The Millennium Hedge I am very pleased to say that the hedge that we started to lay last October is now finished, no, not in that sense. The work is done and if anyone wishes to take a stroll up Cambridge Lane they will find a thriving hedge with plenty of new growth. I think it is fair to say that everyone involved had a good time, learnt a dying art and possibly made some new friends. The people involved include some who had lived in Lynsted for donkeys years to others who have recently arrived and hardly unpacked their boxes. Some came from farther a field including our good friend Andy, from Ramsgate via Norton. A lot of hard work and free time has been given to make this happen and I would like to thank Ken Diamond, Bob Baxter, Jenny and Graham Sargent, Kevin Barrett, Ken Northfield, Trish Murphy, Frank and Judith Oldham, Neil Anderson, Tom English, Andy McElevy, Kevin Castle, Jonathan Jackson, Tom, Ben and Emily Meek, Brian Pond, Len Scott, Martin Lewis and Jack, Robin and Mary Fielding, Nigel and Lis Heriz-Smith, Mike Hudson and finally John Flower the Master hedge layer who showed us the way. I hope I have not left anyone out but apologise if I have. The end result is something I believe we can all be proud of. This is just one project initiated by the Lynsted with Kingsdown Society, others currently running are the recording of gravestones at Lynsted church and research into the Noble Chafer Beetle. If you would like to get involved either visit our website lynsted-society.co.uk or contact Bob Baxter on 521515. If anyone has any ideas for new projects we are happy to discuss them. John Jackson |
