Minster, Swale
Minster is a small town on the north coast of the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, England, east of Sheerness.
Toponymy
The name of the town derives from the monastery founded in the area.[1] There is some variation in the use of the name, with the local parish council being named 'Minster-on-Sea',[2] while other sources, such as the local primary school, use the title Minster-in-Sheppey,[3] derived from the disambiguation required to differentiate between the town and Minster, Thanet, also in the county of Kent. The name listed in the Ordnance Survey gazeteer is Minster, but the Royal Mail database shows addresses as being in Minster-on-Sea.
Religious life
In about AD 670 the widowed Kentish queen, Seaxburh of Ely, built the monastery here - one of the first in Kent. In AD 835 the Danes overran Sheppey and made it their base camp. They remained there until the Norman conquest. In AD 670 another monarch - King Ecgberht of Kent gave land for his mother to establish a Benedictine nunnery at Minster. At the Reformation Sir Thomas Cheyney was given possession of the site.
Today the remains of the old Abbey gatehouse is a museum and the remaining tower is being restored.
Minster has a fine parish church, which includes Norman work with Roman tiles, and 15th Century choir stalls.
Other notes
The coast here consists of London Clay. and many fossil remains can be found along the beach after the waves have brought down the cliffs.
In the early 20th century the island was hit by speculative builders and Minster suffered equally with Sheerness. After World War II the population of the village had swollen "from about 250 people in 100 homes to 5500 people in 1800 homes". (taken from the external link)
Minster Cricket Club
Minster also has a cricket club which was founded in 1931. The first team plays in the Shepherd Neame Kent Cricket League Division 2, having had five promotions in the last seven years. The club has a variety of teams ranging from Under 11 up to the 1st XI. Minster play at Gilbert Hall opposite the St. George's Middle School.
