| Message | Hello 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. |

| Message |  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.  |

| Message | I have just found that my 3xgreatgran Sarah Bentley was born in Nonnington in 1795. She was daughter of Edward & Mary. Sarah married Henry Wall and lived in Sandwich where she was local midwife. I would love to know if there are any Bentley or Wall descendants out there. I will be visiting this village as soon as I can to look for graves in the churchyard.In the meantime I will look at the website with interest. |

| Message | Oh! what a fantastic picture of Nonington early on a misty morning. It brought back such wonderful memories for my husband and I. We attended Nonington College from 1979-1982 and remember that view so clearly. I lived in "Old Court" and old house owned by the college where a select few were housed for the year and then I moved into the college for my second year. My sister Mandy also attended the college and as many of your visitors to the web the village and college helped shape us into the people we are today. I was also lucky to fall head over heals in love there and married Simon Samsworth years later and we now have two beautiful girls (11 and 13)are we are both still in education in Oakville Ontario. I agree with the previous entries re the college it would be lovely to have an area on the web devoted to the college so the students could give feedback to the village/college on how vital a part it played in developing all of us who were privileged enough to attend such a wonderful educational estabilishment.We get back to the U.K. each summer as Simon's parents live in Herne Bay and have visited the college...what a shame it was sold it would have made an ideal conference and spa resort!Such is life. Cheers |

| Message | I was at Nonington College from 1982 - 1985, and I look back on it with enormous pleasure - when I think I could have ended up in some faceless city university and been none the wiser! I loved the lanes and fields, I loved the history of the big house, and I've been back, regular as clockwork, to Kent - Thanet, Canterbury, Sandwich, Dover - ever since. Nonington seems so much the same as I remember it, unlike just about every other place I remember with fondness, that has since been ruined by roads or new estates. I've had a twenty-five-year love-affair with Kent, thanks to Nonington. Long may it continue. |

| 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. |
