Part of Lower Halstow in Upchurch
 |
Concrete posts with H carved on one side and U on the other can still be seen in the area. |
During the early eighteenth century the body of a drowned sailor was washed ashore at Bayford.
When approached the overseers of Upchurch refused to allow the body to be buried in the churchyard but Lower Halstow accepted. This led to the owner of the land at Ham Green and Bayford presenting the parish of Lower Halstow a gift of 150 acres of land in the area. It was returned to the parish of Upchurch in 1882 but residents living at Ham Green from the house known as Greylag across to the lower half of Poot Lane did not have ecclesiastical rights in the village until the early 1960s.
Concrete posts with H carved on one side and U on the other can still be seen in the area marking the boundary between Upchurch and Lower Halstow.
These days all of Ham Green, Bayford and the area in the lower half of Poot Lane belong to the parish of Upchurch.
It's amazing what happens during the course of history.

Karl Clifton is Walking Over 600 Miles to Raise Money for Cancer Research UK
 |
Walking over 600 miles across Spain (unsupported) in May and June 2019 for Cancer Research UK because of losing loved ones to Cancer. |
Starting on Thursday 23rd May 2019, I am walking solo (not in a group, no guide, no vehicle to transport rucksack) across the whole of Northern Spain.
From Irún on the French/Spanish border, along the Camino del Notre, crossing a mountain range near Oviedo, where I will continue on the Camino Primitivo to the destination of an old pilgrimage some 550 miles later at Santiago de Compostela.
If time and knees allow, I will continue a further 55 miles to Cape Finisterre (the believed most westerly point in the known world prior to Columbus).
I am giving myself 5 weeks to complete the walk. Plan being, walk 100 miles in 5 days, rest 1 day and then start again. To finish the 600+ miles towards the end of June.
As I said at the start, most people have been touched by this awful illness in one way or another. ALL money raised will be given to Cancer Research UK, I am paying all the expenses incurred during the event myself.
Please give whatever you wish to try and combat this terrible disease at: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/karl-clifton
Or if you prefer, you can donate in person using my sponsor form on the bar at The Three Tuns, Lower Halstow. The pub is collecting your donations on my behalf.
Thank you
Thank you
Karl Clifton
