ACCIDENT. - On Friday, a young man, named Abraham Taylor, in the employ of Mr. Charles Chambers of Langley Park, was driving a wagon and horses, when he slipped in front of the wheels, and the wagon, with its contents weighing about four tons, passed over his arm. Fortunately no bones were broken, but his arm was severely lacerated. Under treatment at the West Kent General Hospital he is now progressing favourably.
Kent & Sussex Courier 02 September 1887, p. 3
HARVEST HOME. - On Saturday last a gathering, which served to remind one of the happy days when this, our island home, was designated "Merrie England," took place at Langley Park, near Maidstone, when Mr. Charles Chambers entertained the whole of his workpeople in good old English fashion, by way of celebrating the ingathering of a plentiful harvest and the Jubilee year of her Majesty's reign. Coming from a stock of Kentish yeomen, Mr. Chambers is a thorough agriculturist, and by dint of perseverance and the exercise of sound judgment he is one of those very few fortunate tenant farmers who are able to hold their own in these depressed times. He has under cultivation about 1,300 acres of and situate in the parishes of Langley, Yalding, Est and West Farleigh, Biddenden, Maidstone, Otham, and Chart Sutton. It was the labourers, with their wives and families, to the number of about 500, employed in the cultivation of these farms, who were invited to the feast, and the weather being gloriously fine, all were enabled to join in the festivities without let or hindrance.
