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.
