sorry about the latin the victorian edition and so on.
On the whole I think most people agree that Thanet was an island in 1400.
Back in Roman times I think Thanet was definitely an Island and probably still one in 1400
A problem with history is that the more you know the more you realise how much you don't know. Anyway I am working up to revising my understanding of the early history of Thanet.
A busy day at work in the bookshop
Link to the books we put out for sale
finally this fragment that came up during my reserch This man in behalfe of himselfe and his Covent appealed * to the then Comissary of Cant. for Justice against a certaine foule mouthed abusive fellow, who (as he stands charged upon record) anno 1452. had called them Whoresons and farting Monks. He lyeth buried in the Lady-Chapell, but the brasse is almost all torne from his monument. Iohn Stone a most pious Monk of the place was contemporary with this Prior

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
