Maidstone

For example, some estate records were directly relevant.

The most substantial collection is that in Kent, in Maidstone, in the Kent History and Library Center, where there are four large boxes relating to the property that the fourth Earl of Clanricarde and the countess owned and developed near Tonbridge in Kent.

This was the location where they chose to build a new country house that was completed in the early 1610s.

The house was built on land formerly leased to the countess' mother, Lady Walsingham, and so the countess had inherited that, um, in 1602.

That does sound pretty cool

... it's Maidstone.

It's not.

Is it?

I didn't get the job, but my goodness, meeting Anne for the first time, you could see she was a, a powerful lady with passion, with conviction, and I admired her from that moment onwards.

In 1987, Anne Widdecombe finally reached the Commons as the conservative member for Maidstone.

The next morning, she was interviewed on the BBC by John Stapleton alongside Labor's newest MP.

Would you not agree, uh, to pick up the point that Dan Abbott was making, that what's, what's helped you is, is what, what she called the yuppie factor.

This relation is matter of fact, and attended with such circumstances as may induce any reasonable man to believe it.

It was sent by a gentleman, a justice of peace at Maidstone in Kent, and a very intelligent person, to his friend in London, as it is here worded, which discourse is attested by a very sober and understanding gentlewoman, a kinswoman of said gentleman's, who lives in Canterbury, within a few doors of the house in which the with him named Mrs. Bargrave lives.

Who believes his kinswoman to be of so discerning a spirit as not to be put upon by any fallacy, and who positively assured him that the whole matter, as it is related and laid down, is really true.

And what she herself had in the same words, as near as may be, from Mrs. Bargrave's own mouth, who, she knows, had no reason to invent and publish such a story, or any design to forge and tell a lie, being a woman of much honesty and virtue, and her whole life a course, as it were, of piety.

In rescuing the unfortunate book from the literary death to which general neglect seemed about to consign it, Defoe's genius and audacity devised a plan which, for assurance and ingenuity, defied even the powers of Mr.

Puff in the critic, for who but himself would have thought of summoning up a ghost from the grave to bear witness in favor of a halting body of divinity? There is a matter-of-fact, business-like style in the whole account of the transaction, which bespeaks ineffable powers of self-possession.

The narrative is drawn up by a gentleman, a justice of peace at Maidstone in Kent, a very intelligent person.

And moreover, the discourse is attested by a very sober gentlewoman who lives in Canterbury within a few doors of the house in which Mrs. Bargrave lives.

I knew, obviously, about Enigma.

I didn't know that there's a good-looking one in Maidstone.

John, that could be a fun trick for us.

Prison Island Maidstone.

Now, I'm looking at the map and going, did Prison Island just own this genre? I found at least Prison Island Eindhoven.

Okay, Chris, are you sponsored by Prison Island?

Activate London as well.

Interesting.

Okay.

Another version of the wraparound was filmed in England at the TVS Television Theater in Gillingham, Kent, and later in a bigger studio in Maidstone.

Don't know where those are.

Never been to the England.

His is one of the most fascinating careers.

Born in Maidstone in Kent, he had a variety of, uh, of, uh, positions, but not a great deal is known about his personal life.

Um, what he did write was a number of fascinating, uh, works for viol ensemble.

The viol, of course, was that family of instruments that was pre-eminent really before the violin family, the modern violin family, uh, came into being.
