The new style front magazine with full colour front cover was launched in May 2014.  The name was also amended to Hardres and Stelling News.  Click here to see a collage of all coloured front covers.

The Hardres and Stelling News is the Village Magazine for Bossingham, Stelling Minnis and Upper Hardres.  The magazine was originally a church magazine (Stelling & Upper Hardres Parishes) and originated around 1953. It continued in that form until 1973. In 1972/73 both churches suffered arson attacks and co-incidentally the church newsletter ceased and was replaced by a Villages Magazine – The Hardres – Stelling News.  

The magazine normally runs to 40 A5 pages of material plus advertising pages. Space is sometimes available for new advertisers (see) . Each issue contains a diary of events for two months and contacts for most local clubs and societies. Regular contributors are the 2 churches (Stelling and Upper Hardres); Managers of Stelling Minnis Common; Historical Society;  Upper Hardres Parish Council, Kent Police; The windmill (in season); Stelling Striders; Stelling Minnis School; Farming and Helen the Vet;  to name but a few.
