Newington History Group


Willow baskets were made in Newington 100 years ago to carry cherries and other fruit grown in the village. It was one of several ancient crafts that have all but disappeared from the area along with malthouses, oast and hop kilns.

Learn more about these local rural crafts when Rochester historian James Preston gives a talk at Newington History Group's (NHG) meeting on Thursday, October 11th, at 7:30pm in the Methodist Hall, Church Lane.

The NHG book, ‘Newington Remembers - our village and its people at the time of the Great War’, has been updated and re-printed. It’s available from the group, priced £10.

NHG seeks to unearth, preserve and promote the history of the village and neighbouring areas. It meets monthly on the second Thursday and an annual subscription is £15. Guests (£3) are welcome at the meetings.
