Speaker: Catharina Clement
Today we think of Gillingham as a large urban area, but it was not always so. Until incorporation in 1903 it was a thriving village in its own right, centred around the parish church of St Mary Magdalene. Sadly, very little of it survives today. Come and discover the illustrated history of the original village.
Catharina Clement has a PhD in Local History from Canterbury Christ Church University. Her interests lie in anything that was unconventional in the past, like nonconformity, conscientious objection, and the anti-slavery movement. More recently she has focused on her home town of Gillingham and its history.
