Major New Project for KAS

We are in the early stages of planning a major landscape survey project which it is hoped will be one of the Society's main research projects over the next few years. The project (which has yet to be named) will focus on a transect of the Kentish landscape, across the North Downs from Ospringe, to the Holmesdale and Chartland zones around Lenham, on into the Weald to Smarden and Headcorn.

The idea is to compare and contrast the different zones of the Kentish landscape, as well as to examine the links between them in the form of routeways and land tenure. Although conceived by the Fieldwork Committee, it is hoped the project will involve all parts of the KAS, plus local archaeological, metal detecting and history groups, and many others from across Kent and beyond. A project team, drawn from across the Society's committees, is being formed to take the project forward, and Lenham Village Centre has been booked for a study day on Saturday October 3rd at which all are welcome.
