Kent: State of the historic environment 2021
No full textThe RSA published its latest iteration of the Heritage Index in the autumn of 2020. This updates the data from 2016. The purpose of the Index is to assist with data-informed decision making for the heritage sector in the United Kingdom. The data aregrouped around six main themes: Historic Built Environment; Museums, Archives and Artefacts; Industrial Heritage; Parks and Open Spaces; Landscape and Natural Heritage; and Cultures and Memories. There is a further category looking at basic infrastructure.The Index is presented by local authority in England, with rankings available for each theme. The methodology gives a different weighting to each element of data; for example, public participation with the Historic Built Environment is worth 20 per cent of the activity section for that theme, whereas Grade I listed buildings ‘at risk’ reduce the asset element by 12 per cent. There are differences in the data available for the different nations within the United Kingdom.This report has been prepared by the Centre for Heritage at the University of Kent to identify ways to develop and support the heritage sector within the countyand region. This report emphasises that six local authorities in Kent are placed in the top 100 for England. This report is part of a series on the State of the Historic Environment in 2021 available via the Centre for Heritage website

Historic Kent: The Value of the County's Heritage Sector
No full textThe report builds on the data brought together in the RSA Heritage Index (2020). It identifies four key heritage themes in Kent: coastal heritage; Christian heritage; historic houses; and natural heritage and historic landscapes. These themes embrace elements such as the Roman forts of the Saxon Shore; Dover Castle; the artillery forts of Henry VIII; coastal resorts; the UNESCO World Heritage site of Canterbury; the cathedral city of Rochester; historic houses including Knole and Chartwell; and the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Three case studies relating to local authorities are presented: Canterbury, Dover, and Folkestone and Hythe. These show how each of the areas has been able to use its heritage assets to develop its tourism economy, and to attract significant funding from the NLHF.
A summary of the key themes of heritage strategies from local authorities across Kent is provided to indicate how local heritage assets are perceived as part of their local communities.
A consideration of the social benefits of heritage includes a reflection on the UK Government’s Levelling-Up agenda and its interaction with the heritage sector.
The economic benefits of heritage are underlined by the scale of NLHF awards made to projects in Kent, as well as the value of tourism, in part driven by heritage attractions and assets. Heritage projects in Kent were awarded over £79 million in grants from NLHF from 2013 to 2020. The largest amounts were for £13.7 million for the Canterbury Journey awarded to Canterbury Cathedral, £4.8 million for Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, £4.6 million for the Maison Dieu in Dover, £4.6 million for the Sheerness Dockyard Church project, and £3.4 million for Chartwell.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major fall in income from tourism for the county from £4.1 billion in 2019 to £1.6 billion in 2020. This included a fall of 61 per cent on day trips, and 60 per cent on overnight trips. This had an impact on employment in the tourism sector accounting for a drop of 39 per cent to 50,026 individuals. The fall in income due to the pandemic is particularly noticeable for Canterbury with a loss of over £300 million, while Medway and Thanet both saw losses over around £200 million.
The report reflects on the challenges facing heritage in Kent. In particular, it considers the way that the public have been engaging with built heritage, museums, and archives. Solutions include integrating the historic built environment with related objects and documents that can be found in museums and archives within the county
Multi-level DEA Approach in Research Evaluation
No full textIt is well known that the discrimination power of DEA models will be
diminishing if too many inputs or outputs are used. It is a dilemma if the decision makers
want to select comprehensive indicators to present a relatively holistic evaluation using
DEA. In this work we show that by utilizing hierarchical structures of input-output data
DEA can handle quite large numbers of inputs and outputs. We present two approaches in a
pilot evaluation of 15 institutes for basic research in Chinese Academy of Sciences using
DEA models

The evolution of Puritan mentality in an Essex cloth town : Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640.
No full textThe subject of this thesis is the impact of religious
reformation on the inhabitants of a small urban centre,
with some reference to the experience of nearby settlements. Dedham has a place in national history as a centre
of the Elizabethan Puritan Movement but the records of the
Dedham Conference (the local manifestation of that
movement), also illustrate the development of Reformed
religion in Dedham and associated parishes.
The contents of the thesis may be divided into four
sections. The first of these concerns the material life of
the inhabitants of Dedham and the way in which this
generated both the potential for social cohesion and the
possibility of social conflict. The second section
examines the attempt at parish reformation sponsored by the
ministers associated with the Dedham Conference and the
militant and exclusive doctrine of the Christian life
elaborated by the succeeding generation of preachers.
The third element of the thesis focuses on the way in
which the inhabitants articulated the expression of a
Reformed or Puritan piety and, on occasion, the rejection
of features of that piety. The ways in which the townspeople promoted the education of their children, the
relief of the poor and the acknowledgement of ties of
kinship and friendship, have been examined in terms of
their relationship to a collective mentality characterized
by a strong commitment to 'godly' religion.
The fourth and final section seeks to examine how a
group, characterized by the particular mindset discussed
earlier, responded to the political crisis and increasing
polarization of opinion which culminated in the outbreak of
the English Civil War.
The Conclusion attempts to integrate the topics
examined in these sections and to show how, despite the
rigour and exclusiveness which characterized the rhetoric
of the preachers, Puritanism in Dedham tended to foster
social cohesion rather than social division
