| Message | What a wonderful web-site.I came across it because I have a friend who lives in Nonington. She attended the P.E. college in the '60s and I can see now why she decided to make the village her home. My best wishes to all of you involved in producing the site. |

| Message | I love this site! I was taking a little trip down memory lane, and was actually surprised to stumble across such a great information site. It makes Nonington seem so much bigger than the little village I remember. I have great memories of the pantomimes, and the village fetes; as well as the people. I just want to say hi to all fellow classmates from Nonington Primary School, 1986-1992  |

| Message | 21 years ago I was the itinerant vicar of Nonington when my family and I spent the summer of 1987 among you. I presided over Sunday worship at Nonington, Wymonswold, Chillenden, Goodneston and Knowlton; officiated several weddings and funerals and visited the elderly and infirm. The wonderful people I met still live vividly in my heart, as do the mental images of the lovely Kent countryside bathed in the golden light of an August afternoon. Blessings to you all... The Rev. Kent McCulloch (retired) |

| Message | I went for an interview at Nonington College in 1983. It was a wonderful place and I spent a night there and then a full day for the interview. All the students were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Unfortunately I didn't take up the place deciding to do Engineering instead! Very sad to hear that the college is no more. |

| Message | Hello again! Its been a long time, but I haven't forgotten you. I read the Magazine from cover to cover and wish I was still a part of it all. David & I are well, and spend much of our time with Dominic, our almost 6 years old grandson - hard work but fun. Heather lives in Maidstone and has 6yrs. old, Grace and 3yrs. old Joseph. We visit as much as possible, but it's a long drive and we have to work around Dom's mum's working hours. Please pass on to all at the Baptist Chapel that the 'Rambling Rector' Rose which I bought with their leaving gift to me, is a wonderful sight today. It is a mass of white flowers covering all but the door of the shed, and reaches some 35ft. up into a huge holly tree which is behind the shed! Anyway this retired Rector must ramble no longer - My love to you all , and God's blessing be upon you all. I shall try hard to get to see you some day. Valerie Perry |

| Message | My Grandfather and Grandmother lived and died in Nonington. They were Charles Frederick Chapman and his wife Kate. Charles died at Yew Tree Cottage. He was born in 1878 and his funeral announcement states he was buried in Nonington Cemetary age 73. In about 1951. Im now in my 60s and can just remember visiting him when I was 6 or 7. Today me and the wife decided to visit his grave. A bit of a shock, the graveyard is so overgrown, all we ended up with was wet trousers. I suppose we should have found out exactly where he is buried. Any how, we had a most enjoyable day driving around the area and had a very nice lunch at the Royal Oak. The crux is, can anyone help me to find out wher Charles is in the graveyard. I would like to tidy up his grave and arrange for it to be looked after. Many thanks to Mrs Kahawatte for her help today |

| Message | Wonderful site! We so enjoyed visiting Nonington with my 85 yr old mum , looking unsuccessfully for signs of the Garlinge family (Frederick, who drove a truck, Louise etc), who were here in 1928 when she stayed a summer from India. Shown in 1901 census as being at 57 Church St, which is no more! Jen kindly helped us! |

| Message |  I was a student at Nonington from 1981-1984. Like many of us who spent three years there we reflect on the time spent there as one that shaped our future lives. Many of the students are now flung across the globe but have great memories of the time spent in that corner of Kent and times spent in Deal. I live in Maine in the USA now with my wife and three children. Without doubt, my three years there shaped who I am now. |

| Message | Pam and Dennis Parkin (my sister and brother in law) still live in the village, as does my nephew David, his wife Louise, and their wonderful children Jack and Daniel. Its a wonderfully picturesque village. I remember fondly attending the Cub Scout services at the church, and the walks thru the lanes. I visit far too infrequently, as it reminds me of how a community should be...... Im in Florida now, and miss Kent a lot. Terry |
