Interesting picture -
this shows the Foord (or Belle Vue) Windmill. Mill House below and left of it near bottom of the hill. Built before 1820.
The following information was written in 1895 by John E. Claringbould born in Folkestone in 1822, whose father, John Claringbould, built the mill.
These family notes are in possession of Klaske van Coeverden:
" about the year 1730 John Claringbould and John Fector came in the county of Kent and bought together near Deal, the manor at Shepperdwell. In the church of Shepperdwell is still found a memorial stone with the inscription: "In memory of John Claringbould owner of half the manor of Shepperdwell, deceased 1764 aged 60. Afterwards his son, John Claringbould, seems to have sold the half of that manor, to the son of the said John Fector.....
The latter/ first said John Claringbould, my great grandfather settled in River near Dover where he possessed a large farm. He had several children: John, Israel, Richard, and 3 daughters of which one married Mr. Fipps, a distinguished paper manufacturer at River and whose descendants still carry on that profession there. The second daughter was married to Mr. Chester and the third with Mr. Sutton at Dover, both persons belonging to a distinguished family. His eldest son John, my grandfather, married Mary Miller, the daughter of a land owner at Bridge near Canterbury.
He settled down at Alkham, where he possessed 4 large farms: Old and New Drellingore, South Alkham farm and the Megot.(Meggetfarm)
He had several children: John (my father), Israel, William, Richard, Catherine (married Richard Collard), Mary, Elisabeth and Jane (who married Richard Smith and emigrated to North America (Milwaukee).
Grandmother Claringbould died in 1820, 63 years old. A few years later, my grandfather married again with Miss Boxer, they both died in the age of 91 at Deal and were buried in the family grave at Alkham. Through several foolish speculations my grandfather gradually lost nearly his whole fortune. Uncle Israel, who had married a rich lady, bought the farm New Drellingore.
In 1821 my father John Claringbould married Miss Sarah Marsh, the only daughter of Mr. William Marsh an independent gentleman and magistrate at Folkestone. My grandfather Marsh was against this engagement so that they lived at variance??
Before his marriage my father had built a mill with a house at five minutes distance from Folkestone. In 1827 in consequence of different circumstances my father was obliged to yield the mill and the ground belonging to it to his Uncle Sutton of whom he had borrowed £ 2000,- on mortgage.
Grandfather Marsh died 1826 and bequeathed his money in usufruct to my mother, so that the fortune came to myself and my sister; all however was burdened with an annuity of £70 to his housekeeper. In 1827 my father and mother left England, (I was on that time ± 4 years) and settled at Gent in Belgium, from there they removed in 1830 to the Hague and in 1833 to Arnhem. At Arnhem where my sister and I received our school education, they remained till October 1839, when they settled at Apeldoorn. In the year 1851 my mother died at Apeldoorn at the age of 61 years; my father died also there in 1867 old 88 years."
