Is it just me, or are parts of this in need of redoing? People born in Maidstone (& Tonbridge) may be Men of Kent or Kentish Men depending on exactly where they were born. People born in Rainham (Kent), Rochester and Gillingham are Men of Kent. Possibly someone getting confused with the Medway Unitary Authority, the creation of which has changed nothing in relation to this - same as the thieving of ¼ of Kent by London in the 1880s!

Might this possibly be related to the Saxon / Jute divide? The London end of Kent would have been Middle Saxons and/or West Saxons, and those to the east would have been Jutes, at least up to the time of William the Bastard or so. -- Philculmer ( talk) 23:17, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
Tonbridge was spelt Tunbridge until the mid nineteenth century, therefore any usage of Tunbridge before then is not a misspelling. Mjroots ( talk) 13:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Map of the Medway catchment area:The River Medway (and tributaries)
I get a screen that says: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~srmulti/medway/ on this server.

"It rises in the High Weald, East Sussex ..."
However, the 'Physical characteristics' states:
"Source: location Turners Hill, West Sussex"
In fact, approximately the first 4 miles of the river's course is in West Sussex, NOT East Sussex. 95.144.72.128 ( talk) 07:59, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
