Palmers of Otford I am researching my ancestors and have found reference to them owning manors in or around Otford.Namely Rye house and the bull???..in Otford. These ancestors were linked to the Palmers of Snodland who were an ancient family and lived in the court lodge by the church. If any body locally has information as to these palmers i would be very interested to hear and in the mean time will pop along to visit Otford to have a look around. If you can help me say tell me where i can find the bull or rye house if they still exist id be gratefull and also any info and documentation for me to read and see how they were all linked. Many thanks russell palmer chalk in kent
Dear Russell, I know this is a long shot as it was 12 years since your post, but I am trying to find links to my family in Snodland in the years before 1660. I live in Queensland Australia and would be delighted to share with you the results of my research. I am particularly interested in the connection with Court Lodge in Snodland which, I understand, became the paper mill in later years. I look forward to hearing from you . Regards, Andrew Palmer.
