- 19 September 2016 11:02318067It gets called River Church rather a lot which is confusing as there is at least 2 churches there.
Anyway this looks useful.
- 19 September 2016 13:00318072Funny that Howard when I was young it was Church or Chapel but they all seem to be called Church these days .I got married in a Chapel.I fact the schools. We're chapel or church.
- 19 September 2016 22:12318099The Right Worshipful the Town Mayor of Dover and Speaker of the Cinque Ports Councillor Neil Rix will host Admiral of the Fleet, the Lord Boyce, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, representatives from all other towns of the Cinque Ports Confederation and distinguished guests at the Annual Speaker’s Day Event in Dover on Saturday 1 October.
King Henry III granted the Confederation of the Cinque Ports its first known Charter in 1260 bringing together the key coastal Towns in south-east England in a defensive alliance. The Confederation maintains the links to the historic heritage and works to promote the value of naval and seafaring skills in the community today. The Speaker of the Cinque Ports acts as Chairman and principal representative of the Confederation in a role that goes back continuously over 600 years until at least 1357. The Mayor of Dover holds the Office of Speaker every seven years in rotation with the six other principal members of the Confederation.
The Procession will leave from Dover Town Council offices at 11am; the Admiralty Sergeant bearing the silver Ceremonial Oar of the Confederation will lead the Lord Warden, the Speaker, Dover Town Honorary Freemen and Councillors, Confederation Mayors and Officers, and Distinguished Guests to St Mary’s Church. The Band of the Brigade of Ghurkha’s will accompany the procession and the recently returned Dover Burghmote Horn will be blown in the Town for the first time since 1969 marking a return to the role it has filled in the Civic life of the Town since at least 1588.
Following a Service of Worship and Thanksgiving led by the Right Reverend Trevor Willmott, Bishop of Dover and the Honorary Chaplain to the Mayor the Reverend Dr John Walker the procession returns to Maison Dieu House.
On this Saturday 1st October. There is a Tudor Festival. I do not know if any other members here can post up more about this. Details are hard to find

24 September 2016 19:24318324so was the rat burger I had in pencester today - 30 September 2016 08:42318468Two events tomorrow in Dover.The Cinque Port Mayors parade or should I say proccesion to. The Civic church of St Mary also the Tudor festival.Will the stocks be on display for lowly peasant folk to throw apples .With the market stalls there should be a good choice .
I'm sure the usual crowd outside the Eight Bells will give a good impression,for the visiting Mayors. - 30 September 2016 09:04318469Does anyone know what time the procession starts and where from - nothing on the Town Council website?
