Jubilee Celebrations
Monday 3 June
The Committee of the Lyminge Association welcomes anyone who would
wish to join them, to Tayne Field from about 9.30pm (yes!...in the evening!)
to an informal gathering prior to lighting the Beacon. In Lyminge we
are in the sector of Beacon-lighting for 10.15pm. We will erect a
small marquee and have a barbecue lit – so if you would like to bring your
own food and refreshments, you will be able to cook on the barbecue.
Hope to see you there! More information from Liz on 863197.

The coins are now on order – thank you to everyone for responding
with names of children who are eligible for this small token of the Jubilee.

A Lyminge Village Hall Management Committee Event
News from the Parish Council
Quiet Lanes
Lyminge is one of eight parish councils being invited to participate in
a local “Quiet Lanes” initiative, which is being co-ordinated by
Postling Parish Council, and funded by Kent County Council and other
agencies. The project would identify a network of lanes, bridleways, and
footpaths to create circuits for walkers, riders, and cyclists. Each
household will be sent an information pack and questionnaire to help
identify suitable lanes and paths.
News from Kent County Council
Councillor John Palmer reported that KCC is proposing to introduce a
six-term school year from 2003, and will be asking parents for their views.
KCC is funding ten community wardens to support the police service. The
wardens, one of whom will be based in Elham, will target petty crime and bad
behaviour. The budget for Kent Police has been increased, so that 100 more
officers can be recruited by the end of 2003. The increase will include 50
extra rural officers.
News from Shepway District Council
Councillor David Monk reported that a firm has been appointed to build the
new shopping precinct in Folkestone. Work has now started on the new
conference centre attached to the Leas Cliff Hall.
Wheelie bins have been introduced across the District, which has resulted in
a substantial decrease in the need for street cleaning.
Code of conduct
Lyminge Parish Council has adopted the code of conduct proposed by
Shepway District Council. As a result, all parish councillors have
registered their financial and business interests.
Next meeting
The next Parish Council meeting is on 24 June, 7.30 pm at Lyminge Village
Hall.

Letter to the Editor
From Mrs. Janet Turner
“I
was quite saddened to read the article in the Times suggesting that Lyminge
was a crime and drug-ridden village. I am not naïve enough to imagine
that drug-taking and crimes do not happen here, but not on the grand scale
suggested in the article.
“In
my 15 years in the village I have found it to be a safe and law-abiding
society and I for one, am certainly not afraid to walk through the village
after dark.
“May
I suggest whoever spoke to the reporter read the crime figures published by
the Police for the Shepway Area for the year 2000-2001 if they need
re-assurance.”

All those who attended the Company’s previous production last year

Traditional characters such as, Pantalone, Harlequin and Colombine will be
recognised in this riotous new play, where the setting is 1793 Islington.
Babi Babett is the servant of Sydney Lean, a rich but deeply mean retired
goldsmith – and the plot seems to have something to do with sausages (!).

cost £9.00 for adults, £8.00 for senior citizens and £5.00 for children,

great afternoon for discussions. Four ladies were guests at Bloomfield

Merrymouth’s
Field.
Amongst the Lyminge charters and deeds in the
British Library Manuscripts department there is a grant by Thomas atte Wode
of Canterbury to Thomas Oldefeld of Longeheigge of the parish of Lyminge of
eleven acres of land called Merymouthysfeld in the parish of Lyminge.
The deed says that the field lay between the lands of John Scot, knight and
Hamon Kete towards the East and land of the heirs of Andrew Wodehyll and the
land of the manor of Sypton towards the South and a certain field called
Paynesfeld towards the West and land lately Thomas Rode towards the North.
The land had previously been purchased by Thomas atte Wode from John Derby
late of Canterbury deceased.
The document was dated at Lyminge 15 October
1461 and witnessed by Richard Wodehyll chaplain, John Stokys junior, Hamon
Kete, James Wodehyll, John Jenkyns junior.[1]
Longeheigge is identified as Longage by Dr
Paul Cullen, The Place-Names of the Lathes of St Augustine & Shipway
(Sussex University Thesis, 1997) and J. K. Wallenberg, The Place-Names of
Kent, (Uppsala 1934) taken from their only reference a Feet of Fine of
1322. From Old English the word lang ‘long’ + hecg
‘hedge, enclosure’. In this document at the Public Record Office
William Edwy of Hethe [Hythe] purchased, the day after the feast of All
Souls in the sixteenth year of the reign of King Edward II [4 November
1322], from Stephen son of Stephen of Longehegge and Joanna his wife for £20,
12 acres of land, 54 acres of pasture, 2 acres of wood, 2s 2d in rent, the
rent of one hen and the half of one messuage with appurtenances all in
Lyminge (here spelt Lymmyng’).[2]
Cullen comments that this new form is useful in that it confirms that the
<h> of the 1322 Longehegge should indeed be taken seriously, thus
supporting the derivation from OE hecg ‘a hedge’.
Sypton can be identified as the manor of
Sibton but I have been unable to find a modern reference to either
Paynesfeld or Merymouthysfeld either through the tithe
apportionment of 1840 or the six inch
ordnance survey maps of the 1920 period. It is also interesting that
we have land North of Sibton formerly owned by Thomas Rode. Persons of
this name in or before the 14th century are said to have taken
their name from the area of what is now Rhodes Farm and Rhodes Minnis.
Minnis is derived from gemænnes meaning land held in common and Rode
from OE rodu, a clearing in a forest or assart.
I had originally transcribed Merymouthysfeld
and then decided, that as u and n are indistinguishable in this hand, that
Merymonthysfeld sounded much better. Allusions to Mayfield and summer
pastures I thought . However, I am very grateful to Paul Cullen for
setting me back on the right track.[3]
Cullen says that this is derived from a surname Merrimouth, (OE myrge
'merry' + mūð 'mouth') which is found elsewhere in Kent.[4]
Following this up I found Reaney had in fact
taken it from a Final Concord dated in the Octave of St Hilary 12 Edward II,
which means between 23 January & 12 February 1319 between Thomas de
Boywyk’ the plaintiff and Master Adam Murimouth’ deforciant of 1
messuage, 1 carucate of land, 16 acres of wood and 30s rent and the rent of
50 hens, with appurtenances in Elham.[5]
So just up the road and justifying Cullen’s assertion that he thought it
was very unlikely to be variant of Merriment, itself usually assumed to be a
variant (though he haven't seen any data to support this assumption) of
Merriman (OE myrge 'merry' + mann 'man') which is found in
Kent.[6]
What of Richard Wodehyll the chaplain?
He was a priest possibly of a chapel within the parish church of Lyminge;
although no mention is made of a chantry by Hussey, it may be that his stay
was brief in accordance with the funds provided by his benefactor.[7]
His main duty would have been to say or sing Mass for the souls of the
founder possibly also his family and friends and he may also act as a curate
for the parish and even a schoolmaster. Hussey, does however in
another book record that in 1548 a rent of 2s 2d yearly was payable from
unspecified lands to maintain a lamp in the church.[8]
A glance at the will indexes for the 15th
century show a number of Woodhill and variant entries for the parish of
Lyminge (the years are that of probate, normally fairly soon after the
decease of the testator) and one may relate to one of the witnesses to our
deed. Henry Wodell, 1464; William Wodhill, 1465; Agnes Wodehill, 1476;
James Wodehell, 1477, John Wodell, 1483. Hopefully further
investigation of these wills may mention Richard.

 Gardening
Hints
A busy month ahead! Hang up the hanging baskets, place the
patio pots, prepare to plant your annuals and vivify your vegetables!
However, do take time off to visit the many private gardens in Kent open to
the public under the National Gardens Scheme, for charity. A booklet
is available from the Library for 50p. Also watch the local press for
details of Garden Safaris in the area and flower shows. They are all
great places to get ideas of plants and planting for your own garden and a
pleasant and restful way to spend a few hours. Refreshments are
usually available at all the venues.

Conservatories, Windows and Doors
We manufacture beautiful double-glazed PVC-u units in
our own factory to exacting standards. We can also boast of
being only one of five companies in the UK manufacturing the
fantastic slim-line Marshall Tufflex system Vertical Sliding Sash
Window, which caries a severe weather rating. So,
if you have old box sash style windows and believe PVC-u would look
out of place, think again! Maintenance free, sealed units,
spring loaded balances, slim-line appearance and decorative 'horns'
make our Vertical Slider one of the best on the market.
Remember, we are suppliers to the trade both in the UK and Europe -
they know a good window when they see one!
