The Ian Coulson Annual Bursary

The Ian Coulson Annual Bursary for local history/archaeology in Kent schools has been established by the Kent Archaeological Society in memory of Ian Coulson. Ian was Adviser for History in Kent schools for over 25 years and, at the time of his premature death in 2015, President of the Kent Archaeological Society. Teachers in Kent schools are invited to apply for the bursary to develop classroom resources based on Kent’s local history and/or archaeology, two of Ian’s great passions. It is open to teachers in both primary and secondary schools.

New publication: The Lower Lines, Brompton

Submitted by Jay Curtis on 24 July 2023

Excavations of the 19th and 20th-century defenses of Chatham Dockyard at The Lower Lines, Brompton feature in a new Canterbury Archaeological Trust report by James Holman and Peter Kendall.

 

An interesting site encompassing the fortifications (including an unusual underground countermining chamber), with lots of evidence recorded for siege practices undertaken against them by the military throughout the latter part of the nineteenth century.
