Kent memories
The Taylors
My grandfather who I never knew was Albert George Taylor, born in Petham 1886. He was killed in France on Christmas Eve 1914. His father was Frederick and mother Elizabeth Taylor, he had brothers and sisters: Thomas, Frederick, Rosa, Edith.
I currently live in Adelaide, South Australia and would be pleased to hear from anyone who could give me some information as to the history of this family, or any know relatives, unfortunately my mother Ethel Taylor lost contact with the family after his death.

Godmersham Post Office
We visited and stayed at the Post Office, village shop and off licence in 1973. My mother Mrs Oliver had just taken over as Post Mistress. My mother had given up a teaching post in Liverpool to be nearer her own mother who lived in Westgate on Sea. She ran it until 1982 when she retired to Herne Bay and took up freelance teaching in her spare time. I would be interested to know of any history relating to the Post Office as it had a lovely garden and was an interesting building
Service
In the early 1940s Mystole House was one of the first places my Regiment used as a billet for one of the Batteries of Artillery as part of the defence of the South Coast Defence scheme on stand by in the event of invasion by the German forces in the Second World War. I do in fact have a photograph of the Battery in front of the House. Memories of the area are still very vivid in my mind.
The Manleys
I was born here on 10/11/1946, my parents were Mr Norman Charles Manley and Mrs Winafred Ann Manley, we moved to Westwell in 1950.
The Old Mill
The mill bridge shown in the photograph was washed away in a flood in the 1960's. Unfortunately the mill pond was a favourite place for some children to swim in then. We lost one of the children on the hospital estate by drowning there in the pond, whose name was Billy Johnson, whose parents worked as nurses at St Augustine's in 1963. He is buried in Chartham cemetery.
Beech House
Beech House was the school attached to St. Augustines,which used to be the County Asylum. I was there from 1964-66. I always found the people of Chartham top be lovely and kind. I remember walks down to the church and mill,and waiting on the station to go home for the holidays. I have only fond memories of Chartham and it's people
Asylum
My ancestor Jecoliah Coleman (nee Roberts) was admitted to the Chartham asylum in the late 1800's, and died here in 1915. She had a husband and 2 sons still alive so I wonder why she needed to be admitted, poor woman.
