DEATH OF MRS P J BUTLER
At the time that the Aldington Enclosure Act was passed in 1807, George Day was the largest landowner in Aldington, owning 189 acres, which was just over a quarter of the land. His name is prominent on the map which was drawn up, prior to the Schedules being issued the following year.
