driven through it, presumably by someone who thought it was a good idea.
Even on a sunny day the church seems dark inside, but as your eyes become accustomed to the gloom your first surprise is the rather odd medieval font. It is not originally from this church but from St Andrew, in the centre of Norwich, which may explain its urban solidity. It must be said that it is much more attractive than the vulgar 19th century one that replaced it in Norwich.
The parish have been busy here over the last few years, and one of the most striking aspects of the interior is that the long chancel has been cleared of all its furnishings, exposing a fine Victorian tiled floor. It does perhaps accentuate the gloom of the nave, and modern chairs would look much better in that space than clumpy old Victorian pews.
The village of Walpole is a mecca for church explorers, but they are on their way to visit Walpole Old Chapel up the hill, rather than the homely charms of St Mary. I was headed there next, as I understood it was open on Saturday afternoons, and I hadn't seen inside since recording a programme about it for BBC Radio Suffolk a year or so previously. I came out of St Mary into the rain. It was that horrible seeping drizzle, and so I sped as fast as I could up to the Old Chapel. I got there to find that it didn't open until 2pm. There was no shelter, and waiting an hour in the rain wasn't really an option, so I hurried back to Halesworth and took shelter in the Angel Hotel instead.

In winter some care must be taken to distinguish this from other pipits that winter in the area, such as Richard's pipit, Anthus richardi and Blyth's pipit, Anthus godlewskii. The paddyfield pipit is smaller and dumpier, has a shorter looking tail and has weaker fluttering flight. The usually uttered characteristic chip-chip-chip call is quite different from usual calls of Richard's pipit (an explosive shreep) and Blyth's pipit (a nasal pschreen). The tawny pipit has less streaking on the mantle and has a black loreal stripe and a longer tail. The Western Ghats population can appear very similar to the Nilgiri pipit.
Some of the subspecies in the group were formerly treated as a subspecies of the Australasian pipit Anthus novaeseelandiae and the grouping has been in state of flux. Considerable colour and morphological variation with age and latitude make the species difficult to identify from museum specimens. Six subspecies are now included in this species.
rufulus described by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1818 - found in most of Indian Subcontinent (except for the north-west, north and extreme south-west) east to southern China, south to southern Thailand and Indochina
waitei described by Hugh Whistler in 1936 (not always recognized) is found in the dry zone of the north-western part of the Indian Subcontinent
malayensis described by Thomas Campbell Eyton in 1839 is the dark form of the wet zone of the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka
lugubris described by Viscount Walden in 1875 - found in Philippines; possibly also northern Borneo.
albidus described by Erwin Stresemann in 1912 - found in Sulawesi, Bali and the western Lesser Sundas (Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo, Padar, Rinca, Flores, Sumba).
medius described by Wallace in 1864 - found in the eastern Lesser Sundas (Sawu, Roti, Timor, Kisar, Leti, Moa, Sermata).
Some authorities consider paddyfield pipit to be a subspecies of Richard's pipit, A. richardi.
A widespread species found in open habitats, especially short grassland and cultivation with open bare ground. It runs rapidly on the ground, and when flushed, does not fly far.
The paddyfield pipit breeds throughout the year but mainly in the dry season. Birds may have two or more broods in a year. During the breeding season, it sings by repeating a note during its descent from a short fluttery flight, a few feet above the ground. It builds its nest on the ground under a slight prominence, a tuft of grass, or at the edge of a bush. The nests are woven out of grass and leaves and are normally cup shaped. Exposed nests are sometimes domed or semi-domed, the long grass at the back and sides extending over the top. Nests are lined with finer grass or roots and sometimes with a little dry moss, bracken or other material at the base of the nest. The usual clutch is three or four eggs with greenish ground colour and numerous small brown specks at the larger. When disturbed near the nest, the birds flutter nearby with weak tsip-tsip-tsip calls. Parent birds may also feign injury to distract predators. Mites are known to cause scaly leg lesions. It feeds principally on small insects but consumes larger beetles, tiny snails, worms etc. while walking on the ground, and may pursue insects like mosquitoes or termites in the air.
A species of Haemoproteus, H. anthi, has been described from this species.

Fitzalan Chapel, Arundel, Sussex
Alabaster monument with the Earl in effigy above and his cadaver below. Carved by the master of the Clarence tomb.
John Fitzalan, 7th (14th) Earl of Arundel, 4th Baron Maltravers was born at Lychett Matravers, Dorset on 14 February 1408 the son of John Fitzalan, 3rd Baron Maltravers and Elizabeth Berkeley.
He did not receive his fathers title until 1429.
As a child he had been pre-contracted to marry Constance Cornwall, daughter of Baron Fanhope, however, Constance died in 1429. In the same year he married Maud Lovell instead.
1426 he was knighted along with the four year old King Henry VI.
In 1433 he was officially recognised as the Earl of Arundel.
23 April 1430 he left for France as part of the Hundred Years War, in the company of Henry VI. In June he took part in the siege of Compeigne and later raised the siege of Anglure.
17 December 1431 he was present when Henry was crowned King of France in Paris.
He was made Lieutenant of the Rouen Garrison and Captain of Vernon.
January 1432 he was appointed Captain of Verneuil and in April he was awarded the Order of the Garter.
Most of 1432 was spent recovering fortresses in the Ile-de-France region, in which he was mostly successful, - at Lagny-Sur-Marne he blew up the bridgr t stop the citizens reaching the castle but still failed to take the fortification.
December he was appointed regional command in Upper Normandy.
1433 he defended the town of Sees from siege and in July was made Lieutenant General of Lower Normandy.
8 September 1434 he was made Duke of Touraine and in October Captain of Saint-Lo.
May 1435 he was at Mantes-la-Jolie when he was ordered to relocate to Gournay-Sur-Epte where the French had taken the fortress at Gerberoy. In the battle that followed he lost many men and was shot with a Culverin in the foot. Badly wounded he was taken to Beauvais as a captive. According to Thomas Basin, Arundel was so humiliated that he refused medical attention. The leg was finally amputated, but he died on the 12 June 1435.
It was generally thought that he had simply been buried in Beauvais, however, in the 19th century the will of his squire, Fulk Eyton, was discovered. It revealed that the squire claimed he had recovered the body of the Earl and brought it back to England for burial. For which he was awarded £1000. On 16 November 1857 the tomb was opened in the chapel and inside was the skeleton of over 6 feet tall and missing a leg.
