Parishes of Seale and Halling
Visits were made to the parishes of Seale and Halling on Monday 19th September by Colin Greenstreet. The purpose of the visits was firstly to inspect the current landscapes of the two parishes, subsequently to compare these landscapes with parish and estate maps from the C17th, C18th and C19th, and finally to examine the surviving buildings at Stonepitts, Seale, formerly occupied by Sir Thomas Piers, and the Bishop's place, Halling, formerly occupied by the Dallison family.
A secondary literature search will later be conducted for texts originating in the C17th to C21st which describe and/or analyse the Kent north downs and greensand landscape around Seale and the lower Medway riverine, marsh and meadow landscape around Halling, Snodland and Wouldham.
