Arthur Ruderman
moved to Ashford in 1958 and in 1967 joined
a Local History Class run by Dr Fred Lansberry. This fired his interest in
local history and led to further study and to a Diploma in Local History from
the University of Kent.
Arthur decided early on that he would try and restrict his
research to the now thriving town of Ashford, where he spent 16 years as
Treasurer to the Ashford Urban District Council. He worked with many others on
the Index of all known births, marriages and burials from c.1570 - late 1800's.
He went on to work on extracting information from the Ashford Manor Court
Rolls 1734-1927 and a rental of the Manor and identifying where much of the
land mentioned in them lay in the town.
He joined the K.A.S. in 1973 and we are endeavouring to make Arthur's
work available on this Society's Website.
