| Message | I was at Nonington College, studying Performing Arts from 1982-85. I had a brilliant time! Have come back to visit a few times over the past 20 years. The last time was about 15 years ago and it was so sad to see how the college had fallen into disrepair. Am coming back to visit in a few weeks - this time bringing my fiance to see where I misspent my youth! Even as an 18 year old, I was very aware that I was so lucky to be spending time in such a beautiful part of the country. They were magical days and such an important part of my history. |

| Message |  HiI was in the final graduation group at Nonington College. What did they use the lovely college buildings for? Is it still standing? I am now a Special Education Teacher in Perth, Western Australia. I am still married and now have 3 wonderful children. I was in the UK a few years ago, but was unable to catch up with my ex-Nonington group. I would be glad to catch up with any last year students: Debbie, Zeb, Wendy etc. |

| Message | Katherine McPherson, my mother, went to a phys ed college in the thirties. Nonington College was a name that got mentioned, as well as Queen Alexandra College. Maybe she went to both. If anyone knows anything about the history of the college, especially about those years I would be glad to hear. |

| Message | Hi everybody My 4xG Grandfather was a miller at Crabble Mill in Dover. He moved with his family to Nonington in 1842 and his son John Bissenden was the footman to John Pemberton Plumtre at Fredville. John the footman married Maria Pay in the Parish Church on 24.9.1851 and their two eldest children were born there. Does anyone have any information on why John the Miller may have moved from Dover to Nonington or have any information on the Bissenden or Pay family whilst living in Nonington. I would be grateful for any information you may have. Jan |

| Message | Can anyone help? Mary Ann Morgeson married John Pointvine in Nonington on 29 June 1795. Is this John Pointvine my husband's ancestor, who anglized name is John Putwain. Does anyone have access to the parish register who could check the spelling for me. John Putwain was related to Allen Homersham and was left money in Allen Homersham's will. I understand that Allen and his wife Martha lived in the village (Martha dying in Feb 1795). Was Mary Ann Morgeson in service in the Homersham household? What was John Pointvine (or Putwain?) doing in Nonington, unless he was in his relations' household. Is there any way I can find out or can anyone tell me? If Mary Ann & John are who I hope they are, they were both from Whitstable. Any help is appreciated. Many thanks. Penny Thomas, Whitstable. |

| Message | I will be coming back to Nonington again soon hopefully before the year is out. To do some more research into my Family Tree. It was all too much for me to take in in one day,spent other day in Canterbury. It will have too be two days next time, and a day in Canterbury. I didn't know the Hammond family got around so much, in a polite way that is. As in where they lived if not in St Albans Court. Great Village and Church |
