The revival of the great British cherry
When it comes to cherries, the English grown variety are hard to beat. That is why the news that our once ailing cherry industry is back in good health again after a long decline in the late 20th century is so heart-warming for fruit lovers. Incredibly, the British cherry industry was on its last legs at the turn of the Millennium and at that time we as a nation produced just 400 tonnes a year - a paltry amount compared to what we were producing during the industry's heighday in the post-years.
To give some comparison, this year, thanks to newer, more manageable tree varieties and new growing techniques British growers will produce around 2000 tonnes during this year's eight-week UK season which lasts until the end of August. And because of their great reputation the British grown cherries are expected to be snapped up as soon as they go on sale. Growers have calculated that if all goes according to plan, they will be able to completely satisfy the UK's annual cherry demand of 9000 tonnes by the end of the decade. Tom Hulme is a cherry farmer based near Canterbury, Kent, who was tempted into the business after the arrival of easier to manage trees.

Almost a million pupils currently attend a Church of England school.
In his first broadcast interview since David Cameron said Britain should be confident in its status as a Christian country, Archbishop Welby supported the Prime Minister's view.

Antique Rococo Revival Figural Carved Sofa Couch Settee
sillafineantiques.com
Impressive Rococo Revival Figural Carved Yellow Upholstered Sofa
Probably England, c. 1870-90
Item # 120010OWP22
See details of this piece at:
An noteworthy work of art, this piece from the height of the Rococo Revival era is quite an accomplishment. Crafted pillars of solid walnut, the female figurals flow in form, carrying a bouquet of flowers in their arms over acanthus inspired foliage that morphs into a fish-scaled midriff over cyma-curved legs that curl at the top in pluming acanthus and terminate in the feet as deeply scrolled toes. Two similarly fish-scaled legs support the middle, each flanked by an applied pierced and carved skirt of flowing bellflowers amongst plumed foliage culminating in a shell-carved centermost design. The apron has a repeating rectangular design that completes the front and sides, the back of the frame with a more plain molded form.
The sofa is dressed in a light yellow damask upholstery, the fabric in good repair but with numerous stains, all of which are represented very well in the photo collection. Three cushions along the seat are each down-stuffed and incredibly comfortable.
This is a remarkable strikepoint piece for any formal sitting room - certainly adding incredible visual interest to any design scenario and being a conversation piece in and of itself. The carvings are crisp and executed with great skill, the condition is outstanding and it is a very strong and sturdy piece that was built to last generations. This is a piece that will be treasured in your home through future generations.
Measurements: 76 wide x 33 1/2 deep x 29 high; 18 1/2 high to seat
Church of England embraces eco-theology
As membership in liberal churches declines, many try to stem the tide by becoming... more liberal.
Ezra Levant looks at the latest development: The Church of England has adopted ecotheology. This seems to amount to making resolutions to use less paper, and install solar panels on vicarage rooftops.

Castles ~ Canterbury
Canterbury Castle in Kent.The ruined castle is amongst the most ancient in Britain, begun by William the Conqueror around 1070. The stone castle replaced an earlier motte and bailey fortification built at the nearby Dane John. The keep was largely constructed in the reign of Henry I (1100 - 1135) as one of three Royal castles in Kent. By the late 1300's it had been overshadowed by the bigger fortifications at Dover and became a prison - by the seventeenth century it was already ruined. Today the roofless shell is surrounded by a quiet garden - inside you can climb part way up one of the towers.

Ghost stations is the usual English translation for the German word Geisterbahnhöfe. This term was used to describe certain stations on Berlin's U-Bahn and S-Bahn metro networks that were closed during the period of Berlin's division during the Cold War. Since then, the term has come to be used to describe any disused station on an underground railway line, especially those actively passed through by passenger trains.
An abandoned (or disused) railway station is a building or structure which was constructed to serve as a railway station but has fallen into disuse. There are various circumstances when this may occur - a railway company may fall bankrupt, or the station may be closed due to the failure of economic activitiy such as insufficient passenger numbers, operational reasons such as the diversion or replacement of the line. In some instances, the railway line may continue in operation while the station is closed. Additionally, stations may sometimes be resited along the route of the line to new premises - examples of this include opening a replacement station nearer to the centre of population, or building a larger station on a less restricted site to cope with high passenger numbers.

Places to see in ( Faversham - UK )
Places to see in ( Faversham - UK )
Faversham is a market town and civil parish in the Swale district of Kent, England. The town of Faversham is 48 miles from London and 10 miles from Canterbury and lies next to the Swale, a strip of sea separating mainland Kent from the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. Faversham is close to the A2, which follows an ancient British trackway which was used by the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, and known as Watling Street. The Faversham name is of Latin via Old English origin, meaning the metal-worker's village.
There has been a settlement at Faversham since pre-Roman times, next to the ancient sea port on Faversham Creek, and archaeological evidence has shown a Roman theatre was based in the town. It was inhabited by the Saxons and mentioned in the Domesday book as Favreshant. The town was favoured by King Stephen who established Faversham Abbey, which survived until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. Subsequently, the town became an important seaport and established itself as a centre for brewing, and the Shepherd Neame Brewery, founded in 1698, remains a significant major employer.
The town was also the centre of the explosives industry between the 17th and early 20th century, before a decline following an accident in 1916 which killed over 100 workers. This coincided with a revival of the shipping industry in the town. Faversham has a number of landmarks, with several historic churches including St Mary of Charity, Faversham Parish Church, the Maison Dieu and Faversham Recreation Ground. Faversham Market has been established for over 900 years and is still based in the town centre. There are good road and rail links, including a Southeastern service to the High Speed 1 line at Ebbsfleet International and London.
Faversham is roughly equidistant between Sittingbourne and Canterbury. It lies 48 miles (77 km) east of London, 18 miles (29 km) east north east of Maidstone and 13 miles (21 km) from Ashford. Nearby villages include Oare across Oare Creek to the north, Luddenham, Mockbeggar and Ospringe. Geographically, Faversham sits at a boundary between marshland to the north and a mixture of brick earth, gravel and chalk to the south which leads into the North Downs.
Arden of Feversham is a play about the murder of Thomas Arden written around 1590, possibly by William Shakespeare or Christopher Marlowe. The Faversham Society was established in 1962, and is one of the oldest Civic Societies in the UK. Faversham Recreation Ground (locally known simply as Faversham Rec) is to the east of the town centre.
Faversham Stone Chapel (in Norton, Buckland and Stone) is the remains of the Church of Our Lady of Elwarton. Although Faversham Abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII the nearby St Mary of Charity, Faversham Parish Church remains, and has been a Grade I listed building since 1950. St Catherine's Church dates from the Norman period and was extensively restored in the 1860s. Faversham Cottage Hospital opened in 1887. It was extended in 1922 and included a World War I memorial, which was unveiled by Vice Admiral Hugh Evan-Thomas. Faversham Cemetery opened in 1898.
Faversham is close to the A2 road, a historically important route from London to Canterbury and the Channel ports. Faversham railway station opened in 1858. A former goods sheet built as part of the original railway works is now Grade I listed.
( Faversham - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Faversham . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Faversham - UK
