Newington History Group

If you’re interested in finding out more about our local villages and the wealth of history in the area, Newington History Group covers a wide range of topics and meets monthly at the Methodist Hall in the village's Church Lane.

On Thursday, February 9 (7.30pm), hear the story of Rose Hill, a Gothic house built at Bobbing around 1760, and find out details of a continuing archaeological dig at the site.

Richard Emmett, of the Historical Research Group Sittingbourne, will describe how the eight-bedroomed house, which stood behind Gore Court Cricket Ground, was demolished in the late 1970s. After being unoccupied for many years, it was damaged by vandalism and fire to such an extent that locals urged the council to pull it down.

Richard will also detail the discoveries that have been made in the past couple of years during the Rose Hill community dig.

On March 9, Pauline Stevens will be talking about Roman finds at Upchurch and Lower Halstow. Guests are welcome at the History Group’s meetings (£3), and an annual subscription is £15.

The group seeks to unearth, preserve and promote the history of the village and neighbouring areas.
