Latest Books
Two new books available this month:

contains over 100 photographs of the area in this decade of much change. See our online shop for orders.
A Look at Rodmersham 1850 to 1955
by Helen Allinson
During the middle of the nineteenth century Rodmersham was a small, purely agricultural village with a population of just 328. The census return of 1851 throws a spotlight upon life in at that date. The men overwhelmingly worked on the farms in the parish
It has been a pleasure to listen to the recollections of those who grew up in Rodmersham and to gain some understanding from them of growing up in a village which, in the days before general car ownership, still felt very separate from the neighbouring town of Sittingbourne.
For UK orders go to our new Shop Portal.
