In posting shots on other social media last year, it seemed that my shots at Ruckinge were not as complete as they should have been.
I did call in last year, but due to COVID, the church was locked.
On Saturday, we were in Ham Street so I could hunt butterflies, and surprisingly, Ham Street has no church within the village, instead there is Ruckinge and Orelestone to the north and east.
Orelestone I only visited last year, so have not been inside, but Ruckinge I last saw inside in 2014.
Saturday mornings there is a regular coffee morning in the shop, and I arrived just after midday as the refreshments were being packed away. Another role into which parish churches step into as other civic buildings are sold off up and down the country.
The tall, squat dower is visible from half a mile away, towering over the mature trees between. Clearly an ancient construction, Norman for sure, and topped by a wee little steeple.
Being a glorious day, I walked round the outside of the church, recording some of the finer details, like the tympanums over the west and south doors.
Inside, I soon realised the reason for not having recorded any monuments or memorials inside was that there were none. But I did go and take more shots, some repeats, as I have a new and better camera, and there is always details I would have missed.
I asked about the coffee morning, and was explained that some weeks it is in aid of a charity, like this week, so I gave a fiver to help the lady's relative who is seriously ill. Please take cake, would you like a tea?
They asked.
But I was good.
Just wanted to help.

A large church of Norman origins, the west door being a much-weathered example of twelfth-century work. The south doorway is also Norman and has the remains of two mass dials carved into its dressed stonework. The masonry inside the church shows clear signs of fire damage, and a nice crownpost roof of the fourteenth century probably marks the date of the rebuilding after the fire. Of the same period are the returned stalls on the south side of the chancel - the fronts being little more than a series of plain upright planks, with some spectacularly proportioned poppy-heads at each end. Outside, the upper stage of the tower dates from the thirteenth century and has a small pyramidal roof with needle spire.

RUCKING
LIES the next parish westward from Bilsington, for the most part upon the clay-hills. It is written in Domesday, Rochinges, and now usually called and written Ruckinge. Part of it, in which the church stands, is in the hundred of Newchurch, and another part in the hundred of Ham. That part of it which is below the hill southward is in the level of Romney Marsh, and within the liberty and jurisdiction of the justices of it, and the residue is within that of the justices of the county, and within the district of the Weald.
The PARISH lies so obscurely as to be but little known, it is a dreary unpleasant place, the roads are very narrow and miry, as bad as any in the Weald, the soil being a deep miry clay; that from Limne, through Bilsington, Ham-street, and Warehorne, crosses this parish on the side of the clay-hill, inclining nearer to the Marsh. The church stands on the side of the hill, overlooking the Marsh, which lies at the foot of it southward. The upper or northern side of it is mostly coppice wood. It contains about 930 acres of upland, and as many of marsh-land. There is no village, the houses being dispersed about the parish, and are mostly inhabited by poorer sort of people.
IN THE YEAR 791 king Offa gave to Christ-church, in Canterbury, fifteen plough-lands in Kent, among which was this estate of Roching, together with several dennes, for the feed of hogs, in the Weald; (fn. 1) but it was afterwards wrested from the church, during the Danish wars, and it continued in lay hands at the time of the conquest, soon after which it appears to have been in the possession of Hugo de Montfort, from whom archbishop Lanfranc recovered it again to his church, in the solemn assembly, held on this occasion by the king's command, at Pinenden-heath, in the year 1076. This estate coming thus into the hands of the church, on the division made of the revenues of it between the archbishop and his monks, was allotted by him to the latter, and the possession of it was confirmed to them by king Henry I. and II. In Somner's Gavelkind, is a transcript of a release anno 17 Edward I. of the base services of several of the tenants of this manor (gavelkind men) who brought them out, and consequently it was a mere change from service into money, by the mutual consent of lord and tenant. King Edward II. in his 10th year, granted to the prior and convent of Christ-church, free-warren in all their demesne lands in Rucking, among other places. In which state this manor continued till the suppression of the priory, anno 31 Henry VIII. when it came into the king's hands, where it did not remain long, for the king settled it by his dotation charter, in his 33d year, on his new-erected dean and chapter of Canterbury, part of whose possessions it still remains. The heirs of the Rev. Dr. James Andrews, lately deceased, are now entitled to the lease of it. There is no court held for this manor.
The OTHER PART of this parish, not included in the above grant of king Offa, seems to be that which Cuthred, king of Kent, in the year 805, with the consent and leave of Cœnulf, king of Mercia, gave to Aldbertht his servant, and Seledrythe the abbot, being two plough-lands in Hrocing, situated on both sides of the river Limene, to hold in perpetual inheritance, free from all regal tribute, &c. (fn. 2) Soon after the Norman conquest Hugo de Montfort was become possessed of lands in this parish, some of which were those which had been given by king Offa, as above-mentioned, to the priory of Christ-church, which were again recovered from him by archbishop Lanfranc, at the great meeting held at Pinenden. The residue continued in his possession, and are accordingly entered in the survey of Domesday, under the general title of the lands of Hugo de Montfort:
Ralph, son of Richard, holds of Hugo half a suling in Rochinges, which Leuret held of king Edward. It was taxed at half a suling. The arable land is two carucates. There are now twelve villeins having one carucate and an half. Of wood the pannage for one hog. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth fifty shillings, and afterwards thirty shillings, now fifty shillings.
IN THIS PART was the MANOR OF WESTBEREIS, alias Rokinges, which seems to have been once accounted as a moiety of the manor of Rucking. The former of these names it appears to have taken from the antient owners of it. After this name was extinct here, which was before the reign of king Henry IV. this manor was come into the name of Prisot, and in the 21st year of king Henry VI. was owned by John Prisot, who was that year made a sergeant-at-law, and in the 27th year of it knighted, and made chief justice of the common pleas, (fn. 3) in whose descendants it continued till the 8th year of king Henry VIII. when Thomas Prisot passed it away by sale to George Hount, in which name it continued till the 9th year of queen Elizabeth, when it was sold to Reginald Stroughill, usually called Struggle, who was in the commission of the peace in king Edward VI.'s reign, a name of antient extraction in Romney Marsh, where there were lands so called, and there they continued in good esteem at Lyd, of which town they were jurats, and possessed lands for many years afterwards. From this name this manor of Westberies, alias Rokinges, went by sale to Pearse, and anno 23 Elizabeth John Pearse, alienated it, being held in capite, to Richard Guildford and Bennet his wife, but he being indicted for not taking the oath of supremacy, they fled the realm, and were attainted of treason, and his lands became forfeited to the crown, where this manor seems to have remained till the death of the latter in 1597, anno 39 Elizabeth, when the queen granted the fee of it to Walter Moyle, gent. who sold it soon afterwards to Francis Bourne, esq. of Sharsted, and his grandson James Bourne owned it at the latter end of king Charles I.'s reign, and in his descendants it continued till it was at length sold to Parker, in which name it remained till John Parker, of London, alienated it in 1706 to Edward Andrews, of Hinxhill, and his daughter Susanna, who married George I'anns, of this parish, and left a daughter of her own name, who afterwards married first John Gray, M. D. of Canterbury, and secondly Tho. Ibbott, clerk, and entit led each of her husbands in turn respectively to the possession of this manor. On her death without issue, her heirs on her mother's side became entitled to it, and in them, to the number of more than thirty, the inheritance of it is at this time vested.
The MANOR OF BARDINDEN, or Barbodindenne, was likewise most probably situated in this part of Rucking, and was antiently so called from a family of the same name, who were possessors of it, one of whom, William de Barbodindenne, held it at his death, which was in the 9th year of king Edward III. and in his descendants it continued till at length it was alienated to Sir Robert Belknap, chief justice of the common pleas, who being attainted and banished in the 11th year of king Richard II. his estates became forfeited to the crown. Notwithstanding which, the king, who considered him as a martyr to his interest, granted him his estates again, and among others this manor, which he died possessed of in the 2d year of king Henry IV. His grandson John Belknap, in the beginning of king Henry VI.'s reign, alienated it to Engham, in which name it continued till king Henry VIII.'s reign, when it was sold to Sir Matthew Browne, of Beechworth, who held it in capite at his death, anno 4 and 5 Philip and Mary. His grandson Sir Thomas Browne passed it away by sale, in the 7th year of queen Elizabeth, to Thomas Lovelace, esq. whose cousin and heir William Lovelace, of Bethesden, sergeant-at-law, succeeded him in the possession of it, which afterwards descended down to Col. Richard Lovelace, who, soon after the death of king Charles I. alienated it, with his estates at Bethersden, to Mr. Richard Hulse, afterwards of Lovelace-place, in that parish, but whereabouts this manor is precisely situated, or who have been the proprietors of it since, I have not as yet been able to gain any discovery of.
POUNDHURST is a manor, situated about a mile north-west from the church. It belonged in 1651 to Richard Watts, who sold it to Gadsley, from which name it passed to Hatch, and then to Read, who passed it away to Clarke, of Ashford, and Grace Clarke carried it in marriage to the Rev. Thomas Gellibrand, and at her death in 1782, gave it by will to her son the Rev. Joseph Gellibrand, of Edmonton, the present possessor of it.
The MANOR OF MORE was antiently held by owners of the same name, one of whom, Matthew at More, held it by knight's service in the 20th year of king Edward III. after which this manor of More came into the possession of the family of Brent, who were possessed of it in king Henry VII.'s reign. At length Thomas Brent, esq. of Wilsborough, dying in 1612, s. p. by his will gave this manor to his nephew Richard Dering, esq. of Pluckley, in whose descendants it continued down to Sir Edward Dering, bart. now of Surrenden, the present possessor of it.
Charities.
A PERSON UNKNOWN gave to this parish an annuity of 20s. paid out of lands in Romney Marsh, occupied by Mr. Stone, of Great Chart, which is yearly distributed on New Year's day to the poor, who receive no parish relief.
The poor constantly relieved are about twenty, casually forty.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Limne.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, is a very small building, having at the west end a pointed tower, out of which rises a small slender spire. In the tower there are five bells. It has a middle isle, and two narrow ones coving to it on each side. It has one chancel, and another building at the east end of the south isle, built of flint, with two handsome gothic windows on the south side, and seems to have been a chantry or oratory. It is now made use of to lay the materials in for the repairs of the church. There is a white stone in the north isle, having once had the figures of a man and woman in brass. There are no other memorials or gravestones in the church. On the outside of the steeple, on the west side, there is a very antient Saxon arched door-way, with carved capitals and zig-zag ornaments round it, and some sculpture under the arch. And there is such another smaller one on the middle of the south side of the south isle.
The church of Rucking seems to have been esteemed part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury ever since the restoring of it to that church, by the means of archbishop Lanfranc as above mentioned, when, on the allotment of the manor to the priory and monks of Christ-church, the archbishop most probably retained the advowson of this church to himself. His grace the archbishop is the present patron of it.
It is a rectory, valued in the king's books at 14l. 13s. 4d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 9s. 4d. In 1588 it was valued at one hundred pounds, communicants one hundred. In 1640 it was valued at eightyfive pounds, communicants the same as before. There are about eighteen acres of glebe.
In the petition of the clergy, beneficed in Romney Marsh, in 1635, for setting aside the custom of twopence an acre, in lieu of tithe-wool and pasturage, a full account of which has been given before, under Burmarsh, the rector of Rucking was one of those who met on this occasion; when it was agreed on all sides, that wool in the Marsh had never been known to have been paid in specie, the other tithes being paid or compounded for.
¶There is a modus of one shilling per acre on all grafs lands in this parish within the Marsh, and by custom, all the upland pays four-pence per acre for pasturage, and one shilling per acre when mowed, no hay having ever been taken in kind, the other tithes are either taken in kind, or compounded for. Formerly the woods of this parish paid tithes, after the rate of two shillings in the pound, according to the money paid for the fellets of them; but in a suit in the exchequer for tithe of wood, anno 1713, brought by Lodge, rector, against Sir Philip Boteler, it was decreed against the rector, that this parish was within the bounds of the Weald, and the woods in it consequently freed from tithes. Which decree has been acquiesced in ever since.
“No reason explains war”
From the 10th to the 13th November, our socio-cultural partners and friends in the AfroReggae Band from Rio de Janeiro, will be in and around the state of São Paulo to launch their latest show, “No reason explains war”. Formed by youth from the infamous shanties of Rio de Janeiro, the AfroReggae Band has been an important inspiration and motivation for the actions of our own youth group and especially the Beija-Flor Band.
São Paulo was chosen by the group for the launching and tour of their latest show, which will be passing through the cultural centres of SESC Pompéia (10/11), SESC Bauru (11/11), SESC Ribeirão Preto (12/11) and SESC Itaquera (13/11). The images in this series are from the show at SESC Pompéia. The relationship between AfroReggae and the SESC of São Paulo began in 2001 and extends further than just their circuit of shows and cultural presentations. This year, the choice by AfroReggae to realize the premier viewing of their prize-winning film Favela Rising, in São Paulo at the SESC Pinheiros, was no mere coincidence, not to mention all the other social, cultural and artistic activities already realized in partnership with the group.
The show coincides with the launching of their latest CD at the end of November. The CD, “No reason explains war”, unites 10 songs – most of which are unpublished – composed by diverse members of AfroReggae in partnership with some of the grand names in Popular Brazilian Music, such as Arnaldo Antunes, Nando Reis, Jorge Mautner, Nelson Jacobina and Liminha, besides a new version of Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil’s music “Haiti”. With their unique sonority in the track titled “No reason explains war”, AfroReggae also counts on the special participation of the English Rappers, TY and Estelle.
The performances in São Paulo – directed by José Junior e Johayne Hidelfonso – brings us songs from the new álbum like "Negro Affairs", "I only want you" and “Another Chance”, besides great successes from their first album, like "I’m annoyed" and "Front Cover". Also acclaimed songs such as “Let’s Escape”, by Gilberto Gil and Liminha, “Fly In My Soup” by Raul Seixas, and “What country is This” by Renato Russo, are in the selection.
The AfroReggae Band surfaced in 1995, as a result of the dance and percussion workshops that were held by the NGO in the Vigário Geral Shanty. During the São Paulo tour, the band is made up of Ando (vocals); LG (vocals); Dinho (vocals); Altair Martins (percussion); Dada (percussion); Wallace (percussion); Juninho (percussion); Jairo Cliff (bass guitar); Joel Dias (guitar); Magic Julio (DJ); Cosme (drums); Maílson (keyboards) and Mariana Rangel (backing vocals).
With the passing of time, AfroReggae has also changed and gained new dimensions, increasing the sounds of the drums, bass and guitar. The presence of a DJ put final touches on the songs being composed by the band. In 1998, the first International invitiation delivered AfroReggae to Europe and in 2001 the banda launched their first album called “New Face”.

A apresentação em São Paulo – com direção de José Junior e Johayne Hidelfonso - traz músicas do novo cd como "Coisa de negão", "Quero só você" e “Mais uma chance”, além de sucessos do primeiro disco como "Tô bolado" e "Capa de revista". Canções consagradas como “Vamos fugir”, de Gilberto Gil e Liminha, “Mosca na sopa” de Raul Seixas e “Que Pais é este”, de Renato Russo também estão na seleção.
Formada pelos integrantes Ando (voz); LG (voz); Dinho (voz); Altair Martins (percussão); Dada (percussão); Wallace (percussão); Juninho (percussão); Jairo Cliff (baixo); Joel Dias (guitarra); Magic Julio (Dj); Cosme (bateria); Maílson (teclado) e Mariana Rangel (backing vocal), a banda AfroReggae surgiu em 1995, a partir de oficinas de dança e percussão que eram realizadas em Vigário Geral.
Com o passar do tempo, o AfroReggae mudou e ganhou novas formas, acrescentando em suas melodias naipes de bateria, baixo e guitarra. A presença de um DJ deu um toque final às músicas que a banda começava a compor. Em 1998 surge o primeiro convite internacional, que levou o AfroReggae para Europa. Em 2001 a banda lança o primeiro Cd chamado “Nova Cara”.

Ramadhan Questionsand Answers
Q: How did the fast during Ramadhan become obligatory for Muslims?
The revelations from God to the Prophet Muhammadthat would eventually
be compiled as the Quran began during Ramadhan in the year 610, but
the fast of Ramadhan did not become a religious obligation for Muslims
until the year 624. The obligation to fast is explained in the second
chapter of the Quran: "O yewho believe! Fasting is prescribed to you
as it wasprescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn)
self-restraint...Ramadhan isthe (month) in which was sent down the
Quran, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and
judgment (between right and wrong). So everyone of you who is present
(at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting..."
(Chapter 2, verses183 and 185)
Q: What do Muslims believe they gain from fasting?
One of the main benefits of Ramadhan are an increased compassion for
those in need of the necessities of life, a sense of self-purification
and reflection and a renewed focus on spirituality. Muslims also
appreciate the feeling of togethernessshared by family and friends
throughout the month. Perhaps the greatest practical benefit isthe
yearly lesson in self-restraint and disciplinethat can carry forward
to other aspects of a Muslim'slife such as work and education.
Q: Why does Ramadhan begin on a different day each year?
Because Ramadhan is a lunar month, it begins about eleven days earlier
each year. Throughout a Muslim's lifetime, Ramadhan will fall both
during winter months, when the days are short, and summer months, when
the days are long and the fast is more difficult. In this way, the
difficulty of the fast is evenly distributed between Muslims living in
the northern and southernhemispheres.
Q: What is Lailat ul-Qadr?
Lailat ul-Qadr ("Night of Power") marks the anniversary of the night
on which the Prophet Muhammad first began receiving revelations from
God, through the angel Gabriel. An entire chapter in the Quran deals
with this night: "We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night
of Power: and what will explain to thee what the Night of Power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down
the angels and the Spirit by God's permission, on everyerrand.
Peace!...This until the rise of morn." (Chapter 97) Muslims believe
Lailat ul-Qadr is one of the last odd-numbered nights of Ramadhan.
Q: Is it difficult to perform the fast in America?
In many ways, fasting in American society is easier than fasting in
areas where the climate is extremely hot. This year atleast, the
number of daylight hours will be less than when Ramadhan occurs during
the spring orsummer. In Muslim countries, most people are observing
the fast, so there are fewer temptations such as luncheon meetings,
daytime celebrations and offers of food from friends.....

Explain differentiation This third module of the Teaching series we investigate the planning and design of classes. Professor Eamon Murphy of the Department of Social Sciences at Curtin University devotes an entire chapter of Lecturing at University (1998) to emphasise his view that careful planning is the most important aspect of lecturing.
Apparently I screwed up letting the roundhouse know what time the train was ordered for.
I think this resulted in 5 brownies (demerits).

''Well the farm I lived on was only a small holding, so mainly cows and chickens, we had no pigs or horses. I liked it there helping with milking and collecting eggs in the morning'' Sparrow explained
'''So do you miss the farm ?'' Ruby wondered
''Yes I do, but when my daddy left us it was too much for my mum and I so we sold up and me mum said it was best to come to London so I could get good schooling. I like it here too because I met you and your sisters and crazy cousin and back in Devon there was no next door for a couple of miles so I did get lonely'' Sparrow replied honestly.

“No reason explains war”
From the 10th to the 13th November, our socio-cultural partners and friends in the AfroReggae Band from Rio de Janeiro, will be in and around the state of São Paulo to launch their latest show, “No reason explains war”. Formed by youth from the infamous shanties of Rio de Janeiro, the AfroReggae Band has been an important inspiration and motivation for the actions of our own youth group and especially the Beija-Flor Band.
São Paulo was chosen by the group for the launching and tour of their latest show, which will be passing through the cultural centres of SESC Pompéia (10/11), SESC Bauru (11/11), SESC Ribeirão Preto (12/11) and SESC Itaquera (13/11). The images in this series are from the show at SESC Pompéia. The relationship between AfroReggae and the SESC of São Paulo began in 2001 and extends further than just their circuit of shows and cultural presentations. This year, the choice by AfroReggae to realize the premier viewing of their prize-winning film Favela Rising, in São Paulo at the SESC Pinheiros, was no mere coincidence, not to mention all the other social, cultural and artistic activities already realized in partnership with the group.
The show coincides with the launching of their latest CD at the end of November. The CD, “No reason explains war”, unites 10 songs – most of which are unpublished – composed by diverse members of AfroReggae in partnership with some of the grand names in Popular Brazilian Music, such as Arnaldo Antunes, Nando Reis, Jorge Mautner, Nelson Jacobina and Liminha, besides a new version of Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil’s music “Haiti”. With their unique sonority in the track titled “No reason explains war”, AfroReggae also counts on the special participation of the English Rappers, TY and Estelle.
The performances in São Paulo – directed by José Junior e Johayne Hidelfonso – brings us songs from the new álbum like "Negro Affairs", "I only want you" and “Another Chance”, besides great successes from their first album, like "I’m annoyed" and "Front Cover". Also acclaimed songs such as “Let’s Escape”, by Gilberto Gil and Liminha, “Fly In My Soup” by Raul Seixas, and “What country is This” by Renato Russo, are in the selection.
The AfroReggae Band surfaced in 1995, as a result of the dance and percussion workshops that were held by the NGO in the Vigário Geral Shanty. During the São Paulo tour, the band is made up of Ando (vocals); LG (vocals); Dinho (vocals); Altair Martins (percussion); Dada (percussion); Wallace (percussion); Juninho (percussion); Jairo Cliff (bass guitar); Joel Dias (guitar); Magic Julio (DJ); Cosme (drums); Maílson (keyboards) and Mariana Rangel (backing vocals).
With the passing of time, AfroReggae has also changed and gained new dimensions, increasing the sounds of the drums, bass and guitar. The presence of a DJ put final touches on the songs being composed by the band. In 1998, the first International invitiation delivered AfroReggae to Europe and in 2001 the banda launched their first album called “New Face”.

“Nenhum motivo explica a guerra”
Entre os dias 10 e 13 de novembro, a banda AfroReggae estará em São Paulo para lançar o seu novo show, “Nenhum motivo explica a guerra”. O estado foi escolhido pela banda para começar a turnê de shows que passará pelas unidades do Sesc Pompéia (em 10/11), Sesc Bauru (11/11), Sesc Ribeirão Preto (12/11) e Sesc Itaquera (13/11). A relação entre o AfroReggae e o SESC-SP começou em 2001 e vai além do circuito de shows e apresentações. Neste ano o AfroReggae fez questão de fazer a primeira exibição do premiado filme Favela Rising, em São Paulo, para a direção do SESC-SP, na unidade de Pinheiros. Além de inúmeras ações sociais, culturais e artísticas.
Com lançamento marcado para o fim de novembro, o cd “Nenhum motivo explica a guerra” reúne 10 canções - a maioria inédita - compostas pela turma do AfroReggae em parceria com alguns dos grandes nomes da música popular brasileira como Arnaldo Antunes, Nando Reis, Jorge Mautner, Nelson Jacobina e Liminha, além de uma versão para a música “Haiti”, de Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil. Com sonoridade única, a banda AfroReggae conta com participação especial dos rappers ingleses TY e Estelle, na faixa título “Nenhum motivo explica a guerra”.
A apresentação em São Paulo – com direção de José Junior e Johayne Hidelfonso - traz músicas do novo cd como "Coisa de negão", "Quero só você" e “Mais uma chance”, além de sucessos do primeiro disco como "Tô bolado" e "Capa de revista". Canções consagradas como “Vamos fugir”, de Gilberto Gil e Liminha, “Mosca na sopa” de Raul Seixas e “Que Pais é este”, de Renato Russo também estão na seleção.
Formada pelos integrantes Ando (voz); LG (voz); Dinho (voz); Altair Martins (percussão); Dada (percussão); Wallace (percussão); Juninho (percussão); Jairo Cliff (baixo); Joel Dias (guitarra); Magic Julio (Dj); Cosme (bateria); Maílson (teclado) e Mariana Rangel (backing vocal), a banda AfroReggae surgiu em 1995, a partir de oficinas de dança e percussão que eram realizadas em Vigário Geral.
Com o passar do tempo, o AfroReggae mudou e ganhou novas formas, acrescentando em suas melodias naipes de bateria, baixo e guitarra. A presença de um DJ deu um toque final às músicas que a banda começava a compor. Em 1998 surge o primeiro convite internacional, que levou o AfroReggae para Europa. Em 2001 a banda lança o primeiro Cd chamado “Nova Cara”.

Create your own morning routine to get more productive. Read how I get two extra hours of focused work every morning:
"Don't pity the dead, Harry, pity the living." - Albus Dumbledore
Catching up and stuff.
So, okay. Like. Really excited. This guy in my first period, we have been REALLY close friends since 1st grade, so we've known each other for 9 years. He was my absolute best friend in 4th grade. I mean, why wouldn't he be classified as my best friend?; he explained to me where babies came from. Then 5th grade came and that's when the girly emotion start developing. Before, boys were gross and had cooties. Now, boys are cute. And man OH man did I have a crush on him. And, it was clearly obvious. After 5th grade we hardly talked. But when we did, that boy could make me laugh and almost piss my pants. Then in middle school, we started to grow up a bit. Still talked a bit, he can always get a laugh out of me. He's always been a comedian to me. Even in first grade, he was so funny! Then, he went out with my best friend. I wasn't all too upset, I mean, I hadn't talked to him in 3 years. That was 7th grade and they broke up within a month. I was secretly happy that they did. Now in highschool. Me and this guy have not had a CLASS together since 5th grade. Now, we have 1st period together. World History. Everyday. With the best coach/teacher ever. HoCo came. He was obsessing over this girl, who was one of my good friends, and wanted to ask her to Homecoming. It was so cute. He had a King Size Herseys Bar with a little [golden] ticket saying "You are formally invited to go with Homecoming with (His) (Name). Check yes or no." Sweetest thing ever. I had already been asked. You know, by that guy I always talk about in my other pictures; but it was by text. Not as cute as this..-- So it turns out, she couldn't make it to HoCo with him because she was going out of town, and he ended up going fishing instead. Fast forward a few months. He has this crush on this girl (NOT A FAN OF HER. SHES TOO MUCH OF A FLIRT AND TOTES NOT HIS TYPE). They hung out and stuff. He told me all his cute conversations with her. Then one day, he stopped. And so I asked him "How are you are (hername) doing?" He said "We're not." I asked him "What does that mean?" He told me "She is affiliated with (somedouchebags) (name). And I'm over her." I told him "There are better girls out there, and there is one perfect for you and she's waiting for you." .... FAST FORWARD TO NOW.
He asked me to be his girlfriend yesterday. Never have I been so happy in my life. My best friend, and me, together. It's a wonder he hasn't thought of me before. I had always been there for him, always been by his side. He is completely himself when he's with me, and we have so much fun when we're together.
And man oh man, can that boy make me smile.
I hardly ever study the churches I am about to visit. Rather, rely on my first impressions, and how the multitude of elements hang together.
This does mean, sometimes, I have missed obvious details. But for the most part, I notice what is unusual at the time.
And then upon returning home, I research the building and the history of the parish, and my main two resources are posted below.
Also, churchcrawling can be a lonely hobby, spending hours and hours pouring over details with hardly anyone to share it with. Sometimes, on a Saturday morning, we weekly church clean is in progress, and one or two wardens might ask you questions.Even fewer of them might be interested.
So, in Wormshill, talking to the ringers, I was told that there was a coffee morning on at Frinsted, and a warden might be present.
This was after I lamented that the church was locked again.
So, drive back the two miles and call in the village hall. And ask about the key.
So, this is what we did.
This resulted in a lady taking me back to her house to meet her husband, Malcolm.
Can I see inside the church?
Why do you want to do that?
I explain the Kent church project.
Are you interested in the building or fittings?
And thinking that this was because of thefts, I said if needed I would not snap the fittings if needed.
But Malcolm backtracked. Oh no, you can photograph what you want to.
Meet me at the porch in ten minutes.
So, we did.
The church was dark inside, and Malcolm told us about his church. Very proud he was too.
And it became clear why.
The chancel and north chapel were decorated.
Decorated in the English Gothic Revival, by Hussey and then, later, Scott. These have been recently renovated, using the original stencils.
It was incredible. Like The Grange transported to the countryside. I think Pugin would have liked it.
Sadly, in the north chapel, a plaster panel had dropped off, so the pews were covered and access restricted, but Malcolm unlocked the door and let us in.
I walked round with a huge smile on my face, waxing lyrical about the church, and Malcolm enjoyed telling us the story of his church.
Without doubt, the best church visit this, or any other year.
------------------------------------------
Not for those wishing to find a medieval church, although there is evidence of an old building here in the form of a Norman window and crownpost roof. It is of interest that the nineteenth-century work carried out first by Hussey (1856) and then by Scott (1870) for the Pemberton Leigh family is in complete contrast to the work commissioned at nearby Kingsdown by the family at the same time (see separate entry). The second phase of work included the wonderful stencilling of the church, recently restored to the designs of G.G. Scott Jr. The majority of the furnishings are also Victorian and show the quality that only a fortune could buy in post-industrialised England

-----------------------------------------
FRINSTED
LIES the next parish north westward from Wichling. It is written in Domesday, Fredenestede; in antient deeds, Freyhanestede; and in later ones, most usually, Frensted, alias Wronsted.
That part of this parish northward of the church is in the division of East Kent, but the church itself, and the remaining part of it is in that of West Kent.
THE PARISH extends on both sides of the valley, called Syndall, or Newnham-bottom, through which the high road leads from Ospringe, through Doddington and Newnham, to Hollingborne hill, on each side of which the hills rise very steep, the summits of them being in general covered with wood grounds. On the east side of this valley, on the hill close to the woods, is Rinsted-court; and on the hill on the west, Yokes court, and Madams-court; and still further westward, the village and church. The soil of it is poor, and covered with flints, much like that of Wichling, before described; but the rising hills on each side of the valley are mostly chalk.
There is a district in this parish, consisting of about fifty acres of land, called Minis-hill, over which the manor of Whornes-place, near Rochester, claims jurisdiction.
This parish was part of those possessions which William the Conqueror gave his half-brother Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in the book of Domesday, taken about the year 1080:
Hugh, the grandson of Herbert, and Adelold the chamberlain, holds of the bishop (of Baieux) Fredenestede. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is three carucates. In demesne . . . . Three villeins having seven oxen. There is a church, and two acres of meadow and an half, and wood for the pannage of two hogs. It is, and was worth, separately, twenty shillings. Leunin held it of king Edward.
About four years after taking the above survey, the bishop was disgraced, and the king his brother seized on this estate, among the rest of his possessions, which were all consiscated to the crown. After which, this manor came into the possession of Jeffry de Peverel, and with other lands, made up the barony of Peverel, as it was then called, being assigned to him for the desence of Dover-castle, of which it was held by him in capite by barony.
Nicholas de Gerund afterwards held this manor, with the advowson of the church, of which he died possessed in the 52d year of Henry III. holding it of the king in capite, as one knight's see. After which, the family of Crombwell became possessed of it; one of whom, Richard de Crombwell, was owner of it in the 8th year of Edward II. being younger brother of Sir John de Crombwell, knight-banneret. Ralph de Crombwell, his successor, next year, obtained a charter of free warren for his lands in this parish, and at his seat here, since called Meriam-court, and now commonly, Madams-court.
In the next reign of king Edward III. this estate was again come into the possession of the family of Gerund, in which, however, it did not remain long, for Richard le Gerund leaving an only daughter and heir Maud, she carried this manor and seat in marriage to Sir Henry de Chalshunt, who in the 20th year of that reign, paid aid for the manor of Wrensted, alias Frensted, with its appurtenances, holding it by the like service, as did his descendant Henry de Chalfhunt, at his death, in the 9th year of Richard II. when it was found, that John Bedeford, Roger Tournour, Sibill Jarconville, and Agnes, daughter of Walter at Style, were his heirs and next of kin; at which time it was likewise found, that this manor was held of the manor of Ospringe.
Soon after which, this manor, with the mansionhouse, called Wrensted, and now most usually Rinstedcourt, with Meriam, or Madams-court, and the advowson of the church of Wrensted, was conveyed by sale to Robert le Hadde, who was resident here in the reign of Henry IV. being descended from ancestors who had been resident at Chart Sutton, in this county, for many generations, Rob. Hadde being of that parish in the reign of Henry III. In his descendants this estate continued down to Henry Hadde, esq. of Frinsted, who died possessed of this manor, with the advowson of the church, and the other estates above-mentioned, in the 23d year of queen Elizabeth, leaving two sons, Arnold and Matthew, who was counsellor-at-law, of Lincoln's-inn, of which he was rector, the former of whom succeeded him here, and two years afterwards, anno 25 Elizabeth, alienated this manor, with its appurtenances, together with the rest of his estates in this parish, to Edward and George Hills. Arnold Hadde, esq. after the sale of this estate, resided in St. Alphage parish, in Canterbury, as his descendants did for several generations afterwards, till the end of the last century, and several of them lie buried in that church. They bore for their arms, Gules, three bucks heads caboshed, or, borned argent, between the borns of each a cross patee fitchee, argent. (fn. 1)
Edward and George Hills joined in the sale of the manor of Frinsted, with Rinsted, alias Wrensted-court, and the lands belonging to it, to Edward Jackman, esq. of Hornchurch, in Essex, and he, in the 5th year of James I. passed it away to Oliver Style, esq. of Watringbury, who died in 1622. Upon the death of whose descendant, Sir Thomas Style, bart. who died in 1702, an agreement was entered into by his heirs for a partition of his estates among them, which was confirmed by an act, passed anno 2 and 3 of queen Anne. In this partition, the manor of Frinsted, with Rinstedcourt, was allotted to Margaret, his only daughter by his second wife, who in 1716 sold it to Mr. Abraham Tilghman, descended from those of Snodland. He was a commissioner of the navy, and of the victuallingoffice, and dying in 1729, was buried in the south isle of this church, where there is a monument erected to his memory. He bore for his arms, Per fess, sable, and argent, a lion rampant, counterchanged, crowned, or. He was succeeded here by his son Abraham Tilghman, esq. who resided here till his death in 1779. He left by Olivia his wife, one of the two daughters and coheirs of Charles Finch, esq. of Chatham, one daughter Elizabeth, who married the Rev. Pierrepont Crompe, of Newnham, in Gloucestershire, son and heir of Thomas Cromp, esq. of Newnham, in that county, by Rebecca, the other daughter and coheir of Charles Finch, esq. He bore for his arms, Or, a chevron, voided gules, on a chief of the second, three escallops of the first. He afterwards resided here, and died in 1797, leaving his widow surviving, who now resides here, and one son Robert-Thomas, and a daughter, Henrietta Maria, the former of whom is now entitled to the see of this estate.
MADAMS-COURT, formerly called Meriams-court, as has been already mentioned, passed from Arnold Hadde in the 25th year of queen Elizabeth, with the rest of his estates in this parish, to Edward and George Hills, and they joined in the sale of Meriam, or Madams-court, to Archer, from which name it passed, in the reign of Charles I. to Thatcher, by a female heir of which family it passed in marriage to Batcheler, some of whose descendants lie buried in this church, one of whom, Mr. William Batcheler, at length alienated it to James Chapman, gent. of Milton, whose son Ed ward Chapman, esq. of Otterden, died in 1765, leaving by his wife, daughter of the Rev. Mr. Dennis, of Leyborne, one son, James Chapman, esq. now of Faversham, who is the present owner of it.
YOKES-COURT is a manor in this parish, which in the reign of Henry III. was part of the possessions of Fulk de Peyforer, whose descendant William de Peyforer, in the 20th year of Edward III. paid aid for it as half a knight's fee, which he then held at le Yoke, in this parish, of the honor of Ledes.
He soon afterwards alienated this manor to Roger Northwood, who died in the 35th year of that reign possessed of this manor of Yoke, held of the king in capite, by the service of making his suit at the gate of the castle of Leeds, from month to month, in lieu of all other service whatsoever. His descendant, John Northwood, esq. died possessed of it anno 4 Henry V. leaving his two sisters his coheirs, who entitled their husbands, John Barley, esq. of Hertfordshire, and Sir John Norton, of this county, to their respective shares of their brother's estates.
From one of them this manor was alienated to John Dyggs, esq. of Barham, whose descendant James Dyggs, esq. of Barham, died in the 27th year of Henry VIII. then holding this manor in capite by knight's service. He left two sons, John, who was of Barham, and Leonard, whose descendants were of Chilham-castle. His son John Dyggs, the eldest, succeeded him in this manor, and died in his life-time, leaving a son William, whose son Christopher Diggs, esq. of Barham, having levied fines of all his lands anno 15 and 17 Elizabeth, quickly afterwards alienated this manor to Archer, from which name, in the reign of Charles I. it passed by sale to Thatcher, of which name there were inhabitants of the adjoining parish of Wormsell, as appears by the parish register there, as early as king Henry the VIIIth's reign. These of Frinsted bore for their arms, Gules, a cross moline, argent, on a chief, or, three grasshoppers proper. In the name of Thatcher this manor continued, till by a female heir Mary, daughter of Thomas Thatcher, it went in marriage to Mr. Henry Bing, of Wickhambreux, on whose death, his son Mr. John Bing, became possessed of it. He died in 1766, and was buried in the north chancel of this church, leaving one son Henry, and two daughters; Mr. Henry Bing, the son, succeeded his father in the possession of this manor, of which he is the present owner. A court baron is held for it.
Charities.
JOHN WIATT, of Milsted, by will in 1722, gave the moiety of several pieces of land in Milsted, Frinsted, and Wormsell, containing about twenty acres, for sending four poor children yearly to school, to learn to read, vested in the minister and churchwardens, and of the annual value of 2l. 4s.
The number of poor constantly relieved are about sixteen; casually twelve.
FRINSTED is, within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sutton.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Dunstan, is situated westward from the village, but in the northern part of the parish; it consists of two isles and two chancels, the northern one belonging to the estate of Yokes-court, in it are several memorials for the Thatchers and the Bings. In the south isle is a monument for Abraham Tilghman, esq. who died in 1729. Against the north wall in this chancel, in a recess, is an antient tomb, with an engrailed arch over it. It has a square beacon tower at the west end of it, in which hang four bells. In the church yard is an altar tomb; under it, in a vault, lie buried A. Tilghman, esq. who died in 1779, and Olivia his wife; and the Rev. Mr. Crompe, and Henrietta-Maria, his daughter.
¶This church was formerly appendant to the manor of Frinsted, as has already been mentioned, and seems to have passed with it from Arnold Hadde, esq. toge ther with the rest of his estates in this parish, to Edward and George Hills, who alienated the manor of Frinsted, with Rinsted-court, to Edward Jackman, esq. and Meriam-court, or Madams-court, as it is now called, together with the advowson of the rectory of Frinsted, to Archer, from which name it passed with it, to Thatcher, in whose descendants it continued till Mary, daughter of Thomas Thatcher, carried it in marriage to Mr. Henry Bing, whose descendant, Mr. Henry Bing, gent. of this parish, is the present possessor of it.
In Strype's Stow's Survey, it is said, that in the reign of Edward III. the church of Frethensted, in the diocese of Canterbury, belonged to St. Catherine's hospital, near the Tower; and Tanner in his Monasticon, says, in patent 3 Edward III. p. 2, m. 2, is a licence for appropriating that church to the above-mentioned hospital, which cannot be reconciled to the records above-quoted, in which the advowson of the church of Frinsted is found to have been vested in the several owners of the manor of Frinsted.
This rectory is valued in the king's books at 9l. 11s. 8d. and the yearly tenths at 19s. 2d. and is of the yearly certified value of 71l. 7s. 4d.
In 1640 it was valued at sixty pounds. Communicants fifty.

Alistair Cooke's 'map of America' bookshelf system: Alistair Cooke explaining how he visually filed his books about America to aid a secretary who was not geographically-minded. Books about various parts of America were filed by placing them as if the bookshelves were a map of America - books on California to the bottom left, New Hampshire and Maine top right and so. This means that in this shot, Cooke is pointing towards North Dakota or Minnesota and, so his narration went, high heels were needed to reach books on Canada.

Alexis Corrand art work explained:
“I chose to reboot ‘The Ass in the School’, which depicts a teacher in the middle of a rather hectic class. I liked the reference because of its humorous side.
At first, I wanted to depict the tumultuous side with all the children. Later on, I preferred to focus on the most wacky and symbolic aspect of the reference work, namely the donkey that can be seen sticking its head through a window. I made this choice partly because of the size of the wall and its position, which I felt deserved a strong and visible element, rather than losing passing spectators in an overloaded composition. Moreover, I didn’t want to include certain elements of the original work which I thought would be questionable for a passing spectator, such as the teacher spanking a child.
As such, I focused on this central element and gave suitable attention to the details. In order to frame and enhance my work, I will put my donkey in a false perspective, by simulating wall edges on the back wall, so that you might have the impression that the donkey is coming out of the wall.”

A Springfield woman is free thanks to the good graces of Sheriff Jack Merritt and her unborn baby.
Merritt released her from jail twice against a judge's orders because of what he calls a "high risk" pregnancy.
Sheriffs certainly don't have the authority to overturn a judge's ruling, and Merritt admits that.
But still, that's basically what he did.
"If they're not fit to be held in jail, need more medical attention or hospitalization, then we're not responsible for that,” explains Merritt.
32-year-old Jennifer Jansen Van Vuren is now responsible for herself.
“I think her due date is November 27th,” Merritt tells KSPR.
Van Vuren is more than eight months pregnant, and that was her ticket to freedom.
“There’s so many risks; it was such a high risk situation."
Merritt says Van Vuren couldn't post bail and it was very likely she could give birth there.
“I understand the decision; I understand why it happened.”
City attorney Dan Wichmer got involved because Van Vuren is a city inmate.
Under an agreement between Springfield and the county the city pays for its inmates immediate medical costs.
“We decided to err on the side of avoiding thousands of dollars of medical bills” by asking the judge to reverse his ruling.
City officials say the root of the problem is really the jail because it's always operating at least 40 above capacity, and it becomes acceptable to release some non-violent offenders.
Van Vuren *is* considered non-violent, but she has a long rap sheet, including a pending felony in Christian County.
Plus, she was picked up this time for failure to appear in court.
Wichmer explains, “It’s not a decision we take any pride in. It was something we had to do given the potential cost to the taxpayers."
Because the judge agreed to reverse his ruling Merritt will not be held in contempt in court.
There is also a Missouri statute that offers him some protection; it allows the sheriff to turn away inmates unfit to be confined.
