This is a study of the politics of a county communityduring the Civil Wars and Interregnum. The leaders of Kent, thegentry, were not newcomers, as might be supposed, but descendantsof families indigenous to the county - conscious of its history,rooted in their lands, and insular and anglican in outlook.Their opposition to Charles I in 1640 was thereforemoderate. When, in 1642, parliament attacked the church andopposed the king by farce, they withdrew their support. A militaryexpedition from London secured control of the county, however, andduring the next few years a number of then, anxious to preserve order,supported the county committee set up by parliament. But thetendency of the Houses to extremes, and the ascendancy of Sir AnthonyWeldon and his uncompromising adherents in the committee, made theirposition increasingly difficult. By 1648 their alienation was completeand they led the county in revolt.The parliamentarian government was re-established only bythe military arm of Fairfax. The greater gentry remained aloof duringthe Interregnum, and their place was taken by the minor gentry.But the latter were unable to control the county, and the moderates,though unwilling to oppose a government which promised security, andunsympathetic towards the cavaliers, were antagonised by the tendencyto centralisation. The liberties of their county and churchand the stability of an agrarian economy were undermined. In1660 they voted for the restoration, and in restoring the kingthey regained their own position as county leaders.
