From The Vicarage
Dear Friends
'We shall remember them.'
It was two years ago, I think, when I first wrote about a Samuel Underdown, who had died in 1917. People often write to the vicar to find our about their ancestors and I usually refer them to the archives, at either Canterbury Cathedral or at Kent County Council's offices at Springfield because that is where the older records are kept.
However in the case of Mr Underdown I did do some investigating myself This was because Samuel had taken his own life and his relatives wanted to know where he was buried. We were able to establish that he died at Rushett Farm, that his funeral was at Norton Church and that he had been buried in the churchyard. (This was not the usual practice for anyone who had committed suicide).
Copies of some records are sometimes kept in local libraries and Norton's burial records are in Sittingbourne library. Comparing these with the layout of the churchyard convinced us that Samuel had, almost certainly, been buried in the churchyard. Libraries also keep copies of local newspapers on microfiche, and there was an account of the funeral and of the circumstances surrounding Samuel's death.
He had been a Private in the Army Service Corps and a few months before his death had been in action. This had left him traumatised, or as they put it in those days, he had been left in a very 'nervous' condition, This probably was why he had ended his own life.
All this information was copied and sent to his relative in Norfolk, who sent this on to the War Graves Commission. On 21st April this year he was delighted to get their reply, which said "the investigations into the non commemoration of your relative, Private S A Underdown are now complete and we agree that he died as a result of his active service and therefore qualifies for war grave treatment," and a headstone will be erected for Samuel in Norton Churchyard.
It is good to be able to report such a happy ending to this story, and we shall, of course, be remembering Samuel on Remembrance Sunday with the others whose names are on the war memorial in Norton church. Remembrance Sunday is on 11th November this year and there will be a Joint service with Teynham at Lynsted at 1O-45am. The combined service for Newnham and Doddington will be held at the War Memorial at 3-OOpm All Soul's Day We also have a special service to 'Commemorate the Faithful Departed, on All Soul's Day,' at Newnham church, 7-3Opm on Friday 2nd November. This is when we remember our loved ones by placing a lighted candle in the church and giving thanks to God for all that they meant and continue to mean for us.
Anyone can come to this service, but if you are unable to come yourself, but would like someone remembered, please give their names to me or to one of the churchwardens at Newnham
May the peace of God
which passes all
understanding
be with you all

Recipe of the month
Chicken with Green Peppercorn
Sauce
A recipe special enough for a celebration, but so quick to do.
The whole thing can be cooked in half an hour, and no need to use the oven.
You will need
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
A little oil
for flying
4oz (bOg) tiny button mushrooms
200ml carton low-fat
crème fraiche
2 heaped teaspoons green peppercorns in brine, drained
3 heaped teaspoons grainy mustard
1 heaped tablespoon freshly chopped
parsley
A thick-based non-stick flying pan
How to make it
Heat the oil in the pan, and fly the chicken breasts steadily for 8-10 minutes on one side until golden-brown. Turn and cook the other side, also for 8-10 minutes. The actual tune will depend on the thickness of the fillets. Push the chicken to one side of the pan, and add the mushrooms. Fiy for about 4 minutes, turning frequently until lightly browned.
While all this is happening, put the sauce ingredients together. Tip the crâme fraiche into a small pan, and warm gently. Add the peppercorns and stir in the mustard and a little salt and pepper. When the chicken and mushrooms are nearly ready, add the parsley to the sauce and bring it just to the boil.
Put the chicken and mushrooms on warm plates, and spoon the sauce round. Serve with tagliatelle or new potatoes and a fresh green vegetable.
Serves 2.
TIPGreen peppercorns in brine are available in most
supermarkets. The bottle will keep for several weeks in the fridge, so tly the
sauce on another occasion. It is also good with grilled pork chops or steak.
Tip Double up on everything to serve four.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION TIME - Stuppington Bungalow Kennels: The kennel owners have applied for amendments to planning permission conditions relating to the exercising of the animals.

WILDLIFE
NOTES.
More news on the local buzzards, with a definite sighting in late August
near Lady Margaret Manor, and another possible sighting near Seed at the end of
September. Tony Russell-Smith also reports seeing a male sparrowhawk carrying a
dead blackbird near the bottom of Straight Hill.
Nan Dalton sends lots
of news of her garde
n
birds. She actually had a redwing in the garden, where it was feeding on haws,
on the 25 September. Nan's also had chiffchaffs, presumably migrating birds,
picking-insects off her fennel plants, while goldfinches have taken seeds from
the Cosmos, and long-tailed tits have visited the peanut feeder. As Nan points
out, robins have been singing strongly over the pas.t few weeks. Both male and
female robins maintain individual feeding territories over the winter, and
defend these by singing.
A few redwings have been passing over Doddington. Like many birds, they do a lot of their migration flying during the night, and their thin, high flight calls can often be heard coming from the dark of an autumn sky. A few fieldfares are around too: I've seen one or two in fields near Wychling. This doesn't mean all our summer visitors have left quite yet. As I'm writing this (on the 22 October), I can see a small group of house martins over the top of Dully Hill; however, this is just a tiny fraction of the three to four hundred martins which Mick Barry saw over Newnham on the 26 September.
Rose hips are prominent in
the hedges at this -time of year. There at least eight different species of
wild roses occurring in Kent, and they have a tendency to hybridise with each
other, making individuals very hard to identify. However, the commonest species
around here (and throughout the county) are
the dog rose and the field
rose. The dog rose is a large, scrambling species with hips up to an inch long.
Field roses are lower-growing plants of hedges and wood-edges, with small
(around half-an-inch long) hips and small, pale-green leaves; they also have a
long-slender style ~vhich protrudes from the end of the hip.
Mick Barry notes that this seems to have been a good summer for oak bush crickets. These are. bright green, slender, grasshopper-like insects, no more than an inch long. Unlike grasshoppers, they are carnivorous, live in trees and don't make chiming noises, Interestingly, the southern oak bush-cricket, a south European relative, has been found in a few gardens in Britain during 2001. So if you do find anyihing like this - alive or dead - in your house or garden, please bring it to me, or let me know. Wouldn't it be great to find the first Kent record for this species?

NEWNHAM PARISH COUNCIL
The following report summarises the main points raised and discussed at
the October meeting of Newnhain Parish Council and, where applicable,
subsequent follow up action.
Low Cost Housing
Councillor
Meakins had provided the Council with a housing questionnaire for distribution
~within the parish. Its aim is to establish whether or not there is a need for
new low cost housing in the village. An advance copy of another housing
questionnaire from Swale Borough Council had also been supplied. Swale would be
distributing this during October. It was decided to defer a decision on whether
or not to distribute our own questionnaire until the next meeting. This would
give Councillors the opportunity to study both questionnaires and ensure that
one was not asking for information already obtained by the other.
Highway Matters
Councillor Woodall undertook to compile a
list of potholes and areas where water collects for Councillor Adgie to submit
to SBC. Councillor Seath will ask SBC to remove the stinging nettles
overhanging the roadside footpath between Newnham and Doddington.
Dogs
Two complaints were received from members of the public
present at the meeting concerning dogs not kept properly under control. The
Chairman pointed out that this was a matter for those concerned to take up with
the dog owners and, if necessary, the Borough Dog Warden. Only if the problem
persisted and the Dog Warden failed to take effective action would it become a
matter for action by the Parish Council. All dog owners are however reminded of
their responsibility to keep their animals under control and ensure that they
do not cause a nuisance to others.
Scramble Club
Complaints
continue to be received about unauthorised use of the Scramble Club field. The
Chairman has written to the Secretary of the East Kent Schoolboys Scramble Club
pointing out that responsibility for policing the site and preventing
unauthoriscd use rests with the Club and the landowner. Although the Parish
Council has supported the Scramble Club for many years, the present situation
of noisy unsilenced motorcycles using the site on nearly every Saturday, Sunday
and Public Holliday is intolerable for residents of the area. The Club have
therefore been informed that, unless they are able to bring the situation under
control, Swale BC Enforcement Officer will be asked to take action to restrict
use to the maximum permitted number of meetings per year whether they are held
by the club or others.
Youth Shelter
An e-mail had been
received from a parishioner criticising the Parish Council for lack of action
with this project. The situation is as follows: The only piece of land
available to the PC is a small site at Wineycock. Residents of the area
objected strongly to proposals to erect the youth shelter on this plot. Efforts
to obtain another plot of land have so far been unsuccessful and there is an
understandable "not in my backyard" attitude to any possible site close to
housing. The project has not however been abandoned and Councillor Llewellin is
to discuss another possible location with a local landowner.
Public
Footpaths
A grant is available from KCC for maintenance, repair or
replacement of styles etc on footpaths within the parish. Those requiring work
to be done have been identified and landowner's agreement to the work is being
sought. In some cases it is proposed to replace more difficult styles with
kissing gates.
Next Meeting
The next meeting of Newnham
Parish Council is in the Village Hall at 8.Opm on Thursday l~ November. All are
welcome to attend.
THE ALEXANDER SPURRIER TRUST.
Christmas Bazaar and coffee
morning~to be held at Newnham Village Hall on 3rd November lOam - 12 noon to
help raise money for the Trust. There will be fancy goods, jewellery, knitted
items, wood turned gifts, aromatherapy products, good as new, cakes and raffle.

A PERSONAL
RECOMMENDATION.
Searching for thst perfect Party Dress?. I went to
Canterbury for 5 hours and couldn't find anything right. I tried Debenhams,
Ricemans, Nasons, M & S, all the trendy shops and caine home foot sore and
fed up. On the Party Morning I went to Teynham (for something else) and saw
'Country Brides' I didn't think I'd find anything' but went in out of
curiosity. It's amazing. True there's a lot of (stunningly beautiful) bridal
dresses and bridesmaids wear but also a huge range of dresses for daywear
(bride's mum etc.) and Party Wear!! I tried about 10 different dresses, got
honest opinions about what suited me and what didn't, had no pressure about
having to buy something' and came away very happy with a lovely dress, simple,
classy, elegent, at half the price of the Canterbury shops. I've had more
compliments in this dress than in the last 3 years!!
Another added plus for
me is that it's local ,and its run by someone local -- Mrs Doe. So go and have
a look - you'll be amazed at what's in there (there's even jogsuits) Mrs Doe
hasn't asked me to write this - she has no idea I was going to - I hope its a
nice surprise -- and won't even know who's written it!!. Its just I was so
pleased 'with my posh party number I thought others might like to know about
COUN!RY BRIDES too.

Coffee Morning for Guide Dogs for the Blind
Thank you to everyone who made this a really wonderful occasion, the
hall was packed with people enjoying a natter with friends, admiring the dogs,
talking to the puppy walkers and best of all spending money! The total raised
was an amazing £381.91 of which the Guide Dogs stalls raised
£185.91 and the sales of coffee, the raffle, the brie a brac and cake
stalls and donations amounted to £204. Thanks again for your generosity.
We hope that next year we will have as usual our 3 coffee mornings in
January, February and March, the dates for the first 2 will be 19 January and
16 February, that in January will be to raise money for the Knit Wits so that
they can continue to knit blankets for OXFAM total to date 793.
