This site exists because of the people who have researched, written,
and shared what they know about Monkton. This page records who's
contributed so far.

## Stuart Horsburgh — Project Lead

Stuart leads this project: gathering material, interviewing villagers,
and steering what the site covers. His own contributions so far
include the [Monkton 1926](history/monkton-1926.md) Centenary Mile
Walk — a map and guide to the village as it looked a hundred years
ago, the first stage of a longer effort to collect residents'
memories — and the churchyard survey that underpins the
[Church](church/index.md) section's clergy list, bells, war memorial,
and full record of the churchyard's graves.

## Terry Marsh

Terry has contributed two regular columns, originally written for the
Monkton News parish magazine and reproduced here: [Monkton
Memories](history/monkton-memories/index.md), childhood and
village-life reminiscences, and [A Farming Life](history/farming-life/index.md),
an account of his working life on Monkton and Thanet farms from 1976
onwards. Together they're the site's main first-hand record of what
the village was actually like to live and work in.

## Karen Wolstenhulme

Karen has kindly given access to her archive collection of village photographs, newspaper clippings and articles.  These will be gradually added to the website over the coming weeks & months.
(More details will be added as we scan and upload the items).

## Hugh O'Neill — Website Manager
