MessageI came across this site looking for information about Nonington College of Physical Education, which my great aunt Gladys Wright was principal of in the 40s and 50s. Her nephew, my father Leslie Wright, met my mother, Thea May, when she was a student there in the early 50s. I'd love to contact anyone who could give me any information about Gladys or Steena Kruger who owned the college with her. I now live in New Zealand, a long way from Kent!

MessageHi Nonington
I have recently been discovering my family roots which I have traced back to Nonington. Petter Gouldsacke who married Sarah Arthur who was born there in 1675. All her family came from Nonington and were born, married and baptised there.
Visited the church yesterday and it is lovely.

My Dad, Walter (Jim) was the local coal man for many years. I was born in 1 Church Villas and lived in the villae until I married in 1967.

MessageNonington College of P.E. gave me a whole new outlook on life! I went from Sheffield, a total city girl, to Nonington in 1963-66. It was such a beautiful place and I still have so many good friends from that era. My nickname was Peasa, given to me by Ann Clingan (1960-63) and at age 64 I still have emails addressed to me as that. Sunbathing in the Dell, sledding down the terrace on tin trays are just some of the memories I shall treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you for this site and I hope that the College is restored one day to its former glory. Emigrated in 1997 and this site just made me 19 again.

MessageWell it seems the website doesn't see many guests! I signed in on 28th June 09 and no one has been there since. I did come across another Nonington site when I put in 'co.uk' by mistake. However that informed me that there were no entries concerning the Church in Nonington - whatever has happened to St. Mary's Parish Church, now referred to as Nonington Chapel? I'm very sad indeed. I'd love to hear from someone there about it all. May God bless you all.

MessageHello again!
This really is the first lady Vicar of Nonington!!
Thank you Barry for your letter of apology and Sheila for your kind words in the Magazine. What an amazing coincidence that the day the Mag. was delivered I walked into your garden with David after the Pentecost Eucharist at Adisham. I'm sorry that there were so few Nonington folk at Adisham, but I guess there were many preparations in hand for Anna Willett's wedding. No doubt that was a lovely occasion. We hope to make another visit sooner rather than later, so hopefully we'll see more of you then.
Seeing Nonington, and meeting with the Aylesham and Adisham folk made me wish that I was still there with you all.
Many Blessings be on you all.
Valerie Perry.

Messagesmilie hello there
found this web site while crusing looking for info on the college and town. It is fantastic to read that Nonington College had such a lasting impact on anyone who was privileged enough to attend it. I met my husband, Simon Samsworth there and my sister Mandy Dunne attended Nonington also. We keep up with news from former students but are looking for a contact for John Wright a lecturer of the highest calibre that has shaped our teaching careers and lives and we want to make contact with him and thank him after nearly 27 years! better late than never. If someone reading this can contact us with an address for him or email that would be great. We have two beautiful girls (13 and 11) and get back to the U.K. and Ireland every summer to see family and often wind our way to Nonington to show our children the place that played such an important role in their mum and dad's life!Looking forward to our next visit in July.
