on the Dover Station, and was to be Mayor again in 1746. He had married Susanna, daughter of James Matson, Malster and Jurat of Dover.

RIPPLE WINDMILL

   This strikingly placed Mill, sometimes called Ripple Mill although in Ringwould, is a sea-mark. Hence it is recorded by its owner in 1895 that he received a grant from Trinity House towards its repair.
   I regret that I did not mention the Mill in 1931 or the importance to the community of this feature, when I was writing about the Parish. It seems undoubted that the site must have been occupied from medieval times by one of the early Post Mill type such as still exists in a field at Chillenden. In a Ringwould Will of 1592 John Watson, Blacksmith, leaves "to his son John his barn and the mill house ". Presumably the Mill remained in the ownership of the Lord of the Manor as a matter of course.
   A Mill of the above type probably remained standing well after 1695, as shown in Robert Morden's Map. Coles Finch records that a more modern structure was built at Drellingore in Hawkinge and moved here early in the 19th century. I remember seeing it working but it lost sweeps 

through timber decay-not storm havoc-in Feb.
1926. It has since been derelict till taken over recently by the Rediffusion Company.

KENTISH BEE BOLES; FURTHER NOTE

   Mr. and Mrs. John Baker of The Old Vicarage, St. Stephens, Canterbury, report 3 bee boles in a south-facing wall of their garden.
   To quote Mr. Baker : "Much of this wall is certainly late Tudor (1560-1600), and is built of 2 in. bricks now very soft and probably of Dutch origin. But the area where the boles are, is in my opinion, later, as the 9 in. by 2 in. bricks predominate here." However, these bricks may have been used in repairing the wall around the recesses, as the measurements of the bee boles are those of a Tudor type-l0-11 in. in depth, and 12 in. in length and they have a pointed gable formed by two bricks. These bee boles are similar to those in the War Memorial Garden, Canterbury Cathedral.
    Mr. Baker thinks that his garden may have originally belonged to Hales Place, which was only a quarter of a mile away.
