ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS, 1892-3.
The Council met in London on the 20th of June 1892 at the house
of the noble President in Grosvenor Place. The Earl Stanhope
presided, there being twelve Members present.
A printed proof of the Programme of the Annual Meeting at
Dover was read and approved.
Votes of thanks were passed to the Bev. Canon Puckle for his
gift to the Library of his book, The Church and Fortress of Dover
Castle ; and to G. M. Arnold, Esq., for the Life of Robert Pocock,
edited by himself.
"W. J. Nichols, Esq., was elected an Honorary Local Secretary
for the Bromley district, and Henry Stringer, Esq., for the Eomney
district.
The Honorary Editor laid upon the table the first bound copy
of the Genei*al Index.
It was unanimously resolved that a special vote of thanks be
accorded to Canon Scott Eobertson at the Annual Meeting for
his indefatigable labours with regard to that Index.
It was resolved that the spare coloured plates of the Sarre
Antiquities, in stock at Maidstone, be bound up, as far as they
will go, in complete sets, with the Catalogue of the Society's
Collections, such special copies to be presented to the noble Pre-
sident and the Council.
Eive new members were elected.
The Annual Meeting commenced at Dover on Tuesday, July
19th, 1892. The Business Meeting was held in the Maison Dieu,
the noble President, Earl Stanhope, in the Chair, supported by the
Mayor of Dover (Sir W. H. Crundall), the Bishop of Dover, the
Archdeacon of Maidstone, Dr. Astley, and others. After the Mayor
had said a few words of welcome to the Society, the following
Eeport was read by George Payne, Esq. (Hon. Sec.) : —
xxxviii REPORT, 1802.
REPORT.
The Council has much pleasure in presenting to-day the Thirty-fifth Annual
Report of your Sooiety, which shews thai it is still in a prosperous state, and lull
of vitality. The Sooiety visited Dover for the first time in the year L860, and
again in L875 in conjunction with the Royal Archaeological Institute, and the
Council hopes thai the members will appreciate the opportunity afforded them
on (lie |. resent occasion of a further examination of the antiquities of Dover and
its vicinity.
Since the last Annual Meeting the Society has lost by death ami other causes
many old and valued members. Twenty-one new members have hcen elected
during the pasl year, while ten await election at your hands to-day.
The Council has the gratification of announcing that the Nineteenth Volume
of Archceologia Cantiana has been issued to the various Local Secretaries,
within the past few weeks, for distribution amongst the members. The volume
contains a General Index to the Eighteen Volumes previously issued, together
with a descriptive Catalogue of the Society's Collections at Maidstone, as well
as a List of Books in our Library there. As the General Index has been
sorely needed, its appearance will doubtless be hailed with satisfaction by every
one.
The Twentieth Volume of Archceologia Cantiana is passing through the
Press, one hundred pages of it being already in type. The Council has to
announce with profound regret that on the completion of that volume Canon
Scott Robertson retires from the Editorship. The vast labour he has bestowed
upon our Archceologia Cantiana, and the value of his past services as Honorary
Secretary, cannot be over-estimated. The extraordinary ability he possesses for
the work which he took in hand, was given to the Society to the fullest extent,
and demands the grateful acknowledgment of every member, past and present.
The members have twice testified to Canon Scott Eobertson, in a substantial
manner, their recognition of the great value of his services to the Society : — Once
in 1884, on the occasion of his marriage; and, secondlv, in 1890, on his retire-
ment from the office of Honorary Secretary. The Council feel, however, that
nothing could compensate Canon Scott Robertson for his devotion to the Society,
and to the Science of Archaeology, better than the knowledge that the work he
has accomplished remains not only for our instruction and benefit, but for
that of future generations.
The Council has much gratification in announcing that the Rev. Canon
C. ¥. Routledge, M.A., F.S.A., has kindly undertaken the duties of Honorary
Editor. His ability, energy, and enthusiasm are well known to the members of
the Society, and the Council feel confident that in the hands of Canon Routledge
Archceologia Cantiana will maintain its high standard of excellence.
Through the kindness of some of our members several valuable additions,
either as gifts or on loan, continue to be made to our Collections at Maidstone.
Richard Cooke, Esq., of The Croft, Petling, has presented to the Library all the
sheets of the one-inch Ordnance Map of Kent. These have been marked in
colours with the sites of archaeological discoveries British and Roman roads, etc.,
by your Chief Curator. That these Maps may become of the utmost value, it is
earnestly hoped that members, on becoming acquainted with any discovery of
ancient remains, will com municate with the Honorary Secretary. They will
thus enable him to keep the Maps up to date.
Members are reminded that with the exception of Volumes I. and II., sets
of the Society's Transactions ma}' be completed on application to the Honorary
Secretary.
The financial position of the Society leaves nothing to be desired, the balance
at the Bankers being at the present moment £800. 9s. 5d.
In conclusion, tbe Council ask for the hearty co-ope* ation of every individual
member in the Society's endeavour to save, to preserve, and to reord.
George Wilks, Esq., moved the adoption of the Report ; this
was seconded by A. Eandall Davis, Esq., and carried unanimously.
PROCEEDINGS, 1892. XXXLX
It was moved by Earl Stanhope, seconded by J. F. Wadmore,
Esq., and carried unanimously : — " That a special vote of thanks be
accorded to Canon Scott Robertson for his past services as Honorary
Editor of Arclnvologia Cantiana, and for his indefatigable exertions
in promoting the welfare of the Society ; and that the deep sense
of the Society's regret, at his retirement from the Editorship, be
recorded."
It was moved and carried : — " That the retiring members of
Council and the Auditors be re-elected."
Ten candidates were elected members of the Society.
This concluded the business of the Meeting.
The company, numbering about two hundred, then proceeded
to St. Mary's Church, in the town of Dover, where a paper on its
architecture and history, prepared by the Vicar, the Rev. Canon
Puckle, was read by his Curate, the Rev. A. M. Collett.
Dover Priory was next visited, under the guidance of Dr.
Astley.
On returning to the Town Hall the members were hospitably
entertained, with light luncheon, by the Mayor.
In the afternoon a visit was paid to the Castle, where the
General commanding the South-Eastern District (Lord William
Seymour) received the company in the historic Banquetting Hall
of the Keep. Colonel O'Bi'ien, C.R.E., kindly acting as guide, led
the members through the various apartments. The inclement state
of the weather entirely prevented any examination of the exterior
of the Keep, or other portions of the Castle.
Some time, however, was spent in the ancient church of St.
Mary-in-the-Castle, which was admirably described by E. P. Loftus
Brock, Esq., F.S.A. (Honorary Secretary of the British Archaeo-
logical Association).
The Annual Dinner was served in the Connaught Hall, Dover,
at 530 p M. The Earl Stanhope presided, being supported by the
Mayor and Lady Crundall, Major-General Lord William Seymour,
Mr. and Mrs. Bugler, Lieut. -Colonel Hartley, Mr. Wadmore, Mr.
Loftus Brock, the Honorary Secretary, and about eighty other
ladies and gentlemen.
The various loyal and other toasts were proposed and responded
to by the noble President, the Mayor, Lord William Seymour,
Lieut. -Colonel Hartley, Rev. F. Babington Blogg, Mr. Wadmore,
Mr. Bugler, Mr. G. E. Elliott, Mr. Alderman Fry, and Mr. B.
Rosher.
The Evening Meeting took place in the Maison Dieu, now the
Town Hall, the Earl Stanhope presiding.
Canon Puckle contributed a valuable paper on "Roman Dover,"
which was read in his absence by the Honorary Secretary, who
followed with an address on the roads of the locality, and their
relation to the discoveries which have been made around Dover.
Mr. Alderman Fry then gave an account of his recent ex-
cavations on the site of the destroyed church of St. Martin-le-
Grand.
xl PROCEEDINGS, 1892.
Mr. Loftus Brock read a paper on Whitfield Church, which
he believes to contain Saxon work.
Votes of thanks were accorded for all these papers, on the
proposition of the noble President, seconded by Lord William
Seymour.
On Wednesday, .Tidy 20th, while awaiting the arrival of the
morning trains, those members who were already in Dover assem-
bled in the Antiquity Boom of the Museum, when the Honorary
Secretary gave a brief description of the more interesting objects
in the Collection.
At 11/30 a.m., the entire company started in carriages for St.
Radegund's Abbey, where, under the able leadership of the Pre-
centor of Rochester Cathedral (the Rev. Grevile M. Livett), an
hour was spent in hearing a minute description of the ruins, and
examining the remaining foundations. Mr. John Sayer, of Charing,
the owner of the property, was present to welcome the party.
Progress was then made to the Hall of the Co-operative Society
at River, where luncheon was served. After luncheon, Temple
Ewell Church was inspected under the guidance of the Vicar, the
Rev. John Turnbull, M.A., some remarks being also offered by
Mr. Loftus Brock.
Alkham Church was next visited, the Vicar, the Rev. J. C. W.
Valpy, M.A., receiving the company. The Honorary Secretary
read a paper on the church by the Rev. W. F. Hobson, M.A., whose
sad death occurred a fortnight before the Meeting.
The Rev. Cr. M. Livett, who by the kindness of the Incumbent
had been enabled to examine Alkham Church a few days previously,
then drew attention to the features which marked its growth. The
double respond in the arcade of the south aisle appeared to him,
and to Mr. Brock, to point, not to a division of the church between
the canons of St. Radegund's and the parishioners of Alkham, but
merely to an eastward addition made to the original building, when
the south aisle and arcade were built. Mr. Livett hopes to be able
at some future date to contribute to ArcliceoJogia Cantiana a paper
on this church.
The church of Capel-le-Ferne was the last place visited. This
also was described by the Rev. Cr. M. Livett, who has supplied the
following short account for insertion here : —
The church consists of a long, aisle-less nave, and square-ended chancel,
with a western tower and a southern porch. The tower has heen rebuilt quite
recently. The orignal tower-arch and western doorway, carefully preserved,
shew that the tower was an addition to the church, in the Transition-Norman
Period. The porch was a later addition. The walls of the nave and chancel,
up to a certain height, are those of the first stone-church, built probably before
or about a.d. 1100. The uppermost three or four feet of the walls were added
to support a new roof, in the fourteenth century. Only one original Norman
window remains ; it is in the north wall of the nave. Later windows have
replaced those of the chancel and south wall of the nave. The principal feature
of interest in the church is the arcade, of three arches, which supports the east
wall of the nave, and serves for a chancel-screen, 'this was inserted in the
fourteenth century, and no doubt succeeded a narrow Norman chancel-arch, in
PROCEEDINGS, 1SD2. \li
the same position. The Norman material is chiefly Caen-stone; thai of the
screen-arcade and of the later windows is Kentish rag. Between the heads of
the arches of the arcade there are grotesque corbel-heads, which at one time
carried the brackets of a wooden rood-loft. Above the central arch, standing on
the level of the rood-loft, is a round-arched opening in the wall, which at tirsi.
sighl might be taken for Norman work. A closer examination proves that the
wall was pierced and the arch inserted when the arcade was made. This upper
arch is of two orders; the outer order plain-chamfered ; the inner order hollow-
chamfered; both chamfers being dagger-stopped. The outer order is all of
chalk, once painted. The punbs of the inner order are of Caen-stone, the
squared blocks clearly shewing the diagonal axe-marks, except on the hollow
chamfer. They must have come from the destroyed Norman chancel-arch.
These jambs rest upon rude bases of Kentish rag. The voussoirs likewise are of
Kentish rag, excepting the three voussoirs at the crown, which are of re-used
Caen-stone. The purpose of this arch, in the minds of the builders, is obvious :
it was meant to form a frame, so to speak, for the rood, its width and conse-
quent round head being necessary to allow room for the figures of St. John and
the Virgin, one on each side of the rood. The total height of the opening is
6 feet ; the span is 5£ feet.
A horizontal line drawn just above the head of the Norman window in the
north wall of the nave would give the height of the Norman interior. Con-
tinued eastwards this line would run just under a singular triangular window at
the east end of the wall, made when the wall was raised. The purpose of this
window was to give light to the gospeller reading from the rood-loft. The whole
of these re-arrangements were probably carried out at one and the same time.
Inside the south door there is something in the wall which possibly marks the
position of a stoup for holy water. In the chancel are a curious sedile and
a piscina.
On the outside, the lines which mark the raising of the walls are clearly
visible, all round the building. The original quoins are instructive: the lower
quoin-stones are huge blocks of a purple-coloured ferruginous sandstone, while
above them appear well-squared and properly-faced Caen-stone quoins. The
change of material does not necessarily mean difference of date ; it more pro-
bably marks the introduction of the Caen-stone into the country. The sand-
stone seems to have been brought over from the coast near Hastings. The
flint-walling is characteristic.
On the proposition of W. H. B. Itosher, Esq., a cordial vote of
thanks was given to Mr. G-eorge Payne for the admirable arrange-
ments he had made for the instruction, pleasure, and comfort of
members during the Meeting, to the Bev. Cr. M. Livett for his
interesting descriptions, and to the Bev. Waterman Gardner-
Waterman for his excellent arrangements connected with the
carriages.
A charming drive to Dover, along the Folkestone road, within
view of the Channel, brought the Annual Meeting of 1N92 to a
pleasant termination.
The Council met on September 29th, 1892, in the Society's
Booms at the Maidstone Museum. The Earl Stanhope presided,
and nine members attended.
The following votes of thanks, in connection with the Dover
Meeting, were unanimously passed : —
To the Mayor and Corporation of Dover, for the use of their
Municipal Buildings.

Votes of thanks were passed for the following gifts to the
Society's Library: —

A special vote of thanks was passed to Algernon Brent, Esq.,
for his handsome donation of Five Pounds towards the Illustration
Fund, Mr. Brent accompanying his gift with expressions of pleasure
at the receipt of the Index Volume of Archceologia Gantiana.
A special vote of thanks was passed to Dr. Astley on his relin-
quishing the office of Honorary Local Secretary for the Dover
district, after thirty years' valuable service to the Society.
E. W. Fry, Esq., of St. Martin's House, Dover, was unani-
mously elected to fill the vacant office.
The Honorary Secretary reported that he had drawn the atten-
tion of the military authorities at Chatham to the fact that dis-
coveries of antiquities had been made during the construction of
the forts, in the Thames and Medway divisions, and that the objects
had been removed without the knowledge of the War Department.
He appealed to Lieut.-General Goodenough, C.B., then in com-
mand, to intercede that it should not occur again, at the same time
asking that information might in future be sent to the Society's
Secretary of any future discoveries. All this having been most
carefully and systematically carried out by General Goodenough,
it was unanimously resolved that a special vote of thanks be
accorded to him for his valuable assistance, and that he be pre-
sented with a copy of the Eleventh Volume of Archceologia Can-
tiana, and a bound copy of the Catalogue of the Society's Museum.
The Honorary Secret ay reported that, during building opera-
tions connected with the Mathematical School at Rochester, the
north tower of the ancient east-gate of the city had been laid bare.
This he had, at the request of the Mayor of Rochester, opened up
to a considerable extent, revealing the massive foundations of an
earlier tower. Having suggested the desirability of keeping this
interesting landmark of ancient Rochester permanently exposed,
proceedings, 1892. xliii
by means of a subway, it bad been intimated to him that the Cor-
poration might be disposed to adopt the suggestion if half the cost
of the work could be obtained elsewhere. The Council therefore
resolved that Five Pounds be voted towards the fund in the event
of such a scheme being carried out.
A letter was read from the Rev. G. M. Livett, to the effect that
Mailing Abbey had been sold to Miss Boyd for the residence of a
Close Sisterhood of the Anglican Church, and, as alterations were
contemplated, he suggested that an expert be appointed to measure
up the existing building before anything was done. This was
referred to the Honorary Secretary, who was directed to make
further inquiries.
A letter was read from the Eev. W. Gardner-Waterman with
reference to the desecration of the ruined Church of the Blessed
Virgin Mary at West Hythe, which was referred to Mr. George
Wilks.
Seven new members were elected.
The Council met on December 22nd, 1S92, in the Cathedral
Library at Canterbury, by the kindly permission of the Dean and
Chapter. Canon W. A. Scott Robertson presided, and seven other
members were present. The Honorary Secretary submitted his
proposed Programme of the next Annual Meeting to be held at
Edenbridfre, which was agreed to.
C. W. Powell, Esq., J. P., of Speldhurst, was unanimously
elected a member of the Council, in room of the Rev. E. H. Lee,
deceased.
Thanks were voted to George Wilks, Esq., for having given to
the Society's Library his books, The Barons of the Cinque Ports and
The Early History of Hythe, part i.
The Honorary Secretary bad issued the following private
circular to the members of the Council, explanatory of this question
upon the agenda paper : " Can anything be done towards the pro-
tection of the ancient monuments in Kent, and the preservation in
Borough Museums of antiquities which may in future be found in
the County ?" : —
The Precinct, Rochester.
December 19, 1892.
Dear Sir,
It seems to me that some special effort should be made, by the Corporate
Towns possessing Museums iu Kent, to arrest the outgoing of the antiquities
and other objects of local interest which are constantly being brought to light.
The magnificent Collections formed by the late Bryan Faussett from East Kent
passed away to Liverpool, the Gibbs Collection to S. Kensington, the Gold
Treasures from Faversham are in half-a-dozen hands, and my own Collection is
at the British Museum, having been declined by the town of Sittingbourne as a
free gift.
I propose to bring the matter before the Council of the Kent Archaeological
Society on Thursday, asking the Society to initiate it, and at the same time to
\li\ PROCEEDINGS, ls(.)2.
offer myself for the work if an adequate remuneration could be ensured. The
following ideas have suggested themselves to rne as useful and practicable: —
1. Examine periodically the historic monuments of each district and reporl
on their condition and advise as to then' preservation.
2. To assist ili<' Museum authorities to acquire the antiquities discovered
around cadi oentre.
:*. To advise as to the arrangement of Collections with a view to making
them more educational.
4. To conducl researches when called upon to do bo.
5. To explore the districts and supply archaeological maps with the results
marked thereon, and record the same in drchceologia Cantiana.
<>. To give lectures occasionally in the Museums if necessary.
7. To organize Public Meetings and Conversazioni once or twice a year in
each Museum with a view to their popularization.
J venture to hope that if this matter were brought under the notice of the
Corporate Towns in Kent, where museums already exist or arc likely to be
established, they would each contribute towards the annual cost of so valuable a
work, of which they would reap, to a large extent, the benefit.
I am,
Yours faithfully,
George Payne.
Mr. Payne Btated that, during a conversation with the noble
President, he (Mr. Payne) had mentioned that if the Society could
vote £50 per annum towards the stipend of an Inspector, the
Corporate Towns where museums exist might be asked to contribute
£100 more per annum.
The following letter from the noble President was read : —
Chevening, Sevenoaks.
December 15, 1892.
Dear Mr. Payne,
I am sorry that, owing to the late hour of the meeting, I cannot attend
the next Council meeting at Canterbury. I should be glad to see an Inspector
of Antiquities appointed for the County to assist in further explorations and to
aid in the enumeration of new collections.
If the Boroughs of the County would co-operate in the scheme and would
contribute £100 or £150 a jrear, there would be no person more fitting for the
appointment than yourself. I think that in any case the Kent Archaeological
Society would be very ready to augment your salary by £100 a year.
With regard to the sale of surplus copies of Archceologia Cantiana, there
can be no doubt that you should have authority to dispose of them at the rate
of 10s. a volume.
Yours very faithfully,
Stanhope.
George Payne, Esq., F.S.A.
Letters more or less favouring the scheme had been received
from Mr. Leveson-Gower, Lieut. -Colonel Hartley, Mr. Samuel
Mercer, and Mr. Wadmore.
After due deliberation the subject was adjourned for con-
sideration at the next Council Meeting.
The Chairman left, with Messrs. Boodle and Arnold, for an early
train, at this stage of the proceedings, when the Archdeacon of
Maidstone took the Chair.
The subject of excavations at Pichborough was postponed.
PROCEEDINGS, 181)2-3. xlv
It was resolved thai in future the stock of back volumes of
Archceoloqia Cantiana may be sold to members al t lie rate of ten
shillings per volume, as there was so little call for them at the
price of fifteen shillings hitherto charged to members who had not
originally subscribed for the back volume desired.
The Council met on March 25th, ISO:}, at Maidstone. Eleven
members were present, presided over by the Earl Stanhope.
Charles Boyce, Esq., M.D., was elected Honorary Local Secre-
tary for the Maidstone District, vice Mr. F. Bunyard resigned.
The subject of the Preservation of Antiquities and the Protec-
tion of Ancient Monuments in Kent, which was adjourned at the
last meeting, was further discussed. The Honorary Secretary
explained that what he proposed to offer to do for the county was
beyond the duties included in the Honorary Secretaryship, and it
was for this additional work that he asked to be remunerated. The
noble President read a draft letter, which he had prepared in con-
nection with the scheme, to be sent to the Kentish Boroughs. The
matter was debated in the absence of the Honorary Secretary.
On being recalled to the room he was informed that the Council
had resolved that the following letter should be lithographed and
sent, as soon as completed, to the Mayors of all the Boroughs in
Kent.
Chevening, Sevenoaks.
March 27, 1893.
Sib,
The Council of the Kent Archaeological Society, in the interest and
furtherance of Antiquarian Research, have the honour to ask your co-operation
for the following object.
It appears to them very desirable that a competent Inspector should he
appointed for the County, who should have full knowledge of its Antiquities
and Archaeological Ilisior}'.
Such an Inspector could, if invited, very well become responsible in advising
as to the preservation of Ancient Monuments and Buildings, and as to under-
taking fresh explorations. He could also assist as to the arrangement and
Cataloguing of New or of existing Museums, and could deliver Lectures on
Local Archaeology.
The Council of the Kent Archaeological Society are prepared to recommend
the Society to make a yearly contribution of £50 out of their funds for this
objecr, provided that the County Boroughs will meet them with an annual grant
in the whole of not less than One Hundred Pounds. The present Secretary of
the Society, Mr. George Payne (Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries), possesses
adequate experience and full knowledge, and is ready to undertake such duties.
If you are willing to make a contribution towards this proposal out of your
Public Library, Museum Fund, or County Technical Education Grant, your
Corporation would be entitled to the services of the County Inspector, and
would receive all future volumes of the Archceologia Cantiana.
The Council of the Kent Archaeological Society trust that you will have the
goodness to take this matter into your favourable consideration, and will kindly
let me have a reply at an early opportunity.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Stanhope,
His Worship President K. A. Soviet//.

Nine new members were elected.
The Council met on June 27th in London, at the house of the
nohle President, in Grosvenor Place. The Earl Stanhope presided,
and there were fourteen members present.
The Programme (in proof) of the Annual Meeting to he held at
Edenbridge in July was approved.
The Earl Stanhope was elected a Trustee of the Society, vice
Lord Brabourne, deceased.
Keplies from several of the Boroughs were read with reference
to the appointment of an Inspector of Antiquities for the County,
to the effect that they were unable to vote any funds for such a
purpose. After some discussion, it was moved by Mr. A. A.
Arnold, seconded by Canon Scott Robertson, and carried, " That
the Council, having heard the replies from the Boroughs respecting
the appointment of a County Inspector, much regret that they can
take no further action in the matter."
It was resolved that the sums received from Life Compounders
for membership, amounting to £100, shall forthwith be invested in
Consols.
It was resolved to subscribe twenty guineas towards the fund
being raised for the purchase of the Roman castrum at Richborough.

A vote of thanks was passed to the Kev. C. A. Molony, for his
gift to the Library of Sim son's Historic Thanet.
Three new members were elected.
The Annual Meeting of the Society commenced at Edenbridge
on Tuesday, July 25th, 1893. The Business Meeting was held in
the Oddfellows' Hall, the noble President in the Chair.
The Report was read by the Honorary Secretary (George
Payne, Esq.) as follows : —
REPORT.
To-day, for the first time since its foundation, the Society visits Edenbridge ;
a locality full of interest, and especially rich in un-restored examples of ancient
domestic architecture. It is hoped that the visit of the Society on this occasion
to some of these old houses may induce the owners to take steps to arrest the
progress of their decay, so that they may stand for many long years as valuable
illustrations of the architecture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as
applied to the dwellings of the yeomen of the Weald at that period.
In presenting this, the Thirty-sixth Animal Report, the Council with much
pleasure draw attention to the continued prosperity of the Society. The Council
have, however, to announce with the deepest regret the deaths during the past
year of two of its distinguished Vice-Presidents, the Earl of Derby and the Lord
Brabourne, the latter being also one of the Society's Trustees.
Other valued members have passed away. Since the last Annual Meeting
twenty-seven new members have been elected. The Society now numbers
eight hundred and seventy-two members, while twelve await election at your
hands to-day.
Members will be gratified to learn that at the last meeting of the Council
the Earl Stanhope, the noble President, consented to act as a Trustee of the
Society in the room of Lord Brabourne, deceased.
The Council having heard with gratification of a scheme for the purchase
of the celebrated Roman castrurn at Richborough, recently voted the sum of
twenty guineas towards the fund, which still needs about £300 to complete
the purchase. The spirited manner in which the whole matter has been taken
up renders the final protection and preservation of this grand national monu-
ment an absolute certainty.
It is anticipated that in the course of the next three or four months the
Twentieth Volume of Archceologia Cantiana will be issued. The completion of
this volume will bring to a close the editorship of Canon Scott Robertson. This
lamentable fact has already been announced, but the Council feel that they
must again express their extreme regret at the retirement of one who has done
so much for the welfare of the Society, and their deep thankfulness to him for
his long and able services.
As you are aware, Canon C. F. Routledge, M.A., F.S.A., has most kindly
taken over the duties of Honorary Editor, and to him therefore material for
future volumes should be sent.
Since the last Annual Meeting your Honorary Secretary, assisted by the
Rev. G. M. Livett, has been prosecuting researches in connection with the
ancient mural defences of the City of Rochester. The discoveries made are of
the first importance, and shed an entirely new light on the history of the city
walls. The results are now being prepared for publication in the Twenty-first
Volume of Archceologia Cantiana.
The Council note with considerable satisfaction the action of the Corporation
of Rochester with respect to the repair of the fine Norman Castle-keep in that
city. The much needed reparation of the interior having recently been taken
in hand, the north side being already completed in an efficient and conservative
manner.
xlviii PROCEEDINGS, 1893.
The financial position of the Society is still highly satisfactory; the balance
at tho Bankers to-day being C7l"> L8s. Lid., although a sum of 6100 has been
invested in Consols during the present month.
In conclusion, the Council earnestly appeal to the members 1<> assisl in
every way possible in the preservation of objects of antiquity or other material
thai may serve to elucidate the history of their respective districts or of the
county.
Lieut. -Colonel Hartley moved the adoption of the Report; this
was seconded by A. A. Arnold, Esq., and carried unanimously.
It was moved and carried: — "That the Auditors be re-elected."
It was moved and carried : — " That the retiring members of
Council be re-elected."
The Earl of Radnor was elected a member and Vice-President
of the Society, and eleven other candidates were duly elected.
The business being concluded, the company, which numbered
some two hundred ladies and gentlemen, proceeded to Edenbridge
Church, where they were welcomed by the Vicar, the Eev. F. C.
Gore, M.A. John Oldrid Scott, Esq., F.S.A., described the church,
the Secretary subsequently reading some interesting notes on the
monuments, and curious extracts from wills relating to the church,
which had been prepared by Granville Leveson-Gower, Esq., F.S.A.
Members next adjourned to the Oddfellows' Hall for luncheon,
and afterwards were conveyed in carriages to Hever Church, which
the Rector, the Eev. E. C. Lathom Browne, kindly described.
Hever Castle was then visited under the guidance of E. P. Loftus
Brock, Esq., E.S.A. (Honorary Secretary of the British Archaeo-
logical Association). After his valuable address in the quadrangle,
the company, by the kind permission of Mr. E. Heard, inspected
the rooms usually thrown open to the public.
Progress was then made to Chiddingstone Church, where the
members were met by the Rector, the Eev. J. T. Pearse, M.A.
The Secretary read some brief notes on the church and ancient
houses in the village, which had been kindly sent to him by Henry
Taylor, Esq., of Braeside, Eusthall, Tunbridge Wells, who was
unable to be present.
Members were charmed with the picturesque village of Chid-
dingstone, and before leaving it many paid a visit to the quaint
old hostelry and other houses, as well as to the great mass of rock
in rear of them, called the " Chiding-stone."
The Annual Dinner took place in the Oddfellows' Hall at Eden-
bridge, about 5*30 p.m. ; the Earl Stanhope presiding, supported by
Sir Samuel Lewes, Lieut. -Colonel and Mrs. Hartley, the Eev. Salter
Hartley, Eev. A. J. Pearman, Granville Leveson-Gower, Esq.,
George Wilks, Esq., J. Oldrid Scott, Esq., E. P. Loftus Brock, Esq.,
the Honorary Secretary and Mrs. George Payne. About eighty
dined.
The customary loyal and other toasts were proposed and
responded to by the noble President, the Eev. W. H. Grove, Lieut.-
Colonel Hartley, Mr. Leveson-Gower, and Mr. George Wilks.
The Evening Meeting was held at 7'30 o'clock, the Earl Stan-
hope again presiding, supported by the Eev. C. E. Gore, Lieut.-
PROCEEDINGS, 1893. xllX
Colonel Hartley, Mr. Leveson-Gower, Mr. Oldrid Scott, and the
Honorary Secretary.
Mr. Leveson-Gower read an interesting paper entitled, " Jot-
tings about Edenbridge ;" after which Mr. C. E. Gildersome
Dickinson contributed a paper on " Gavelkind ;" followed by a
paper from the Honorary Secretary on the " Iron Trade of the
Weald."
The proceedings terminated with cordial thanks to the noble
Chairman and to those who had kindly contributed papers.
On Wednesday, July 26th, the members assembled in drenching
rain, which, together with the lateness of the arrival of the trains,
caused a slight delay at starting. At 11-45 a.m., however, the
party, exceeding two hundred in number, left the town in twenty-
one carriages, then the storm passed away, the weather remain-
ing fine for the remainder of the day. It was decided to
abandon the original intention of going to the ancient home of
the Tichbornes at Crippenden, as the road to it for some distance
is in wet weather impassable. Cowden was therefore the first place
visited, where the Kector, the Rev. F. M. Burton, LL.D., F.S.A.,
cordially welcomed the company. Mr. Oldrid Scott gave an in-
teresting description of the church, followed by Mr. Leveson-Gower,
who contributed a large number of extracts from wills, and other
particulars connected with the church and its monuments.
Erom Cowden progress was made to Lingtield Mark Camp,
which is situate on the borders of Kent and Surrey. The high
position of this fine British oppidum renders it necessary to walk
nearly a mile before the ramparts are reached. The whole party
boldly and cheerfully faced the difficulty, and were rewarded on
reaching the summit of the hill by seeing before them a vast ex-
panse of the finest scenery to be met with in the south-east of
England. On the green sward in front of the ramparts they found
Beresford V. Melville, Esq., and Mrs. Melville, of Ford Manor, Surrey,
awaiting their arrival. After greeting the members very cordially,
they invited them to partake of a sumptuous luncheon which had
been most hospitably prepared in a large marquee. After luncheon,
and before the company left their seats, Mr. Leveson-Gower rose
and warmly thanked Mr. and Mrs. Melville for the immense trouble
they had taken to entertain the Society at such an interesting and
delightful spot, in so kind and hospitable a manner.
Mr. Melville, who was greeted with prolonged applause, replied
in very pleasant terms, expressing a hope that he might be allowed
to become a member of the Society.
The company on dispersing were conducted by the Honorary
Secretary to the magnificent tree, known as the " Mark Beech,"
which, at 3 feet 6 inches from the ground, measures 14 feet 2 inches
in girth, and is growing upon the top of one of the ramparts. From
this standpoint Mr. Payne gave an address on the camp, describing
vol. xx. e
1 PROCEEDINGS, 189^.
its mode of construction, comparing it- with others in the immediate
locality, and also referringto its position as related to the surround-
ing fortified sites and earbj roads.
No time could be allowed for a perambulation of the camp, the
company therefore strolled down towards the carriages.
A few persons only paid a visit at the foot of the hill to Bazing
and Scarlett's farm-houses as a thunderstorm seemed approaching,
and time was precious.
A general advance was therefore made to Oakdene, Cowdcn,
where II. A. Darbishire, Esq., and Mrs. Darbishire, received the
company, and invited them to partake of tea and other refresh-
ments, which had been hospitably prepared for them in a tent upon
the lawn. During tea the Edenbridge brass band played selections
of music. Before leaving the pretty grounds of Oakdene, J. G.
Talbot, Esq., M.P., on behalf of the Society, thanked Mr. and Mrs.
Darbishire for their hospitable reception, to which Mr. Darbishire
replied in graceful terms.
The Council met on the 2Sth of September, 1893, at Maidstone.
Nine members were present, presided over by Canon W. A. Scott
Eobertson.
After some discussion it was decided that the next Annual
Meeting shall be held at Faversham. Votes of thanks were passed
to the following gentlemen, for much valuable help and hearty
co-operation in connection with the meeting at Edenbridge, in July
last — -Granville G. Leveson-Gowrer, Esq., F.S.A., J. Oldrid Scott,
Esq., E.S.A., E. P. Loftus Brock, Esq., F.S.A., Eev. W. Gardner
Waterman, Eev. E. Lathom Browne, Eev. P. M. Burton, LL.D.,
F.S.A., Eev. C. F. Gore, Eev. J. T. Pearse, Henry Taylor, Esq.,
Joseph Stanford, Esq., Mr. Shorter, Mr. Walder, Mr. Heard, Mr.
Boddy, C. E. Gildersome Dickinson, Esq., Mr. G. Pullinger, Mr.
F. G. Pullinger (for issuing the Tickets), and Mr. Benson.
Special votes of thanks were also passed to Beresford V. Mel-
ville, Esq., and Mrs. Melville for their unbounded hospitality and
very great kindness, and to H. A. Darbishire, Esq., and Mrs.
Darbishire for their kindness and hospitable reception at Oakdene.
It was resolved : — " That the warmest thanks of the Society be
tendered to the Eight Hon. the Lord Mayor of London for the
kindly hospitality of his Lordship and the Lady Mayoress to its
members at the Mansion House on the 12th of July, and that his
Lordship be requested to accept the position of a Vice-President of
the Society."
W. H. Burch Eosher, Esq., was elected an Honorary Local
Secretary for the Deal and Walmer District, vice the Eev. J.
Branfill Harrison, deceased.
Eesolved that from the surplus Anglo-Saxon antiquities of iron,
in the Society's possession, about a dozen articles, including swords,

spears, knives, and umboes, shall be lent to the Corporation of
Rochester for their City Museum.
Resolved that a glass-case be provided for the better display of
the Society's collection of sulphur casts from ancient seals.
The following new Kentish Works were ordered to be purchased
for the Library : —
Elvin's History of Wahner and Walmer Castle.
Cotton's History of the Church and Parish of St. Laurence,
Thanet.
Wilkie's Parish Registers of Kingston, near Canterbury.
Barrett's History of Birchington.
Cowper's Registers of St. Paul's, Canterbury.
Six new members were elected.

KENTISH ADMINISTRATIONS, 1601—1649.
EDITED BY LELAND L. DUNCAN, F.S.A.
The Kentish Administration Grants already extracted from the Act Books of
the Prerogative Court of Canterbury and printed in Archceologia Cantiana
extend from 1559 (the first of the existing books) to 1603. To these are now-
added all the Grants relating to the County for the reigns of James 1. and
Charles I.— 1604 to 1649.
Unless otherwise stated, the surname of the person to whom the adminis-
tration was granted may always be taken to be the same as that of the
deceased.
In making the extracts the following translations have been adopted : —
consanguineus, kinsman.
prox. consang., next of kin.
nepos exfratre, brother's son (or daughter).
nepos ex sorore, sister's son (or daughter).
nepos exjilio, grandson (or daughter) by the son.
nepos exjilia, grandson (or daughter) by the daughter.
nepos, where it occurs alone, has not been translated, as the relationship
expressed thereby may either be nephew or grandson ; b., denotes that the
deceased was a bachelor; iv., a widow ; * indicates that deceased died abroad.
The arrangement of the years here followed is that of the New, or present,
Style, but the Acts themselves are dated in the Old Style.
N.B. The following Grant, accidentally omitted, should he added to those for 1600 : — Folio

ON "ROMANO-BRITISH" FICTILE VESSELS
FROM PRESTON NEAR WINGHAM.
BY G. DOWKEU.
In 1889 the late Mr. Charles Roach Smith wrote to me, " What
evil genius hinders you from having engraved for your account of
the Preston kiln the whole of the figures of the pottery, which
should be given in clear outline ?" Since that account was printed,
a number of Roman fictile vessels have at various times been found
in the gravel pits in Preston parish. A notice of the Preston kiln
appeared in 1872 in the twelfth volume of Arcliceologia Cantiana.*
I think it will be interesting to give a more detailed account of the
chief vessels found, and also of the neighbourhood in which they were
so plentifully dispersed.
Dearson Farm lies half a mile to the north-west of the parish
road from Wingham to Preston, and about half a mile south-west
from Preston Church. The gravel pit, wherein most of the pottery
was found, is situated on a ridge of gravel bank that skirts the
eastern valleys of the Lesser Stour, and near to a ford which crossed
that river. Traces of the road may still be seen in dry seasons,
crossing the marsh towards Ickham. At present the only roads near
this gravel pit, or near the Preston Court gravel pit, are two harrow
cart-ways, one from Dearson to the Preston and Wingham highway
in the south by Heart's Delight, and another from Preston Court by
Preston Church to the north at right angles to the parish road. A
footpath, nearly parallel to the parish road from Wingham to Pres-
ton, skirts the gravel ridge on which the pottery has been found,
and it probably marks the site of the Roman way. Part of this
from Dearson to Wenderton is still highway. I have been thus
particular in describing this road, as not only at Dearson, where the
first discovery of pottery was made, but at almost all intermediate
* Some relics from Dearson are noted in Arcliceologia, xxxvi., 181.
VOL. XX. E
50 " IIOMAXO-BRITISD " FICTILE VESSELS
spots between Dearson and Preston Church (nearl] half a mile in
length) bhere bare been Bound, in the gravel, braces of Romano-
British interments. At Preston Court, close to Preston Church, is
a large gravel pit, in which quantities of broken pottery have been
met with. At an exhibition of miscellaneous curiosities, held in the
Preston schoolroom a twelvemonth ago, I found some Snmijr.11
pottery which was exhibited by labourers who bad worked in this
pit, and had preserved them as mantelpiece ornaments. I learned
from these labourers that pottery had also frequently turned up in
gravel excavated at Preston Porstal, at least Jt quarter of a mile
north of Preston Court pit; so that upwards of three-quarters of a
mile (in length) is marked by the discovery of Eoman pottery.
It would seem then that the Dearson Cemetery was not a mere
isolated one, but that the burials had been spread out along a con-
siderable length of road. Near I ckham* other Roman vesselsbave been
found beside this road. So we cannot regard the Dearson burial-
ground as the cemetery of Roman "Wingham. Of the fictile vessels
I have figured, it will be noted that the most perfect and interesting
specimens were found in the Dearson gravel pit ; this, however, is
partly owing to the care there taken to preserve the specimens entire
when met with. I interested Mr. Goodson (the owner of the pro-
perty), and he informed me whenever the disturbed state of the
gravel, or traces of charcoal and fire, suggested the probjibility of a
Roman interment having taken place at any spot.
In the Preston Court gravel pit I have found a Roman Quern,
traces of trenches in the gravel, and quantities of pottery generally
in a broken condition. In one case burnt bones were found im-
bedded in an oval mass of partly burnt clay, probably a rude
imitation of a funeral urn. In most cases the pottery has been of a
rude or common description, of blue smoulder kiln-baked, but all of
good design, and comparable with most of the Upehurch pottery.
Some of the Samian vessels, from long exposure in the porous, damp
gravel, had their red enamel so injured as to crumble away on
exposure, and their potters' marks obliterated. The pit at Dearson,
which lies nearer to Wingham than the other pits, has yielded the
greater number of the best specimens of fictile vessels.
Mr. Roach Smith, in a note added to my paper in ArcTueologia
Cantiana, vol. xii., p. 58, suggested that what I described as a
Roman kiln at Dearson was probably a baked clay tomb, and referred
* A Roman red clay bottle like No. 5, found by Mr. Minter, now in my
collection.
FROM PRESTON NEAR WING MAM. 51
to some examples he gave in Arch&ologia Canfiana, vol. xi.. p. 115.
Be this as it may, there appear to have been (nearer Preston
Church) some rather curious cases in which a Dumber of vessels
were found close together; in one grave seven or eight had been
put with one interment, in a gravel pit near Dearson Wood (about
a quarter of a mile distant). The pottery described as Up-
church ware, found here, is all of a coarse kind. I have sev< ral
specimens of a much better article found in Kent. Mr. F. (». Hilton
Price described in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute,
vol. v., p. 301, "a Romano-British" cemeterj at Seaford in Sussex,
where similar pottery was found. Mr. Price remarks, "In some
instances black patches were observed in which fragments of burnt
pottery, flints, pieces of charcoal, and charred bones were found;
most of these patches contained one or more iron nails, and these
patches marked the spots where interments had been made." Mr.
Price suggests that after the body had been burnt on the funeral
pyre, the ashes were collected and placed on a cloth or in a napkin,
and fastened with iron nails, as he supposes, marking the interments
of the poorer class, whose friends were not in a position to afford
the expense of a funeral urn. In several places in the Preston
gravel pits I have met with somewhat similar instances, and it seems
probable that interments had been made near the dwellings, and
not collected in one cemetery ; if this is so, it may account for the
interments having been scattered over so large an area.
The examples I have figured are taken from the best preserved
specimens, and only one example is given of each character.
I have found in addition many duplicate specimens, and a great
many fragments of others. In 1872, I made water-colour drawings
of many of the best specimens from Mr. Goodson's gravel pit, and
they are now in the possession of Mrs. Goodson of Cleve Court
in the Isle of Thanet. That lady has the terra-cotta rabbit, and
she had also a nice specimen of an entire glass vessel, about six
inches in height, which I have not been able to figure ; it was of
the usual square moulded form, with truncated neck, a small
mouth, and small handle ; it would hold about one pint. Several
pieces of iron, probably nails, and a bronze piece of a spur (or some-
thing very like one) were found in the Dearson pit.
1 will now describe the drawings which arc all made to one
scale : —
1. A fine oval blue vessel found in the Dearson pit ; it contained
burnt bones.

13. Small glass unguent vessel of green glass from a large urn.
D. 1.
14. Urn of brown colour with lid, containing bones ; in Preston
Court pit similar lids appear to have been used to cover wide-mouthed
urns, but most of them had been broken.
15. One of the largest urns met with, of rather coarse material
and red. D. 1.
16. This vessel, the only one of the sort met with, is unique not
only in material but in ornamentation; it is of rather thick clay of a
brown-blue colour, containing small angular fragments of flint,
which calcined white in the burning. I found a fragment of a thick
urn of precisely the same material in the Saxon Cemetery at Wick-
ham-breux. The ornaments on this vessel consist of some rude forms,
intended perhaps to represent geese, which seem to have been stuck
on while the clay was soft ; these are on opposite sides of the vessel ;
between them is the representation of a man having a sort of striped
tunic over his shoulders, and with his arms brought across his stomach
in a rather indecent way, the feet are turned, in, while the modelling
of the whole is very rude. The head was broken off with the
upper part of the urn. D. 1.
17. A brown-blue patera. Preston Court.
18. Upchurch ware. D. 1.
19. Red ware earthen bottle. A similar but larger one was
found at Preston Court and AVickham. D.
20. Eed Samian patera. Preston.
21. Small Samian patera. IX

22. A yellow, thin vessel, probably Durobrivian ware. Dearson.
23. A terra-eotta yellow vessel in the form of a rabbit, the ears
are elevated, and form a support to a neck, wbieb is perforated
down to the hollow body ; this neck forms the front part of the
handle of the vessel. The mouth of the rabbit is likewise per-
forated, the whole body forming a sort of jug. What could be the
use of this singular Roman relic ? I would venture on the opinion
that it was an infant's feeding-bottle ; it certainly would serve admir-
ably for such a purpose. When filled with milk, if the thumb were
placed over the neck of the vessel, it would very effectually stop its
running out at the mouth ; while if the infant was sucking at the
mouth of the vessel, and the upper part were left open, it would
freely flow.
24. A red terra-cotta vessel like a small teapot, probably like-
wise a feeding-bottle.
It may be noted by referring to the map, opposite, that these
" Romano- British " cemeteries lie scattered along a way that must
have been thickly populated in Roman times, and occupy an area
adjoining the parish church, far from the village population, which
now lives more to the north-east — " Preston Street."
The Roman way must have continued past the church to the
" Porstal," where pottery has been met with. The church has
no feature I believe older than the thirteenth century, but just
beyond its present churchyard " the rude forefathers of the hamlet
sleep."
Since this paper was written, a fresh batch of pottery has been
met with in the Preston Court gravel pit, one item being a large red
cemetery urn.

THE KENTISH FAMILY OF LOVELACE.
N,>. II.
BV THE REV. A. J. PEAK MAX, M.A.
Since my paper on tin appeared in our Tenth Volume* I
bave obtained Further inform! o correcl a !Vu
of my former statements, and to lifj the remainder.
I expressed the opinion ' *e who died in 1 L98,
a i (J whose sons possessed, the P. King Lown, and
Maplescomb estates, was ;; son 'cer of London,
and a brother of Sir Richard, tl ■. ! of John,
1o whom his father bequeathed fch • i in r of Bay;' well as of
Katharine, who inherited Hever. The proof thai this opinion is well
founded is the record of a Writ, dated 20 December : n citing
that in Cha.ncery, E. T. 2 Richard III., it was adjudged that
" William Lovelas should make a sure and lawful estate unto his
sister Katharine, wife of William Founteyn, and her lawful issue.
of the manor of Hevyr in the parish of Kyndesdowne, co. Ken!.''
Katharine either died childless, or parted with her property to her
brother, for at his death he left it to his son. This William, who
had married Laura Peckham, was, I suppose, the "William Love-
lesse of Kingsdowne," who was cited 29 December 1 172. on a charge
of marrying his spiritual sister, i.e., a woman for whom his mother
had acted as Sponsor, " qua' mat' tenuit' ad coniirmaco'em Epi'."
Mr. A. A. Arnold kindly examined the records of the Rochester
Consistory Court, and informs me that the accused appeared in the
Parish Church of Dartford on the 6th (or 11th) January 1472-3,
and "exhibited a dispensation" on which the proceedings were
adjourned or referred " coram domino." and no further allusion to
the case occurs. I imagine that the " William Lovelace of Merton,
late of Bethersden," who was pardoned for his share in Cade's
rebellion, was the same as he who died at Faversham in 1478, and
not this William of KingsdownJ and Queenhithe. I refer to this
* Arch. Cant., Vol X.. pp. 181—220.
t Seager states in his Baronagivm tint, by deed of 10 Edward IV. (1 17!'),
William Lovelarie and Kiohard his brother released the manors of B-ayford and
Goodnestone to Sir Thomas Bourchier, Kt , and others, " quae nuper fuerunt
liic. Lovelace patris n'ri et Johannis L. fratris n'ri." He als> says that John
Lovelace, the (irst in the pedigree, had sisters or aunts named Mirien Shalke aud
Elizabeth Gateman.

for the purpose of remarking that in the Paston Letters we hav<
a proof of the active part taken by one of this family, be he who
he may, in the insurrection. Payn, Sir John Past dlf's servant,
relating his own experiences, writes: "The captain that same
time let take me at the White Hart in Southwark and there com-
manded Lovelace to despoil me out of mine array, and so he did ; and
there he took a fine gown of muster-devillers furred with fine
beaver, and one pair of brigandines covered with blue velvet and gilt
nails, with leg harness ; the value of the gown and brigandines £8."
This William of Eavcrsham, whose "lyvelod" was at Bethersden,
was doubtless the person who, 1 October 1455, was supervisor of the
will of Thomas Heth of Woolwich. He had two daughters, one of
whom was in all probability the ancestress of Sir Simonds D'Ewes.
Sir Simonds, speaking of his mother, says : " She was the sole
daughter and heir of Richard Simon Is of Coxden, co. Dorset, Esq.,
yet was not born in the western parts, but at Eaversham in co. Kent,
the 29 November (being Sunday), 2 afternoon, a.d. 1579. Her birth
happened to be in this place because it had formerly been resided in
by Johan her mother, being at the time her father married her
widow of John Nethersole, Esq., being daughter also of a Stephens,
a surname very ancient in that shire, but of small eminence in these
days, yet she was nearly allied unto (if not descended from an
inheritance of) the family of Lovelace."* And again, "Of my
mother's family I can say little. She was sole daughter and heir of
Eichard Simonds and of Johanna his wife, the daughter of William
Stephens of Kent, and of Ellen his wife, the daughter and heir of
a Lovelace (as hath been received by tradition), and that she was
heir to the said Ellen, whence my grandfather did about 13 years
since (1591) cause to be depicted over the chimney of his dining-
room at Coxden his own coat armour impaled with Lovelace and
Ensham quarterly, which may yet be seen. What be had to
assert his assuming of them 1 know not." The dates, however, make
it much more likely that (unless D*Ewes has omitted a generation) his
ancestress was a daughter of William Lovelace, the son of the last
mentioned, who, as we learn from the records of New Eomney, wras
born at Wickhambreaux, and " admitted to the franchise of Eomene
on the 14th day of June 1 Eichard III.," having to give for his
fine, paid beforehand, 6s. St/. " And if he remain without the liberty
of the said town he shall give for his yearly contribution 20,7."
Tliis seems to be the " cousin of Sir Eichard," noted by Seager in
his Baronagium. I have not found when or where he died, but he
appears to have left no son, and his property at Bethersden must
have devolved on his relatives Sir Eichard and William of Kings-
down, or one of them.
Evidences— Topographer and Genealogist, vol ii., p. 268). Elsewhere she is
called " Mary, daughter of William Lovelace of Bethersden, whose ancestor had
married the heir of Broxl>>urne."
* The Visitation, of Kent 1574 calls Alice, wife of William Lovelace of
Bethersden, who died 1540, " daughter of Stivins." But her heir could not have
been Simonds' wife, as she left a son, the Fuel's great-grandfather.
oG THE KKNTlsif FAMILY OF LOVELACE.
SlH Kit III Kl) LOTELACE-
To what f have already written respecting Sir Richard, I can
only add that, 11 February list;, he received a "grant, during
pleasure, of an annuity of 50 marks oul of the Issues of the Town
of ( 'a la is and the marches of the same" and i hat ten days afterwards
a mandate was addressed to the "Treasurer of the Town of Calais
1<> pay divers sums of money to Adrian ami Richard Lovelas which
hail been heretofore granted to them by letters patent of Edward
\\ . and Richard Ml., and which are confirmed to them by Henry
VII." His nephews were unquestionably his heirs, A MS. in
the Library of Queen's College, Oxford, contains a Confirmation,
dated 2 December (5 Elizabeth (1563)j by E. ('(Mike, Clarencieux,
'"of this Arises (Lovelace and Eynsham) quartered to William Love-
lace of Canterbury, Esq., Seriante at Lawe, being one of the heires
of Sr Richard Louelace, Knt\, late Marshall of (alleys, deceased,
according to the custome of GaueUkynde in Kent, which Richard
died sans issue, after whose death the inheritance descended to J°
Louelace of Kingsdowne Esq. and to William Louelace of Bothers-
den Esq., sonnes of William Louelace Esq. brother unto the said
Sir Richard, which William had issue the aforesaid Wm. Louelace,
Seriante at Lawe. And the gift of the Creast is allowed unto
William Lovelace Esq., and to all the heires and posteritie of the
said Sir Richard and William Louelace grandfather to the said Wil-
liam."
Serjeant Lovelace.
The Serjeant, to whom this " Confirmation " was given, and whose
portrait, with those of his son, grandson, and great-grandson, is in
the Dulwich Gallery, was a man of some eminence in his profession,
and probably the person referred to by Mr. Riley, when in his note
to the Fifth Rej^ort of the Historical MSS. Commission, he remarked :
" The surname Lovelass is still remembered as that of a writer of
authority upon Wills." I have already given a pretty full sketch of
his career, but we are indebted for an interesting account of his
labours in connection with the Commission of 1561 for the repair of
Rochester Bridge, and for a facsimile of his writing, to the valuable
paper by Mr. A. A. Arnold in Arch. Cantiana, Vol. XVII. From
that account I note that in July 1561 he had " gon downe to his house
in the Welde of Kent," i.e., to Lovelace Place in Bethersden, which
at that time of year, when the roads were dry and the trees in leaf,
would be a pleasant change from London and Canterbury, and that
22 September he refers to his " greyhoundes," of which as a country
gentleman he seems to have been fond. Two or three other items I
have gathered respecting him. Eoxe, in his Acts and Monuments
(vol. v'iii., p. 235, Church Historians of England), says: "I am
credibly certified, that in the eighth year of Queen Elizabeth, certain
scalps and other young infants' bones were found and taken out
with a stick in the hole of a stone wall in Lenton Abbey, by certain
gentlemen within the county of Nottingham (James Barusse,
THE KENTISH FAMILY OF LOVELACE. 57
Richard Loveit, and W. Lovelace) walking in the prior's chamber ;
witness the said AV. Lovelace, with others which saw the bones
aforesaid." The Serjeant is probably here referred to; having been,
as we know, associated in 1559 with Jewel in a Commission for the
Establishment of Religion. "With Lord Chief Baron Saunders he
acted as Justice of Assize for Oxfordshire, 27th February 14 Eliza-
beth, In 1574 Reynolde Scot published a black-letter pamphlet
entitled a Per/He Platforme of a Hoppe Garden, and dedicated it to
" "William Lovelace of Bethersden, Sergeaunt at the Lawe." It
contains illustrations shewing that in earlier times the growers
banked the earth high about the sets. In one of the cuts the
"hills" appear about four feet high, rounded and smoothed like an
inverted flower-pot. At the funeral of Archbishop Parker, 1575,
Serjeant Lovelace walked in the procession with his old antagonist
Chief Baron Manwood, and let us hope that salutary thoughts passed
through the minds of both, as they followed their patron to the
grave, In his History of the Star Chamber, Mr. Burns writes : " In
a case (Michaelmas, 4 James I.), Egerton said he remembered in Sir
N. Bacon's time, that a Demurrer was put into the Star Chamber
unto a Bill, for that the Bill was for other offences than were
contained in the Statutes of 1 and 3 Henry VII., to which Serjeant
Lovelace being then a young man put his hand, and was sharply
reproved. His excuse was that ' Mr. Plowden had put his hand
unto it, and he supposed he might in anything follow St. Austin.' "
From the entry of his burial in the Register of St. Alphage, Can-
terbury, it appears, under the date of April 1, 1577, that " Sereiant
Lovelas died the xxiij4' day of Marche last past in London, and was
buryed in the bodye of Christe Church in Caunturberye."
I find that in my pedigree of the Bethersden Lovelaces I have
made a -mistaken suggestion as to the death of the Serjeant's widow.
I had thought that she was possibly the " Mrs. Lovelace, lately
deceased," in 1591, " before whose pew in S* Alphege, Canterbury,
Christopher Turner, Gent., was buried," but by her will proved
29 April 1578 she desired to be buried at South "Warnborough,
Hants. She mentions her previous husband Thomas Carell, her
daughters Frances Carell and Mabel Lovelace, both under 21, her

Sir William Lovelace, Senior.
I have nothing to add to what I have already said of Sir William
Lovelace, Senior, the Serjeant's elder son, whose portrait is also at
Dulwich, except that in 1007 he granted a lease for forty-one years
to "Richard Long, of Bethersden, Wholkeemer (? Woolcomber),
58 THE KENTISH l'\.MILV OF LOVELACE.
of a tenement called Poulehurst," and I mention this Eor the sake
of suggesting thai "Long's Corner," the poinl al which the road
from Bethersden to Biddenden and Smarden divides, maj be called
after this man. Perhaps Sir William, who was not knighted until
L599, is the person mentioned in the letter of Lord Burghlej to Sir
K. Cecil, 29 March 1594. " l!\ your letter and by the message of
Mr. Loveless I perceive ber Majestj wold bave me come to the
court to-morrow."
Sir John Collimore, his son-in-law, was knighted as "of Kent"
al the Tower, II March L604. His "Marriage Allegation" runs:
•■ L60|, 17 Feb., John Collymore, Mercer, of S' Thomas Apostle,
London, Bachelor, l".». and Mabel Lovelace, Maiden, is. of S1
Bride's, London, daughter of Sir William Lovelace, Knight, of the
City of Canterbury, who consents; consent also of M1' James Colly-
more, of S1 Thomas Apostle, .Merchant, father of said John; at s1
Thomas Apostle aforesaid." Their daughter Mabel died unmarried
at Dr. llanle's house, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral, L668.
Lovelace the Poet.
My next addition is one that sets at rest the question which has
" exercised the minds " of some of his biographers, as to the amount
of " Bail " required of Sir William's grandson the Poet, as a con-
dition of his release from the imprisonment to which the House of
Commons had condemned him for his share in the second presenta-
tion of the Kentish Royalist Petition of 1642. Anthony "Wood gives
it as £40,000. Following the, in this "instance, unfortunate guidance
of Mr. Hazlitt, I wrote " it was ordered that he be forthwith bailed
upon good security, probably for £4000." When I came to examine
the Parliamentary Journals for myself, I found, under date 21
June 1642, " That this House doth approve of William Clarke,
Esq., of B/Ootham in Kent, and Thomas Flood, Esq., of Otton in
Kent, to be bail for Captain Lovelace, £10,000 the Principal,
£5000 apiece the Sureties."
Thomas Flood, or Fludd, was of Gore Court in Otham. William
Clarke, afterwards knighted, was of Ford in Wrotham, and fell in the
skirmish at Cropredy Bridge, 29 June 1644.
The Poet's mother was married to her second husband, Dr.
Brown, at Greenwich, 20 January 1630. His sister Anne marrie L
the Bev. John Gorsage, Rector of Walkern, Herts ; and his sister
Elizabeth wedded Daniel Hayne of Kintbury Eaton, Berks, who at
the time of the marriage, 28 March 1664, was thirty-seven years of
age.
Lovelaces of Kixgsdowx.
John Lovelace of Hever in Kingsdown was in the Commission
of the Peace for Kent, 20 May 1531. His son Thomas, who had
been named in the will of his uncle William as " supervisor," seems
to have been living at Lovelace Place in 1554, since in that year he
is described as " of Bethersden " in the Commission empowering him,
with others, to "bail and set at large such of the offenders in
TIIE KENTISH FAMILY OF LOVELACE. 59
"Wyatt's Rebellion as were in prison in Kent, and at their discretion
to compound with them according to the nature of their offences."
In .May L555 he was "Escheator" at the inquisition held at East
Greenwich on the death of John Eitz, and in L560 was "Super-
visor" of the will of Thomas Hurst, Gent., of Lewisham, who left
land at Great Chart.
Referring, no doubt, to Leonard Lovelace, the successor of
Thomas. R. Whyte writes to Sir Robert .Sidney, L3 October 1597:
'•Even now Mr. Lovelace of Kent came unto me and desired me to
procure hym some answer from your Lordship to a Lettre he sent
you: yt is about a colt he saves is unduly detained from hym in
Oteford Park. His sute unto you is thai \ou wil direct your lettre
to Sir Thomas Walsingham, Sir John Levison, Mr. Leonard, Mr.
Sidley, or any two of them, to examine the cause. I promised to
wryte unto you about yt, for he is one of them that gave you his
voice in the Election, and I have thancked hym for yt."
The Plymouth MSS. contain two or three letters addressed to
Richard Lovelace, Leonard's brother and heir, which may be worth
transcribing.
" To worsliipfull my very good uncle Mr. Richard Lovelace give these.
"Good Uncle. I in most humble manner do dedre to hear from you and my
good aunt for I do account yon the cue of the dearest friends I have. Though
we are separated from our friends, it will be a great comfort to hear from them,
and if it will please yon to come this Summer into Kent we shall be as glad to
see yon as any friend we have. Dear Uncle, I think that you would gladly hear
how the case standeth with us, as I thank God we are all well and my father
useth us kindly as we would desire, and thus with my duty to my good aunt and
yourself I humbly take my leave, desiring God to send you health and my little
cousin, from Ywilldershire.

Margaret, aunt of Sir John Molyneux of Notts, and widow of
Leonard Lovelace, had married secondly Thomas Clerke of Hyde
Abbey. Winchester. Her nephew was a prisoner for debt, and his
affairs were in inextricable confusion.
"To my especial good friend Mr. Richard Lovelace Esq" at Colham these.

" George Gosse.
"I saw your brother to-day in ... . his .... saluting gentlewomen, whose
courtesy I was loth to interrupt, but 1 saw lie was well and left him to his

Richard Lovelace hired the manor house of Colham in the parish
of Hillingdon, near Uxbridge, of Lord Chancellor Ellesmere, whose
wife is the " my lady " referred to in the letter. He was also, I
believe, agent for some of her property. His rent in 1616 amounted
to £161 12*., of which £28 10s. was for "the great Park," £9 for
" Hanger wood," and £19 for " Colham mill."
The second wife of Richard Lovelace was, as I have said, Jane
Monke, widow of Roger Day. It seems that, though not married
until she had attained the mature age of forty-eight, she survived her
wedding day not less than sixty years ! She was buried at Thorington
Church, Suffolk, where, " on a small stone slab under the altar,
removed from its original position," is the following inscription to
her memory : " Here resteth ye body of Jane daugbter of Francis
Monke Esq1' first married to Roger l)ay Gent., and after his decease
to Richard Lovelace of Kingsdowne in ye County of Kent Esq1',
whom she also overlived, but had not any childe by eyther of them.
She was a godly sober and vertuous woman and lived (by ye blessing
of God) until she was one hundred and eight yeares of age. In
whose honour and memory Henry Coke Esq1' and Margaret his
wife (sole daughter and heire of ye said Richard Lovelace by Elizab.
his former wife) have erected this monument. This Jane for yc
affectionate love as well to hir husband Richard Lovelace, as to the
said Henry and Margaret and their children, gave all her estate of
Value to those children as by hir last will appeareth. She Christianly
and peacibly passed out of this mortal life ye 12 day of June 1630
in ye faviour of Crod and good men." The will gives £600 to
Richard Coke, and £100 to Ciriar Coke, and the codicil all above
£800 equally between Roger, Ciriar, Robert, Bridget, and Jane.
THE KENTISH FAMILY OF LOVELACE. 61
The old lady lived in the reigns of Henry VIII., Edward VI.,
Mary, Elizabeth, James L, and Charles I., and might have seen both
Katharine of Arragon and Henrietta Maria as Queens Consort of
England.
If the above inscription is rightly given, Richard Lovelace's first
wife could not have been Mary, daughter of Serjeant Lovelace, as
on Hasted' s authority I have asserted. The Serjeant had no
daughter Elizabeth, so far as I know.
The marriage between Henry Coke (son of the Chief Justice)
and Margaret Lovelace was solemnized at Hillingdon, Middlesex,
24 August 1619.*
Henry Lovelace.
The second son of John Lovelace of Kingsdown who died in
1546, Henry Lovelace, the ancestor of the Canterbury family,
inherited " Snatts" in Kingsdown from his father. He was admitted
a freeman of the Mercers' Company 1530, "by Servitude," having
been apprenticed to Mr. Robert Chertsey. In his will, made
1 August 1577, he describes himself as " Gentelman, of Chalke,"
near Gravesend, and left Snatts and lands in Kingsdown, Maples-
comb, Woodland, and Shoreham to his eldest son Thomas, with
remainder to his next son Launcelot (afterwards Recorder of
Canterbury); mentioning "Margery" (nee Hamon), "his wife,"
and his " brother Edward," to whose " daughter Agnes, then a
servant in his house," he bequeathed a legacy ; also his sister
" Alice, and his sister Byrd of Chipstead ;" giving something to the
poor of Chalke and of Kingsdown " where I was born," and
desiring to be buried at Chalke. This last wish was not carried out.
For not only do the Registers of Chalke contain no reference to him
or his family, but Launcelot Lovelace of St. Botolph's without
Aldersgate, who in 1573-4 was Collector for Kent of rents of sup-
pressed Chantries, and whose account book, from 25 March 1584 to
November 1586, is in the British Museum, by will, proved 21 June
1605, directed that he should be buried at Kingsdown " near his
brothers Thomas and Henry.'1''
Thomas Lovelace.
Henry's elder son, Thomas, must be he of whom Stow, in his
Annals, tells the following sad story : " The 11th of Eeby 1585
Thomas Lovelace was brought prisoner from the Tower of Lon-
* The Visitation of Rutland in 1618-19, with Additions, as published by the
Harleian Society, contains a statement which it seems impossible to reconcile
■with the facts. On page 6 Walter Houghton of Kind's Cliff, Northampton,
and afterwards (1630) of Kilthorpe in Rutland, is represented as having married
as his second " wiffe Elizabeth, d. of Lovelace of Hillingdon in Com' Mid'sex."
The Thorington inscription appears plainly to contradict this assertion. It is,
however, possible that Richard Lovelace may have had a daughter Elizabeth,
who died childless in her father's lifetime, and whose surviving sister Margaret
was therefore spoken of as his " sole daughter and heir." The fact that wife
and daughter are both called " Elizabeth " strengthens this supposition. The
Register of St. Alphage, Canterbury, records the burial there, 12 April 1596, of
" Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Richard Lovelace, Gent."

don to the Starre Chamber against whom heT Majestie's Attorney
General did inform thai the same Lovelace, upon malice conceived
againsl Leonard and Richard Lovelace his cousin germaines, bad
falsely and devilishly contrived and counterfeited a very fcrayterous
letter in the name of Thomas Lovelace, another brother of the said
Richard and Leonard then resident beyond the seas, purporting thai
the said Thomas should thereby incite and provoke the said Leonard
to procure the Baid Richard t<> execute her BLighnesse destruction,
with other circumstances of Treason. This letter he cast in an open
highway, pretending thai upon the discovery thereof Ids said kinsmen
Leonard and Richard should be draw ne in question t'oi' the treason-
able matter againsl her Majeslie in thai bill contained, even In the
highesl degree, for which offence her Majestie's attorney prayed the
said Thomas, then prisoner, might receive condigne punishment.
Whereupon the court adjudged that he should be carried on horse-
back about Westminster Hall with his face to the horsetaile and a
paper on Ins backe wherein to be written: 'For counterfeiting of
false and treacherous letters against his owne kindred, containing
most traiterous matter against her Majestie's person.' And from
thence to be carried in that manner, and set on the pillorie in the
Palace at Westminster and there to have one of his eares cut off ;
also to be carried in like manner into London and set on the pillorie
one market day in Cheape, with the like Paper. After that, carried
into Kent and at the next assize there to be set on the Pillory with
the like paper, and his other ear to be cut off. Also to be set on
the Pillory one market day at Canterbury and another at Rochester
in the like manner ; and at every the aforesaid places this order
taken touching his offence to be openly read, the sentence whereof
was duly executed in the Palace at Westminster, in Cheape, etc."
Of course it was not he who went as "Pilgrim to Pome in 1583,"
as I suggested in the Pedigree, but Thomas, son of Thomas Lovelace
of Kingsdown. I know nothing of his subsequent history.
I can add but little to what I have already written concerning
the Canterbury Lovelaces.* Mr. Hovenden informs me that from
an indenture in his possession, dated 20 January 36 Elizabeth, it
appears that Mary Cayser of Hollingbourne, wife of Lancelot Love-
lace of Gray's Inn, had been previously married to Richard Rivers,
and was the mother by him of a son named AVilliam, on whom by a
deed of 10 November 1 Charles I. (1625) a portion of her property
was settled.
The Rivers Family were seated at Chafford in Penshurst.
Leonard, the son of Lancelot and Mary, is described as "Woollen
draper " of Canterbury. I refer to him for the sake of noticing
what is undoubtedly a mistake in the Register of St. Mary Magda-
len, Canterbury. Under date " 1635 Aprill the 7," we read, "was
* To prevent mistakes it may be well to say that the Bethersden branch of
the family had property in Canterbury, but that by the " Canterbury Love-
laces " I mean Lancelot and his descendants, who lived and held municipal
office in the city.

baptized Lancelot Louelas sonne of Leonarde and Ingle his wife."
But Leonard, 26 September 1632, married Martin, daughter of
Alderman Whiting, by whom he had children born in 1637 and
1639. The Alderman had a daughter Ingle, and the clergyman, no
doubt, wrote the name of one sister for that of the other, forgetting,
it may be, which of the Misses Whiting Mr. Lovelace had married.
Mr. J. M. Cowper tells me that the name Ingle occurs as a surname
in the Register of St. Paul's, Canterbury, and as a Christian name
also, having been bestowed in 1599 on the daughter of James Chilton,
one of the Pilgrim Lathers.

EARLY PRESENTATIONS TO KENTISH
BENEEICES.
BY KEV. T. S. FIIAMPTON, M.A.
Letters of Presentation to Benefices from the Sovereign
are of frequent occurrence throughout the Patent Rolls.
They were generally given either by reason of the preferment
being Crown patronage, or through a vacancy in the See,
though there were other grounds for the exercise of the
right.
The Patent Rolls commence with the 3rd year of King
John. Those for the 10th, 11th, and 12th years of his reign
are unfortunately missing, which is all the more to be
regretted by the student of Kentish Ecclesiastical History,
as during the whole of that time the Temporalities of the
See of Canterbury were in the King's hands, and he disposed
of all preferments belonging to the Archbishop which
happened to fall vacant. The Rolls for the 23rd and 24th
years of King Henry III. are also missing. With these
exceptions the series is complete throughout.
The Patent Rolls for King John's reign were printed in
verbal facsimile, and with admirable Indexes of Persons and
Places, in the year 1835, under the direction of the Public
Record Commissioners. Those for the reign of King
Henry III. have not yet been so treated.
The Presentations given below are valuable, as being
earlier in date than any Institutions entered in the Registers
of the Archbishops in Lambeth Palace Library, which
commence with the accession of Archbishop Peckham in the
year 1279.
It may be useful to Compilers of Lists of Incumbents to
mention that there is in the Public Record Office a MS.
Calendar of Presentations to Benefices in various dioceses,
including those of Canterbury and Rochester from 1 Edw. I.
to 24 Edw. III. The volume contains presentations to
more than two hundred benefices in Kent, and is well worth
examination. There are also some well-preserved Sede
Vacante Registers among the Cathedral Archives at Canter-
bury, which, with the Calendar above mentioned, form a
useful supplement to the better known Episcopal Registers.

( 71 )
ON THE OLD RECTORY AT NORTHFLEET.
BY GEORGE M. ARNOLD, F.S.A.
This building, with about nine acres of land, came into my
possession in 1890. I purchased it mainly with the object of strip-
ping off its successive coats of exterior mortar, and of disclosing its
ancient timber-framed construction.
The architect to whom I entrusted the work (Mr. Herbert
Baker) has kindly favoured me with a paper written from his pro-
fessional standpoint, which I promised to preface by a few lines
respecting the possible, if not probable, history of the building, but
these lines I fear will be found to afford little in the way of identi-
fication, and will leave large room for speculative views on the part
of others.
At the time when the great Norman Survey, Domesday, was
taken, Northfleet Church and the manor belonged to the Metro-
politan See of Canterbury. Archbishop Cranmer conveyed the
manor and the advowson of the vicarage to King Henry VIII. by
his deed of exchange of November 30th, 29 Henry VIII. The
manor ultimately found its way into the Calcraft family.
In the modern tithe apportionment of Northfleet the old rectory
land is tithe-free, and is described as glebe.
With the church of Northfleet, the saintly Anselm (who became
Archbishop of Canterbury in a.d. 1093) endowed the Cathedral
Priory of St. Andrew's, Eochester ; all its attendant lands, tithes,
oblations, and appurtenances being included in his gift. A charter
of Archbishop Eichard confirmed to the monks there, "Ecclesiam
de Norfliete cum pertinentes ejus, cum decimis de Yfield (another
manor in the parish) & de la Dune."
Further confirmation followed under the authoi'ity of a Metro-
politan Synod of Archbishop Baldwin in 1 Eichard I. : " Ecclesiam de
Nortflete cum decimis de Hyffeld et de la Dune."
72 ON THE <)U> RECTORY AT NORTH FLEET.
Respecting benefactions to St. Andrew's. Rochester (Thorpe
licq. Eqjff\, p. IK!)' Bituate within the Archdiocese, we read as
follows: "Anselmus Archiepiscopus dedil ecclesiam de Northfliete.
Eadulfus Archiepiscopus dedit decimam de Casfeld, de Wenivalle,
dc Dune."
In a charter of Archbishop Richard of March a.d. 1177, at the
British Museum (Jiih. Co/ton Domitian A, x., 9), we find that
out of his affection to the church of Rochester and the monks
dwelling there, he confirmed them in the same possessions.
Archbishop Ralph (JReg. liojf'., p. 113) in his confirmation
charter made in the presence of Arnulph, Bishop of Rochester,
includes: "Ecclesiam de Northflete quatn Anselmus dedit monachis
in Roffa Deo famulantibus," and he adds, "et de meo dominico
do eis imam acram terre iu mea propria cultura, in campo
que dicitur Gudlesfelde ad edificandum domos sibi et suo capellano,
ad opus predicte ecclesie et totam decimam de meo dominico
& omnes decimas villanorun qui habent terram in Doune," etc., etc.
Amongst the archives of the Dean and Chapter of Kochester
Cathedral is contained a charter by Archbishop Hubert made at
Canterbury (1 John), wherein the Archbishop speaks of the fore-
going gifts (Ilegistrum Roff., p. 506) : " Cedent eciam libere & sine
omni molestia in usus monachorum decirne de la Dune & decime
de Wenifalle & de tenementis Nigelli & alie decime quas per loca
diversa in parochia de Northflete, ex collacione fidelium ab antiquo
percipere cousueverunt." The Archbishop in the name of the
church of Canterbury renews and confirms the grant of Northfleet
Church to the monastery of Rochester. Yet, from some unexplained
reasons, he had presented to the rectory his own nominee, and the
monks of Rochester never again enjoyed their former right to the
church and its temporalities. In 29 Henry VIII. Archbishop
Cranmer included iu his deed of exchange the rectory, the parsonage,
and the glebe.
Hasted* states that the reference to " "Wenifalle " denotes a
well-known locality in the parish called Windfield-Bank. Tins
"Windfield-Bank lies immediately south of and abuts upon the old
rectory property, which may probably be comprised in the term
" Dune." This hypothesis in its turn leads us to the derivation of
the word Dune. The English form of the Latin "Duna" would
suggest a situation by no means inapplicable to that occupied
by the old rectory, viz., immediately under an abrupt and sudden
* Folio ed., I., 44-5 ; octavo ed., iii., 316.
ON THE OLD RECTORY AT NORTHFLEET. 73
chalk hill or bank, at the base of which flows the spring which,
taking its rise close to the building, runs into the Fleet that gives
the parish its name.
The farm house on the highway opposite the rectory is known
as the Vale Farm House, indicative of the same hollow.
Dr. Cowell (edition 1708) describes " Duna " as a bank of earth
cast up, or the side of a ditch, and gives the following quotation :
" Faciet fossatum adeo forte & bonum prout voluit, ita quod f un-
dum a retro Dunae utriusque fossati sit in fundo 11 pedum."
(Chartular, Glaston., MS., fo. 75.)
There are traces of the foundation of outbuildings between
the old rectory house and the high road, which is here known as
" Snagg's Bottom," and it is conceivable that the present structure
served as a residence for a clerk (capellanus) and as a receptacle
for the grain and other tithe to which the Priory of St. Andrew was
entitled, and wherein they could be garnered and stored until for-
warded to the priory, or otherwise disposed of.
The vicarage house is situated close to the parish church, and I
have never heard of its existence at any other less convenient part
of the parish. This old rectory house is nearly a mile from the
church, and there is no very direct route connecting them.
MR. HERBERT BAKER'S NOTE RESPECTING THE OLD
RECTORY HOUSE AT NORTHFLEET.
The present structure was built probably early in the sixteenth
century (say circa 1510), and was constructed entirely of timber
in the form of a parallelogram, as shewn in black on the plan.
It contained a Hall, open from the ground to the roof ; two
chambers on either side about 6 feet G inches high, with rooms or lofts
over them ; and, at the north end of the building, a small chamber,
which, like the hall itself, had no ceiling below the roof.
This arrangement of high central hall, with low stories on either
side, we find almost universally adopted at this period for cottages
in the South of England, especially in the Weald of Kent and
Sussex. Careful examination will in almost all cases reveal that
the present floor over the central room or hall, and the chimney,
were added about a century later. About the end of the sixteenth
7i< ON THE OLD RECTORY AT NORTHFLEET.
century, the primitive method of burning a fire in 1 lie centre o\
the hall began to die out, and fireplaces came into general use in
the houses of the humbler classes.
Such cottages, once the resiliences of the proverbially well-to-do
yeomen, abound in Kent. One for example, by the churchyard
at Headcorn, has the history of its internal changes clearly marked
on its exterior. They are more rare in the chalk districts, but good
examples can be seen near Northflect, at Sole Street, and at Luddes-
down .
The more common arrangement, of having side stories on the
first floor projecting on overhanging timbers, is not followed at
Northfieet Rectory, where the rudeness and absence of ornamen-
tation and ordinary comforts (such as glass to the windows) denote
that the building was not intended for any family of means or
importance. This helps us to agree with the suggestion of Mr.
Arnold, that it was somewhat austerely built for the temporary
residence of the chaplain or steward appointed by St. Andrew's
Priory to superintend the collection and transmission to Rochester
of the grain and tithe from their lands at Northfieet.
The internal re-arrangement of the hall, the new staircase and
the additions at the back, all of which are shewn hatched on the
plan, were made in the next century, and we are fortunate in being
able to fix a date for them by the discovery (embedded in the ceiling
plaster) of a token, dated 1656, of Edward Pashlowe (who was
Mayor of the neighbouring town of Gravesend in 1653).
Although much damage has been done to the old timber work,
by the insertion of sash windows and the rebuilding of the decayed
portions, sufficient has fortunately been preserved beneath the
many coats of plaster, with which the whole building had been
covered, to shew the character of the work, and to fix an approxi-
mate date. The two original windows of the hall, wdiich were
opposite to each other, east and west, have been brought to
light. Their position proves that no upper floor could have existed
at first. They are of very curious detail, the mullions being very
close together and without groove, rebate, or any means of fixing
glass. They probably had wooden shutters which opened or shut
at will, to suit the conditions of light, weather, and smoke inside.
Most of the other window openings are still more primitive, being
filled in with square mullions placed close together and diagonally,
after the manner of cellar windows in old houses.
Only one old doorway remains inside, with moulded jambs
ON THE OLD RECTORY AT NORTIIFLEET. 75
and arched head, but there is sufficient evidence that the front
external doorway was similar in character.
The old floors are formed of oak joists, 7 inches by 5 inches, laid flat ;
while the floor introduced later into the hall has small deep joists
of a later style ; and that over the north room is quite modern.
The roof is strongly framed in oak with curved wind braces,
and appears substantial to our nineteenth century eyes, but is
simple in comparison with existing masterpieces of carpentry of
the sixteenth century. The timbers over the hall are black with a
thick coating of soot from the smoke with which they must
generally have been enveloped. Smoke could only have found its
way out through the chinks of the tiles, there being no sign of any
such louvred outlet as was usual in larger buildings. The unglazed
windows would have kept the lower part of the hall sufficiently
free from smoke to make it habitable.
There was probably no staircase to the upper rooms originally,
access being obtained to them by ladders from the hall ; by no
means an uncommon way of going to bed in those days.
The external framing of the timber work shews a curious
disregard of design, the lower part being of the usual massive post
and pan work, while, above, the curved braces are set back about
lj inch from the face of the main posts and window frames.
The original thick plaster, formed of marly clay and chopped straw,
with which they were covered, can still be seen in places. The
braces and uprights, where originally covered, are shewn in dotted
lines on the drawing of the elevation.
With the exception of the doors, the windows, and the main
timbers of the hall, which are rudely chamfered or hollow moulded,
there exists no moulding or carving of any sort. The builder had
no object other than to erect a rude and solid but almost barn-
like structure, and it is perhaps all the more interesting to us as
shewing the strength and durability of the honest and simple
craftsmanship of our ancestors.
The thanks of all lovers of antiquity are due to Mr. Arnold,
who, at great trouble and expense to himself, has rescued this
building from imminent destruction, and preserved it, in a neigh-
bourhood where such relics have for the most part disappeared.

Sill THOMAS SMYTHE, KNT.
(a.d. 1558—1025.)
by j. p. wadmore, a.k.t.b.a.
Thomas, the second surviving son of Thomas Smythe, Esq., of
AVestenhanger, by dame Alice his Avife, the daughter of Sir Andrew
Judde, was born probably in the parish of St. Dionis Backchurch,
or Allhallows, Lombard Street, if not at AVestenhanger, circa 1558.
Being one of thirteen children, he was early initiated into business
by his father, and appears to have taken up his freedom and livery
in the Haberdashers' Company by patrimony, as well as his freedom
in the Skinners', in 1580 (see Court Books and Apprenticeships).
It was in this year that the Merchant Adventurers of London
fitted out an expedition to A7irginia, which was commanded by
Philip Armados and Arthur Barlow, just eighty-eight years after
the discovery of America by Columbus. Another expedition was
equipped and fitted out at the expense of Sir A\r alter Kaleigh, in
the following year. Young Smythe was no idle spectator of these
events ; his monument alludes to " that rich new-found world which
westward lies," wherein he took so deep and lively an interest.
He was thrice married : 1, to the daughter and heir of Richard
Culverwell, but she died s.p. ; 2, to Joan, daughter of William
Hobbs ; 3, to Sarah, daughter and heir of William Blount, Esq.,
who afterwards married Robert Sidney, first Earl of Leicester.
He was nominated by Sir Nicholas Moseley, Lord Mayor, as
one of the Sheriffs for London and Middlesex,. June 17, 1599 ;
proclamation whereof was duly made at Paul's Cross Hustings in
the presence of the Lord Mayor, Mr. Recorder, and the Alder-
men, and he entered upon the office of Sheriff on the 6th of
November 1599.
In the following year he was seriously compromised, if not
actually implicated, in the attempt which the Earl of Essex made
to win the support of the citizens of London, against the Crown.
The Earl anticipated that the City would stand for him, and
that Mr. Sheriff Smythe, who commanded the Trained Bands,
would provide as many men as he could to join him. On the
8th February 160^, the Earl of Essex and his followers went on
to Mr. Sheriff Smythe's house in Gracious Street. Mr. Smythe
begged him not to enter, but he did so, and with many of his
followers went up stairs. AVhile there Mr. Sheriff Smythe stepped
out at the back gate to see the Lord Mayor. The Earl of Essex
withdrew, intending probably to leave the City peaceably, but on

SIR THOMAS SMYTHE, KNT. S3
reaching Ludgate, he found the gates shut, and the Bishop of
London with a force to bark him ; several shots were fired, and
Sir Christopher Blount was wounded. The reconnaissance had
proved a failure ; so the Earl and his party embarked at Queenhythe,
and got back to Essex House. After a vain attempt to fortify
himself and a few of his more daring followers, he was prevailed
upon to yield himself a prisoner to the Lord Admiral, and was
confined in the Tower. His trial took place at Westminster on
Februarv 19th, and his execution on February 25th 1600-1.
Mr. Sheriff Smythe was more leniently dealt with ; he was
examined before Lords Egerton, Buckhurst, and .Nottingham
(Calendar of Domestic State Papers, 1000, p. 560). He affirmed
that he had not previously spoken to the Earl for about nine years,
nor had he had any letter from him, save one which Udal brought
to his wife Sarah (daughter of William Blount) at church, which
was a copy of one to the Queen, written in the Earl's own hand.
He did not remember what passed between the Earl and John
Smythe, after the Earl had left his house. John Smythe (his elder
brother) was also examined at some length (Cal. D. S. P., 1600,
p. 558). He said that his brother Thomas did not come home till
11 p.m., when he was in bed. The Sheriff was very tired. The
Earl of Essex and his followers came to the house in Gracious
Street, and refusing to go to the Lord Mayor, the Earl thrust himself
into the house. Thomas had told him that he laid hold of the
horse's bridle, when Essex remarked, " You shall go with me, and
send for your Company," to which Smythe replied that the sates
were shut, and well manned, and the City in safety. " Would he
yield himself to the Lord Mayor?" Essex replied, "If you fear
God, love the Queen, and care for religion, look to yourself."
Mr. Sheriff Smythe admitted that being with her Majesty she
charged him with knowing of the Earl's going to the City by five
o'clock on Sunday morning, through one Temple, but he protested
to her that he never spoke to him, and so far, for the time, satis-
fied the Queen as to receive her thanks for his carriage on the day
of the tumult. But later on, the fact that the Earl had made a
personal visit to his house in Gracious Street, drew down suspicion,
so that he was discharged from his office of Sheriff; and the Livery
were called together to elect another in his stead, which they did
on Friday the 14th day of February 1600-1 (City Court Books ;
Cal. D. S. P., 1600, p. 581).
Some time after this both Mr. Smythe and Sarah his wife were
in durance and in danger of punishment for misprision (Cal.
H. S. P., 1600, p. 590).
That Sheriff Smythe was seriously compromised there can be
no doubt ; but on the decease of Queen Elizabeth, which occurred
shortly afterwards, he was enabled to regain his popularity with
his fellow citizens, and with her successor, James I., he rapidly rose
into favour. He was knighted in 1603.
In the following year he and his brother Bichard were
appointed Beceivers for the Duchv of Cornwall (D. S. P., 1601,
u 2
84 THE RUSSIA (OB MUSCOVEY) COMPANY.
p. 93). He at this time resigned, in favour of Rob. Middleton, the
receiverships of Dorsel and Somersel (I). 8. I'., 1604, p. 114).
As one of the inns! successful merchants of his time lie was
more or less intimately connected with mosl of those grand mer-
cantile companies which then competed with Spain and the Nether-
lands for toe trade of the world. Some of these arc specially
mentioned in his epitaph. A lew facts as to their formation, and
as to Sir Thomas Smytbe's connection with them may not, I trust,
be considered out of place.
Tut: Russia (or Muscovey) Company.
This Company is one of the many which grew out of that enter-
prising body the Merchant Adventurers; it was incorporated in the first
year of the reign of Queen Mary. The Charter of Incorporation was
granted to the Marquis of Winchester, Lord High Treasurer, the Earls
of Arundel, Bedford, and Pembroke, Lord Howard, Sebastian Cabot,
ISir Thomas Gresham, Sir Andrew Judde, Sir Thomas White, and
others ; the Corporation was to consist of a governor, two consuls,
and twenty-four assistants (Hakluyt, p. 265). Through the interest
of these members certain privileges and concessions for trade
with Russia were granted to the Company by John Vasilovich,
Emperor of Russia, Duke of Novogorode and Muscovey ; and in 1560
the Emperor sent over two accredited ambassadors, Stephen
Tiverdico and Theodore Pogrella, wdio had an audience with Queen
Elizabeth, at Oatlands, when they presented their credentials and
various gifts. She afterwards dispatched Master Thos. Randolph
as her representative to the Court of Russia, where at this time the
Company possessed two settlements — the Port of St. Nicholas and
the Town of Colmagro (see State Papers, Russia, Bundle 2, No.
141).
In 1584 the Muscovey Company acquired from the Crown
permission to trade with men and ships between the Equimo' and
the North Pole, and to search for and discover the North-West
Passage (Hakluyt, pp. 103, 104). London and Dunkerk were to
be free ports, or staples, for a term of twenty years ; the Crown
reserving to itself, as a royalty, one-fifth of all gold, silver, or
pearls imported. Of this project Sir Thomas Smythe, in 1612,
became the prime undertaker, speaking of it in these terms, " That
noble design for the discovery of the North- West Passage "
(Epitaph in Sutton at Hone Church).
The increasing success and importance of the Russia Company's
trade appears to have been viewed with ill-disguised jealousy by
the Swedes, Danes, and Dutch, who disputed the monopoly claimed
by the Company, and proceeded so far as virtually to close the
Sound to English vessels (D. S. P., April 26, 1598). In 15y8
these restrictions had become a serious grievance, sadly crippling
the action of the Company, who found themselves handicapped in
their own markets. This state of things is clearly set forth in the
following unpublished MS. in the State Paper Office, touching the
instructions jiiven to Sir Thos. Smythe. as Ambassador to Russia.
SIR THOMAS SMYTHE, KNT. 85
State Papers, Russia, Bundle 2, 1601-2 to 1618.
N° 95. Instructions for Sr Thomas Smith, knight, authorised by
his Ma'J vnder the great Seale of England to repaire as
Embassadour to the Emperour of Moscovye.
Whereas his Ma'y hath given you commission to negociate wth
the Emperour of Moscovye, and hath given you allso creditt by his
l'res for any thinge you shall sav vnto him, I haue thought good
for your further dyrection and carnage there to deliver you theise
Instructions.
ffirst in all your carriage to be carefull of the preservation
of the honour and dignitye of his Mates person whom you doe
represent, as well in your speaches, presentation of l'res, as in all
other circumstances, as farr as it standeth wth the custome of those
countreyes.
Next to vse all the meanes you can to advance the trade of the
Company, and to procure them all conditions of safetye and proffitt
that you may. Wherein seing you are noe stranger to the nature
of the traffique, I doe referr you to such informations and remem-
brances as you shall in that behalf receaue of the Company.
And because there hath been some imputations formerly layed
vppon the late Q. Eliz., of famous memorye, agaynst the proceedinge
of" the Agent at Constantyneople (All wch hath been formerly
ansvveared, as may appeare vnto you by dyrection given to Francys
Cherrye,* and since to Sr Kichard Lea, Knight, whereof you may
take copyes for your better information) yet because it is the
manner of the lluss' counsell to enter into repitition of thinges
wcl' haue been formerly mooued and answeared, You shall acquaynt
your selfe wth the answeare formerly made to that matter, and
make vse thereof as you shall haue occasion.
And if any question shall be mooued whye his Maty doth
contynew the residence of an Embassr in Constantyneople \v'h the
Grand Segnior, you may answeare, that his Ma*? cloth noe other-
wise therein then other Christian Princes and States as the ffrench
Kinge, the state of Venice, and other states, All wch for cause of
entercourse and traffique only, have their Embassadours lodgers
there and haue not otherwise to doe wth him. And soe vou'd the
Kinge of Spayne doe if the Grand Signior would permitt him the
trade of his countrey.
Concerninge the matter of peace wth Spayne, if they be
inquisitive of it you may say, that notwthstandinge it pleased
all mighty God to fynishe the dayes of her Ma')' the late Queen
of famous memorye before there was any Accord between her and
the Kinge of Spayne, agaynst whom He had ever soe much blessed
her, as all the Actions of mutuall hostilitye, tourned still to her
great honour and his preiudice yet that his Ma'y (her lyneall,
lawfull, and naturall successeour) having lived in perfect peace
and Amitye, \\lh all Kinges and estates before, foreseeinge of how

great consequence it is fco breake into a warr when peace maj
be established, vppon iusl and honorable conditions, bath been
contented to ioyne in n Treaty \\"' Spayne and the Archduke of
Austria (husband of the Kinge of Spayne's sister and resilient bere
in that part of the 17 Provinces wcu the Kinge her father gaue
her), not only for the reconcilinge of former differences between
the Kingdome of England and those Princes, hut for the perfect
establishinge of such an Amitye hereafter as may woork a setteled
and constant peace and safetye between the Territoryes and people
of the Singes and Princes aforesayd.
Il'or \\,h purpose you may lett him know that the Kinge of
Spayne (the rather to wittnes his inward desyre to embrace all
freindly Amitye wth the Kinge our Souverayne) begann first to
congratulate w,h him by an honorable Embass1', as soone as he heard
newes of his arrivall to the Emperiall Crcwnes of England,
Scotland, France, and Ireland, And now since bath dyrected the
counstable of Castyle* (one of his greatest suhiectes) purposely out
of Spayne wth full power to him and his Embassadour to treate of
all thin gee incident to the makinge of a sincere and durable peace,
whoe fallinge sicke by the way (accordinge to the nature of his first
commission) hath deputed some others to begynn the Treaty, wth
purpose to follow after as soone as he is recovered, and soe baue
the Archdukes done on their partes. Wherein because it may be
that he wilbe desyrous to know how this agrees w,h some of his
Ma'18 former conf'ederacyes w111 this Kinge of Spayne's Enemyes,
you may say that howsoever his Ma'? out of Cristian Charitye is
naturally inclyned to live peaceably wth all Princes, yet it shall
never appeare to be concluded vppon other conditions then such as
shalbe for the honour and weale of his estates and people, and
wthout preiudice to any of his former Allyes or confederates,
towardes all whom he intendeth to carrye himself as all other free
Princes doe in like cases ffor all thinges els eoncerninge bis Matcs
Estate, because those Princes especially are most apt to seeke and
mayntayne correspondencye wth greatest and mygtiest Princes
whereof they make their perticuler iudgm,es much by fame and
reportes, their countreyes beeinge soe farr remoued from meanes to
vnderstand them in more perticuler fashyon, you shall not forgett
ye rather to draw on the constancye of his affection towardes you
and your Trade to desturbe his Ma'>' and the constitution of his
estate in this forme.
Hirst that God hath not only sent to his Mates people and
kyngdomes in his P'son a Kinge full of pietye and wisedome to
rule over them, but hath alsoe blessed the same wtb a plentifull
posteritye of greatest hope and espectation, the lacke whereof was
a great discomfort to the former tyme.
Secondly you may playnly declare vnto him that such is his
reputation and authoritye wth all the Princes of Europe, as there
is hardly any Prince or state wch hath not sent him solemne

In the British Museum Library I Bound a quarto volume
(1056, g. 7) entitled, Sir Thos. Smithes Voiage and Entertainment
in Russia with the Tragicall Ends of Two Emperors and our Empress
within one month of his being there and the Miraculous preservation
of the now Reigning Emperor esteemed dead for 18 years. Printed
at London, 1005. Master John Mericke was then agent there. Sir
Thos. Smythe Kt. a religious and discreet gentleman was thought
fit to be chosen and commanded by his Majesty to go upon an
Embassage to Russia. Accompanied by Sir Thos. Challenger and
Sir William Wray Kts. Sir T. Smythe went to Court on the 10th
of June 1004, and was introduced by Ld Salisbury to his Majesty.
King James enquired how long they would be and was told xv
months. Furnished with his commission and other instruction by
Ld Salisbury at Whitehall, Sir Thomas sailed on the 12'" of June
from Gravesend — accompanied by Sir Valentine Kightly and Sir
Francis Cherry. He landed at the Castle at Th'arkAngel 22 of
July, & was met by the Agent Master John Mericke. He left in
August and went to Colongro. Thence by boat on the river Dvina
Soccana to Vologda — thence by post horses to the City of Yerri
Slaue (Jaroslav) on the 0lh of Sep. — and lodged with Gregory
Euannovich Nicolin late Ambassador to her Majesty in England.
He was sent for by the Emperor in October and delivered the
King's letter.
He attended Court again on the 10th of March and obtained a
grant of GOO roubles and a grant of new privileges for the Company.
On the 20th of March he went to Moscow, and lodged there until
May 6. On the 28th of May he set sail for England.
That the personal influence of Sir Thomas Smythe materially
contributed to the prosperity of the Company there can be little
doubt. The Earl of Northampton, in a letter addressed to His
Majesty James I., in 1012, says the Muscovey Company have
prospered strangely, and have succeeded in getting within nine
degrees of the Pole (D. S. P., 1012, p. 140).
This state of things unfortunately did not last long, trade and
commerce suffered much at the hands of the Swedes and Danes, who
had succeeded in crippling the Hansa League, and now turned
their arms against other nations. To remedy this state of things
contributions were exacted from the Muscovey and other companies
by Sir William Eussell, Treasurer, and the Commissioners of H.M.
Navy, for a fleet of six ships (D. S. P., 1021, p. 290). Notwith-
standing this, we read of no less than fifty-seven sail being captured
in one year (L). S. P., 1021, pp. 301-2). These adverse circumstances
told heavily on the resources of the Company, and like others they
fell into debt. Sir Thomas Smythe, besides several benefactions in
his lifetime, bequeathed a sum of £503 to the Company by will.
The following letter of Sir Thos. Smythe is exceedingly inte-

The Honourable Ea.st India Company.
The success of the Dutch East India Company, founded in 1594,
led to a meeting of the London Merchant Adventurers, at Founders'
Hall in Sept. 1599, to consider if it were desirable to open a direct
line of communication with India round the Cape of Good Hope
(D. S. P., Index to remembrances, 1570 to 1661, p. 291). One
hundred and one of the principal merchants attended, and formed
an association, with a subscribed capital of over £30,000. In the
following year, they obtained a Charter (granted to the Earl of
Cumberland and 215 knights, aldermen, and merchants), under the
title of " The Governor and Company of Merchants Trading to the
East Indies." The meetings of the Company were at this time held
at a house on the south side of Leadenhall Street, which they rented
of the Earl of Craven. It had lately been occupied by Sir William
Craven. Stow describes it as "a large Building with Spacious
Booms, very commodious for such a purpose, having a large Hall

Secretary, in 1614, and returned in 1617.

and Couri Yard Eor the reception of people having business here,
to attend on the Company, on Couri days. There is also a little
Garden with Warehouses ai the back pari t wards Lime Streel to
bring the Goods into the Warehouse" (Strype's Stow, vol. i.,
hook ii., p. 88).
The name of Sir Thomas Smythe, Knt., stands Srsl in the record
of a Couri of Committee held in Februarj L606 (Mas! India
Company's Court Hooks), lie was named Governor at a General
Court, held on the 1st of July iu the following year; with him
were associated William Greenwell as Deputy-Governor, 'Thomas
Parrington as Treasurer, and William Leighton, Secretary men
deserving of all honour, to whoso Postering care we owe the founda-
tion of England's greatness in India, and the development of her
commerce iu the East.
The privileges conferred by the Charter were exceptionally large,
and extended not only to India, but to all the ports or harbours of
Asia, Africa, and America, beyond the Cape of " Bona Esperanza "
to the Straits of Magellan, to make laws for the politique government
of themselves, their factors and mariners, with the power to
punish in body or purse (London, by T. P. Malcomb, vol. i.,
pp. 73 and 74). For the first twelve months goods might be
imported or exported duty free, if not otherwise illegal, including
silver and gold, provided only that £6000 of it were first coined at
the Mint.
Six goodly ships, and the like number of pinnaces, manned and
armed, were to set sail annually. Purchases (except by special
licence) from Dutch Settlements were prohibited.
This restriction, and the rising prosperity of the East India
Company, naturally created strong feelings of jealousy between the
English and the Dutch, which soon broke out into open acts of
violence. The Dutch were accused of tampering with the English
Company's servants, of acts of cruelty, and of laying an embargo
on their goods, for complicity in which Sir Thomas Beswick was
sent a prisoner to the Marshalsea (Cal. D. State Papers, 1618,
p. 195). Another person named Braggs presented a petition to
the Privy Council, bringing serious accusations against Sir Thomas
Smythe and the other directors, against whom he preferred a
claim for the sum of £6875 for goods and food supplied in a
time of dearth to the Company's dependents in India (King's Lib.
MSS. 17 B, vol. xvii. ; also Malcomb's London, vol. i., pp. 73-75).
His mixture of shrewd sense and humour with Scriptural quota-
tions is not unlike that of the Cromwellian period. For instance,
he says : " And as for thirteen negroes or Indian people, the
Estimation of these poor souls are not to be valued at any price,
because the Lord Jesus has suffered much for them, as for us
all, and therefore I will not recon the price of Xtians, for in
time the Lord may call them to be Xtians." One claim is for
providing 20 dogs and a great many cats, " which under God as by
your Book "Writtin of late rid away and devoured all the rats in
the Island which formerly ate up your corn and many blessed
SIR THOMAS SMYTHE, KXT. 91
fruits. For this I will demand £5 a piece and let the Cats goe."
To Sir Thomas Smythe and the Directors he gives the following
laconic parting shot: "And now, bretheren, in the name of our
Lord Jesus X1 see that ye be all of one minde and in one judge-
ment, for it hath been declared unto ine that there are dissentions
amongst you."
The influence and character of kSir Thos. Smythe was notwith-
standing sufficient for him to obtain the approval of his Sovereign,
who wrote, in 1619, to the Directors requesting that he might be
re-elected Governor for another seven years (D. S. P., 1G19).
In 1616 Sir Thomas Smythe was residing at Deptford, pro-
bably as a Commissioner of the Navy, and also to superintend
the vessels dispatched by the Honourable East India Company to
Virginia and other lands, when his house was unfortunately burned
down. One of the vessels from the Indies arrived about this time,
when the ship and its cargo were estimated at the value of £14,000
(D. S. P., 1616, p. 379). As a set-off against this, another appears
to have been lost between Gravesend and London, worth £16,0U0,
to the great damage of the Company's credit ; and five others were
picked up disabled by the Dutch Company (Cal. D. S. P., 1620,
p. 131). The rivalry of the two Companies was productive of
many disputes, and agreements appear to have had but little effect in
checking host ilities. Each vessel was armed with culverines which
cost the Company £9 apiece; and Sir Thos. Powe, in returning
from the East Indies, reported that the Company's servants had
retaliated on the Hollanders (Cal. D. S. P., 1619, p. 75). This led
the King to appoint a commission, consisting of Sir Thos. Smythe,
Lord Cranford, and several of the Council, to consult with the
Commissioners of the States of Holland for a settlement of their
differences (D. S. P, 1619, January 8). Unfortunately, the
negotiations were broken off, because the States would not allow
the Company a share in the management of their fortifications
(Cal. D. S. P., 1621, p. 40), and the East India Company resolved
to fit out a fleet to protect themselves against the Dutch, and
threatened that if they did not get satisfaction they would retaliate
on Dutch traders in the narrow seas. The Dutch responded by
making a raid on the Company's fort at Amboyna, and killing
Captain Powerson with other Englishmen (D. S. P., 1624, vol.
ccxvii., p. 267). The English appear at this time to have had some-
what the worst of it, and they presented a petition to the King for
assistance, alleging that if it is not granted their trade would be
ruined, as the plot was directly traceable to Amsterdam. In
consequence of which, the Lord High Admiral was directed to seize
some ships of the Dutch Company as a reprisal.
In all these matters, Sir Thomas .Smythe as Governor took a
prominent part up to 1621, when failing health compelled him to
resign, and at a Court held in July 1621, Mr. Alderman Halliday was
appointed to be his successor.
(.)2 TREASURER OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY, 1(500-20.
The Virginia Company.
Although many illustrious men had preceded him in the attempt,
Sir Thomas Smythe had the satisfaction of successfully starting this
Company. He obtained its Charter of Incorporation under the title
of " The Treasurer and Company of Adventurers and Planters of
the City of London," dated May23, L609 (Colonial Papers, L609,
p. 8, lxxix., James I.), through the influence and patronage of his
illustrious friends the Earls of Salisbury, Suffolk, Southampton,
Pembroke, and Lincoln.* As he continued Treasurer of this
Company for many years, it may not, I trust, be considered out of
place if we pass in review some of its contemporary history. A
graphic description of the newly-discovered country, as it was then
called, is given by Captain Christopher Newport, in the form of a
journal, commencing Thursday, 21st day of May l(j()7 (Colonial
Papers, vol. i., p. 0). He describes the King as the Great Pawatan,
who had twenty kingdoms under his dominion ; lie praises the
general appearance of the inhabitants ; like all uncivilized nations,
the men hunted and the women worked ; they dwelt in villages
of 500 people or thereabouts ; they had many wives, and sacrificed
to the sun, were witty and ingenious, expert thieves, and could take
up anything with their toes while looking at one; nevertheless, a
most kind and loving people (vide Map, 1008, engraved by Will
Hole, discovered by Captain Smith). The adventurers who landed
with Captain Newport constructed a small town or fort called
James Town, and bartered with the inhabitants for wood, soap,
ashes, pitch, tar, and certain unknown herbs, probably cochineal,
silk-grass, and terra-lemnico.
In May 1G09 a convoy of vessels, under the command of
Sir Thomas Gates and Sir George Somers,f was fitted out for
Virginia. During the voyage they experienced much rough weather,
and about 100 leagues from Bermuda the fleet was scattered.
Sir George's ship sprang a leak, and 100 men worked in gangs at
the pumps night and day, when the vessel stranded at Bermuda ;
fortunately all were saved. Here they managed to construct two
small pinnaces; and 140 men and women arrived safely at James
Town. Famine and pestilence had sadly decimated those who had
arrived previously with Sir Thomas Gates. On their recovery they
went down the river, and met the Governor, Lord He la Warr ;
having nothing to trade with, they sent to the Bermudas for sup-
plies of fish, hogs, and fowls. In the meantime they suffered much
from want and sickness. Sir George Somers died Nov. 9, 1011,
on his way to Bermuda to obtain supplies, but Lord De la Warr,

grant was made, '2,2 James 1.

although suffering himself, maintained a cheerful hope for the
future (Colonial Entry Book, p. 13). In 1612 a fresh Charter,
with more ample privileges, was granted (Date of patent of
Incorporation, 13 .lames I.). But this did not appease the dis-
content of the colonists ; many who were weary of the settle-
ment slipped away, and returned home, so that many of those who
had been persuaded to underwrite their names for adventures flatly
refused to pay. and were sued in the Court of Chancery, and the
Company obtained judgment against them to the extent of some
£3000 or £4000* (Colonial Entry Book, p. 14).
The arrival of a ship from Virginia, with the news that the
daughter of Powhattan had been captured by Captain Argol, cheered
the flagging spirits of the Company somewhat. Three years later
Sir Thomas Dale arrived from Virginia with a cargo of various
articles, and ten or twelve natives, amongst whom was the celebrated
Pocahontas, the daughter of Powhattan, who had married one Bolfe,
an Englishman (Colonial Entry Book, 1613). Pocahontas and her
attendants were duly presented at Court to King James, and invited
to a maske, with which they were greatly pleased. She unfortun-
ately fell a victim to small pox, and died off Gravesend on the eve
of her departure for America (Colonial Entry Book, Jan. 1617).
On the death of Lord De la Warr, in 1618, Sir Dudley Charlton
was appointed Governor, who soon afterwards set sail with two ships
and 300 men and boys for Virginia. Charlton was succeeded in the
following year by Sir George Vardley ; and at a council, held in the
chancel of the church at James Town, two councillors were elected
Jiom each of the principal plantations, and a committee appointed
to enquire into the Charter, and make laws for the guidance of the
colonists. A tax of 1 lb. of tobacco was ordered to be levied on all
males over sixteen years of age, to provide for the maintenance of
the Speaker, the Clerk, and Sergeant of the Assembly. Laws
were passed for Christianizing the Indians, and a site selected
for a university and college. Mulberry plantations were started,
and a regular system of cultivation introduced for vines, flax,
and hemp.
Ill 1619 the Treasurer (Sir Thomas Smythe) and Company had
sent out no less than 1261 colonists within the year, the number
of English alone, at this time, amouuted to some 2100 soulsf
(Colonial Entry Book, 1619, p. 22).
These results, creditable as they may appear to the success of
the Company, did not escape the censure of some, who accused
* From this incident the Bermudas or Somer Islands became a sister colony
of the Virginia Company, and were afterwards known as the Somer Islands
Company, although under the same management. Waller, in his " Battle in the
Somer Islands," canto i., writes :
" O how I long my careless limbs to lay
Under the plantin's shade, and all the day,
With amorous airs my fane}7 entertain,
Invoke the Muses, and improve my vein !"

the Treasurer and his upholders of perpetually keeping down the
prosperity of the Colony by enriching themselves. Sir Edwin
Sandys appears to have been the chief accuser. H<\ writing to the
Duke of Buckingham, affirmed thai he had done more for the
Colony in one year, at an expenditure of 68000, than Sir Thomas
Smythe had in twelve years at an expenditure of 680,000. The
opposition was so far successful thai Sir Thomas Smythe wisely
resigned the office of Treasurer, although he did not cease to take
an interest in the affairs of the Company under the Earl of
Southampton, who succeeded him (Colonial Entry Book, Nov. 3,
1020, }>. 21). Ai tliis time a fresh patent was granted, to the Duke
of Lenox and Marquis of Buckingham, of the whole of the
Country of Virginia lying between the latitudes 40 to 48 north,
which was called New England.
The resignation of Sir Thomas Smythe was not, however,
sufficient satisfaction. Many accusations were still brought against
him. One John Bargrave affirmed that he was the first planter of
a colony in Virginia, for which he obtained a patent from the
Company, and that his estate had been violently taken away from
him, and in doing this Sir Thomas Smythe, Alderman Johnson, and
others, acted in contravention of their Charter ; they were also
accused of encouraging the growtli of tobacco and sassafras, and
neglecting other crops, so that eight or ten ships returned
empty ; that the Company laid an embargo on his ships, and sold
them for £6600 ; that the plantation consisted only of public
servants, and was supported by lotteries ; instead of overhauling
the accounts of the late Treasurer, he advises the creation of a
public stock.
The matter in dispute was referred to the Treasurer and Council
of Virginia, w ho expressed themselves neither authorised nor qualified
to reply to the complaint against Sir Thomas Smythe and others, as
it was a business of great latitude, extending over many years.
Whereupon the matter was again brought before the Privy Council,
at which the King expressed an opinion that the plaintiff desired
nothing more than to tarnish the reputation of Sir Thomas
(Colonial Papers, July 16, 1622, Whitehall, p. 31 ; 1623, February,
p. 38). At the same time the Governor and Council of Virginia
addressed a memorial to his Majesty, which was signed by Sir
Francis Wryatt AVest, and Sir George Yardley, condemning the
accusations made by Butler as altogether false and slanderous,
but reflecting severely on Sir Thomas Smythe. This appears to
have caused a great division amongst the Home Directors, some
siding with the Earl of Southampton, Lord Cavendish, and
Sir Edward Sackville, others with the Earl of Warwick, Sir Thomas
Smythe, Sir Henry Mildmay, and Alderman Johnson. And the
matter came again before the King in Council, who appointed a
Commission to enquire into the whole of the affairs of the Company,
beginning from Sir Thomas Smythe's government. All the books,
charters, and writings connected with the Plantation of Virginia
and the Somer Islands, were to be laid before the Commissioners
SIR THOMAS SMYTH E, KN'T. 95
(Colonial Papers, IS April, 1623, p. 44). In the meantime the
strife between the rival factions raged more furiously, so that at a
Court of the Virginia and Bermudas Company recriminations
passed and repassed between the Earl of Warwick and Lord
Cavendish, and they adjourned to try their fortune in the way
then only open to gentlemen of birth and breeding (Colonial
Papers, 1623, p. 51).
To silence this scandal, King James proposed that the Company
should surrender their Charter, and accept a new one, with a
Governor and twelve assistants sitting in England, and a Governor
and twelve assistants in Virginia. This, at an extraordinary meeting
of the Court, by a large majority, they refused to do (Colonial
Papers, Oct. S, 1623, p. 52). Whereupon a commission of" quo
warranto was issued, and meetings were held at Sir Thomas
Smythe's own house every Thursday, when all charters and docu-
ments were inspected (Colonial Papers, Nov. 21, 1623).
The result vvas that a full and exhaustive enquiry was made
by the Commission. The King cut the Grordian knot by judi-
ciously granting the Incorporation of the former letters patent
(Colonial Papers, May 13, 1625, p. 73). Both Companies were to be
amalgamated into one empire or government depending on himself,
and all officers were to be nominated by him. Wearied and en-
feebled by the contention Sir Thomas Smythe died, but not before
he had seen a glorious foundation laid for the prosperity of the
plantations.
If anything could be added to the uprightness and zeal with
which he struggled through long years of his life to promote the
welfare of these his beloved plantations, it may be found in his
will, where, after mentioning several bequests to his coadjutors,
" I give," said he, " to the Governor and Consuls of the Company
for the plantation of the Colony in Virginia and Somer Islands and
Bermudas, the sum of £100, to be equally divided between the two
Companys, towards the Building of Two Churches, one for each
Plantation."
As a Commissioner of the Boyal Navy Sir Thomas Smythe took
up his residence at Deptford, probably at a house known as Skinner's
Place, purchased by his father,* with a garden, dove-cote, and
orchard, and thirtv-four acres of land ; unfortunately burnt down on
the 30th of January 161S-19 (D. S. P., 1616, p. 1; February 6,
1618). In his capacity as a Commissioner of the Navy and also
a Commissioner for the Suppression of Piracy on the Narrow
Seas, he frequently resided there before he retired to Sutton at Hone.
The cost of ships may be gathered from an agreement with one
William Browell, to superintend the building of two ships of war
of 650 and 450 tons each, at a cost of £8575 (D. S. P., 1616, p. 38).
In 1620 the charges of the Commissioners amounted to the sum
of £29,396 Os. U. (D. S. P., 1616, p. 121). This charge in-
cluded not only the building and manning of ships, but also the

maintenance of the lighthouses (I). 8. I'., 1616, p. 12:}). In 1<'>'>(.>
His Majesty and his royal Consort went to Debtford to the Launch
of a vessel constructed by the Commissioners, when he presented
Sir Thomas Smythe with a gold chain and medal for his services
(I). S. P., 1609, p. 576).
Associated with Sir Thomas Smythe for the Suppression of
Piracy on the Narrow Seas, were Sir Thomas Lowe and Sir
William Cockayne,* and they were directed by the Council to
collect the contributions of merchants and various companies
for a fleet to be maintained for the suppression of piracy, which
contribution was to be repaid by impositions of one per cent, on all
imports and exports (D. S. P., Oct. 15, 1621, p. 299). For this
purpose the sum of £0000 annually was required to fit out a fleet.
Most of the companies expressed their willingness to comply with
the request of the Council for the supply of five ships for three
months or longer, if the French, Moscovia, and Trinity House
Companies would do so (D. S. P., 1621, p. 96). The Merchant
Adventurers offered £1000, but asked that £700 of it might be taken
in gunpowder.
In private life Sir Thomas Smythe was a large-hearted, kind,
and charitable man, in the best acceptation of the word. If his means
were ample and his fortune large, it was used by him to comfort and
assist his poorer neighbours and dependants ; and that due provision
might be made for continuing the benefits, we find him, on the
18th of April 1619, writing thus to his good friends the Master and
Wardens of the Skinners' Company :f
" When I consider that it is the duty of every Christian in
their several callings to be charitably minded towards the poor
Servants of God, and that those especially of whom a plentiful
measure of benefits and blessings are bestowed, ought in token of
their thankfulness to dispose some part thereof towards the
relief and maintenance of the poor and needy.
" And calling to mind that my grandfather, Sir Andrew Judd,
Knt., out of your own Society, the Skinners, founded the free
School of Tonbridge, and gave a liberal benevolence (as times then
were) unto the same, which he recommended by his will to your
care, that it might be faithfully disposed according to his good
purpose therein. In imitation of whom, and considering that what
was in those tymes competent allowances, is now by reason of the
alteration of times not sufficient to afford neccesarie maintenance
to such as depend thereon. I have thought fit by my best
endeavours to encourage the Schoole Master and Usher of this
Schoole diligently to apply themselves to bringing up the Schollars
under their charge in the fear of God and Knowledge of good
learning by enlarging the present Stipends, and to give encourage-

to such charitable purposes and uses, as I have herein lymited and

TOMB OF SIR THOMAS SMYTHE (BORN CIRCA 1558; DIED 1625)
SIR THOMAS SMYTHE'S EPITAPH. 99
In 1625 Sir Thomas Smythe died at Brooke Place alias Sutton
Place, at Sutton at Hone, in Kent; Hasted Bays, "as is conjectured
of the Plague, which raged greatly here at that time" (Hasted,
vol. ii., p. 319). Pie left by his wife Sarah, the daughter and heir
of William Blount, Esq., one only son John. His widow married
again, in the following year, Robert Sidney, 2nd Earl of Leicester.
At Lady Leicester's decease, her son, Sir John Smythe, became
possessed of the Manor of Sutton at Hone, together with the bulk
of his father's property not otherwise disposed of by his will.
The monument of Sir Thomas Smythe in the south aisle, of the
church at Sutton at Hone is a good specimen of the period when it whs
erected. The effigy of Sir Thomas in alabaster is well and carefully
executed, and exhibits a family likeness to that of his father, "the Cus-
tomer," in Ashford Church. The features are those of a man of
ability, firmness, and energy. He wears a short-peaked beard, and
his hands are raised in the attitude of prayer. He is clothed in a
doublet, vest, trunk hose, etc., and wears his aldermanic gown or
furred robe. The effigy lies on a sarcophagus of black marble
with bold trusses, beneath an arched canopy with enriched soffit,
supported by two black marble columns with gilded capitals,
with a broken pediment on which his arms are blazoned ; the
quarterings are as follows : Smythe, Juclde, Chiche, Criol, Averenches,
Crevecour, Chichele, and Stafford. Over the figure are two marble
tablets, with the following inscriptions :

Sir Thomas Smythe's will was proved by his executors in the
Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Oct. 1.2, 1625 (Somersel Souse,
Book Clarke, t'ol. 107). By it we find that ample provision
was made for the charities which he continued to the time
of his death, as slated in his letter to the Master and Wardens of
the Skinners' Company on the INth day of April L019. After the
usual preamble, he bequeathed to the Master, Wardens, and
Commonality of the Mistery of the Skinners, all his houses,
messuages, land, and tenements situate and being near Paul's Gate
at the west-end of Watling Street, which he purchased of Sir Francis
By rm an, as well as his messuage and tenements in Lyme Street,
London, where Delaney then dwelt, adjoining Mr. John Clark's,
Doctor of Phisiek, from year to year, and for ever to hold the same
to such charitable uses and purposes hereafter declared. That is to
say for the distribution of bread and cloth to the poor of the
Parishes of Bidborougb, Tonbridge, Speldhursf, Sutton at Hone,
and Darenth, or Durrant as it was spelt, in sundry small payments
to the Vicars and Church Wardens of the said parishes, Ten Pound
to the Master of the Free Grammar School, and five to the Usher
yearly, 20 nobles to the Company, and six Exhibitions of £10 each
to youthes to be chosen out of the Free School, who should prove
themselves most capable and toweredly of learning, whose parents
should not be able to afford a competent maintenance at the
University ; who not misspending their time shall diligently apply
to study, and principally to the Study of Divinity, so that when it
might please God to call them to the Sacred profession of the
Ministry, they should not forget to give God thanks in their prayer
before the Sermon for His Mercy towards them, so that others
might be stirred up to good and charitable works.
In consequence of the increased value of this City pro-
perty, which now produces a yearly rental of £1158 lis. 8^/., a
scheme for the future management of the same was sanctioned by
the Court of Chancery, in 1883, for Exhibitions at the Universities
of not less than £20 or more than £10, and a Foundation Scholar-
ship of £10 tenable by any boy in the School. Many new
ecclesiastical districts have since been formed out of the original
parish of Tollbridge, such as Hildenboro; St. Peter's Southboro' ;
St. Stephen's Tonbridge; St. Thomas's Southboro'; Holy Trinity,
Christ Church, St. John, St. James, St. Peter, and Rusthall, Tun-
bridge Weils. Shorne in Kent, St. Augustine's, and St. Dionis

HIS WILL. 101
Backchurch in London, are also benefited, so five trustees are now
elected by the Skinners' Company, and one by eaeb of the parishes
or ecclesiastical districts above named. These trustees meet on the
second Wednesday in each quarter at Skinners' Hall, for the pur-
pose of granting annuities, pensions, and loans under the will of
Sir Thomas Smythe.
With certain exceptions hereinafter mentioned, Sir Thomas
Smytheleft the bulk of his property to be divided into two moieties,
the one half to go to his widow Dame Sarah Smythe, and the other
to his son John, and to his heirs male lawfully begotten, with the rever-
sion of his mother's portion at her decease. In default of an heir
in the male line, he directed that all his manors, messuages, lands,
and houses situated in the parishes of Bidboro', Tonbridge, Speld-
hurst, and Penshurst, which he had previously purchased of Sir. Dyke,
were to pass to his nephew Thomas Smythe, of Ostenhanger, the
son of his elder brother. His son John's marriage with Lady
Isabella. Sidney, daughter of Robert, second Earl of Leicester, and
the subsequent birth of a grandson, rendered this contingency void.
To his nephew7 Thomas Smythe, son of his brother Richard, and
to John, the son of his brother Robert, and to Thomas Fanshaw, the
son of his sister Joan, Lady Fanshaw, he bequeathed all his land,
tenements, and hereditaments known as Otford Park, which he had
recently purchased of the Duke of Leicester, to be equally divided
between them. To the sons of his sister Ursula Butler, and to his
nephew, Arthur Harris, he left the Cottingham Estate, which
he had purchased of Mr. William Richardson, to be equally
divided between them.
To his favourite nephew, Fanshaw, he left, besides the third part
of his share in the Otford property before mentioned, all his lands
and tenements known by the name of " Saltangle," situate and being
at Ringingham in the county of York, all his land and tenements
in Essex, as well as those at Lewisham in the county of Kent,
which latter he had purchased of Sir Richard Stoddard, Knt. ; and
he further directed that the other properties which he possessed in
the Parish of Tonbridge should be equally divided between Thomas
and William Fanshaw, and his heirs male.
The residue of his estate, consisting of goods, chattels, plate,
jewelry, and household stuff, wheresoever and whatsoever, after the
payments of his just debts and funeral expenses, he directs shall
be divided into three parts, one third to go to his wife, as due and
belonging to her by the customs of the City of London ; one third
to Sir John Smythe, as due and belonging to him by the custom of
the City, " seeing that neither before his marriage was he advanced
by me." As regards the other third, he directs his executors to
provide and distribute to the poor and needy as much good cloth as
shall cost £100, to be given to poor people without respect of
persons.
Avoiding pomp and vain-glory in respect to his funeral, he
directs that those in attendance at his burial may have mourning
garments. To St. Bartholomew's Hospital he bequeathed a legacy

Cheekes, for a ring, 30s. To John Woodhall 40s.
To the Governors and Committee of the Merchants of London,
trading with the East Indies at the time of bis decease, the sum
of £5 each. To the Deputy £4, and to the Treasurer £3, for
rings, and to the other twenty-four Committee-men 40s. in remem-
brance. Also to Mr. Andrew Caleen, Mr. Christopher Laming,
Eichard Courtney, Eichard Fishere, and John Eoberts, servants of
the said Company, as well as Widow Johnson, 30s. for a ring
each.
To the Company of Merchants in London for the Discovery of
New Trades, commonly known by the name of "The Muscovia
Company," who had testified of their love to him many years, the
sum of £500, for and towards the payment of such debts as are due
by the said Company upon the Old Eoyal Fort.
To the Governor of the said Company £5, to the Consuls and
Assistants of the same 40s each, to make them rings to wear as a
token of love.
To the Treasurer, Consuls, and Company for the Plantation of
the Colony in Virginia and the Somer Islands, commonly called the
Virginian Company and Bermudas Company, the sum of £100, to
be equally divided between the two Companies, towards the building
of two Churches, one for each Plantation.
These last recited legacies fully bear out the statements before
made as to his benevolence and large-hearted charity, but they

prove also, that in the pursuit of commerce he was not unmindful of
a duty which he owed to Christianity and civilization, that of
spreading the glad tidings of the Gospel in foreign lands.
On his executors, Dame Sarah Smythe, his son John Smythe, his
brother Richard, Sir David Watkins. and Mr. Nicholas Swift, he
further bestowed sums of £50 each, for their pains to be taken in
and about his will, over and above the legacies before mentioned.
Sir Thomas Smythe appears to have purchased a moiety of the
Chapel of St. John's, with all the tithes, oblations, etc., belonging
to it, and other lands in Sutton and Wilmiugton, of George Cole,
Esq., of the Inner Temple (Hasted, vol. ii., p. 348). That part
allotted to the Countess of Leicester and her son became a separate
manor with a Court Baron appendant to it, and acquired the name
of the "Manor of Sutton," and at the Countess's death came into
the possession of Sir John, only son of Sir Thomas Smythe, who
married Isabella, daughter of the Earl of AVarwiek, by whom
he had issue one son Robert, and a daughter Isabella, married to
John, Lord Robartes of Truro (Hasted, vol. ii., p. 3i9).
Robert Smythe, Esq., of Bounds in Bidboro', and of Brook
Place in Sutton, married the Countess of Sunderland, nee Lady
Dorothy Sidney,* by whom he had one son Robert, who was
Governor of Dover Castle, and died 1695, possessed of the Manor
of Brook Place, leaving by Catherine his wife, daughter of William
Stafford, of Blatherwick, in jVorthants, two sons, Henry and
William, his heirs in gavelkind (Hasted, vol. ii., p. 350).
In 1699 Mrs. Catherine Smythe obtained an Act of Parliament
for vesting the estates in the hands of Trustees, with power to
sell, who subsequently conveyed them to Sir John le Thieullier, who
pulled down part of the mansion-house at Sutton at Hone (Hasted,
vol. ii., p. 350).

in extenso ; and in one of them she speaks of " my son Smythe."

* It is on record that there was a church at Tilmanstone in the
time of Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1185-90. But certain
architectural features in the present building — especially the south
doorway — shew beyond doubt that it existed in the Norman, and
not improbably also in the Saxon period. In the lime of Cardinal
and Archbishop Stephen Langton, 1207-28, there were three
claimants for the patronage of this church, the Knights Hospitallers
of Jerusalem, who derived their claim indirectly from some of the
Archbishop's predecessors ; Roger de Insula, clerk, who asserted
that he had obtained it from Archbishop Baldwin ; and the Arch-
bishop himself. The other contending parties agreed to submit to
his decision, and he gave it in favour of the Hospitallers, retaining
for himself and his successors the right of instituting the vicar. At
the same time he settled the endowment, decreeing that the vicar
should have the whole of the " altarage," and a moiety of all eccle-
siastical tithes, except that of certain land which was the church's
demesne ; also a certain messuage, which had been that of Alredus
the clerk. The Archbishop likewise determined to what dues the
vicar should be subject. (Lamb. Lib., Charted Miscell., vol. xi.,
No. 74.)

Archbishopric being vacant. On September 16 in the

bishop of Canterbury.

tion. In this instance the Archbishop presented, and the
same right was exercised by his successors until after the
year 1449, notwithstanding Stephen Langton's decision in
favour of the Hospitallers.
3 Geoffrey de Lewes. In the Taxatio Ecclesiastica of P. Nicho-
las IV., in 1291, the church of Tilmanstone is returned as
worth £10.
4 Walter. Mentioned only in connection with the untoward
event which led to his retirement from the parish. The
following is a literal translation of the account given in the
Assize Poll: — "Walter, vicar of the church of Tyhnanstone,
and Thomas, clerk of the said vicar, and Robert de Paundes,
were together in the borough of Tyhnanstone, and a dispute
having arisen between them, the aforesaid Pobert would have
killed the aforesaid Walter, the vicar ; and seeing this the said
Thomas, the clerk, both drew his knife and struck the afore-
said Pobert in the back ; whereupon on the eighth da}' after
he died therefrom. Afterwards it was found by the Coroner's
Polls that Eleanor, who was the wife of Pobert de Paundes,
who is dead, appealed in the County [Court] the aforesaid
Walter, vicar of the church of Tylmanstone, and Thomas, clerk
of the said Walter, touching the death of the aforesaid Pobert
her husband, and followed up her appeal against them unto
the fourth County [Court], at which the aforesaid appeal was
removed by King's writ to the Court of our lord the King ;
and the aforesaid Thomas was delivered up as a convicted
clerk to the Bishop, and died in prison. And whereas nothing
is known of the delivery of the aforesaid Walter, who is still
remaining in the country, therefore let him be taken. After-
wards the Sheriff testifies that the aforesaid Walter is not
found, but has withdrawn himself. And the jurors suspect
him touching the death of the aforesaid Pobert ; therefore
let him be exacted and outlawed. He had no chattels."
5 Palph de Htjlcote. In the Peport of Prior Philip de Thame
to the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitallers, Elyan de
Villanova, for the year 1338, the moiety of the church of
Tilmanston is returned as ainountino- to £8.

matters in the time of this vicar. He directed that his body
should be buried in the graveyard of the church of S. Andrew,
near " le Porche ;" to the high altar he left 3s. 4d. ; to the
fabric of the church, to cover '; le churchrove," 40s. ; also to
the same church a missal, and a new chalice. Testator like-
wise arranged for a chaplain to hold memorial services in the
church for a whole year, at a salary of ten marks.
11 John Smale. Three extracts from an early Court Roll in the
possession of L. L. Duncan, Esq., F.S.A., and kindly com-
municated by him, reveal a curious picture of the relations
existing between this vicar and his parishioners shortly after
his appointment. Court held at Tilmanstone, 25 April 1476 :
"Item [juratores] presentant quod Dominus Johannes Smale
insultum fecit et traxit sanguinem super Willelmum servi-
entem suum contra pacem domini Regis. Ideo in miseri-
cordia — xxd." Court held there, 10 October 1476: "Item
[juratores] presentant quod Dominus Johannes Smale, vicarius
de Tilmaston, fecit insultum cum baculo contra Jacobum
Medilton sissor' (scissorem) ibidem contra pacem domini
Regis. Ideo ipse in misericordia — iijs. iiijd." Court held
there, 19 October 1480 : " It'm the Tenan'ts hath presentyd
by there hothes that they have sworne that the vykeer Sir
John Smale came to the alehous at mydnyght and his man
wl hym seyng this wordy s to his man Go yn and geve a blowe.

vykere thow art caws of my hurt and of this fray whei'fore
thow art wordy to be hangyd for this mater. Ideo in miseri-
cordia— xs."
Thirteen Tilmanstone wills, now in the Archidiaconal Registry
at Canterbury, but made during the forty-one years of Mr. Smale's
incumbency, testify to the affection of the parishioners for their
ancient church, and to their desire that its services should be upheld
in a becoming manner. Among the numerous bequests the follow-
ing may be noticed : John Hervy, of " Barfeld," 10 September
1479, left to the high altar 3s. 4d. ; to the work of the church
5 qrs. of barley ; also to the light called the " Hokeday light," and
to the Torch light, L qr. of barley. Richard Knott by his will
dated 10 April 1480, and proved 12 June 1198, besides leaving
12d. to the high altar, made the bequest: "It'm to the reparation
of the body of the seid churche xiid It'm I bequethe to the
churche aforseid iij ewes and iiju wex to th'entent that the iij1' wex

for the supporl of the light of the Paschal Taper six wether sheep
or one cow, as the churchwardens, or two other discreel parishioners,
might think best. Also for the repair of the noisome ways leading
to " Sandwyc," 6s. 8d., er twenty cart-loads of stone. John Pittok,
1 October 111):}, left for 1 ho repair of the church 2 qrs. of barley.
Richard Knott, 31 Augual L503, left to the high altar one sheep,
and to the light called " llopdav light " a bushel of wheat. Tho.
Gybbys, 28 February 1506-7, left to the "live autor" two bushels
of " barle." " It'm 1 bequeith to the Hocday light in the seid
cherche also ij busshellis of barle." Under special contingencies
testator provided that certain of his lands and tenements were to be
sold for the most profit, " and the money therof cumyng to be
devided equally, half to bye keene for a stole to maynten' the lightes
of the p'ishe chirche of Tylmanston, and the other half to repayre
the fowule weys betuex Eastre and Sandwiche wher as is inoste
nede." A witness to this will was " Sir John Congragh than beyng
Curate." Mr. Smale was by this time probably too infirm to sway
the rod of empire without assistance. Nicholas Pyttocke by his
will, 4 May 1508, bequeathed "to the hygh auterof Seint Andrewe
afoi'eseide viijd., also to the Rode lvght ij buschellys of barley."
Michaell Cooke, 20 March 1508-9, left directions for his body to'be
buried in the church " coram imagine Crucifixi." He also left
6s. 8d. for the purchase of a missal ; a quarter of barley to the
light of the Holy Cross ; also 40s. for the repairs of the church ;
and a cow with six sheep for the light of S. Mary and 8. Nicholas.
Hen. Hamond, 7 August 1509, left to the high altar and to the
light of S. Andrew, severally, four bushels of barley ; also one
bushel of barley to every other light in the church. This testator
also left 12d. to the high altar of " Norborne," and provided that
if his maidservant remained with his wife until Michaelmas 1510,
she was to have a sheep, a lamb, four bushels of wheat and four of
barley. Will of Thomas Churche, of " Thorneton," 5 June 1511 :
"Also I bequeth to the buyng of a Coope (eope) a seine of whette.
Also I bequethe to the Hokdaie light iiij ewes." One of the wit-
nesses to the will of Tho. ffygge, 10 December 1514. was Sir John
Clynston, curate. In the wills here cited mention is made of some
half a dozen lights, which were formerly maintained in the church.
With some of these would be connected minor altars, two of which
were on either side of the chancel arch beneath the side windows
in the north and south walls of the nave, which have every appear-
ance of having been altar lights, and close to one of which the out-
line of a piscina was discovered during the late Restoration. The
Hockday Light may have been sustained by some local guild, which
kept their annual fete at that season. Authorities are not agreed

13 Ralph Roger. This vicar by his will, dated 13 July 1521, and
proved four days later, left in reference to the place of his
interment the following direction: " My body to be buried
yn the chauncell afore Saynt Andrew there." This implies
the existence of an image of S. Andrew, who was the Patron
Saint, which was in accordance with a decree of Archbishop
Winchelsea, ordering that the image of the saint in whose
name the church was dedicated should be carefully preserved
in the chancel of every parish church. Testator likewise
gave directions, and left a bequest, for memorial services in
the church. This is the earliest will of a vicar of Tilmanstone
that has been found.
13 Henry Hudspeth. The entry in Archbishop Warham's Register
states that Hudspeth was instituted on the death of the last
vicar, but unfortunately the name is not mentioned. There
is no doubt, however, that he came next after Ralph Roger,
as only a few months intervene between the death of the latter
and Hudspeth's institution. Mr. Hudspeth had previously
been rector of Shadoxhurst, to which he was instituted 7 Sep-
tember 1523. By his will, dated on the Feast of S. Margaret,
1530, he left directions for his body to be buried in the chancel
of Tilmanstone Church, The supervisor of his will was John
Solme, vicar of Xorthbourne, and the witnesses were Sir
John Denby, parson of " Rypull," Sir James JNycolson,
parson of " Schadockysherst," and William Kyrkbye.
14 James Nicholson. The institution of this vicar seems never
to have been entered in the Archbishop's Register. Like his
predecessor, he was previously rector of Shadoxhurst, and
the vacancy in that living caused by his resignation was filled
up by the appointment of George Walvngiam, on 7 February
1531-2. (Regist. Warhani, f. 414 b.) He held Tilmanstone
till the time of his death, which probably occurred at the end
of 1545, or early in the next year.
13 William Cockes. He was already rector of Betteshanger,
having been collated to that living by Archbishop Cranmer,
11 April 1510. lie was a witness to the will, dated 9 March
1546-7, of "Thomas Pyttocke th'eldre of the parishe oft'

Thomas Cockes by his will, dated 4 September 155S, and
proved 10 March following, left these bequests: "Item I

xlvi., 98 h.) The entry of the burial of this vicar occurs in
the oldest Register, which commences in 1558, as follows :
" 1586, Item the xvij11' of May Thomas Liltorth vicar of the
parishe of Tilmanstone was buried, whom the Lord of his
mercie hath receyved into his kingdome." Mr. Lilford held
for some years the rectory of Betteshanger, to which he was
admitted 4 November 1564, on the presentation of William
Boyse, Esq.
17 Edward Mundy. According to Hasted he also held Bettes-
hanger, and resigned it with Tilmanstone in 1597.
18 Francis Dalton. He was rector of S. Dionis Backchurch, one
of the Archbishop's Peculiars, 1592-6. In 1599, he resigned
Tilmanstone; but some years elapsed before he obtained the
rectory of Hope All Saints, to which he was instituted 27
March 1606, on presentation by King James. He retained
it only about two years.
19 John Boys, lie was the son of Thomas Boys, Esq., of Evthorn,
where he was born in 1571. He was probably educated at
the King's School, Canterbury, whence he proceeded, in 1585
to Corpus Christi Coll., Camb. He subsequently became a
Fellow of Clare Hall. His first preferment was the rectory
of Betteshanger, obtained for him by his uncle, John Boys,
Esq., to which he was instituted 8 August 1597. Arch-
bishop Whitgift gave him the Mastership of Eastbridge
Hospital ; and, in 1599, the vicarage of Tilmanstone. In the
year 1610 he was appointed by King James I. one of the
Fellows of Chelsea College, then lately founded. Arch-

bishop Abbot presented him with the sinecure rectory of
Hollingbourne ; and, in 1618, with the rectory of Great
Mongeham, on which he resigned Tilmanstone. On the
dentil of Dr. ITotherby he was promoted by the King to the
Deanery of Canterbury, and was installed 3 .May 1019. He
held office a little more than six years, and died suddenly
in his study 20 September 1625. He was buried in the
Dean's Chapel in the Cathedral, where a handsome monu-
ment was erected to his memory by his widow, Augela,
daughter of Robert Bargrave, Esq., of Bridge. l)v. Boys
was distinguished as a preacher. The same year that he
obtained Tilmanstone he was called on to preach at S. Paul's
Cross, though he was then only twenty-eight years of age.
Two years later he again occupied the pulpit there. He
then preached at S. Mary's, Cambridge; and on the 11th
September 1G07 he occupied the pulpit at Ashford, when
Archbishop Abbot held his primary visitation there. On l±
June 102.3 he preached, as Dean in his Cathedral Church
before King Charles I. and Henrietta Maria, who had landed
two days previously at Dover. Dr. Boys's Commentaries,
Expositions of the Liturgy, and Sermons, were most valuable
contributions to the theological literature of the day, and
are still regarded as standard works. The churches of
Betteshanger and Tilmanstone w-ere formally united 11
October 1599. (Regist. Whitgift, iii., f. 253 b.)
20 Moses Capell. With this living he held the rectory of Bettes-
hanger, to which he had been instituted 6 August 1028. The
entries of numerous " domestic events " in the Tilmanstone
Register shew that Mr. Capell was resilient throughout his
incumbency here. In one of the entries, under 3 August
1634, his wife's name is mentioned as Mary Boyse.
21 Nicholas Billingsley. Previously Master of Faversham
Grammar School, where he was succeeded, in 1044, by
Penitence Nicholls. The Parish Register of Faversham con-
tains the following baptismal entry: " 1033, 1 Nov. Nicholas
son of Nicholas and Letitia Billingsley." His name occurs
in the Parish Register of Tilmanstone under 10 October
1047, when his daughter Lettice was buried. He held also
the rectory of Betteshanger, which he resigned 4 July 1051,
according to an entry in the Register of that parish. He
probably resigned Tilmanstone at the same time. It appears

that he did not live many years after leaving Tilmanstone, as
his son Nicholas in the introductory epistle to one of his
literary productions, entitled The Infancy of the World,
written in 1656, speaks of his late reverend father.
Humphry Dicus. There seems no reason to doubt that he
came next after Mr. Billingsley, though the date of his being
admitted to the living has not been found. His name appears
in the Parish Eegister under 7 June 1652, when his son
Humphry was baptized. Entries of the baptism of five other
of his children also occur in 1658, '60, '63 (two), and '68.
The following entry in the Eegister refers to the replacing of
the font, which had been removed in the Commonwealth
period: "Mary the daughter of Christopher Ellis and Jane
his wife was baptized Dec. 28th being Innocents Day 1662,
and was the first child that was baptized in the font newly
set up again." The entry of the burial of Sarah, wife of Mr.
Dicus, occurs under 19 July 1673 ; and the entry of his own
burial is given thus : " Mr. Humphry Dicus, minister of this
parish, was buried 22nd of Oct. 1675." In MS. 1126, in
Lambeth Palace Library, the following account is given of
Mr. Dicus and of his parish, under date of October 1603 :
"A man of good parts and principles, but in somethings
indiscreet. He is tenuant to ye Arch. Bp. at £6 rent. Im-
proued rent £50. Twenty Houses in ye Parish, but not aboue
20 p'sons that come to ye Commun. Sr. Tho. Peyton, Ld of ye
Mannor. M1' Eogge ye chiefe man in ye parish. W"1 Neale
taylor, John Ayres carpenter, notorious Anabaptists. Church
much out of repayre. Chancell well. No Surplice." The
value of the living is entered as £40, and as augmented by a
like sum. Mr. Dicus also held "Beauxfeild alias Whitfeild,"
respecting which there is the entry: "About 30 Eamiiies
in ye p'ish. Communicants about 60, but not aboue 10 last
Easter. Church and Chancell in good repayre. A surplice
in making." The Family Chronicle of Eiehard Fogge, of
Dane Court, contains much interesting local information
about this period (see Arch ceologia Cantiana, V., 112 — 132).
James Burvill. Of Queen's Coll., Camb., B.A. in 1672.
Entries of the baptism of five of Mr. Burvill's children indi-
cate that he resided here. On the day of his institution he
received a licence from the Archbishop to serve also the cure
of " Whittfeild." The entry of his burial occurs under 6 A pr.l
1697.

On the day of his institution he also obtained the Arch-
bishop's licence to serve the cure of Whitfield. He was
domestic chaplain to Charles, Earl of Lauderdale; and, on
25 November 17 14, lie obtained a dispensation to hold the
rectory of Little Mongeham, value £10 per annum, with
Tihnanstone, which was of the same value. The entry of the
burial of his wife Anne occurs in the Register under 24
October 1700 ; bis own burial took place on 1 April 1710.
There is also in the Register the following interesting refer-
ence to work done in the church during his incumbency :
" Memorandum : That the Chancel of the parish Church of
Tihnanstone was fully & wholly repaired in the year of our

The oldest existing portions of the communion plate date
from the time of this vicar, the paten bearing marks which
point to its manufacture in 1703-4, while the chalice appears
to have been made in the following year.
25 Nicholas Carter. Of Emman. Coll., Camb., B.A. 1710, M.A.
1714, S.T.P. 1728. A few days after his collation to Tilman-
stone he obtained the Archbishop's licence to serve the cure
of Sutton, near Dover ; and about two years later he was
appointed to the Perpetual Curacy of Deal Chapel, which he
held for more than fifty years. In 1734 he obtained the rec-
tory of Dam ; and on resigning Tilmanstone he was collated
to the rectory of Woodchurch, which he held by dispensation
with Ham. He was also one of the Six Preachers in Canter-
bury Cathedral. He died at Deal, 23 October 1774, in the
87th year of his age, and was buried at Ham. He was father
of the celebrated and learned Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, whose
" Memoirs," written by her nephew, the Rev. Montagu
Pennington, rector of Northbourne, went through four edi-
tions within a few years of her death, which took place in
180G. In the year 1719 Mr. Carter obtained a licence to

26 John Jacob. Of Univ. Coll, Ox, B.A. 1717, M. A. 1723. With
this vicarage he held the living of S. John Baptist, Margate.
He was also domestic chaplain to Selina, Dowager Countess
Ferrers. He died 21 December 1763, and was buried at
Margate. In the Library at Lambeth Palace are preserved
Mr. Jacob's answers to the "Inquiries" of Archbishop
Seeker, issued 1 May 1758. Speaking of residence and services,
he says : " Besides Tilmanstone I have ye Living of Margate,
where I reside, but have a curate at Tilmanstone always
resident, & allow him 20 Pounds a Year & ye Surplice
Pees ; he is in Priest's Orders. I go over at proper times as
oft as conveniently I can. The curate is vicar of Walder-

patron and rector of Murston. He was of Emman. Coll,
Camb, B.A. 1756. Deacon 18 December 1757, by James
Johnson, Bishop of Gloucester. Priest 11 March 1759, by
Thomas Seeker, Archbishop of Canterbury. The day fol-
lowing his ordination as priest he was licensed to serve the
perpetual curacy of Minster, in Shepey, at a salary of £10 per
annum. On 24 August 1763 he was instituted to the vicar-
age of S. Mary, Sandwich, which he appears to have resigned
on being collated to Tilmanstone, as he was again instituted
to the same on 4 February 1764. He finally resigned
S. Mary's on succeeding his father as rector of Murston, to
which he was instituted 12 October 1774. While vicar of
S. Mary's, Sandwich, he presented to that church two hand-
some service books, which have been in use for more than a
century. To the church of Murston he gave a small silver
chalice, which is still in use. It bears the inscription : " Ex
Dono Eevdi Egertoni Leigh Huj. Eccl. Eectoris, Oct1' 12.
1774." Mr. Leigh died 13 April 1788, at the age of 53,
leaving a widow and four children, and was buried at Murston.

Worth. On resigning Tilmanstone he was collated to the
rectory of Tunstall, 21 December 1802. On the same day
he resigned the perpetual curacy of Ash. With the rectory
of Tunstall he also held the curacy of Newington next Sitting-
bourne. The following entry in the Tilmanstone Register,
made during Mr. Nisbett's incumbency, bears testimony to
the loyaltv of the parishioners: "Memorandum. That the
parish of Tilmanstone was illuminated on the 18th day of
March 1789, in honour of His Majesty King George the

19 December 1802, by James Torke, Bishop of Ely. On
G January 1803 he was instituted to the rectory of Charlton,
near Dover, in the gift of John Monins, Esq. He also held
the perpetual curacy of Ash, near Sandwich, and the rectory
of Knowlton. In the year 1813 Mr. Baker added about
2r. 19p. of land to the vicarage garden. A few years after
his decease this wras purchased of his representatives for the
sum of £100, half of which was contributed by the Arch-
bishop, and the remainder by the Rev. Robert Twigg, and
permanently annexed to the vicarage. In the year 1816 the
church bell was recast by T. Mears, of London. Mr. Baker
died 22nd August 1842, and was interred in the church. A
marble tablet to his memory is on the north wall of the nave.
30 Robert Twigg. Of S. Peter's Coll., Camb., B.A. 1826, M.A.

family have been liberal benefactors to this church. The
communion plate was also restored, the old paten being
enlarged at Mr. Rice's expense, and the chalice repaired;
while a handsome silver flagon was presented by his daughter,
Lady Winchilsea. In the year 1846 the church underwent
extensive repairs, costing about £150, which sum was raised
by voluntary subscriptions; and twelve years later the west

tower was heightened by the addition of a plain parapet.
In 1870 Mr. Bice presented a piece of ground tor enlarg-
ing the churchyard, which was consecrated by the Bishop
of Dover on 3rd May. In the year 1872 the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners augmented the value of the living by £30
tithe rent charge on certain lands, and by annual tenths
or payments, amounting to 15s. 7d., which had formerly been
received by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Mr. Twigg died
22 July 1880, and was buried in the churchyard, where a
marble cross marks the place of his interment. A brass plate
against the south wall, within the sanctuary, records his long
labours in the parish, as well as the death of two sisters in
the year 1874.
31 J. H. Jaquet. Of Clare Coll., Camb., B.A. 18G4-, M,A. 1874.
In the year 1881 the old vicarage house, which was the one
built by Mr. Carter in 1719, was taken down, and a more
commodious one erected on the same site, towards which the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who are lay rectors and owners
of the chancel, made a grant of £1500. In 1884 the church
underwent a complete restoration, and was reopened for
divine service on October 21st. Several features of the
building in its earlier state were brought to light as the
work progressed, among which were the priest's doorway in
the chancel, a part of the rood screen, an arch with square-
headed altar light, the impression of a piscina, the outline of
some small and early windows, traces of fresco colouring, the
impression of a stoup, or holy water basin, a small incised
Maltese cross, which may have been one of the dedication
crosses, and two Saxon tombstones, with a stone coffin lid,
imbedded in the walls. The work of restoration included,
among other things, the re-roofing of the chancel with oak,
the introduction of choir-seats of the same material, and the
paving of the floor with encaustic tiles. Also the entire
re-seating of the nave with oak, and erection of an oak screen,
separating the body of the church from the tower, which is
now used as a vestry. The removal of the gallery, which was
at the west end of the nave, displayed to view the fair pro-
portions of the tower arch. The tine old Norman font, and
the tympanum over the south door, of the same period, were
also judiciously restored. The entire work was carried out
under the direction of Mr. Ewan Christian. The Ecclesias-
tical Commissioners undertook the restoration of the chancel,
at an outlay of more than £328. The remainder of the work
was effected at the cost of upwards of £870, which was raised
by a grant from the Diocesan Church Building Society, and

by subscriptions from numerous friends. In addition to
which many costly uril'ts were presented to the church, among
them being the holy table, by Axlmiral Bice, in memory of his
mother, a carved oafc lectern \>\ Mr. Foreman, with books for
its use by Miss (\ Boteler, a Lich gate by Mrs. Cooper, a
daughter of the late vicar, an oat font-cover, and other things,
by the Hon. .Mrs. Somerset Warde. and a stained glass win-
dow for the nave, representing the Holy Women at the
Sepulchre, by the Dowager Countess of Winchilsea. On
Thursday, 30 October 1890, a service was held to mark the
completion of the reredos. The central ligure, in a setting of
alabaster, representing the Saviour after His Resurrection, is
from a design by a Florentine artist, Taddio Gaddi. The
work was carried out by Messrs. Powell of Whitefriars, at
the cost of about £114, which was defrayed by subscription.

THE ANCIENT FABRIC OF THE CHURCH
OF ST. MARY THE VIRGIN, DOVER,
BY THE REV. CANON PUCKLE.
Having, during the first year after my Institution to
this ancient Vicarage, cleared away all parochial oppo-
sition to any work of Church Restoration, I found
myself free, in the middle of 1843, to seek Architect's
advice. Such advice I obtained from Mr. John Chessell
Buckler, sometime Consulting Architect to the Pre-
sident and College of St. Mary Magdalene, Oxford.
We agreed that our first step, with a view to Restora-
tion, must he to examine and record every mark in the
condition of the Fabric ; every sign by which evidence
might tell its own story. And now, in response to the
Secretary's request, for the information of our Archaeo-
logical Society's Meeting, I do not know that I can do
better than condense a few of my memoranda into
connected form, from which an intelligent inquirer
may draw his own conclusion. " If I give you the
facts," says the Bishop of Manchester, "there is no
need to give you the inferences ; you are as capable
of drawing inferences as I am."
We saw, at once, that the infirmities and dangers
of the fabric lay more below, than above, the ground
line. We found the floor honey-combed, almost
from end to end, and from side to side. In many
places the foundations had not been spared. Graves

sometimes intruded under tlio substones, of the columns
themselves. So reckless had been this treatment, and
so lil tie care was taken to conceal it, thai we round
pews in which there was nothing left, but the floor-
boards, between their living occupants, and the remains
in some neglected grave below. Marks of failure and
subsidence were most visible at the west end of the
church ; warning us that no trustworthy rebuilding
could be ventured upon there. An additional cause
for this soon became apparent. On laying open the
foundations of the three western bays of the nave, and
going down to an equable level of 4 to 5 feet on all
sides, we found ourselves on a fine open space of
Roman concrete, the bottom of a system of baths ;
which, entering at the south-west, crossed the nave and
both aisles, and passed out at the north side into the
churchyard.
After crossing Canon Street, and the corner of the
Market Square, traces of these Roman Baths reap-
peared at exactly the same level. They were un-
covered in preparing for the foundations of the Carlton
Club, on the west side of Market Square. The traces
of Roman work discovered there were many and
curious ; large portions of side retaining walls, in
beautifully laid courses of boulder flints ; chambers
and hypocausts ; and everywhere the same concrete
floor as at St. Mary's. One relic of the luxury of the
bath-loving Romans was a truncated statue of a
"Water-nymph, beautifully sculptured in coarse Oolite
stone. This is preserved in one of the ante-rooms of
the Dover Museum, and two views of it are given in
Archccolofjia Cantiana, XVIII., 202. Stone of the
Oolite formation occurs continually in connection
with Roman work, even in these parts of Kent, far

from the nearest known Oolite beds. It is found
among the massive remains, on the west side of Dover
Market-square, of buildings erected over the Roman
Baths, which are believed to have formed part of the
Collegiate Church of the Secular Canons of St. Martin,
after their removal from the Romano-British Church
in the Castle.* The fine spanned arch, opened out on
the north side of this ruin of Old St. Martin's Church,
proves to be built of such curious varieties of the
Oolite formation, as to suggest that this mass of build-
ing may originally have formed part of the great
group of Roman Baths themselves.
Having, then, at St. Mary's, the floor of the Baths,
and the ruins of flues and heating chambers before us,
and having determined, at whatever cost of opposition
or labour, to retain " the simple Church our Saxon
fathers raised," we had next to solve the difficulty of
accomplishing this. There was only one way. We
took out the bent and maimed tower arch ; threw a
bearing arch over the gap ; secured eight timber-
balks, for wooden legs, under it ; took down in like
manner the six western nave columns and their arches ;
numbered and stored carefully each stone ; so that, in
due time, we had only to replace them in the order in
which they were taken down. And thus the cement
in the joints is literally the only thing in which the
restored work is other than that which our Saxon
fathers built.
It was in examining the tower walls with a view
to their safety, and that of the bell-chambers above,
that the Architects ascertained a very remarkable
feature ; viz., that St. Mary's Tower is strictly not one
fabric, but two. Dividing the face of it roughly into
* Ai'dueologia Cantiana, IV., 22-25.
122 THE A.NCIENT FABRIC OF THE CHURCH
five stages, viz., the basement, t he triple low arcade,
and three slender shafted arcades above, ending with
the bell chamber ; we find the string-course between
the two lower and the three upper stages forms a
division between two wholly different buildings. There
is no continuity between the work below and that
above this string-course. There is no identity of
material, or of workmanship; no bonding, no means
of holding together what had clearly been the walls of
two periods. At what interval we cannot judge, but
at some considerable interval certainly, the upper por-
tion of the work has been superadded to the lower,
for the difference of character and structure of course
points to a corresponding difference in order of time.
And we have to consider what must have been the
approximate date of that member of a church tower,
upon which three stages of an ornate but early Nor-
man workmanship have been superimposed.
One peculiarity in the tower arch at once attracted
the wary eye of Mr. Buckler, viz., the very abnormal
line of its curve ; he was thinking how he might so
take it to pieces, as to be sure of being able to put it
together again. This peculiarity is still visible. Not
from any one centre, nor from any orderly set of cen-
tres, could this curve have been struck. It is no
segment of a semicircle ; has no relation to the ordi-
nary Norman type. It has more of the Byzantine
feeling and form ; that taste in structure and detail
which gave its character to Eastern, and East-European,
Architecture from the sixth to the tenth century ; and
has affected so many of our Saxon and Pre-Norman
Churches. It affords also a delicate example of the
Oriental horseshoe form, in which the soffit is made
to contract at, and below, the impost on each side.
TOWER OF THE CHURCH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN. AT DOVER.
THE THREE UPPER COURSES ARE NOT SO ANCIENT AS THE TWO BENEATH THEM
OF ST. MART THE VIRGIN, DOVER. 123
The same thing is traceable in the three Western
arches north and south of the Nave ; with the further
peculiarity of the northern tier of arches being set
at a foot and a half lower level than those on the
south, for no discoverable purpose or reason. These
same walls originally terminated with two massive
piers, which at first formed the end of the Eabric east-
ward ; they still remain, but are now made use of
as columns. Adjoining their foundations the traces of
a wall-return indicated where the primitive little
fabric had probably ended with a small Eastern apse.
These members, together with a low and shallow lean-
to on each side, forming North and South Aisles, we
take, in all fair probability, to have been the original
little Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Dover,
about the century of Alfred the Great.
I cannot but think that the care, and finish, and
goodness of the work, rightly interpreted, support the
likelihood of Alfred's period, rather than of a more
rude and barbarous age. Such has been taken, by
other competent judges, to be rather a note of those
days. " It is a striking thought," says the late Bishop
of Durham, in his Leaders of the Northern Church,
" that God's signal mercy — in the hour of England's
sorest need, when invaded by foreign foes, and when
darkness, spiritual, intellectual, and social, was gather-
ing thick upon it — raised up this great deliverer,
pious and devout as he was great ; the noblest type of
Englishman ! Who can say what England owes to
the great and wise Alfred, — Poet, Scholar, Soldier,
Legislator, ruling over this land ; the Eounder of our
English Literature, the Unifier of our English Terri-
tory, the chief author of our English Greatness !"
The next stage, in the history of the building, was
124 THE ANCtENT fabric of the church
its enlargement as far eastward as the present place
of the pulpit, by adding lour Norman hays to the
Length of the church. Of these only two remain,
one on each side, next to the piers terminating the
original Nave. The other six arches were swept away
about the end of the last century, pursuant to an
order in Vestry that their removal was necessary for
the sight and hearing- of the parishioners in church.
The three arches of the north side were first pulled
down, as an experiment; the three corresponding ones
were ordered to follow (so it is recorded) for the
sake of symmetry and uniformity.
About this time, it would seem probable that the
three upper stages of the Tower were built, on the
wralls of what had served as a Narthex to the earlier
church. This western addition corresponded in extent
and dignity to the eastward Norman addition, which
had the character of a Nave or of a very extended
chancel, whichever it might be more proper to call it.
The Purbeck marble Font was probably a gift to the
church about this time. I found this beautiful relic
split in two fragments, coated with the paint of ages,
and built deep into the western wall of the south
lean-to, at the base of the Tower. One of our work-
men, from the Temple Church in London, told mc
that he had not there seen so fine a piece of marble.
Perhaps the most graceful and serviceable enlarge-
ment of the original fabric was that which followed
(so the Architects concluded), about the reign of King
John ; once more carrying eastward the limit of the
Chancel, up to the present Sanctuary steps. It is
marked by two fine four-centred arches which still
remain, opening into the east end of the North
Aisle. Opposite to them, high up on the south side,
or ST. MARY THE VIRGIN, DOVER. 125
is a transition Early English window, of a not very
common type. It will remind a practised observer
of forms and detail found in French Transitional
work, as we see it on a great scale in the Choir and
Transepts of Canterbury Cathedral. This window
was a source of no small dispute and trouble. It
had been among the works specified to be carefully
taken to pieces, and restored in original place and
condition, but it tried the skill and patience of our
very intelligent masons. The foreman urged every
kind of substitute instead of it, even a new chancel
window of any design or cost we chose. But both
Architects and Vicar insisted on receiving "the pound
of flesh in the bond," as the only just and right thing.
So the window was saved — much as the Purbeck Font
had been — and it now remains as interesting an ex-
ample, of its peculiar date and tone, as may be readily
found in any part of the country.
The arches opened into the North Aisle from the
Early English Chancel, naturally caused the removal
of the lean-to aisle, and the building of a new North
Aisle. This new Aisle was made equal in length to the
rest of the Church, from the West wall of the Tower to
the East gable of the Chancel ; and its roof was carried
np to the same pitch as the rest of the Church, the Aisle
being made equal in width to the Nave. The capacity
of the old Church was thus doubled ; but at a sacrifice
of all symmetry of plan. The limits of the Chancel
were also obscured by this erection, and were not
recovered until the rebuilding, and the addition of
the present Apsidal Sanctuary, in 1841.
We searched in vain, from time to time, for any
trace of the several side-chapels, or chantries, which
have been mentioned in connection with St. Mary's ;
12(5 TUB ANCIENT FABRIC OF THE CHURCH
equally in vain did we seek for any sign of a Transept.
There was Left no foundation or site of such fabrics,
which must (one would think), if ever there, have left
traces behind. We were obliged to uncover and relay,
often to a depth of 15 feet of solid concrete, the
foundations of this old church ; we believe therefore
that any evidence of bygone work could hardly have
escaped us.
We need not extend this short elementary Paper,
which is rather concerned with the growth of the
fabric, than with the many curious historic episodes
in the story of our ancient Parish Church. The
building of the north aisle was the last point, we
know of, to be noted in connection with it. Hence-
forward it followed the too common routine of change
and deterioration experienced by so many of our
large town churches. Perhaps St. Mary's under-
went more than an average share of indignities
and sacrilege. After the suppression of the Religious
Houses by Henry VIII., the parishioners undertook
the suppression of their Parish Church, by the confisca-
tion of everything of saleable value, — the closing of
the doors for Divine Service, — the leaving the last
three recorded Rectors without means of subsistence ;
so that for all the years from their time to the middle
of the last century we have no record of any regular
or responsible parish priest for this ancient and im-
portant Cure !
The material condition of the Church, as might
well be supposed, fared no better ; even if the results
were less disastrous. It passed through a succession of
neglects, decays, and disfigurements, till it reached
the condition from Avhich it was rescued, and rebuilt
from the foundations, in 1SI3-14. Bv that time, everv

vestige of the Ancient Church had become destroyed,
or hidden. The opening of the Tower Arch was filled in
with solid white-washed timber. The three Western
bays were turned into massive walls by choking the
openings with brickwork, to carry mural monuments
of every form, size, and material, including the rarity
of a mural slab of cartridge paper, framed and glazed.
And the whole was compacted (as it were) by a pro-
digious west gallery and organ-loft, with an immense
non-speaking French organ in it. Underneath all
which, the original Church had been practically an
" unknown quantity," whether to stranger or inhabi-
tant, within any memory or tradition !

VESTIGES OF ROMAN DOVER.
BY THE KEV. CANON PUCKLK.
I almost regret having adopted the title of " Roman
Dover " for the few memoranda I can lay before the
Society ; there seems an over-ambitious ring and pre-
tension about it. There is so little now remaining
on the surface to which I ean point in ocular evi-
dence of those Roman days, that I must ask my
readers to bear with me while I put them in posses-
sion of such facts and objects as I have been able to
verify, telling us what little we know of the Dover of
Roman days.
Our obvious starting-point is the earth-work
crowning the main summit of the Castle Hill, where
the chalk cliff begins to fall sharply upon the shore ;
one of the many minor marks of Roman intrench-
ment which occur at frequent intervals along the coast
between Dover and Lymne, — the Portus Lemanis,
the strongest military station and harbour on this
shore — with a Roman road striking across the hills
direct upon Canterbury. The Pharos, built on this
earth- work, is perhaps one of the most genuine ex-
amples of Roman work of its rough and massive
period. It makes us feel, at once, the presence of the
Roman builder, in his accustomed use of his special
materials, tufa, concrete of pounded brick, with
abundant bonds and dressings of the unique Roman
red- tile brick itself. This Pharos connects itself
VESTIGES OF ROMAN DOVER. 129
unmistakably with the foundation of a similar beacon-
light, still visible in one of the casemates of the
redoubt, on the opposite western hill ; as if a portion
of the eastern Pharos had been transported there,
tufa, concrete, tile brick, iron-stone, and all ; shewing
that a double system of signal-lights was among the
first features of the Roman haven at Dover — the first
guardians of the navigation of these Channel waters.
The primitive haven of Dover was of very different
site and dimensions from the later harbour. It filled
a small space bounded by the lower half of S. James
Street, Dolphin Lane, and Russell Street, and the east
end of Dolphin Lane, through which the waterfall
of the Dour made its exit to the sea by about the line
of Woolcomber Street and the Imperial Hotel. This
space was partly uncovered in excavating for the new
Russell Street gas-works, and brought to light many
years ago the site and appliances of the old haven, —
timbered quays, groins, warping gear, hawser rings,
and other remains of a rough mariner's craft, shewing
plainly enough where the life and calling of the earlier
seafaring population of this ancient port had been.
Connected with this, we find the largest and most
important work whose traces the Roman colonists
have left behind them. I mean the sea-wall, which
protected the southern front of the Roman fortified
town. This I have had opportunities of seeing and
examining, when it was uncovered at several points in
its extent from the corner of Upper Town Wall Street,
to the corner-stone in Snargate Street, which marks the
ancient site of the Snare Gate. The work lies at
but few feet below the street level, and has been kept
quite clear of the houses on the seaward side of the
street. The material is peculiar ; simply water- worn

1J50 VESTIGES OF ROMAN DOVER.
fragments picked up as washed along the coast — flints
of every size and form, boulders, and nuggets of iron-
stone, Kentish ragj with no brick bonding; but the
whole mass compacted together by grouting with hot
lime, unmixed with anything but the finest possible
sharps, sifted from the neighbouring beach. It is
like no other material I ever met with, harder than
any natural rock, and breaking or throwing off every
wedge or tool put upon it. I remember seeing three
men once employed for a fortnight in making an
opening through it 3 feet deep, and wide enough for
about a 10-inch drain pipe to pass through !
Speaking of the Roman Wall especially, as more
or less at one with the later mediaeval Town Wall,
the massive structure seems to have turned at the
Snare Gate corner, and to have been carried up the
hill to Hadrian's Gate, popularly known as " Above
Wall," at the corner of Chapel Place ; then to have
passed by the Cow Gate and St. Martin's Postern to
Canon Street and S. Mary's Churchyard ; then to
have turned south again to S. Helen's Gate by S tarn-
brook; and then, passing by the future sites of the
Fisherman's and Butchery Gates, to have formed the
line of Town Wall Street till eastward of the Gate of
Severus ; which was also known as the Gate of the
Merchants' Bench, or the Beggars' Bench, giving the
name to Bench Street, abutting on the centre of the
southern wall.
This rough outline agrees in position and con-
figuration with the engraving of Dover in Roman
times, belonging to the Mayor and Corporation, and
hanging in the vestibule of the council chamber.
Old engravings, as a rule, are quite untrustworthy,
irreconcilable with verified facts ; and, in this instance,
VESTIGES OF ROMAN DOVER. 131
the presumed hill of the western redoubt, and the
western Pharos upon it, bristle with difficulties in the
way of imaginary localities and impossible perspectives.
Still, taken in the rough, and as a quasi-bird's eye
view, the approximate parallelogram shewn on that
engraving, and marked on the reduced Ordnance plan
opposite, may be accepted as fairly suggesting the
site, figure, and extent of Dover within the Roman
walls. I would suggest, as probably original, only the
four gates of Roman nomenclature, at the cardinal
points of the compass ; leading, according to rule,
northward by the Great Road to London ; by St.
Helen's Gate to the eastward ; by Severus' Gate to
the haven and the shore ; by Hadrian's Gate to the
hills and west country.
It will be seen that the space thus enclosed was
extremely small ; small even for the wants of a colo-
nial settlement and port like this. The haven was
ill-fitted for the wants of the smallest along-shore
trading, for the rudest naval armament ; but there
was even more to be compressed within the small open
limits of the then existing town. The actual remains
of the Roman baths, as we have explored them, shew
the liberal scale and extent on which they were built
for the use of the people, including all grades, occu-
pying nearly all the available space between the
lower foundations of S. Martin's le Grand, Canon
Street, and S. Mary's. The public works would then
have to follow (on a small scale) the palatial arrange-
ments we see in the Castrum of Silchester, between
Mortimer and Basingstoke, whether we regard it as a
Roman, or an early British, city.
Many things remain unchanged, in their sites and
uses, since the Romans occupied the earth -works on

Dover heights; and so probably with the humble
ways of the little Mailed town below. The daily uses
of the Central Forum, or Roman Market, still partly
survive in the common trade or occupations of our
own Market Square — the site itself remaining the
same. The Basilica, quite as often on a humble as
on a stately scale, with its shops, and trades, and
artificers, would be represented by the general com-
mercial centres of trade continuing there as ever ;
while the Municipal Offices, Courts of Justice, and
Official Life, Mould have passed from the Basilica to
the Old Guildhall, so many years the Municipal head-
quarters, till it was removed to the present Town
Hall. These, at all events, must have been the lead-
ing features of the public Mrorks and public life of
Roman Dover, wdien it Mras a small fortified parallelo-
gram, less than thirty-six chains by twenty-one (at a
rough measurement) within the Mralls.
The line of foot-MTay communication, between the
Pharos and the haven at the foot of the Hill, seems to
have been at all times nearly identical with Mrhat it
is noMr. Whether there was any MTay from the heights
of the Deal Road, for getting material and traffic
direct within the Castle earth-works, cannot now be
determined. But certainly towards the decay of
Roman occupation, after the end of the Diocletian
persecution at the beginning of the fourth century,
another and different step Mras taken in the primitive
Dubrian fortification. There is good reason to think
that the massive square tower, the central member of
the Church of S. Mary at the Castle, M7as not origin-
ally meant by its Romano-British builder as a church
tower, but for purposes of military defence. The
foundations Mere peculiarly laid, having no regard to
VESTIGES OE ROMAN DOVER. 133
intended openings for the four arches of nave, choir,
and transepts, but being carried on, in one equal
mass, under the whole square of the tower. The
adaptation to a cruciform church was an afterthought ;
the more immediate object and evident purpose being
to construct a massive kind of donjon tower, as if to
be a keep of the earth- work ; commanding, and hold-
ing a last resource for, any threatened investment of
the place. Defence was also clearly the purpose of
that curious feature the double splay, inward and out-
ward, of every window-opening in the building, except
in the western gable, where the Pharos masks every
possible approach from without. This I believe to
have been the first intention of the Romano-British
builders in what afterwards became one of the most
striking cruciform churches, for character and associa-
tion, in Christendom. And this simple form of the
Lord's Cross bears witness to Rome's guardianship of
her little colonial town ; while it tells more deeply of
the Christianity of England in those early and turbu-
lent days !
And now, having thus far dealt with the matter
of localities, it remains that we note something of the
means of locomotion, as afforded by the great imperial
roads, which form a still conspicuous relic of old
Roman Dover. The main highway north-west to
London is a marked example of the principles of these
most remarkable road-makers of the world. Starting
from the great Northern (medisevally called Biggin)
Gate, it pursues its way almost as straight as a line
can be drawn, along the valley to the waterhead of
the Dour ; then, scarce condescending to follow the
curve of Lydden Hill, it strikes the high table-land
towards Barham Downs ; passes straight, like an iron
134 VESTIGES OF ROMAN DOVER.
rule, over rise and fall, ridge and valley, just as they
happen to cross the Line, to Canterbury, where it falls
in with another great Roman road from the Portus
Lemanis, which follows the high level route; by
Lyrrme and Stone Street, and enters Canterbury at
Wincheap. Thence the united Roman roads are iden-
tical with the traditional and modern mail roads,
going straight and unswerving to Shooter's Hill and
Blackheath. The ordinary mail journey now (even
by London, Chatham, and Dover llailway as far as
Rochester) is still upon the old lines of Roman Dover
in its day.
There is yet another Roman road issuing from the
Dover valley, and connecting it with Richborough.
It is one of the very rare examples, we find, of
a Roman road having been constructed with due
regard to the difficulties of the ground, instead of
being carried over all obstacles in direct line across
the crest of the hill. This road leaves the valley at a
junction near Barton Farm, passing under the Deal
Railway, and entering a grassy amphitheatre in the
hollow of the hill popularly known as the Cow
Pastures. Thence it is carried along a green terrace
on the side of the hill, rising by an equable gradient
to a small depression, or cutting, through which an
old occupation roadway passes towards Guston Church.
At this point you command the whole line of the
Eastward Road from Dover to Richborough ; even
now, in spite of all surface changes, a direct and well-
defined track, which from this high point can be well
seen on a clear day, till it is partially lost in the
covert about Eastry, to reappear on drawing nearer
to Richborough; thus completing the wrell-preserved
lines of intercommunication which help us to realize
VESTIGES OF ROMAN DOVER, 135
what Dover and its adjacent country was, in days
when Rutupian oysters were a delicacy of Imperial
Rome ; when a Roman exquisite, or gastronome, was
expected to discuss the special flavour of " Natives "
of these British beds as far surpassing those of the
Ostrearia of any other waters.
We have now come practically to the limit of this
paper, as concerned with the aspect and condition of
Dover during the course proper of its Roman days.
It is a vague uncertain question where that limit
should be fixed. It is difficult to say where the purely
Roman period ends, and the Romano-British begins.
The masters of the colony did not part from their
possession, and cease to possess military occupation of
Britain, till towards the middle of the fifth century ;
but the character of that occupation, with its arts,
industries, habits, and common ways of life, had long
ceased to be of the pure and original Roman type.
I can only regret, as I said at first, my tentative and
imperfect sketch of the earlier days — its poverty of
illustration and detail. I have longed many a time
to get at the wealth of instruction there must be
lying a few feet beneath the surface even of the little
parallelogram representing to us the site of the primi-
tive Roman town ; to have seen the course and
extent of the Sea Wall, the real plan and structure of
the Public Baths, and the picturesque Estuary and
Haven guarded by the two consort lights of the
Castle and the Bredengstone hills. But excavations,
upon any adequate scale, are ever costly things ; with
which, moreover, one is seldom satisfied : the necessity
as well as the appetite for them growing with what it
feeds upon.
I shall be thankful enough to have stirred anew

any spirit of inquiry ; to have invited the attention
of perhaps younger Members to some further study
and pursuit of the more interesting branches of the
subject, beyond what ever-pressing calls and duties
permit me to follow out. There must be interest yet
unexhausted in comparative views of this ancient
town and port as it now is, and as it was from the
first to the third century, as a settlement of Imperial
Rome.

EARLY-NORMAN CHURCHES IN AND NEAR
THE MEDWAY VALLEY.
BY THE REV. GREVILE M. LIVETT.
I. Introductory : Materials, Style, and Plan.
The early- Norman builders naturally made use of
the stones which they found near at hand. In and
about the Medway Valley they discovered tufa, chalk,
flints, Kentish Rag, and Sarsen-boulders in abundance,
as well as a smaller amount of iron-sandstone. Of all
these materials that which may be looked upon as being
most characteristic of the early-Norman buildings is
calcareous tufa, called travertin by the older generation
of geologists. It is what geologists would call a
Recent deposit, and may be found wherever there are
limestone rocks in any quantity. Rainwater carries
with it into the earth a certain amount of carbonic
acid gas ; and as the water percolates through lime-
stone rocks the gas dissolves some of the carbonate of
lime, which is carried along in solution until the
water issues in springs from the ground. Then evapo-
ration ensues, the gas escapes, and the freed carbonate
of lime is deposited on the ground over which the
water flows. This natural process, which is artificially
produced in kettles and boilers when hard water is
used, is constantly going on. It may be seen at Mat-
lock in Derbyshire. In the olden times, before
streams were diverted and fields cultivated by man's
hand, in places where such springs issued in any
quantity and spreading out flowed over a gentle slope,
138 EARLY-NORMAN CHURCHES IN AND
covered, perhaps, with moss and brushwood, the
deposit formed an ever-growing crust of tufa, which
grew sometimes to some feet in thickness. The tufa
beds so formed were easily dug by our forefathers,
and yielded a favourite and economical building-stone,
very light and durable. When freshly dug it has the
appearance of a white petrified sponge, being full of
irregular holes, except that here and there it has
streaks compact and crystalline. Great quantities of
tufa are found in Italy and elsewhere,* but the idea
that it was imported thence for use in this country
must be abandoned.
The Romans, like the Normans, used the mate-
rials they found at their feet. They might import a
valuable marble for ornamental purposes, but for
rough work they used the tufa and Kentish Rag which
abound in this part of the county. The Pharos at
Dover is mainly built of tufa which the Romans dug
in the Dour Valley at Buckland, a mile or two away,
where the stuff still exists, f A bed of tufa has lately
been discovered at East Mailing. There is also one at
Leeds. A third is said to exist at Wateringbury.
These are all upon the Lower Green sand. Doubtless
there are other beds, but tufa has gone out of fashion

as a building-stone, and the sites of the deposits have
long ago been forgotten. No perfect Roman building
like the Pharos at Dover remains in our district, but
the materials of destroyed buildings may be seen in
the walls of our churches. Traces of Roman build-
ings have been found near Snodland, and the walls of
the churches of Snodland and Burham are full of tufa
associated with Roman brick and pink mortar. In
mediaeval buildings a clear distinction must be drawn
between those in which tufa occurs associated with
other Roman materials and those in which it occurs
without a trace of such other materials. In the first
case it may be taken for granted that the builders
quarried from some Roman buildings hard by, and
the material gives no clue to the date of the building
in which they are now seen. In the latter case, in
buildings, that is, in which tufa is found in quoins or
windows without admixture of Roman brick and
mortar in the walls, it may be assumed that the tufa
was freshly dug, and a careful study proves that nearly
all such buildings are early-Norman in date. It was
occasionally dug at a later date, but then chiefly for
the backing of stone vaults, for which it was especially
suitable on account of its lightness.
A clue to the fact that tufa was dug and used in
great quantities by the early-Normans was obtained
when it was noticed that Bishop Gundulf (1077 — 1108)
used it for all the cut and faced work in his cathedral
at Rochester and in the abbey at West Mailing. The
knowledge of this fact led to a careful survey of several
of the churches of the neighbourhood. The general
results of the survey may be briefly stated. There
are not a few churches which contain well-marked
features of earlv-Norman date, and in every case that
IK) EARLY-NORMAN CHURCHES IX AND
I have yet seen tufa is the material used for cut and
faced work. In a few churches, almost con lined to
the strip of country where the "Folkestone Beds " crop
out, a dark-red, ferruginous sandstone is used with the
tufa : this may he seen at Ditton, Addington, and
Leeds. Occasionally chalk is found on the inside of
windows, as at Ryarsh. But tufa is always the chief
material. Trottescliffe and West Farleigh are among
the best examples of churches which arc decidedly
early-Norman ; Leybournc, also, may he noted. Be-
sides these there are many churches whose simplicity
of plan suggests an early date, the more decided early-
Norman features, such as windows and doors, having
been swept away by later alterations or insertions. In
such cases an early-Norman date is proved by the
character of the walling or the material of the quoins.
Addington is a case in point. There is yet another
group of churches which must be assigned to an
early-Norman foundation : those which have been
so much altered by later additions that the original
plan is lost to the eye, but in which a quantity of
tufa is found in the walls. In these cases a careful
scrutiny has been rewarded by the detection here and
there of a voussoir or some other well-defined tell-tale
stone. In such a case, again, if the church were
measured up and plotted on paper, the early-Norman
plan would probably reveal itself. Aylesford serves as
an example. Sometimes, as at East Farleigh, the
nave of which was entirely rebuilt a year or two ago,
and at Hailing, a single quoin of tufa affords sufficient
evidence of the date of the foundation of the first
stone church. Thus in nearly all the churches of this
district a nucleus of early-Norman date has been
actually discovered, or its probability established.
NEAR THE MED WAY VALLEY. Ill
The early-Norman style suited the materials, and
the materials suited the style. The materials were
not adapted to highly finished work; the style was
massive, rough, and singularly plain. The tufa, chalk,
or other local material Avas dressed with axes, chisels
being unknown to the Normans. The windows were
placed as high in the walls as possible so that the
draughts might be kept above the heads of worship-
pers. The actual openings were small, because
glazing was expensive and much light was not wanted.
They were closed, when occasion required, with wooden
shutters. The shutters sometimes swung on hooks, and
fitted into a small rebate on the outside. More com-
monly the openings were slightly chamfered on the
outside and the shutters inserted from the inside and
secured by slots near the outer surface. Internally
the openings were often considerably splayed, and the
sills rose up to them either with a slope or in steps.
The arch was made quite plain, and there is one pecu-
liar feature which is very constant, in the examples
that remain — the springers of the arch on the inside
are set back slightly from the plane of the jamb, so
that there is an almost imperceptible set-off which
dies away along the springing-line as it approaches
the external opening. The general proportions of the
windows strike a mean between the broader and lower
windows of Saxon architecture and the taller and
narrower windows of later Norman date. Examples
are not at all uncommon, but they are seldom found
in a perfect state. Most of the doorways and chancel-
arches of the period have been swept away, but those
that remain are fairly perfect. The chancel-arch at
West Farleigh is of two plain square orders on the
nave-side and of one order on the chancel-side. It is
142 EARLY-NORMAN CHURCHES IN AND
slightly stilted and has no impost or plinth. The head
of a small chancel-door remains at Ditton. The im-
posts are large square blocks which project about three
inches from the jamb-plane, the lower angle being
chamfered off. The western doorway at West Far-
leisdi is more advanced in character. Internally it
is quite plain and slightly splayed. Externally it has
two orders. In the arch the recess is partly filled
with a bold round which springs on each side from a
rudely-cut cushion-cap and chamfered abacus. The
jamb-shafts have disappeared, and there are no signs of
base-mouldings.
The walls of the early- Norman churches of our
district are nearly all from 2 feet 10 inches to 3 feet
in thickness. Sometimes the cross-walls are thicker
than the side -walls. They are built either of flints
or of Kentish Hagstones, set herringbone- wise and in
fairly regular courses. They are seldom strengthened
by the pilaster strips which the later Normans used.
The foundations project 2 or 3 inches beyond the face
of the wall, and sometimes this footing is formed of
tufa-blocks. Stones of large size underlie the tufa-
quoins and the jambs of doorways : huge blocks of
Sarsen-stone are often seen in such positions. The
mortar is usually of a light-brown colour and contains
white specks of imperfectly-burnt lime. The walls
were always plastered on the inside, and plastered and
rough-cast on the outside. The persistent occurrence,
throughout the district, of some of these features,
notably the thickness of the walls and the character of
the soft, sandy mortar, is most remarkable : it seems
to suggest a band of masons going from place to place
to build the churches.
There are some very early towers in this district.
NEAR THE MEDWAY VALLEY. 143
They shew the same peculiarities of style and con-
struction as the churches. One point only needs
special notice : the lower windows are always more
splayed internally than those higher up. In fact, in
some cases, the jambs of the uppermost windows are
not splayed at all. This variation of treatment is seen
in buildings of later date, e.g., the keep at Kochester.
The early-Norman tower at Dartford is almost & fac-
simile of St. Leonard's tower at West Mailing. The
walls are very thick, and the angles are strengthened
by clasping buttresses. Tufa and rag were the mate-
rials used in their construction. Gundulfs tower at
Rochester, now in ruins, was very similar. Possibly
all three were built under Gundulfs supervision. The
towers of the churches of East and West Mailing
belong to another group. The quoins are of rag-
stone and the windows of tufa ; the angles have no
buttresses. Aylesford church tower is unlike any of
those I have mentioned. The walls are not so thick,
and no tufa appears either in the quoins or in the
windows. Originally wooden "luffers" were built
into the ragstone jambs of the windows. They were
destroyed by fire and the openings blocked at an early
date. In a recent restoration the blocking was re-
moved and free-stone jambs were inserted within the
old jambs. The tower is probably the castellum noted
in the Domesday Survey, built, may be, to guard the
passage of the Medway while the Saxon wooden
church was still standing. Perhaps when this tower
was built the Normans had not yet discovered the
local beds of tufa.
Early-Norman churches should be classified accord-
ing to their ground-plans. In our district the builders
usually followed one of the two simplest types of plan.
114 EARLY-NORMAN CHURCHES IN AND
1. The simpler but less common plan is a plain ob-
long or rectangle, without aisle, tower, porch, or
chancel-arch.* The best example of this type I have
yet seen is Banning church. The original plan may
be easily traced, notwithstanding the insertion of a
later chancel-arch and the addition of tower, south
porch, and north aisle. Trottcscliffc also is a good
example, but presents some difficulties which I have
not yet solved. 2. The second and more common
type has been thus described by Mr. J. T. Mickle-
thwaitc in his paper on The Growth of English Parish
Churches, read at the Lincoln Meeting of the Archaeo-
logical Institute in the year 1880: " The simple nave
and sanctuary, the square east end, and the narrow
chancel arch." This towcrless, aisleless plan appears
in all its unaltered simplicity in the ruined chapel of
Dowd. It had nothing in common with the Italian
or basilican type, with its apse and aisles, adopted by
the builders of our abbeys and cathedrals. Both
these types were common in Saxon times, and sur-
vived the change of style at the coming in of the
Normans. The plain rectangle was probably sug-
gested by the Saxon wattle-churches; the second type
was no doubt a survival of the simpler of the Saxon
churches built with stone.
A few more examples may be mentioned. Bicknor
church was originally a simple rectangle in plan. The
aisles and tower were middle-Norman additions. The
tower is curiously placed at the west end of the south
* Perhaps the veil or curtain served the purpose alone. Cf.
Durandus (quoted by Bloxain iu his Principles of Gothic Ecclesias-
tical Architecture, vol. ii., p. 35, note) : Notandum est quod triplex
genus veli suspenditur in ecclesia, videlicet quod sacra operit
quod sanctuarium a clero dividit, et quod clcrum a populo secernit.
NEAlt THE MEDWAY VALLEY. 14-5
aisle, west of the line of the west wall of the church.
The church was restored many years ago by Mr.
Bodley. The whole of the interior was then faced
with chalk-ashlar ; and the exterior was rough-cast,
so that the walling and quoins are hidden. The only
sign that is left to view of the early-Norman work is
the blocked western doorway : this is made of tufa
with shallow imposts of chalk. The imposts are
mutilated. The present incumbent, Mr. Gardner-
Waterman, has a photograph or drawing of the west
end, exterior, taken before the restoration, which
shews the original north-western quoin, and affords
additional and conclusive proof that the aisles were
not coeval with the body of the church. Cut off the
aisles and block up the arcades and we have the form
of the early-Norman building. The striking features
of these plain rectangular churches are the absence of
chancel arch on the inside and the unbroken level of
the external ridge of the roof. Hucking was originally
built on the same plan, but its later additions are not
so easily understood on account of an unsympathetic
restoration. Tufa may be seen in some of the later
windows, and also in the jambs of the remarkable
semi-circular arch of large span in the original north
wall inside the entrance. The materials of these
jambs probably came from the original narrow door-
way in the same wall. The cut- stone of the additions
of one period was Caen -stone, of another, chalk, and
of a third, ragstone. The proportions of these two
small churches are remarkable for their great length
compared with their breadth.
Of the second kind of plan also a few examples may
be mentioned. Padlesworth* is unaltered save for the
* Near Snodland. Not the place of that name near Hythe.

destruction of the narrow chancel-arch and the inser-
tion of a wider, corbelled arch. The two churches of
Padlesworth-cum-Dowd will be more fully described
in a separate paper in a future volume. At Addington
two chantry-chapels and a western tower have been
added to the original structure, but the quoins of the
latter are still visible. Ditton is a good example for
the study of quoins. Buttresses have been built up
against four of the six angles, and in each case some
of the tufa-quoins were removed in the process to
allow the new and old work to be bonded together.
The tower is perpendicular; the vestry and the
chancel-arch are modern. The church was restored
in 18G9 by Sir G. G. Scott, who removed the original
narrow chancel-arch. The recess in the north wall of
the chancel, seen inside the vestry, was made at the
time of the restoration, but the head of it is evidently
that of an original doorway into the chancel, as proved
by the block-capitals. These imposts have already been
described. The semi-circular head is supposed to
have been a window at some time ; if so, the door-
way must have been blocked and the head glazed.
The remains of a corresponding doorway exactly oppo-
site this one and in the south wall of the chancel may
be seen on the outside. In this case the head has
been destroyed, and the lower part blocked. The jambs
and block-capitals may be seen on close examination.
Above them there is a later window. These facts
yield a peculiar arrangement : a doorway to the west
and a window to the east in each of the side walls of
the original chancel. The original windows of the
nave have disappeared. The tufa-footing is exposed
at the bottom of the chancel- walls, and just above it
on the south side a plain instance of herringbone
masonry in iron-sandstone. Rvarsh church is another
NEAR THE MED WAY VALLEY. 147
good example. The chancel-walls shew herringbone
masonry in Kentish Rag, two good tufa-quoins, a
small window on the north side, and the remains of
three openings in the east wall which were constructed
with chalk on the inside. The perpendicular south
aisle and the western tower are, of course, additions.
The north wall of the nave is original, and contains
one of its original windows. The tufa-quoin of the
north-eastern angle of the nave has been rebuilt into
the angle of the modern organ-chamber attached to
the north side of the chancel. The upper part of
north-western quoin is in situ, the lower part rebuilt
into a buttress built up against the western face of the
angle. The old chancel-arch was removed when the
aisle was built. Another church worth notice is that
of Leybourne. There the south wall is early-Norman,
and its eastern quoin remains intact. The western
quoin has been rebuilt lately, but one or two of the
tufa-blocks of the old quoin may be detected in the
walling hard by. The old chancel- Avails have been
refaced throughout and angle buttresses added. The
north aisle and tower are both additions to the original
building. Yet another example exists at Deptling,
where almost the whole of the south walls of the nave
and chancel are early-Norman. A close scrutiny
detects the jamb of one of the old windows.
These examples suffice to shew how much early-
Norman work remains in the neighbourhood, and to
illustrate the additions made to the original buildings.
Seldom or never, in mediaeval times, was a church
pulled down and rebuilt on a larger scale for the sake
of increased accommodation or of greater glory. In
those days there were no schools to which the services
might be transferred during rebuilding or alteration.
l2
IIS EARLY-NORMAN CHURCHES IN AND
It was invariably so arranged that some part of the
church was available for use. In some cases the only
addition to a church has been that of a chantry-
chapel on one side or both sides of the chancel. As a
rule the first addition to a church was that of an aisle.
This was generally built on tin; side of the nave away
from the graveyard, through which ran the path lead-
ing to the chief or only entrance. In a double-aisled
church it is safe to assume that the aisle standing on
part of the graveyard is later in date than its com-
panion. The graveyard was usually placed on the
south or sunny-side of the church. Mr. Micklethwaite
tells us that western towers, as well as aisles and
chapels, are usually additions to the earlier churches.
There are many examples of this rule in our district.
The early-Norman towers which have been mentioned
above do not come under this rule. They appear to
have been built, not as mere church-towers, as we are
now used to consider them, but rather for defensive
purposes and apart from the churches which stood
near them.*
In most of our churches, however many the addi-
tions, whether they have been destroyed or still exist,
the student who has some knowledge of Norman
ground-plans, and of local building-stones and the
periods at which the use was fashionable, may gene-
rally succeed in tracing the original building and the
history of the changes and additions which may have
well-nigh absorbed it.
* These early towers deserve more attention than they have
received : a description of St. Leonard's tower and chapel at West
Mailing is already in MS., but the illustrations cannot be finished
in time for this Volume.

APPENDIX.
In order to avoid distracting the reader's mind by frequent digres-
sion and reference to footnotes, I have thrown some additional
matter into an Appendix. This will serve to bring the results of
the paper into line with facts drawn from a wider area and prevent
the possibility of those results being applied too rigorously in a
study of the churches of other districts. It would be absurd, for
instance, to apply the tufa test to districts where tufa does not
occur ; and it is not necessarily applicable wherever it does occur :
all that has been asserted, and I think proved, is that this test is a
faithful one in the district that has been under review. At the same
time it seems that the study of local materials has not received the
attention it deserves here or elsewhere : no description of a church
can be considered complete unless it gives the names of the stones
of which the church is built, and the sources, local, or otherwise,
from which the stones were drawn. Again : it has been laid down
as an axiom that most of our churches have a nucleus of early-
Norman date, that is of late 11th century or very early 12th
century date. Of course this period must have been extended had
not the paper been treating of a particular district, and that dis-
trict near the centre of Bishop (xundulf's influence. Under that
influence the Saxon churches were rebuilt by the Normans at an
early date after their coming into the country. The Normans found
the parochial system well developed, and a church in every parish.
As the Saxon churches in the great majority of cases were built of
wood, the Normans, in rebuilding them in stone, had to find fresh
material and felt themselves untrammelled in respect of plan and
design. Still, there was a goodly number of Saxon churches built
of stone, and these the Normans wisely refrained from destroying.
Darenth and Wouldham, in our district, are undoubted examples of
Saxon stone churches which the Normans left standing, and to
which they made additions when they felt they were necessary.
With regard to the plan, neither the Saxons nor their Norman
successors restricted themselves to the two simple types of plan
which I have described. Mr. Micklethwaite, who does not mention
the oblong plan, speaking of the other — the plain nave and square-
150 EARLY-NORMAN CHURCHES IN' AND
ended chancel— tells us it remains in a perfecl stale in the Saxon
church of Escomh in Durham, | and it is seen, with a' porch
(originally, Mr. Irvine Bays, with two porches) at Brudford-on-
Avon. lint at Stow in Lincolnshire the Saxon church was built
on the fully-developed cruciform plan; and the Saxon churches
of Deerhurst and Worth were likewise cruciform, though at
Worth the transepts were small, and at Deerhursl they were
separated from the nave by a solid wall. With such examples
before them it is natural that the Normans sometimes used more
complex forms. Occasionally, as at Melbourne in Derbyshire,
a fully-developed monastic plan with aisles and apses was followed ;
but the monastic influence was not often felt in country churches,
which at first were remarkable merely for the square east-end and
the absence of aisles to the nave. According to Mr. Micklethwaite
the types which in some districts asserted themselves in Norman
times side by side with the more simple and common types, are,
firstly, nave and chancel with tower in the middle ; and, secondly,
nave, transepts, and chancel, with central tower. The second will
probably be found to have been a development from the first, the
transepts supplying the necessary support to the tower as well as
giving the cross form. Albury in Surrey is a good example of a
plain, unbuttressed tower standing between chancel and nave. At
Shiere, the next parish, the same plan was adopted, but the tower
strengthened by deeply -projecting buttresses on the north and south
sides. The space between the two buttresses on each side was
thrown into the church, so that on the inside the cross form is sug-
gested. It is easy to imagine the development of these wings into
true transepts.
The four types, then, of Norman ground-plans are these :
1. The simple oblong ; 2. The simple nave and small sanctuary ;
3. The more complex nave and sanctuary with tower between them ;
4. The complete cruciform plan with central tower. With these
four types in mind and some knowledge of local materials the student
can seldom fail to discover in a church the original building amid
later additions. Perhaps I may venture to say that, for a satis-
factory solution on the one hand of the development of the original
ground-plans of our country churches, and, on the other hand, of
the puzzles presented by later additions in individual cases, there
are these desiderata : separate descriptions of the remains of Saxon
churches, and a master-mind to bring them together and discrimi-
nate the styles and periods of Saxon architecture — a gigantic task ;

and, a careful search for and comparative study* of original Xorinan
churches in districts bounded by the limits of the different local
building-stones — an easier task, towards which the foregoing paper
is a slight contribution. The title of the paper implies a short
series of papers in which I hope to describe in detail some of the
early-Norman buildings of the Medway Valley.

The axe has been mentioned as the tool which the early-Normans
used in dressing their ashlar-work. It continued in use for this
purpose, until, as Grervase of Canterbury tells us, William of Sens
introduced the chisel into the country in the year 1174. The late-
Normaus used a drill to work out the deeper portions of their elabo-
rate carving, but throughout the whole period they finished off even
the most delicate work with the axe. This gives us a clue to the
reason why Norman ornament is generally so shallow. The marks
of the axe form a good test of Norman ashlar-work. Then, as
nowadays, stones were squared and faced on the bench, the banker-
man putting his banker-mark on each stone when he had finished it.
In facing the stone the workman so handled his axe that its marks
appear diagonally across it, not quite parallel, but radiating with
* The need of comparative study may be well illustrated b}r the results it
gives in the district around Guildford and Godalming. Here, as elsewhere, the
plain nave and sanctuary, was the common type, but there are a few interesting
churches which have grown from the cruciform plan with central tower. The
influence may be traced to St. Mary's, Guildford. This church has grown up
round a very curious Saxon tower which once stood by itself on the boundary of
the enclosure in which, later on, the castle was built. The tower is built of
flints and has on each side four pilaster strips of the same material, which are
still visible above the roofs of the church, and some of them at the bottom of the
tower inside the church. To the east of this tower a small oblong church was
added in the early-Norman period. A few years later an aisleless nave and
north and south transepts were added to the remaining sides of the tower, and,
as these sides were far removed from being square with each other, and as each
of the new arms was laid out at right-angles to the side of the tower to which it
was attached, the result was a very irregular cross-church. The three added
arms have been absorbed by later alterations and additions, but have been re-
covered by careful measurement of the building. The influence of this cross-
plan with central tower was felt at Godalming and elsewhere. At Godalming
there was a plain nave and sand nary, perhaps of Saxon date. When additions
were needed, instead of following the usual methods, the builders made the
chancel the centre of a cruciform church. They kept the old nave, and added tran-
septs and a new chancel to the three external sides of the old chancel. They also
thickened these three sides of the old chancel and built a central tower on them.
The original chancel arch with its wall was unaltered, the west wall of the tower
resting on its gable. These examples no doubt suggested the fully-developed
cruciform chapel (St. Martha's), of later Norman dale, which stands on the old
Pilgrims' Way near Guildford.

the swills of the arm from the elbow as centre.] The diagonal marks
are no1 easily seen on Buch a rough material as tufa, bul on the
finer Caen-stone of the later Norman periods they arc unmistakeable
and easily distinguished from the minks of the chisel used in the
13th century. The Early English mnsons used both ((plain chisels
and claw-tools, according to the nature of the stone they had to
deal with, and moved them across the squared stones from aide to
side, so that the marks always appear vertical. Thejiew tool had
much influence in hastening the change of style: the shallow hol-
lows of the Norman arch-mouldings immediately gave place bo the
deep hollows which characterise the Early English art-lies and
vaulting-ribs. The axe remained in use for rough work for many
years, even for centuries, but seldom for finished work. These facts
make it most desirable that in restoration or repairs the original face
of mediaeval ashlar should not be tampered with.

The term middle-Norman calls for little explanation. It has
been applied to what is sometimes merely called Norman, sometimes
pure Norman, in distinction from early-Norman and transition-
Norman. It is characterised by the finely-jointed and finely-faced
ashlar which came into fashion during the early years of the 12th
century, accompanied by scollopped capitals, moulded bases, and
shallow zigzag and other heraldic-looking ornaments. The sub-
division of the style into early, middle, and late-Norman seems
natural and convenient. Later Norman is merely a relative expres-
sion, applied to either middle or late- Norman, or to both together,
according to the context.
Mr % # # #
A few words on Norman materials, as found in the district under
discussion, will not be out of place. The deposit of tufa at East
Mailing has lately been pierced by Mr. White, a builder of AVest
Mailing. This discovery confirms the tradition noted by Mr. \V\
Topley, E.R.S., in his Geological Survey Memoir, The Geology of
the Weald (1.875), p. 369 : " Calcareous tufa occurs at East Mailing,
lying about in the fields ; it is no doubt derived from the Kentish
Rag. There is no section shewing it now, but I am told that it
runs in a line from the Rectory westwards. It has been dug in
some quantity at one time, as large masses are built into the walls
of East Mailing Church, and it has been much used in St. Leonard's
tower. This tower is Earlg-Normim The arches are con-
structed with tufa, whilst in later and more finished Norman work

(as the keep at Rochester Castle), Caen-stone is used for tin's pur-
pose." Tins note is particularly interesting, shewing that a Groioyitt
nearly twenty years ago, knew well that the keep at Rochester was
built alter the time <>f Grundulf, to whom to this clay it is popularly
ascribed.
As the Norman builders gained experience in their art, feeling
the need of a finer stone, they abandoned the use of tufa. Caen-
stone took its place ; but it is not common in our district, for there
was little building done here in the middle-Norman style, most
of the parish churches having been only recently rebuilt. It is seen
in the chapter-house and second Norman nave of Rochester Cathe-
dral, which were built between 1115 and 1130. Frindsbury church
was built or rebuilt about 1127, and the middle-Norman chancel
of Caen-stone remains. The eastern part of the chancel of Darenth,
added to the Saxon chancel (now destroyed) about the game time,
is likewise of Caen-stone. The tower-arch at East Farleigh belongs
to the same period and style. The chapel of St. John in the Tower
of London, which was built by Bishop Gundulf at the King's com-
mand, seems to belong to what may be called the transition from
early-Norman to middle-Norman. The round pillars of the arcade
are built of tufa and Caen-stone used indiscriminately. The tufa
was carefully selected and dressed and does not shew its characteristic
vesicular nature. The chapel may be dated about 1090, and pro-
bably marks the introduction of Caen-stone into use in England by
the king's architect. Padlesworth church (now dismantled) seems
to illustrate the change of material in much the same way. In a
few cases chalk was used in country churches at this time, as at
Wouldham, where a north aisle was added : perhaps the Caen-stone
was found too expensive. Caen-stone, however, was used in the
tower, with its fine arch and doorway, at Borden and iu the similar
doorway at Bredgar.
In the late- Norman period, when the Normans had gained a
fuller knowledge of the resources of the country, and aisles or
chantry-chapels were being added to the churches, they introduced
the use oijirestone quarried from the Upper Greensand at God-
stone near Reigate The chantry-chapels at Gillingham and New-
ington, and the destroyed chapel on the south of the old chancel at
Darenth, of which the arcade still remains, maybe cited as examples
of the early use of this stone. The more strictly local stone, chalk,
was used in some cases, as at Burham and Wouldham. Firestone
became very popular in the 13th and 14th centuries. The Early
154 EARLY-NOKMAN CHURCHES, ETC.
English choir and the transepts of Rochester Cathedral are built
with this stone. In the L5th and Kith centuries Kentish Bag
came into common use for ail cut and Faced work.
It is thus seen that the district affords special advantages to
those who care to study the growth of our parish churches. Burhain
church is a remarkable example of changes. Originally there was
the early-Norman church of the common plan. A century later
a north aisle was added, to be followed shortly by a south aisle.
Then, in the L3th century, a new chancel was built up round the
old one, on a much larger scale, having side-chapels separated from
it by arcades of two arches. Late in the 14th or early in the 15th
century, a tower was built at the west end, and at the same time
the aisles and side-chapels were demolished, their arcades blocked,
the east wall rebuilt further west, and the whole church thus
reduced to a plain rectangular plan with western tower and south
porch. Tufa, chalk, firestone, Kentish Rag, were the materials
used successively at these four periods. AVindows of each period
exist either in their original positions or removed from some de-
stroyed portion and placed in the blocking-walls.
In conclusion, I have to express my thanks to Mr. J. T.
Micklethwaite, F.S.A., for the loan of his paper on The Growth of
English Parish Churches, which has given uie much help, and to
Mr. AV\ AVhitaker, F.R.S., for scoring a few valuable notes on the
MS. of this paper.

FIFTY-EIGHT RECTORS OF TROTTESCLIFFE.
BY REV. T. S. FRAMPTON, M.A.
In the year 788, Offa, King of Mercia, gave a portion of his
possessions called " Trottesclib," containing six ploughlands, to the
Church of St. Andrew at Rochester, for religious purposes. In the
course of the Danish invasions, which followed not long after, this
gift was wrested from the church, and was not restored until the
General Assembly held at Penenden Heath in 1076, when Lanfranc,
Archbishop of Canterbury, having recovered this among other
possessions of the church, gave it. back to Gundulf, Bishop of
Rochester. In 1086, when Domesday Book was compiled, mention
is made of a church at " Totesclive." From these facts it has been
supposed that a church was built here either immediately after Offa's
donation, or between 1076 and 1086. The wide-jointed masonry in
the eastern portion of the structure seems to point rather to the
earlier period, and, if this is so, Trottescliffe affords an example of a
church erected in An»lo-Saxon times.

from fragments found outside. Trottescliffe was a very favourite
place of retirement with this prelate, who not unfrequently passed
Christinas and Easter here, and on two other occasions stayed

terrible pestilence, known as the Black Death, in 1348-9. Succeeding

THE RUINED CHAPEL OE ST. KATHERINE
AT SHORNE, KENT.
BY GEORGE M. ARNOLD, F.S.A.
In February 1890 an advertisement in the Kentish newspapers
announced the sale by auction of a freehold property at Shorne in
Kent. It stated that " adjoining and in the rear is an ancient chapel
supposed to have been formerly occupied by Monks, and visited by
pilgrims on their way to the Shrine of Thomas a Becket The
spot is rich in antiquarian interest, and the chapel is well known to
Archaeologists."
I instructed an agent to attend the sale and to purchase the
property with the view of preserving this little mediaeval structure
which had been used as a cowshed and stable.
The first question arising as to the Shorne chapel, is whether it
was a " libera capella," authorized by the Ordinary for the use of
the lord and tenants of some local manor; or whether it was a cell
or direct dependency upon the Priory of St. Saviour's, Bermondsey,
in whom the church of Shorne, and the great tithes, and advowson
of the vicarage were vested ; or whether it was a chantry chapel
founded tor the saying of masses for some particular benefactor and
his family, living or dead.
In the first place (and this is an argument against its being a
libera Capella) it does not appear to have had such a separate
existence as to have paid tenths or first fruits, nor does it seem to
have made the Chrism offering to the Bishop of the diocese yearly al
Easter, and indeed the only indication I could for some time find
of there being a separate priest besides the vicar in the parish of
Shorne, arose from the circumstance that " Nicholas, chaplain of
Shorne," is mentioned as one of the witnesses to a charter con-
firming the appropriation of the churches of Cobham and of Shorne
(by Walter, Bishop of Rochester), to the monks of St. Saviour's,
Bermondsey. The Instrument of Appropriation, which is given in
the Registrum Rqffense, p. 229, is attested as follows : " Hiis
testibus Werieo abbate de Eeversham Ecclesie, Gervasio Decano
Boffen., Boberto Capellano nostro, Nicholuo Capellano de Sorites, et
aliis."
The circumstance that neither in the Registrum Roffense, nor
in any other Episcopal register, aught is to be found as to the insti-
tution of any Clerk in Holy Orders to this chapel, is singular, and
there is a complete absence of any record id' its consecration. 11

196 THE RUINED CHAPEL OF ST. CATHERINE
would scarcely have been a Chapel i>t' Base under the control <>l" the
Vicar, having regard in the probable population of Shorne, since
it is within a quarter of a mile of the Parish Church, and upon a
direct road, lull if il were, we should still have expected BOme
evidence of its consecration, or of a licence for the celebration of
the Divine Offices and Sacraments, with a more or less strict reserva-
tion of the rights of the mother church.
In 1 197, the inhabitants of the neighbouring village of G-ravesend
built such a chapel of ease. They had largely migrated to the north
end of their parish, nearer to the Thames, and complained of the
distance of their parish church. So the Vicar- General of Richard.
Bishop of Rochester, licensed for .Mass and the other divine ollices
their new "basilica sive oratoriwm" provided it did no1 prejudice
the parish church.
Afterwards, in 1510, Cardinal Fisher Consecrated it, first protest-
ing that the consecration was "not to lie in prejudice of the parish
church, or as authorizing the burial of the dead, or the baptism of
infants, nor the ministration of any other holy rite in such chapel
except the consecration of the Lord's Body."
It is also worthy of note that Hasted, in his great work, wholly
overlooks this little chapel at IShorne, an omission which is noticed
and commented upon by Thorpe, who, in his Custvmale Rojfense,
\). 247, writes as follows : —
" On the right hand of the road leading up to Shorne Street, and
opposite Mr. Maplesden's house, stands an antient and fair chapel,
or oratory ; which, with some additional building, is now used as a
Malt house, and a small tenement erected against the east end of it
inhabited by the Maltman. I was informed by an antient and
creditable person there, that in digging the foundation of the new
building, or lean to, a stone coffin and many human bones were
disturbed. On the north side is a small orchard which probably
was the cemetery to it. This edifice has not been mentioned by any
writer, nor have I been able hitherto to meet with anything relative
to its foundation and endowment. It is likely to have been raised
by some of the eminent proprietors of the manors of Shorne and
Pioundall, but this is merely conjectural. The measurement is as
follows : Gable end, to the west, twenty -three feet six inches. North
side, forty-three feet eight inches. The drawing was taken A0 1774,
and exhibits the north-west view of it. See Plate XX., fig. 3."
Upon my architect's examination of the building, he detected
certain indications of want of unity of date in the style of the
walls (flint and stone work), and upon digging in consequence
about one-third of the whole length from the east end, the base of a
buttress was uncovered on the north side, and the same result
attended a like excavation on the south, at a similar distance from
the east end. He gathered from this that the original erection
ended there, which gave an interior length of IS feet by a width of
17 feet. This would suffice for a mere chantry, but at the end of
another third of the length of the little edifice, in its present exten-
sion, the base of another buttress was uncovered on the north side,

without any corresponding foundation appearing on the south side;
and finally, &i the north and south angles of the west end. the bases
of two large buttresses were exhumed, as was the case at the like
angles of the east end.
It is therefore possible that, after its first erection, the building
was elongated upon two successive occasions, and as this could but
have been for the purpose of affording increased accommodation for
worshippers, it rather suggests the later use of the chapel as a place
of worship, in the sense of a chapel of ease.
The style of the eastern part of the building, where the east
window has retained its old sill and jambs up to the springing, with
the starting of two vertical mullions worked in the stone sill, is
Decorated or Second Pointed, the window being like those at the east
ends of Northfleet, Southfleet, and Dartford churches, and in the
pair of side windows of one light each, next to the chancel, each head
is ogeed, the other and westerly openings of the same size terminated
with simple Gothic cusps.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the interior is the sedilia,
of two seats, under one ogeed Decorated arch, with an adjacent
piscina to the east. In the north wall, close to the east end, is a
small aumbry.
It is clear from the appearance of the remains that the chapel
had been purposely destroyed, and the eastern (the only mullioned)
window defaced. Its fragments were built up mixed with red
Jacobean bricks. The wall-plates were at the same time removed,
and the walls raised by a few courses in order that the building
should thenceforth consist of two storeys. For the upper floor and
its supports, the timber work of the old roof was freely laid under
contribution, and cut as required.
My architect, F. A. Walters, Esq., P.S.A., of 4 Great Queen
Street, Westminster, S.W., reported as follows: "The chapel is
52 feet 4 inches long by 17 feet 2 inches wide, the side walls being
about 12 feet high from the floor. The walls are 2 feet 10 inches
thick, and are built of flint and chalk, with window-quoins and other
dressings of Kentish rag-stone. The eastern half of the building is
the oldest, and is a good (although simple) example of late
' Decorated ' work dating from about 1330. The double sedilia, the
piscina, and the aumbry remain in a fairly perfect state, but all traces
of the altar, the steps, and floor have been removed. The east
window of three lights has also been destroyed, save the cill and
jambs, which remain in position, while the four single light side
windows remain in fair preservation. The western portion of the
building is later and of inferior work in every respect, it dates probably
from about 1450 or later."
Opposite to the chapel, is situate a mansion house called "Pipe's
Place," referred to by Thorpe as Mr. Maplesden's house, for
many years the residence of the Maplesden family. It may, in some
earlier condition, have belonged to William Pepyr, and the name of
Pepyr's Place may have been converted into Piper's Place, and ulti-
mately Pipe's Place. William Pepyr was a Vicar of Shorne, who died
L98 THE RUINED CHAPEL OF ST. CATHERINE
:!ls( January L468, and lies buried in the parish enure! under the
following inscription: — "Hie jacel Dominus Willclnnis Pepyr
quondam Vicarius bujus ecclesise <|iii obiil \.i>. 1 His ultimo cue
Januarii. Cujus animse propicietur Deus. Amen."
In connection with this Vicar it may be mentioned thai amongsl
the Wills proved in the Archidiaconal Court of Rochester (Liber
IV., 1171-7:5, In. 50, C. J.) occurs the following : — Shorne,
'.27 January I 17<>. ""Willelmus Peper vicarius perpetuus ecclie
parochialis de Shorne .... [tern lego successoribus meis Vicarijs
messuagium tneum in quo inhabito sic quod non vexenl executores
mens in reparacione vicarie." Thus, although Vicar, be apparently
was not resident in the Vicarage-house, and might have occupied, or
even built, Peper's Place (or Pipe's Place, if the latter could be
fairly regarded as a corruption of the former designation), of which
the present edifice is a later transformation.
I was reluctant to rest content with this imperfect account of
the chapel, and other searches having failed I consulted Mr. AVm.
Boyd, who shortly referred me to a Commission as to concealed
lands in the Counties of Kent and Sussex, dated April 28, 1581, of
which the following is a translated copy, and subjoined to it I insert
the Certificate returned by the Commissioners.
No. 1.

" We Certify to the Barons of the Exchequer of the said Lady the Queen by

Doubtless in must of such cases the information was largely
collected and Becured beforehand, since, while the Commission is
stated and proved to have been delivered to the Commissioners on
the 28th of April 1581, the Certificate bears date but three weeks
later.
From this Certificate and especially from the low estimate of
value that it records, it is clear that the chapel and land in
Shorne were laid waste, the former probably being roofless, and it
affords ground for the further conjecture that there had been no
material endowment either of land or tithes annexed to it which
might otherwise have led to its earlier discovery, seizure, and
alienation.
The Certificate is also valuable in that it reveals to us for the
first time the dedication of the building, in honour of St. Katherine,
a very interesting fact.
Within six months from the date of the Certificate, followed the
final alienation of the suppressed chantry, as evidenced by the Letters
Patent, dated 2 November, 23 Elizabeth, a.d. 1581, of which the
following are translated extracts : —
" The Queen, to all to whom &c greeting, Know ye that we, as well in con-
sideration of the good and faithful service upon us bestowed before this time by
our late very dear and faithful servant Peter Grey, deceased, as for other good

for the maintenance of an obit or anniversary or for the susteutation of a priest

other Kentish lands, proceeds : —

These records not only reveal the true dedication, but also con-
firm the ecclesiastical status of the chapel as a chantry, and thus
legally warrant and verify its civil suppression and dissolution, and
they inform us of the true date and circumstances of its sale and

tin.' Eorm of malting-nouse, stables, and cowhouse) lill the period of
its re-sale and projected restoration in .\.n. L890, a cold shade of
aeglecl of about 309 years' duration.
Unfortunately such records convey no information as to the
founder or as to the period and circumstances of the foundation.
The stone coffin mentioned by Thorpe was dug up immediately
to the cast of the chancel cud of the chapel, bul no remains of it
can now be traced. In the interior I have made no excavation,
being generally averse to any disturbance of human remains \>y
way of speculative exploration, should any have been laid to rest
within the walls.

ON THE PARISH CLERKS AND SEXTON OF
EAVERSHAM, A.D. 1506—1593.
BY F. F. GIRAUD, TOWN CLERK OF FAVERSIIAM.
Abbreviated copies of Documents Nos. 1 and 2 are contained in
Jacob's History of Fewer sham (177-1). The date was misprinted by
him as 22 Henry VIII., instead of 22 Henry VII.
Complete copies, which have been carefully compared with the
original entries in the Wardmote Book of the Corporation of Favers-
ham, are now given.
The "Articles" were enacted by the Mayor, Jurats, and Commons
of Faversham, assembled in Wardmote, within whose civil juris-
diction the parish church was situate.
It appears by these regulations that the clerks acted as " servers "
at the mass, and also as " Eectores Chori " or " Cantors," in which
capacity they probably wore the copes of green bawdekyn which are
mentioned in the Inventory printed in Archceologia Cantiana,
XVIII., 108. When the choir men or boys sang out of tune, the
clerks were to cease singing the " faux bourdon " or harmony, and
to take up the " plain song " or melody until the choir got out of
difficulty.
They also had to attend to much of the cleaning of the church,
which afterwards devolved on the sexton, and they or their deputy
slept in the steeple, helped the sexton to ring, and each Sunday
carried holy water to every house.
The clerks' duties also included that of teaching children to read
and sing in choir, and the instruction probably embraced that which, on
the foundation of the Grammar School in 1527, was required of every
child previous to admission thereto ; namely, to say and read matins,
evensong, vn psalms, Latin dirige, and Commendations.
The sexton or his deputy was also every night to sleep in the
steeple. The mode of ringing curfew, nones, matins, masses, even-
song, etc., was defined, and he was directed as to opening the church,
lighting the lamps, tapers, and large candles, filling the holy water
stoups, cleaning the church, and guarding the churchyard.
These Articles do not appear to have been expressly repealed,
but probably such customs as were repugnant to the letter or spirit
of the new Book of Common Prayer ceased gradually to be observed.
A succession of two clerks (as will be seen by Document No. 3)
was continued until 1548, when the number was reduced to one.
As long as two remained it is probable that they made as few
alterations as possible in the routine of their duties, and were glad
by a continuance of them to justify the payment of their accustomed

TROTTESCLTFFE CHURCH.
BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON.
Tbottescltffe, or Trottesclyve, Manor was given to the See of
Rochester by Off a, King of Mercia, in a.d. 78K. Probably a small
church was built here soon after that date.
The existing chancel was probably built by Grundulf, who
was Bishop of Rochester from a.d. 1077 to 1108. The tower
seems to have been added, by Bishop Glanville, late in the twelfth
century, when perhaps the nave was rebuilt. The Decorated
windows were inserted by Bishop Hamo de Hethe.
As the Domesday Survey mentions a church here in or about
a.d. 1085-6, we may say with tolerable certainty that the walls of
this chancel are a little more than 800 years old. The church is
dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul.
We observe in the east wall, and in the north wall, very wide
joints between the separate stones of the masonry, and we notice
the regular straight courses in which those very irregularly shaped
stones are laid. Upon the south wall we cannot discern these
peculiar features of the ancient masonry, because a thick coating of
"roughcast" covers the whole wall. A similar coating covered the
east, and north walls also, until the present rector, the Rev. C. \V.
Shepherd, acting upon Sir (Jilhert Scott's advice, caused the rough-
cast to be removed from them. Thanks to Mr. Shepherd's action,
we can see also that an unusually large quantity of "tufa" or
"travertine" was used in these; walls. All the coigns (or angles
of the walls) are of tufa. The jambs and heads of the small Norman
windows are of tufa. The tapering wall of the east gable was capped
with tufa along the entire length of its top. At its apex we see
much tufa built into the outer face of the wall. Some or all of this
was originally used in capping the whole width of the tapering wall
of the gable ; but the masons who rebuilt the apex of the gable (when
the new east window was inserted) simply replaced the tufa upon the
outer face of the tapering wall, not throughout its entire thickness.
The plain flat appearance of the modern east window's sill and
jambs was caused by the necessity of cutting away their mouldings,
which were originally planned to fit the wall when it was faced with
roughcast. On the removal of the roughcast these mouldings
projected considerably beyond the surface of the ancient wall. So
the mouldings wen- cut away.
The Norman windows of the chancel are worthy of close examina-
tion. Two in the north wall are in their original state on the
exterior. There is no sill of ashlar to any <">f them. The small size
p 2
'2\2 TROTrESCLIFFB CIIURCIL.
of the masonry used is noteworthy. Generally five stones are used
in each Bhorl jamb, and their narrow round arched heads are turned
Bometimes with eight stones, sometimes with nine stones, and in one
case thirteen stones actually appear in the Little round arch of the
small window in the south wall. All these stones are of tufa,
which reseinhles grey sponge in appearance.
It is difficult to discover in Kent any example of the earliest
Norman walling and windows so well preserved and so unaltered as
these in the chancel of Trotteacliffe Church, thanks to the care of
Ihe rector, the Rev. C. W. Shepherd.
The tower, built against the middle of the nave's south wall,
retains very little trace of its early date. I believe that it was
built in the time of Gilbert de Grlanville, who was Bishop of Rochester
from 1185 to 1211. He rebuilt the episcopal manor house here,
about a.d. 1187. At that period several Kentish towers were erected
on the south side of the nave, as at Tong, Bapchild, Throwley,
Preston by Faversham, and at Trottescliffe.
The plan of the tower at base (according to measurements made
by the Rev. C. W. Shepherd) may be said to be externally 20 feet
square, and internally 12 feet square. The actual measurements
are exterior 20 feet 3 inches by 19 feet 9 inches, and interior 12 feet
1 inch by 11 feet 8 inches. The walls are 4 feet thick up to the
first course where they batter to 3 feet, and they lessen in thickness
as they rise higher.
From the tower we enter the nave through a doorway of the
Transition period (between Norman and Early English). West of
that doorway, higher up in the south wall of the nave and north
wall of the tower, is a pointed doorway, the sill of which is nearly on
a level with the apex of the entrance doorwray. B}r means of
wooden steps, or a ladder, access from the nave to the tower was
afforded by this doorway. The aperture through the wall of the
tower is roughly pierced, and contains no hewn stone.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries alterations were made
in the tower. Its exterior buttresses wrere added, probably, in
1509 when repairs were going on, towards the cost of which Alice
Deysey of Addington bequeathed a bullock.
A vestry is formed in the south-west angle of the tower, and in
the window of that vestry are two ancient quarries, or diamond
panes of glass. One bears the sacred monogram \\) g, and the other
a plain device conventional but somewhat floral.
The plan of the church as it now exists was thus formed and
completed, probably, before or very soon after a.d. 1200. For 690
years that plan has remained the same.
In the reign of Edward II., or in the early part of his son's reign,
Bishop Hamo de Hethe altered and improved the interior of the
church. In the north wall of the nave is a two-light window
inserted by him, which contains portions of good coloured glass ;
and on the south side of the chancel there is another similar window
of the Decorated period. A piscina niche of that style likewise
remains in the south wall.
TROTTESCLIFFE CHURCH,
FROM THE SOUTH.
TROTTESCLIFFE CHURCH. 213
As the resilience of Ilamo de Hethe and later Bishops of
Rochester, in their manor house here, greatly affected this church
during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, it may be well to
dwell upon this for a few minutes. At Trottesclyve and Hailing
were manor houses of the Mediaeval Bishops of Rochester. Hailing
Manor with its hamlet was worth £38 per annum, and Trottescliff
£15, in 13G0. Hamo de Hethe, Bishop of Rochester (1319-52),
was as much attached to Trottesclyve as an occasional residence, as
he was to Hailing as his more permanent dwelling-place. In 1330,
when Archbishop Mepham visited the diocese of Rochester, as Metro-
politan, the local authorities at Rochester and Strood complained
bitterly that their Bishop loved to remain at Hailing and Trottesclyve,
not visiting the rest of his diocese as he was expected to do. The
animus of the complaint is betrayed by their concluding remark that
his mode of episcopal life " injures S* Andrew's Priory at Rochester
and ruins Strood Hospital." He was at Trottesclyve in 1320, on
22 November.
Here, at Trottesclyve, the Bishop made use both of his own
private chapel in the manor house and of this parish church.
For example he held ordinations in this church on the 2nd of
March 1324-5, when he ordained, to Deacon's Orders, Roger Digge,
rector of Cukkelestane (Cuxton), who had been instituted to that
rectory (but without full corporal possession thereof) on the 12th of
December 1324.* The Bishop had spent his Christmas at HalliiiLr,
and came hither in the spring. He held another ordination in this
church on the 11th of April 1327.
Here also was held a court of enquiry, respecting the non-
residence of the rector of Mereworth, in May 1340.
Nor was Bishop Hamo exceptional among the Bishops of Roches-
ter in his use of this church. Nearly a century later, Bishop John
Langdon summoned Thomas Halle of Rochester to appear before
him in this church, and he did apj)ear here on the 25th of Sep-
tember 1425, to clear himself from a charge of heretical teaching
against veneration of images, against pilgrimages to holy relics, and
similar doctrines. Sixteen sureties appeared as his compurgators,
and the Bishop charged him not only to abjure all such doctrines,
but to give information as to any who used or read English books
teaching such heresies as he was accused of. Evidently Thomas
Halle was a century in advance of his age ; and we to-day recognise
that within the walls of this church one of the early English
Reformers was tried for teaching doctrines which are now accepted
by the Established Church of England.
Later still, in 1439-40, Bishop William Wells ordained in this
parish church four Acolites aud one Sub-deacon. The person who
was here ordained Sub-deacon on that day, February 19th, 1439-40,
was the rector of this parish, Marmaduke Skelton, who as an Acolite
had been instituted to the benefice on the 30th of September 1439
* He received nil the minor orders on the 16th of December 1321; was
ordained Sub-deacon on the 22ud of that month ; became Deacon ou the 2nd of

— nearly five months before he became :i Sub-deacon. lie was
ordained Deacon three weeks afterwards in Town Mailing parish
church (on March 111, L 439-40). By mediaeval church law a man
could nut he ordained Sub-deacon until he was twenty -one years old ;
nor Deacon until some years alter that.
[n the manor-house chapel more of the episcopal transactions
took plare than were accomplished in Trottesclyve parish church.
For instance, we read in Bishop llamo de Hethe's Register (folio
174b), thai on the L6th of May L339 the Bishop himself celebrated
]\hiss in his chapel, and then admitted to Holy Orders, as an Acolite,
Robert de Brundissch, who had been instituted, to the rectory of
Wolewych (Woolwich) nine days before.
Another class of business done generally in the manor chapel,
when any Bishop of Rochester was at TrottesclifEe, was the instil u1 ion
to benefices. For example Bishop John de Shepey, in the manor
chapel ou the 11th of April 1354, admitted, to the rectory of North
Creye, John de Tychemersh, who was presented to that benefice
by Sir Robert de Northwode (Shepey e's Keg., 2uTb).
On the 21st of December 1353, Bishop Shepey held an ordination
in Trottesclyve manor chapel, when four youths received their
"First Tonsure" (Register, folio 260b). From the date of this
ordination we may infer that Bishop Shepey kept his Christmas at
Trottesclyve in 1353.
The rector of u Trosclyff " had to pay to Mailing Abbey ten
shillings per annum out of the tithes. (See Dugdale's Munuaticon,
iii., 381.)
From "Wharton's Anglia Sacra we learn that Bishop Hamo
de Hethe celebrated the Eastertide of 1322 at " Trottyscliff," and
built there a new bakehouse and cowhouse or barton at a cost of £25.
Summer and Whitsuntide were also spent here, because the hall of
the manor house at Hailing was being rebuilt. The Christmas of
1325 was spent here also. In 1327, during the second week in
Lent, as the young King, Edward III., and his mother traversed
Rochester diocese on their journey to Canterbury, they were met
and welcomed by Bishop llamo, wrho presented to the Queen two
basins of silver worth £20 ; and then he returned at once to Trottes-
cliffe. In 1328 and 1329 he spent twelve months at this place,
arriving after the Feast of the Purification. This long period of
residence he occupied with directing the erection of high walls
around his court here, and also with rebuilding the Bishop's
chamber, a kitchen, and a chamber for his clerical household. In
1333, Bishop llamo spent all the autumn at Trottesclifie, whence he
went to Mayfield to console Archbishop Mepham in his sadness ;
returning again to Trottescliffe. In that year, to the disgust of the
Rochester monks, he celebrated the Feast of their Patron, Saint
Andrew, at Trottescliffe, and yet received the exennium or provision
which (they said) was only payable when he celebrated St. Andrew's
Feast at Rochester. In 1310 he dwelt much at Hailing and Trottes-
cliffe. Two years later he spent twelve months here (in 1312), when
he caused the church to be repaired, as well as his own dining hall and
TROTTESCLIFFE CHURCH. 215
dormitory. In the year of the " black death " (13 18) he was much
at Hailing and Trotteseliffe, yet he lost thirty-two members of his
household, who died of that terrible pestilence. During 24 Edward
III. (1350) he was all the year at Trotteseliffe, being old and
decrepit. Within two years he died.
The coloured glass in Hamo de Hethe's nave window is worthy
of close attention. It has all been well cleaned and refixed, by Ward
and Hughes of London. In the heads of the two lights are elaborate
canopies, well designed and well executed.
Above, in the apex of the window, is a Mediaeval design which
must be almost unique in a parish church. It represents the Holy
Trinity. Contrary to Scriptural teaching, and to the orthodox
teaching of the Church, God the Father (whom no man hath seen
at any time) is represented as a man. The whole doctrine of the
Incarnation of our Blessed Lord is evacuated of meaning by such a
representation. Upon the knees of the old man, who is irreverently
made to represent the Divine Person of God the Father, is a crucifix,
to represent the sacrifice made by God the Son, over whose head
appears the Sacred Dove, as the symbol of the third Person of the
Blessed Trinity, the Holy Ghost breathed forth by God the Father.
The sun, moon, and stars are represented as accessory details.
As to the mediaeval furniture of the church, the wills of old
parishioners, searched by the Rev. T. S. Frampton, afford a few
hints.
In 1451, an image of the Virgin Mary stood in this church, with
a light burning before it, and towards the maintenance of this
light Richard Rowse left a cow worth 8s. In 1455, Rica Chaunceler
bequeathed 6cl. to this light, as did John Clyterowe in 1163, and
John Tenaker in 1166. The sum of 8d. was bequeathed to it in
1470 by Wm. William. At a later date, in 1532, we find St. James
coupled with St. Mary. Wm. Wolleryge then bequeathed one of his
best kine to the light of our Lady and St. James.
Before the Great Crucifix or Rood, a light was burned which
several testators remembered in their wills.
An image of St. Christopher was set up here, and also an image
of St. Nicholas ; and before each of these images tapers were kept
burning, by the money bequeathed by testators, and by the gifts of
the living.
Gifts for maintaining these lights or lamps in Trotteseliffe
church were not confined to pence and cattle. Land was left for
their maintenance also. Thorpe, in his Custumale Roffense, p. 38,
extracted from the Registers of Presentments made at Visitations,
mentions two garden plots (occupied by Mary Wade, widow)
which were given to endow two lamps here, one to burn in the nave
and the other in the chancel. He also mentions "another parcell of
ground to find a lampe in the seyd chirche."
The monumental brass in front of the communion rails com-
memorates William Crofton and Margery his wife.* He seems to

her lifetime. It runs thus: — "Hicjacet WilPm8 Crofton Generos8 bacallaur9

have been a lawyer of Gray's Inn. and a graduate B.C.L., who
owned laud in Trottescliffe. Ee died on the L8th of March 1 W3-4,
and bequeathed to this church a silver gill chalice and two silver
cruel s.
The existing Communion cup was made in 1576. A paten upon
a fool, made in L 699, was presented by the Rev. Paul Baristoweand
Ann his wife. Mr. Baristowo had heen curate in charge of Trottes-
cliffe, and here were buried hotli he (in L715-16) and Ids wife (in
1705), but he was vicar of Qraine in the Hundred of Hoo (Feb.
1688-9—1710).
The silver alms-dish, now in use, was presented September 11th
1S21 by the Rev. Dr. W. Crawford, rector. During his Incumbency
the church was repaired, ami in October L824 thepulpil from West-
minster A.bbey was presented by .lames Seager, Esq. (a London
distiller). Its sounding-board is a handsome piece of inlaid wood-
work, supported by a slight pillar of wdute wood, which is intended
to represent a palm-tree.
In 1844; some restorations were effected here by the curate in
charge, Mr. Wigan, but unhappily one of the southern Norman
window's was then entirely renewed.
The present rector, the Rev. C. W. Shepherd, has expended
large sums of money in draining and repairing the church. He spent
£800 upon that excellent example of cut flint work, the west wall,
which he rebuilt. The black flints used therein came from the
"Wrotham chalk pits, most of the rest are from the Northfleet pits.
The size of the squared flints diminishes as the courses rise, until
those in the apex are quite small. The cross in the apex is of blue
stones.
The east window was inserted in 1875 by the present rector, in
memory of his father. The west window was filled with stained
glass in 1885. Its cost, £148, was defrayed from the proceeds of
crewel embroidery done by girls in the parochial school. The artists
were Ward and Hughes.
The little north window was filled with coloured glass in memory
of the Queen's Jubilee.
In the two-light window, close to the entrance door, of one light
(that to the east) the history is very singular. It formerly stood
in Luddesdown church, of which Mr. Shepherd, senior, was rector.
AVhen that church was restored the light, was sent here, but it was
too narrow to fill the place where it now stands. The manufacturers
therefore added a second border all round, and thus made it wide
enough for the window here. It commemorates a brother of the
present rector. Since it was sent here, another light has been filled
in, to the memory of the late rector's mother.
The only bell in the tower is of good size, 31 inches in diameter,
and was made by William Hatch in 1639.
In the churchyard (near the south-east angle of the chancel) is

an early altar-tomb commemorating James Atwode, who died in
May L600. The parish registers are in very good condition, from 1510
onward, but lack the entries between 1550 and 1560. The Eliza-
bethan transcripts were made upon parchment about 1599, by one
William Wardropper (or Wardroppe), who states that he was some-
time (aliquando) master of the school in this parish.
In one entry a baptism is said to have taken place on the day on
which King Charles was beheaded. The present rector has fully
indexed the whole of the parish registers in a very clear and able
way-
The oldest register contains memoranda of the sums collected in
Trottescliffe upon four Briefs, during the years 1658 and 1059.
Such entries are very unusual for those years. One of the Briefs
is stated to have been issued by the Lord Fairfax.

FAVERSHAM.
Regulations for the Town Porters, 1448.
BY F. F. GIRAUH, TOWN CLERK.
Few of the Faversham records of the reign of Henry VI. still
remain. Some disconnected sheets of proceedings at Wardmotes
are bound in a volume, containing accounts and miscellaneous docu-
ments between the years 1448 and 1606, from which the following
regulations are extracted. The Brewers appear to have taken a
very prominent position iu the town. The powers of punishment
claimed by the Mayor are worthy of notice.

* John Seyncler was Mayor of Faversham in 1443 and 1448. He was pro-
bably a member of the family of St. Clere, who held the manor and seat of
Aldham St. Clere in Ighthain from the reign of Edward II. to that of
Henry VII.
Sir Philip St. Clere of Ightham, in right of his wife Margaret, possessed the
Manor of Ospringe next Faversliam, which descended to his son Thomas St.
Clere, who left an only daughter and heiress Eleanor in 12 Edward IV., who
married Sir John Gage, Knt.
Sir Philip St. Clere had another son John, to whom descended the Manor of
Penshurst and estates at Lyghe, which he sold to John, Puke of Bedford.
Pardon under the Great Seal, 7 July, 28 Henry VI. (1450), was granted to
John Seyncler of Faversham, " Esquire," and others therein named, and all
others of Faversham concerned in John Mortyiner's (Cade's) rebellion. Cade was
slain four days after the date of this pardon.
Thomas Seyncler was owner of a garden in Faversham (Fine, 11 November,

EXTRACTS FROM THE ACCOUNT BOOKS
OF CAPTAIN JOHN HARVEY, R.N.,
MAYOR OF SANDWICH 1774-5.
BY THOMAS DORMAN.
The following accounts are extracted from papers in the possession
of John James Harvey, Esq., of Woodlands, through whose kind
permission I have been allowed to make this copy. They detail the
expenses incurred by his great-grandfather Captain J. Harvey, R..V,
on being elected first a Jurat, and subsequently Mayor of Sandwich,
upwards of a century ago. Captain Harvey commanded the
Brunswick on the glorious 1st of June 1794, and died on the 30th
of the same month from wounds received in the battle, to the success
of which he so materially contributed.
The accounts are very interesting, as they not only give the
prices of various articles of consumption at that date, but they
enable us to form some idea of the proceedings upon such occasions.
Captain Harvey was so precise in his accounts that he first charges
himself with the value of the presents he received from his friends,
and afterwards deducts it to shew the actual net cost, while his
thrift is disclosed in the alteration of Mr. Wise's Jurat's gown
to fit the new wearer.
The tenders (attendants) on the newly-elected Jurat or Mayor;
the band, consisting on the first occasion of four fiddles and two
drummers ;* the women at sixpence a head strewing herbs in the
path of the newly elected ; the ribbon for cockades ; the colourmen
(men bearing flags) ; the freemen paid for their votes, even when
absent from home ; and the winding up with a grand smash of
broken windows, glasses, pots, and punch ladles, form altogether a
vivid Hogarthian picture of the proceedings.
The treats on election-day appear to have been given at some
Inn, as there is a charge in the Mayor's account of £1 Is. for
" use of the house where I gave the treat." But the dinners seem
to have been held at the Mayor's private house, as there are only
charges for bringing and carrying home the tables, etc., and
gratuities to the servants of the Mayor's friends for " dressing the
victuals."
There is no mention of the number of guests for whom the two
dinners, given by the Mayor, were provided. As the dinner, given
* May we suggest that from the use of such bands as these the old saying is
derived, " that is all fiddle and drum."
A SANDWICH JURAT'S DINNER, 1772. 223
on liis election as Jurat, to his brethren the Mayor and Jurats,
thirteen in all, cost about one-fourth of the expense of the two
later dinners, no doubt other friends and officials were also invited;
otherwise the allowance on the first occasion, of twenty-two
bottles of wine and twelve bottles of spirits, supposing the one
bottle of common brandy to be for the mince-meat, would appear to
be calculated on a most liberal scale, to say nothing of the three
gallons of porter and one gallon of Dorsetshire ale.
The various items give a good idea of the menu for a Corporation
Banquet in Sandwich at that period, but I should like to point out
that our ancestors appear to have anticipated the modern custom of
commencing a dinner with oysters, as there were two gallons pro-
vided upon each occasion, costing with carriage only 3*. lid. in
all, and it should be noted also that the vegetables are conspicuous
by their absence, only lOd. being allowed for greens, etc., on the
first occasion and 5d. on the second.

SANDGATE CASTLE, a.d. 1539-40.
BY WILLIAM LOFTIE RUTTON, F.S.A.
Among the Harleian Manuscripts at the British Museum happily
survives the "Ledger" kept during the building of this fort or
castle, one of several constructed by Henry VIII. for the defence
of the southern coast. In it are found full particulars of the ex-
penditure : — the cost of materials, and the sources from which they
were derived; the wages of artisans and labourers, and the manner
in which the money for their monthly pay was procured and
brought to them at Sandgate ; the names and remuneration of the
officers ; and the mention of parts and details of the building no
longer existing.
The ledger consists of two folio volumes, numbered respectively
1647 and 1651 in the Harleian collection. "When the Index to
these MSS. was printed in 1808, the twin volumes seem to have
been in their original vellum covers, on which their titles in black
letter were inscribed. Afterwards, however, the original covers
were replaced by flimsy marble-papered " boards " with weak leather
backs, and on the fly-leaves were pasted (to the detriment of the
lettering which, apparently from the moisture, has been in part
rendered illegible) the portion of the vellum inscribed with the titles.
These run thus : On the first volume, " The Forst, the iido, iiido, iiiith,
vth, vi"1, viith, viii"1, and the ixth boke of the leger of the workes of the
Ki/nges Castell at Sandgate in the tyme of Thorns Cockes and Rychard
Keys Esquyers Comyshoners there'''' \_etc. now illegible] ; and on the
second volume, " The xth, the xi'1', xiith, xiiilh, xiiiith, xvth, xvilh, xvii,h,
xviii"', and the xixth boke of the leeger of the workes of the Kynges
Castell e of Sandgate in Kent in the tyme of Reynold Scott Esquyer
beyng snrveyour thereof and Richard Keys Esqnyer then beyng sole
Paymaster of the said Workes."
The two volumes together contain about 350 carefully written
pages, and the clerk, Thomas Busshe, has embellished his pages with
wonderfully elaborated initials, often showing considerable skill.
Foliated scrollwork is the usual ornament, and in it human faces
more or less grotesque are occasionally introduced ; one clever
sketch, for instance, portrays an elderly goodwife wearing the
head-dress proper to the Tudor times of the draughtsman.
The arithmetic of the ledger, which is that of the time, is
clumsy and inconvenient. The ".Roman numerals are used through-
out, the impracticability of the system being very apparent when
addition is required ; for instead of the orderly columns of units,
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1539-40. 229
tens, and hundreds to which we are accustomed, we have unequal
files of numerals ; eight letters stand for 88, and two for 90.
Addition thus becomes intolerable. The summa pagince — " Sm.
Pagin " — at the foot of each page, is neither carried forward
nor added to the sum of the next page, nor are the sums
of the pages ever brought together and their total shown. On
the last page of each month's account is found : " Sum of all this
whole book of the th pay ;" to check which an auditor would
have to gather together the sums of the pages and make the addition.
Such a system of course conduces to error and facilitates fraud,
but in this case, although I found occasional errors, and could not
always make my addition agree with that of the clerk, the difference
between us finally is but slight. One other difficulty to the un-
initiated must be noticed, viz., such complications as " xiixxxvi li."
for 12 score and 16 lbs. (=256 lbs.), or " xxvii li. and di. at \yl.
oJ.," for 27-^ lbs. at 2\d. Throughout the two volumes, the Arabic
numerals now universally used are found but once, viz., in the year
date of an " empcion," or purchase, in the fifth month, " xn daye
of Septembre An0 1539."
Having carefully examined the accounts, I have classified the
information they afford, hoping thus to present it to my readers in
the most convenient and intelligible form. But before giving atten-
tion to the building of the Castle a few lines are, I think, demanded
relative to antecedents at Sandgate.
Hasted, as evidence of the existence of a castle preceding that
built by Henry VIII., quotes a writ of Eichard II. (Rymer's
Foedera, ed. 1709, viii., 49) directing the Captain of Sandgate
Castle to admit Henry of Lancaster, Duke of Hereford (afterwards
Henry IV.), then banished the realm, there to tarry with his family
for six weeks. This writ, however, is accompanied and immediately
preceded by another of same date (3 October 1398) and of like
tenor, directed to the Captain of Calais, and considering the fact of
there being a castle at Sangatte (in English documents written
Sandgate) about nine miles from Calais on the French coast and
within the English pale, the identity of date of the writs, and the
improbability that the King when banishing his dangerous cousin
should permit him to tarry six weeks on the Kentish coast, we can
scarcely doubt that the Erench Saugatte was implied. This writ, of
which the purport has been misunderstood, is the sole basis of belief
in a mediaeval castle at Sandgate in Kent. But although dismissing
as an error the existence of a castle prior to that which now con-
ceims us, it is clear from the evidence adduced in the Archceologia
(iii., 21-1), and in Philipot's Villare Cantianum, that from the
earliest times the " gate " from the shore through the Kentish
cliffs into the country had been the object of daily and nightly
watch and ward ; yet no stronghold or watchtower is mentioned,
nor in the record before us of the building of Henry VIII. 's Castle
is there any mention of old foundations or old material ; on the
contrary, without any such mention, we arc clearly informed of the
founding of the new structure.
230 SANDGATE CASTLE, A.I). 1539-40.
The object of lli-nrv VIII. in erecting castles and bulwarks
along the coaBl is thus quaintly given by Lambarde in bis Perambu-
lation of Kent (1570): "Of this I bold me well assured, that
King Henry VIII. having shaken off the intolerable yoke of the
Popish tyranny, and espying that the Emperor was offended by
the divorce of Queen Kathorine his wife, and that the French King
had coupled the Dolphine his son to the Pope's niece, and married
his daughter to the King of Scots, so that he mighl more justly
suspect them all than safely trust any one, determined (by the aid of
Q-oa) to stand upon his own guard and defence; and without sparing
any cost lie builded castles, platforms, and blockhouses in all needful
places of the Realm. And amongst other, fearing least the ease and ad-
vantage of descending on land at this part [Deal] should give occasion
or hardiness to the enemies to invade him, he erected near together
three fortifications which might at all times keep* and beat [sic] the
landing-place, that is to say, Sandow.n, Deal, and W aimer."
Let us now learn from the ledger what it has to tell concerning
the building of the Castle at Sandgate. In quoting the accounts I
shall not always follow the spelling, as to do so would, I think,
scarcely be to the reader's convenience ; for, denned orthography
not having then been reached, the clerk apparently wrote as seemed
good to him at the moment, among many variations sometimes even
giving to the wrord the form it now wears. The diction, however,
will be preserved, with many examples of the old spelling.
Commencement and Progress of the Work. — The second leaf of
the first volume of the ledger is inscribed : " The building of the
King's Castle of Sangate [sic] from Sunday, the 30th day of
March, unto Sunday, the 27th day of April, by the space of one
month ;" and on the reverse page : " Anno 30° & 31° Regni Regis
Henrici Octavi." The Sundays though named are not, I think,
included in the working month ; the masons, however, are each
month described as " labouring their holy days and vigils," but
there seems to have been general exemption from labour on Sundays,
although certain overseers and clerks were paid for the week of
seven days.
The first page of the account for each month is headed in this
manner : " Payments made and paid for Our Sovereign Lord the
King's Grace, for his building there done of and by Master Thomas
Cocks and Richard Keys, Commissioners of the said building, as
well for all manner of empcions [purchases] necessary, and carriages,
as also wages to all manner of artificers and labourers, purveyors,
clerks, and overseers, that is to say, from Sunday, the 30th day of
March, unto Sunday, the 27th day of April, by the space of one
month." The masons of course come first in the lists, and the de-
scription of their employment during the first month indicates the
commencement of the Castle from its foundations. They are scap-
pling, ?'.«?. roughly shaping the stone, and " laying it for the founda-
tion and building of the foresaid Castle." The same indication
appears in the work of the " scapplemen and rockbreakers," they
are " digging and casting beach from the foundation of the Castle,
SANDGATE CASTLE, A. 13. 1539-10. 231
breaking rocks, carrying them from the sea, and loading earth and
stone." There is nothing to suggest that any old foundations were
dealt with.
Here it may be well to notice the belief common at Sandgate
that the Castle was built on a platform of timber resting on piles.
This conjecture had its origin in the exposure of piles some years
since, when, by the action of the sea, the southern section of
the wall had been undermined and greatly damaged. As far as
shown by excavations for sewers, etc., nothing but beach is to
be met within a considerable depth ; " digging and casting of beach
from the foundation of the Castle" is described as one of the first
operations towards its erection, and this " casting of beach " is
found in the accounts onward to the twelfth month. The ledger
has no mention of pile driving, or of carpenters employed on a
timber sub-structure ; indeed, during the first month four car-
penters only are on the list, and their work is described as
making barrows, hods, etc., and helving tools ; in the second month
no carpenters appear to have worked at the Castle ; and not
before the third month did they muster strongly, when 22 are
returned in the account as, in addition to making necessary plant,
framing timber (which I suppose to imply floors, roofs, doors, win-
dows, etc.), and erecting a forge. I am inclined to think that
the discovered piles had been driven for the defence of the walls in
years subsequent to the building of the Castle, and after one of the
many occasions when they had been injured by the sea, the assaults
of which would no doubt have been more ably resisted had the
foundations been originally laid securely at a greater depth.
During the first month the total number of men receiving pay
was 255 ; of these, 102 were masons building or getting stone ; 4
were carpenters making the plant, viz., barrows of all kinds, hods,
mortar bosses and tubs, and helving tools ; 4 sawyers ; 17 lime-
burners ; 28 wood-fellers ; and the remainder, with 12 overseers
and clerks, were carters of materials. The amount of the first pay
was £130 8s. lQ^d., which, at the present time to appreciate, we
may perhaps multiply by nine.
The number of men was doubled in the second month, and
their augmentation continued up to the sixth month — that ending
14th September — when the accounts show that 843 men were em-
ployed, and £469 19s. Of d. was spent ; this being the highest
monthly pay in 1539. In regard to the number of men it must not
be understood that the 843 worked the whole month through ; many
were employed for only a part of the time, and the work of the
carters was especially intermittent. Thus, for this month we should
take 500 as about the average number working daily at the Castle
or near at hand, and to this add an intermittent number of carters,
chiefly of timber, the average of which cannot without a very trouble-
some calculation be ascertained. The 500 may thus be classified :
Masons and stonegetters, 74 ; bricklayers, 103 ; carpenters and saw-
yers, 51; plumbers, 5; lime-burners, 16; labourers, 216; caiters of
stone from the quarry, 21 ; overseers and clerks, 14. After the
232 SANDGATE CASTLE, A.I). 1539-40.
sixth month, and as the winter approached, the men decreased in
number, until in the ninth month, ending 7th December, there were
lmt L08 men on the list, the sum <>t' the pay being 657 Is. Wd.
The tenth month then commenced, lmt was cut short on the 20th
December, from which day there were Christmas holidays for three
weeks, during which all work was suspended, three men oiilv being
left to keep watch and ward over the rising Castle, the materials and
stores.
At this halting place, it is convenient to mention what is
gathered touching the workmen's lodgings. Were there houses at
Sandgate before the building of the Castle ? We hear of one only.
In the accounts for the thirteenth month (not yet reached) there is
mention of 20s. paid as a year's farm of a house hired of one AVilliam
Jenkyn "to keep the King's money, and as a place to pay it out
again;" also in the nineteenth and last month half a year's rent is
paid for " the King's Pay House." In the valuable " Plan of Sand-
gate Castle and parts adjacent," made in 1725 (one of a very interest-
ing Kentish collection. Brit. Mus., King's Library, xvin., 48),
there appears only one house with two or three outbuildings at-
tached, close to the Castle on the Hythe side. Possibly this house,
or one standing in 1539 on the same site, may have been that used
as the King's pay house. Mr. Fynmore of Sandgate, to whom I am
much indebted tor information, thinks the Fleur de Lis public-
house may yet represent it. Nichols, the writer of the Royal
Progresses, 1788, says that as lately as 1775 there were only two
houses beside the fort, and with this evidence and that of the 1725
plan we may safely conclude that in 1539 no existing buildings
were found to shelter the workmen. They would therefore have
had to find lodging at Folkestone or Hythe, respectively two and
three miles distant ; but some temporary provision was made lor
them near their work, for we have mention in the first month of
" hales," or tents, and a " pavilion ;" the entries are so interesting
that they must be fully given : —
" For carriages and mending of two hales and a pavilion from
London to Sandgate, and for the reparacions of the same : Paid to
the Sergeant of the Tents for the mending of two hales and a
pavilion, 14s. Paid for three baskets to carry the stakes and other
stuff from the said place, 15d. Paid for carriage of hales and
pavilion wth. the timber from the Sergeant's house to the ship at
London, 20d. Paid for carriage of hales and pavilion from London
to Sandgate, 7s. Paid for bringing a land [by land] of the said
hales and pavilion from Dover to Folkestone, 2s. 4d. Paid for 10
ells of canvas for mending of the pavilion, price of ell od., 4s. 2d.
Paid more for 7 ells of canvas for reparacions of the said hales at
5d. the ell, 2s. 6d." Afterwards other repairs of the canvas appear
in the accounts, and in addition to the tents a " lodge " was built at
the quarry, the men occupying it being called " lodge men." We
read also of the inn (hoops for the "inne," and a new bolt for the
"iyn," in the eighth and eleventh months), and as the word had
then a wider meaning than now, it was probably applied to the
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1539-40. 233
lodge or some other temporary erection. In the second month were
purchased " rushes for the hale," as bedding perhaps, and early in
December, as the winter drew on, there is the cost of thatching
with broom " the house at the quarry."
The Work resumed and finished 1540. — The building of the
Castle had been suspended on the eve of St. Thomas the Apostle
(20 December 1539), and it was resumed on the 12th January 1510.
A change of administration was then made, or rather this seems to
have had effect during the tenth month, which comprised the four-
teen days of December before the holidays, and fourteen days of
January ending on the 25th. Thomas Cockes disappears as Com-
missioner, and his late colleague, Richard Keys, is associated in the
Commission, as Paymaster, with Remold Scott, Esq., who has now
the chief charge as "Surveyor" or "Comptroller." Reinold or
Reginald Scott was of Scott's Hall in Smeeth; on the completion
of the Castle, or perhaps a little earlier, he was knighted, and in the
next year, 1541, he became Sheriff of Kent.
During the midwinter month, December-January, of course
little work could be done ; 5 masons were employed in preparing
stone, 7 carpenters or sawyers were kept at work, and 14
labourers were employed in the quarry; only £16 Is. 4rf. was spent.
The accounts of the next month show an increase in the number of
men, but they made only short time ; in the twelfth month, ending
March 21, there was further advance, and the labour and expen-
diture increased until midsummer was reached. The fifteenth
month, ending June 12, showed the largest pay-sheet; 900 men had
been employed, and £518 spent. Deducting from the total of 900
for intermittent labour, the daily average was about 630 men ;
masons of various classes employed either on the building or in the
quarry numbered 1S9 ; of carpenters and sawyers there were 66 ;
lime-burners, 13 ; labourers, 319 ; carters of stone from the quarry,
36; overseers and clerks, 7. This was a strong force to be employed
on a building of such moderate size, and consequently the advance
was rapid. After midsummer the numbers decrease, and in the
accounts of each month onwards the approach to completion is
more and more evident.
In the seventeenth month preparation was made for crowning
the edifice, the vanes appear, eight of them figure in the account
at 5s. apiece, and " the great vane " cost 10s. ; painting and
gilding are provided for ; the " go-jons " {gudgeons) for the draw-
bridge are prepared ; the lantern is being completed ; 13s. 4</., a
large price, is paid for the lock of " the utter gate ;" and the guns are
fixed. In the eighteenth month, in addition to paviors, plumbers-,
and calkers, who were at work in the previous month, we have
now the painters ; and the heading of the nineteenth and last month's
account thus refers to the completion of the building: " Payments
made fully by Richard Keys, Esquire, Paymaster of the King's
works of his Castle of Sandgate in the county of Kent, in the
presence and by the surveying and oversight of Reynold Scott,
Esquire, surveyor of the books of the said work, for the finishing,

mending, and making of an end of the same Castle. Thai lb to say
Eor making of certain doors, windows Eor the lantern, platforms of
timber and hoards, and for paving of three rooms hired l>\ great
[Jixed price]. Also certain hard lieu ers for to make holes for holts,
hooks, and bars for windows; also making of gutters with other
necessaries. Also certain Labourers to makeclean the countermures
and to bear out the rubbish. Also certain painters hired by the
day to paint places necessary for the said Castle, by the space of one
whole month, that is to say from the 5th day of September unto
the 2nd day of October."
AVe will now gather the information afforded by the ledger in
relation to each class of work executed.
The Stone. — Reference has already been made to the quarry ;
clearly it was near the Castle, though the exact position can scarcely
now he defined. On the plan of 1725, before referred to, two
quarries are marked, one of them GOO yards from the Castle towards
Hythe, the other 900 yards distant towards Folkestone ; they are
on the shore apparently at, low-water-mark, an awkward place
for getting stone. Yet that such was the position is indicated in
the accounts. In the first month " scapplemen and rockbreakers "
are " breaking the rocks and carrying them from the sen ; " in the
third month the " labourers pertaining to the rocks " are engaged
" in carrying of stone, not only in lading of carts but also wading
in the water for to lade the boats, giving attendance to the tides,
and waiting on the carts ;" and in the same account appears the
hire of boats " to carry stone into the King's Castle." The boats
seem to have been laden with the stone, and, as the tide rose, they
were floated to the building. Lyon's Hist, of Dover (1813), ii., 185,
mentions a certain fisherman named Young, who in 153G, a fewr years
earlier than the building of Sandgate Castle, was rewarded by the
King with a pension, for inventing a method of raising and trans-
porting stone by tide-floated boats. At Sandgate, however, the
boats do not seem to have answered, for they are mentioned in but
one account, afterwards carts only were used.
It is clearly evident from the accounts that "the quarry," often
mentioned, continued to be the hard limestone rocks by the seaside.
In the fourth and fifth months we find again the "labourers pertaining
to the rocks carrying of stone, lading of carts, and giving atten-
dance to the tides : " in the sixth month the beach is being cast, in
order probably to get at the rock beneath ; the same occurs in the
twelfth month, and in the thirteenth month's account the labourers
are still " working at the rocks, carrying up stone from the water
side for the edifying of the King's Castle." Thus throughout we
find certainly that the rough hard stone for the castle walls was
got from the rocks by the seaside, and though it cannot be said
that the quarry was either of those marked on a map made nearly
two centuries later, yet the plan of 1725 is evidence that in the
reign of George I. building material was obtained from a quarry
similarly situated to that used in the reign of Henry VIII.
But the Kentish shore did not provide all the material for the
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1530-40. 235
fort ; much of the stone was of foreign origin, and had come, three
centuries before, from that country against a possible attack from
which it might now serve. It was in fact second-hand, and came
to Sandgate from the Lately dismantled priories of St. Radegnnd,
Horton, and Christ Church, Canterbury ; in the ledger it is called
" cane stone," easily recognized as Caen stone. The total number
of loads thus obtained — the load being reckoned as a ton weight —
was 459, of which more than half, viz., 237, came from St. Badegunds,
90 from Horton, 32 from Canterbury, 33 from Hythe, 57 from
places in the Hundreds of Bircholt Franchise, Hayne, Stowting,
and Street, and 10 came by sea from Sandwich. At St. Badegunds
"the farmer" received for the stone 8d. a load ; at Horton nothing
was paid; at Canterbury the Prior of Christ Church twice received
4s. 8d. a ton, and afterwards " Mr. Byngham " had 3s., but it is not
said that the stone came from the same site ; Michael Carver of
Hythe was paid 5s. a ton for stone delivered at the Castle.
The Caen stone was doubtless used in the jambs, lintels, parapets,
and embrasures, and wherever the easily-worked freestone was
preferable to the obdurate " Kentish Bag." Two special purchases
of stone we find in the twelfth mouth, viz., six gravestones for the
covering of six doors, 20s. (the place whence they came is not
named), and a fair mantel stone for a chimney 10s.
The Jlifsons. — These are variously designated according to the
work in which they were engaged. The "freemasons" employed
in " barking " [knocking off the surfaee~\, shaping, and dressing the
freestone ; the hard-hewers (also called lodgemen from living in
the lodge built for them at the quarry) got, broke, and shaped
the hard limestone ; the scapplers roughly dressed the stone
with scappling hammers ; the layers or builders ; aud the setters,
Avho, from there being only two or three, I suppose to have had
the setting of the lines for the masonry, and the duty of keeping it
in proper form. Bobert Lynsted the warden or master-mason—
who signs each month's account — gets 10c/. a day; Nicholas Bychard,
the under-warden, and the setters, have 8d. a day ; the others are
paid by the week at 3s. 8cl., or by the day at 8d. and 7d. ; and there
were " prentices " at Gd. or 5d. a day ; all these could make extra
time at Id. or \d. an hour, but we do not discover the number of
hours reckoned in a day's work.
Masons found within a circuit of fourteen miles were not suf-
ficient ; they had to be brought from the distant " west country "
of Somersetshire and Gloucestershire. In the second month, 43
masons, there " pressed," received a bounty of 4s. a man, being Qd.
for every score of miles they had travelled to reach Sandgate ; in
the following month, June 1535), Thomas Busshe, Clerk of the
Ledger, travelling with the same object, enlisted 51 masons ; and
again in March 1540 a similar journey was made by Richard
Tayler, with the result of procuring 71 men in the West and 43
men nearer home. The itinerary is interesting and will be quoted
afterwards with the officers' expenses.
Bricks. — About 117,000 were conveyed to the Castle, the price
230 SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1539-10.
being generally 4». 1*/. per 1000; the cost of transport, 2d. per
mile per load of 500, was additional; the distance Bometimea
being, as from Wye, L3 miles. The largest number came from
Elham, and Clavertigh in Elham, 7 miles distant ; some came from
Canterbury and "Cnartaro Court beside Canterbury," reckoned
as 12 miles off; some were bought of "Mr. Hois of Denton;"
other loads came from Waldershare and " Tylnstone j" the Hundreds
of Stowting, Folkestone, Longbridge, and Hythe produced small
quantities ; and 7000 came by water from Bye.
Bricklayers. — Bricklayers were at work in the sixth month
(August— September), numbering 84, and 10 prentices ; but I
rather doubt whether bricklayers were not also masons ; there are
but 15 in the seventh month, 13 in the eighth, and none later.
Tiles.— 44,000 appear to have been used, all from the Hundred
of \Vye, except 6000 from that of Bircholt Barony ; the price was
4s. per thousand. Corner tiles at 13^. per hundred came from the
same places. In the last month 200 paving tiles were brought from
East Langdon beyond Dover, 10 miles distant.
Lime. — During the first two months the lime came from St.
Radegunds, wdiere a kiln had been made "to burn lime in, out of
the main chalk ;" fuel was obtained from the neighbouring woods,
and there is an account for 46 loads " pertaining to my Lord of
Canterbury at St. Radegunds." But apparently the distance to
Sandgate — six miles — was found too great, for this supply ceased
after the second month ; 166 loads of lime seem to have been
brought thence. In the meantime " the King's kiln at Swetton,"
his manor in Cheriton parish, had been made, and thence in future
came the chief supply of lime ; it produced, as nearly as I can as-
certain 949 loads, or rather more than half the quantity used ; its
distance from the rising Castle was between two and three miles.
The fuel was chiefly wood from Lyminge Park, Densall Minnis and
Densall Bushes, Swingfield Forstall, Poulton, Northcourt, Stockham
Bushes, Coppyns Bout, Terlingham, and Orgrove in the manor of
Folkestone, places for the most part still knowm. About 1200
loads of wood wei*e used in Swetton kiln, and about 54 tons of
coal ; generally 15 limeburners were employed, at 6d. or Id. a day.
Lime was also brought from kilns at Alkam, Swantou, Elham,
Postling, and places in the Hundreds of Hayne, Stowting, Bridge,
and Folkestone ; that at Folkestone is called " the limekiln above
[and at] St. Eanswith's Chapel," a position seemingly near the parish
church, but now difficult to identify. The total quantity of lime
used at Sandgate Castle was, as well as can be gathered from the
ledger, 1829 loads.
Coal or Sea Coal (" See Coole'1'') makes its appearance in the
second month (April — May 1539), and was brought to Hythe in two
ships " The Nycolas of Sou'olde" and " The John of Down withe ;"
Sonthwold and Dunwich are both ports on the Suffolk coast, but
the ships hailing thence must have got the coal elsewhere. Again,
in the next month, coal is bought of John Marcoll of Sowhold. The
total quantity unshipped at Hythe and thence brought by boats to
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.T). 1539-40. 237
Sandgate was 96 chaldrons. Tlie chaldron, a varying and therefore
ambiguous " dry-measure," is now at London taken to equal 25 V
cwt., and the result of my own investigation is to put it (for 15:}!))
at nearly 23 cwt. Thus the whole quantity purchased I calculate
to have been about 110 tons. From Hythe the coal was transported
by boats to Sandgate, and thence 51 tons were carted to the lime-
kiln at Swetton, while 5G tons were retained at Sandgate for the
use of the forge, etc. The price paid at Hythe was 6#. 8d. a chal-
dron = 5s. 10(7. a ton.
Timber. — This material has a special interest on account of the
many places named in connection with its supply ; it is surprising
to find that it was necessary to go so far for it, in some instances
even fourteen miles ; " the Weald " certainly was not nearer than
eight miles from Sandgate, but there wrere woods at less distance.
In the accounts there is mention of oak, ash, and elm ; of beech
we do not hear. The timber used in the building was as nearly as
I can gather 979 loads or tons, the ton or load being taken to
measure 50 cubic feet, as is yet the practice, and the bulk of it,
doubtless, was oak. The ash, of which I fiud 46 loads, appears
to have been used entirely for barrows and helves of tools ; it came
chiefly from Hurst and " Roclands " in the parish of Street. Of
elm in planks but little was used.
Some items of the timber supply, noting occasionally the cost,
follow ; the carriage was 2d. per mile per load :

a load, 2d. felling and Gd. carriage — were brought from "Sandlygs,"
probably Sandling, and " Brock Hill " 3 miles distant ; 16 loads
came from the Bishop of Canterbury's wood in the parish of Bra-
bourne, 7 miles, and 28 loads from Brabourne Pound ; 10s. for 6
loads from the Hundred of Bewsborough were paid to John
Lushyngton and one Home and Bobert Nethersole of Dover.
Wattles were made use of, but in what manner does not appear;
possibly in " wattle and dab " party- walls. Some of the entries
follow: Provisions made for " watls " at " Lyckwood Oke in
Ovyngstone Wood," 6 dozen there and 6 dozen in Bayls Wood. —
Paid to Andrew Joncok and Wllyam. Turroll of Elham for 10

3s. 4d. the acre. Sm. 6s. 8d. — About 120 dozen seem to have been
used, of which a third came from Raindean, carriage 4 miles.
Wainscot. — There is repeated mention of wainscot, written
" wenskotts " and " wayneskotts," etc. Thirty pieces are bought of
James a Court of Hothfield, and 200 pieces, costing £11 Qs. Sd.,
come from London by ship to Dover Wyck, and thence to Sandgate.
I find in all 258 pieces, costing with carriage £15 7s. Qd. ; the price
generally I4d. the piece, of which, however, I do not find the
measurement.
Carpenters. — The work of the carpenters is described as hewing
and squaring of timber, rearing building, framing of timber, making
of wheelbarrows, handbarrows, bosses [short troughs for mortar],
hods, and mortar tubs, helving mattocks, pickaxes, and hammers ;
and in the last month John Pallmer, the master-carpenter, who has
witnessed to the correctness of the accounts by signing every page
of them, takes work " by the great," i.e. at the fixed sum of £4
for the making of doors, windows, and other necessaries, and has
12s. besides for making a " portall." The carpenters were not in
force until the third month, when their number was 22, which
increased to 33 in the fifth ; the strongest muster was 40, with 10
apprentices, in the fifteenth, month ; their wage was 8d. and 7d.
per diem; Pallmer the master or warden had lOd. and Eichard
Smyth the under-warden, Qd. each day.
Sawyers vary in number from 8 to 20, their daily wage being
7d. They are mentioned in the third month's account as sawing
and cutting timber boards for the frames, and planks for the
stairs going up to the Castle walls, and for wheelbarrows, hods, etc.
Besides the sawstages at Sandgate there were others in Harlaken-
den's, Phillypps', and Hygh Fryght woods, where planks were sawn
before being carted to Sandgate.
Labourers. — These were engaged in digging and casting beach
or " prebylls," in carrying water and slacking lime, making mortar,
carrying it in bosses and stone in handbarrows to the masons, in
moving and carrying timber and assisting the sawyers and carpen-
ters, in working at the quarry and loading the carts there. Some
of the labourers at the quarry were called " sledgemen," their work
being to "break the rocks with great sledges, to rear the great stones
with iron crows," and in short to get the stone for the hardhewers
who prepared it for the masons. There were also " minders and
diggers of cleaves," whose occupation was to search out and follow
the clefts or fissures in the rocks, and "to dig out the myghthe "
or rubbish, so that the masses of stone might be got at. In the
description of the operations it is clearly evident how arduous was
240 SANDGATE CASTLE, A.l). 1539-10.
the labour of quarrying without gunpowder, which is not once men-
tioned in the accounts.
The best class of labourers, such as the sledgetnen and minders,
had Gr/. a day, the others 5d., and like the masons they were paid
for extra hours. The greatest number employed was 819 in the
fifteenth month (May — June 1540), of which number 117 worked
in the quarry.
Carts. — Unlike other words written variously throughout the
ledger, carts are uniformly " courts," an indication perhaps of local
pronunciation at the time. It is not clearly gathered of what the
ordinary cart and its team consisted ; for fiuding those working
between the Castle and the quarry indifferently termed " courts "
and " great courts," and reading in the first month's accounts of
" great courts with six beestis " bringing lime from St. Badegunds
(the only instance in which the team is defined), we ask if six oxen
formed the usual team of carts, or of exceptionally large carts only ?
As the recognized load, one ton, was not generally exceeded, I am
inclined to think, even mindful of rough roads or no roads, that a
pair of oxen would have sufficed for the ton load. Horses evidently
wrere used only for riding.
Every month during the progress of the work, a large number of
carts were hired to bring the stone from the quarry, and to convey
other materials. The greatest number was 110 in the fourteenth
month (April — May 1540), but these did not work all the four
weeks, a certain number worked and were then relieved, 40 being
the daily average. The carts were procured from all the country
round ; for instance in the thirteenth month they came from places
in the Hundreds of Folkestone, Street, Bircholt Franchise, Chart,
Calehill, Wye, and the Liberty of Ashford : and in the other
direction from the Hundreds of Hayne, Worth, St. Martin's, Long-
port, Aloes Bridge, and the towns of Old Bomney, New Bomney,
and Lydd. To whatever place the carts belonged, the hire for those
working at Sandgate was 16c?. a day ; a number also were engaged
in the transport of timber and lime, paid, as has been said, at the
rate of 2d. a mile for the ton load.
Sand and Pebble. — The carts at Sandgate in addition to convey-
ing stone from the quarry had also to carry " Sande Bebyll" or
" Sande and Frebill." The sand was of course for the mortar, the
pebbles were probably used with the sand for concrete, or if large
for filling up the bulk of masonry.
Ironwork and Tools. — Much interest attaches to the monthly
accounts of the " Ironwork made and delivered by Bichard Malyce,
smith [for the greater part of the time] of the King's works at
Sandgate," because of the particulars they afford in regard to the
tools, and their mention of parts and fixtures of the Castle.
The smith bought the iron and steel from the King at cost price,
and had a price per lb., 2d. or 2\d. according to workmanship, for
the tools or articles supplied by him; his monthly accounts also
comprise his charges for the necessary repair of tools.
Of iron — written "yerne," "yeron," and " yron "—I find the
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1539-40. 241
purchase of about 4^ tons; and of 11 sheaves and 9 burdens or
bundles of steel, the equivalent of which in modern weight I cannot
give ; the sheaf is priced at lOd. and 8d., the bundle or burden at
4s., but the accounts only shew -lis. spent on steel. For the price
of iron we have a few entries under the head of "empeions " or
purchases, thus : Tn the first month, " To Master Thomson of
Dover Town for 5 cwt. and 26 lbs. of iron .... at 0s. 8d. the ewt.
[=£6 13s. 4(3?. per ton];" in the fifth month we find 3 tons and
7 score lbs. bought of Thomas Bacon, salter, of London, for £18 Gs.
8d. [=£6 per ton] ;. and there is another purchase the same month
of 1 ton from Mr. Ager (place not stated) for £7 Gs. 8d., a much
higher price than the preceding.
I will now class together some examples of tools and ironwork ;
they are chiefly gathered from the smith's monthly accounts, but
some are found as " empeions " or purchases. Shovels and spades
were bought at various places as the following entries show :
To John Morton of Ashford 6 " schodde schovylls wth. stele " [or
shod with steel] at (id. To Roberd Wylkyns of London for 2
dozen of " scholvys " at 4d. To same for a dozen steeled spades
at Gd. apiece. To Myghell Abel, smith of Canterbury, for 5 dozen
and 4 shovels and spades, shod and steeled, at 6d. apiece. To
Thomas Valentyne of Hythe for 2 dozen shovels and spades at Gd.
apiece. To Thomas Hamon of Folkestone for 4 shovels unshod 2d.
apiece. Trees for 8 " shovells " Is. 8d. This and the following

Repairs. — The smith in addition to supplying tools and the
requisites for the Castle had, necessarily, to keep the tools in repair ;
his monthly accounts — the highest of which amounts to £44 14s. 4c?.
— are largely composed of items such as the following : Helving of
hammers and axes; trees [handles] for shovels; mending of
shovels ; trees and rydds [hinges] for the plumbers' pan 5s. ; shar-
pening of 900 masons' irons, or points, at lOd. the 100, Sm. 7s. Gd. ;
battering [i.e. forging] of 2 sledges [great hammers] 2s. ; battering
of 5 score and 8 hammers at 2d., Sm. 18s. ; battering of masons'
axes 2d. each ; steeling* 39 hammers at Qd. each. Steeling of 15
masons' axes 3s. 9d. ; steeling 33 masons' irons or points at 3d.
each ; " shettyng of a twybble " [sheeting, i.e. steeling of a twibill or
mattock, which had one end like an axe, the other like an adze] 4<d. ;
" shettyng" of a great bar, 4d. ; mending of a pair of " cobyerons "
\_coh-irons] 5\ lbs. ; mending of 2 iron rakes for the limekiln at
St. Eanswiths, 8d. ; mending of bolts for the ordnance Gd. ; repair-
ing of the King's Artillery, that is to say 24 " sheff " of arrows at
12d. the " sheff," 24s.
JVails are so well represented that I accord them a special para-
graph ; they are generally found as " empcions," or purchases, and
were bought in London, at Wye fair, and other places, but the
larger kiud are supplied by the smith. The following are among
the many entries : 200 of " small tacke nayle " -id. ; 4 mil. [thou-
sands] of " sprygg," bought at Hythe, 2s. 8d. ; 2 " some " [?] of
"sprygg" 10s. ; 2 ditto at Wye fair, lis. 4<d. ; 1 ditto at London
Gs. Sd. ; the prices following are per mil. : threepenny nails Is. Sd.,
2s. Sd., and 2s. Gd. ; fourpenny nails (spent in making wheel-
barrows, bosses, and mortar tubs) 2s. Gd. and 2s. 8d. at London,
2s. I0^d. at Wye ; fivepenny nails 4s. 26?. ; sixpenny nails 5s. and
at London 2s. 8d. ; eightpenny nails made by the smith for the
plumber 4s. 9d. ; single tenpenny nails at London 5s., at Wye fair
4s. ; double tenpenny nails at London 10s., at Wye fair Ss. ;
" latesse nayles " 2s. Gd. per 100 ; rivet nails 3s. 4?d. per 100 ; 50
" great broddes " Qd. ; 100 " small broddes " 4-6?. ; great nails to
nail the lead upon the wall 18 lbs. at 2d. ; 1000 " tyn nayles"
[? tin-coated] Gs. 8d. per 100, Sm. £3 Gs. Sd. ; 500 " great tyn
naylys " 285 lbs. at 4d., Sm. £4 15s. ; 500 ditto 252 lbs. at id., sm.
* This steeling appears to have heen not merely tempering, but the welding
or combining of steel with softer metal, for in the first month's accounts a bun-
dle of steel is bought and "spent in hardening of hammers," and in the fourth
month hammers and points are " battered and steeled with the King's steel."

■U. the lb., Sm. 66 11*. 8d.
Tin. — We have above several instances of " tin nails" which
seem to have been used in studding the principal gate or gates; in
the smith's account we read also of two " uprights" for a window
" tynned ;" and as there is a purchase of 75) lbs. of tin at 4d. it
would seem that the great nails and uprights were coated with the
white metal, for appearance sake, or to prevent corrosion.
Hi~ass is mentioned four times : In the seventh month, William
Ryve of Canterbury delivers to the clerk of the storehouse and to
John Pallmer, master carpenter, 8 pieces of " brasses " for the draw-
bridge, weight 2 cwt. 51 lbs. at 3M. the lb., Sm. £4 0s. 1\d. ; in the
eighth month, 2 iron bolts weighing 9 lbs. are made for setting in
brasses of the castle gate ; in the same month there is the purchase
of 4 " shevers " \? pieces'] of brass weighing 44 lbs. at 8%d. ; and in
the twelfth month, a kettle of brass weighing 6 lbs. at Id. is bought
" to temper glue and rosin with."
Lead, Solder, and the Plumbers. — In the third month's account
4 cwt. of lead at 4*. 8d. the cwt. is purchased, where is not said ;
but why should the King have bought the metal when at Horton
Priory, which he had seized, he had it near at hand ? There was no
buying of lead after this month. A record of spoliation is the ledger
entry that 13 loads of lead — about 9£ tons — came from the dis-
mantled Priory, carriage, only, paid ; part of it was carted all the
five or six miles ; part to Hythe Haven only, and thence by boat
conveyed to Sandgate.
Thomas Hall, the chief plumber, and Stephen his servant,
appear in the same third month, and use the lead to " yote " hooks
in doors, loop hooks, and windows ; for the same purpose they also
use " sowder " [solder], the price of which is Ad. the lb. In the
sixth month Thomas Aeon — called Serjeant Kon in one account —
is serjeant plumber, and is at work with 4 assistants ; 24 fodders
of lead are cast, weighing nearly 12 cwt., for which the serjeant
receives 3s. 3d. the fodder. The fodder seems here to have been a
piece, neither measurement nor weight, though to-day the term
implies 21 cwt. of lead ; in these accounts, 8 fodders in one place
weigh more than 12 in another. In the seventh month, lead is
prepared for three round towers. In the fifteenth month, solder
is bought to solder the leads and the joiners' glue-pots. Cisterns of
lead are mentioned, and in the eighteenth month lead is cast, and
laid for the gate house and countermure, and for the lantern,
taberts, pipes, and sules ; and in the same month as much as 292
lbs. of solder is used or purchased.
We have no further reference to the plumbers' work although
during the last four months 3 or 4 were constantly employed; they
had generally 7d. a day, the " serjeant," when not paid by the piece,
had lOd. In the last month, they mended with solder " certain
places in the lead where it was broken by reason of paving."
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1539-40. 245
Calkers. — There were also at work in the latter months 6 to 8
calkers, who, besides 6d. a day, were allowed their meat and drink ;
in the sixteenth month, there is this entry : paid to " John Broun
vyttlar for mete and drynke for the calkers by the space of 12
days at 2ld. the week." Sm. 19s. Qd. Tow also appears in the
accounts; 40 quarters of tow to calk with, at 5d. the quarter, are
bought at Hvthe, and 190 lbs. at Id. the lb. Bed lead is paid for
at 2d. the lb."
Plasterers. — Seven were at work during the final month ; their
daily wage being Id.
Laths came from Warehorne, Bromley Green, Ashford, and
Canterbury, all 12 or 13 miles distant from Sandgate. The price
was 4d. to (id. a hundred ; the best is called " harte " [? heart]
lath ; 535 hundreds are entered in the accounts.
Hair for plastering. Of this, G15 bushels at Id. were bought,
chiefly at Canterbury.
" Thromes " [weavers' waste] were bought to the amount of 8
lbs. at l^d. from two weavers.
Paviors were employed at a daily wage of 7d. during the last
three months ; their work is not described further than that Thomas
Lambert, pavior, is in the last month paid 20s. for paving three
rooms " by great," i.e. fixed price.
Painters. — Three painters are mentioned in the accounts of the
last three months ; we should like to learn where they applied the
many colours named, but the wish is not gratified. The materials
and paints are generally, though perhaps not always recognizable,
in the old spelling ; I give them as found : paynters' oyle, 2s. the
galonne \_a great price'], whytte leade, redd leade, orkement, sprunse
oker, generall, dorry, rossett, blank pin., byse [blue], vermylyon,
verde-grese, bytnose, Spanysh white, blaeke, florey , py ngke, synaplake,
sylver [leaf] 3s. the 100, fyne golde [leaf] 6s. the 100, with the
latter we fancy the castle vanes made resplendent ; bought at
Canterbury 35 bushels of glover's shreds at 3d. " to make size for
the painters ;" 12 pots Qd.
Glazing. — Of this there is mention only in the last account,
viz., " payde to the glasyers for glasing of certen wyndowes w'n the
castell, 35s."
Empcions [purchases or disbursements]. — We have already
drawn on this account, but there are yet interesting items which
I will extract as concisely as possible : To John Swainton of
Alkam for carriage from St. Badegunds of 4 loads of wheelbarrows,
handbarrows, bosses, hods, and mortar-tubs, 4s. To Bychard
Panter of Canterbury, smith, a sheaf of steel lOd. and a bundle 4s.
To Thomas Fagg of Buckland for carriage of 2 loads of iron from
Canterbury 4s. Baskets, generally bought in London (whence the

Officers, Clerks, and Expenses. — For the first nine months,
Thomas Cocks and Eichard Keys were the Commissioners for the
work, that is to say from the 30th March until the 7th December
1539. These Commissioners do not sign the accounts which officially
emanated from them ; every page of the ledger, during the nine
months, bears the confirmatory signatures of Stephanus de Hashen-
perg, ic, William Baker, Mayor [of Folkestone], Robert Lynsted,
warden [master-mason], John Pallmer, carpent. [master-carpenter],
Edward Inmyth, jurat, Thomas Medley, jurat, John Lambert, clerk
of the check, and Thomas AVarren, clerk of the call. During the
subsequent period so many signatures were not considered neces-
sary.
After the first nine months, and during the other ten, Cocks no
longer appears as Commissioner. The ledger does not ehow his
remuneration, nor that of the engineer Von Hashenperg, who
perhaps received his pay direct from the King's minister. The
salary of Richard Keys appears in the summary on the last page
of the ledger. He claimed £110 8s., for 552 days' service, at the
rate of 4s. per diem.
Von Hashenperg, who wrote his name in the Latin form, wras a
German. As Steven von Hassenperg (and Hashenperg) he is men-
tioned, as Master of the Works, in the accounts for the repair of
the Castle at Carlisle in the year after the completion of Sandgate
Castle. (Add. MSS. 6362 f. 3, and 5754 ff. 90—92, the latter
reference is to three receipts for salary at 4s. a day). The let-
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.I). 1539-10. 24-7
ters, ic, following bis name, wore a puzzle to me, until interpreted
by Mr. Bickley of the MSS. Dept. Brit. Mus., whose willing assist-
ance in reading the old record I desire gratefully to acknowledge.
By him the initials are read t:ic." for iconomus, which the GHossary
of Du Cange mentions as in use for oeconomus, manager or director.
Von Hashenperg is in this ledger twice referred to as " the Alman,"
and at Carlisle also he was called "Stephen the Alinayn." It is
not probable that he remained at Sandgate after March 1540, when
he ceased to sign the accounts; but his connection with the work
seems to have been continued as " the devisor " or designer. In
the twelfth month, the master-carpenter and the master-mason go
to London " to know the devisor's mind concerning his work in
the Castle of Sandgate ;" in the thirteenth mouth and subse-
quently " the devisor's clerk " is mentioned ; and in the eighteenth
month, we find certain expenses at Folkestone allowed to " Mr.
Stephyn the devisor," the ledger clerk thus avoiding the difficulty
of writing the foreign name.
At the beginning of the tenth month, as has been noticed,
Eeynold Scott, Esq., became Surveyor or Comptroller of the work,
while Richard Keys continued to be Paymaster or Accomptant.
On the last page of the ledger the Surveyor appears as Sir Reynold
Scott, Knight, and is awarded a fee of £50. The accounts of the
tenth month are signed by Scott, Von Hashenperg, Ballmer the
master-carpenter, and Lynsted the master-mason ; after the twelfth
month the German's signature drops out, but the other three are
continued to the end.
The overseers and clerks figure more numerously in the lists
of the first period than in those of the second ; but this is owing
merely to the transfer of some of their names to the lists of the
workmen with whom their duty lay. In the twelfth month and
onwTards, we find six clerks and one purveyor; the latter, employed
from the commencement of the work until its finish, was Thomas
Elgar whose duty was to " make provision for timber, lime, carriages,
and other necessaries for the King's Castle at Sandgate." The six
clerks were John Lambert clerk of the check, Thomas Warren clerk
of the call, Thomas Busshe clerk of the ledger, Francis Diggs the pay-
master's clerk, John Shotford the devisor's clerk, and John Strogull
" Mr. Scott's clerk for registering and writing of his books." John
Strogull was a witness to Sir Reynold Scott's will, which gave him
an annuity of £5. (Memoirs of Scott Family by J. R. Scott, 1S7G,
pp. 179, 1S3). The clerk's pay generally was 'Sd. per diem.
The " expenses " of the officers furnish us with a good deal of
interesting information, especially in regard to the transport of
the money to Sandgate for the monthly payments. I cannot do
better than give some of the items under this head verbatim.
In the second month, two horse hires from Folkestone to the
Downs* for the Alman, at Vld. the horse.
* The Downs arc mentionod three times in the ledger, it being evident that
" the three castles that keep the Downs," viz., those of Walmer, Deal, and San-
down, of which Mr. Elvin has lately given so good an account, were built at the
same time as that of Sandgate.

Tn the third month, Mr. Keys asketh allowance for himself and
his three men for riding to Dover for money to pay the workmen
and labourers by the space of a clay ami a night (is. tid. To Thomas
Busshe for his expenses riding by the space of sixteen days, to press
masons out of the West Country at 12</. the day, l(5.s\
In the fifth month, expense of William Baker of Folkestone,
jurat, for certain business concerning the King's great works at
Saudgate : A horse hire and for horse meat and man's meat riding
to Chartham for trowels 12d. : Two times riding to the Downs to
have certain communication with master-comptrollers there con-
cerning the use and custom of freemasons and hard-hewers 2s., etc.
Master Keys asketh allowance for riding to the King's Grace for
money to Guildford and to Farnham, and there at the King's
Grace's pleasure for the space of 23 days for him and his four
horses, and for conducting the said money to the King's Castle of
Dover, at 6s. 8d. the day, £7 13s. 4>d* Paid to John Colley for
his expense for himself and his horse for carrying a letter unto
the Lord Privy Seal [Thomas Cromwell] being at Grafton [Graf 'ton
Royal, Northants] by the assignment of Mr. Cocks, the said John
being out the space of 11 days, every day 12c?., lis.
In the sixth month, Richard Keys asketh allowance for riding to
the King's Grace for money to Grafton, and there at the King's
pleasure by the space of 24 days for him and his three horses, and
for conducting of the said money to the King's Castle of Dover
at 6s. 8d. the day, £8. Carriage of a "gonue" [gun] from Dover
to the King's Castle at Sandgate 6s.
In the seventh month, Mr. Keys asketh allowance for riding to
London to Master Bryan Tukef for money by the space of 11
days for him and his three horses, and for conducting of the said
money unto the King's Castle of Dover at 6s. 8d. the day, £3
13s. id.
In the eleventh month, for writing of the commission signed
by the King's Grace 3s. 4<d. Paid to Cope, my Lord Chancellor's
servant for writing and sealing of the commission 9s. 4d. Reynold
Scott, Esquire, and Richard Keys, Commissioners, ask allowance for

Canterbury to Rochester 12 d. Item from Rochester to Gravesend

from Basingstoke to Andover 18 miles V2d. Item from Andover to
* The inconvenience, waste of time, and cost of getting money at this hank-
less period is here exemplified. The paymaster occupies 23 days in getting the
cash, and his expenses amount to a sum which to-day would figure as about £70,
or about 1| per cent, of that month's pay.
t A similar journey was made by Mr. Keys in the eighth mouth. Sir
"Bryan Tuke had been a Secretary of Cardinal Wolsey ; he was afterwards suc-
cessively a Groom of the Chamber, Master of the Jewel House, and Ambassador
to France. His daughter Mary became the second wife of Sir Reynold Scott.

The Castle. — The examination of the ledger has perhaps left
with us the impression that the quantity of material used in the
building was, in proportion to its size, great, and its cost excessive ;
for bearing in mind the difference in money value, we mentally
adapt the total of the account, £5544, to its present equivalent,
and using nine as the multiple (which is, I think, rather under than
over the mark), we have as an approximate equivalent £50,000.
We remember, moreover, that tin's amount did not cover the whole
value of the materials, for a portion of which, to wit the Caen
stone and lead derived from the dismantled Priory of Horton, and
the timber felled in its woods, the King did not pay. The Castle,
however, exhibited a great deal of building in a contracted area,
and was in fact a triple building ; while the masonry designed to
resist an enemy's cannon was necessarily massive, the walls of the
central tower, or keep, being eight feet thick, and the outside sur-
rounding wall at least seven feet. The remnant of the edifice now
casually seen, in appearance little more than a martello tower of
somewhat greater bulk than its neighbours, and but the inner core
of what once existed, fails to impress the passer-by with due ap-
preciation of its former size and importance. And indeed it must
be a matter of regret to the people of Sandgate and Folkestone,
that a building which at the beginning of the century was the
historical and picturesque object of the locality ; to Sandgate the
venerable structure which had existed upwards of two centuries
before the creation of the town, its one only edifice that possessed
the dignity of age and the associations of history ; to Folkestone a
feature which lent itself in no small degree to the beauty of the
PLAN of SANDGATE CASTLE.

western prospect as seen from " the Plain " overlooking Sandgate,
should have been swept away, or reduced to a modernized frag-
ment, at the present day commanding but little notice. It is
my wish now, however, to represent the Castle as completed in
October 1540.
The ledger little helps imagination, though we are grateful for
its mention of round towers, countermures, loopholes, portholes,
casements, great gates, ditch, drawbridge, lantern, and vanes ; we
must search for old illustrations, and happily they are not wanting.
First, we have the map of 1725, before noticed, in which we get a
plan of the Castle to the small scale of 200 feet to the inch, too small
indeed to allow full delineation, yet advantageously affording us the
environments to a considerable extent on either side. The solitary
position retained by the Castle two centuries after its erection is
here shown ; four little buildings only, forming perhaps but two
tenements, appear fifty yards from the walls on the west ; while
the Enbrook which supplied the fort with water, the " gate " or
pass through the hills by which the inland country was approached,
the lower track, now the turnpike road, along the margiu of the sea
to Folkestone, and the demarcations of the tide clearly indicating
the perilous situation occupied by the Castle, are the interesting
features of this map.
The plan of the building — which, enlarged and supplemented
with details of the yet existing curious entrance-tower, I pre-
sent— approached in some degree to a trefoil figure, although the
outline of the walls had other curves than thus implied ; two foils
or segments formed the base on the north or landward side, and one
salient foil faced the south, i.e. seaward. The dimensions were
about 200 feet north to south (the projecting entrance-tower not
included), and about the same from east to west at the base or widest
part, while the circumvallation measured about 650 feet; the area
covered was about three-fifths of an acre. Vol. xi., Illustrations of
Kent, Brit. Mus., Add. MSS., 32,363, contains, among other things,
an interesting collection of Sandgate pictures, made both before
and after the great alteration and demolition of the Castle in 1806.
From this source we can fairly derive a knowledge of the building
as it appeared on its completion, and thence down to its transforma-
tion in the above year, and afterwards. There is no view in the
collection older than one of 1735 from Buck's Antiquities; the
next, of 1762, is from Grrose's Antiquities ; both these old drawings,
and indeed the others met with, are probably best digested cum
grano salis. Buck's picture imparts to the Castle an amount of
sombre and venerable dignity, which we would fain hope is not
exaggerated in the same degree as is certainly the site here repre-
sented as an eminence of acute elevation above the sea, on which,
and to this no exception can be taken, ride stately vessels flying
their flags. Grose's view, smaller and less important than Buck's,
shows the edifice standing, as the letterpress describes, on the edge
of the beach, which, however, falling rapidly seaward, gives sufficient
prominence to the position. Fortunately these two pictures are
252 SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1539-40.
taken from opposite points, Buck's Erom X.lv, Grose's from N.W.
Then there are two small engravings published in L801 by Edw.
Earding, Pall Mall, both from easterly bul different points. One,
taken from the Folkestone road descending into Sandgate, is prottj in
both foreground and distance; an old post-chaise 01 L801 is travel-
ling down the hill, and by the roadside sits, seemingly in defiance
of vagrancy laws, the gipsy woman of the time boiling her pot on a
blazing fire, while the Castle and hamlet appear indistinctly pic-
turesque in the distance. Harding's other view bears a somewhat
suspicious resemblance to Buck's, is taken from the same point, and
with equal absurdity perches the Castle on an acute conical hill ;
but showing clearly the parts of the building on its east side, this
picture may with advantage be used for description conjointly
with Buck's, while for the west side we must turn to that of
Grose.
To assist our inquiry we have also two valuable reported surveys
of the Castle, made in 1610 and 1023, which name some of the
apartments and enable us, partially at least, to conjecture their
situation ; the first of these surveys is with the State Papers, the
second is the Harleian MS. 1326.
It was a triple building, or oue in appearance presenting three
distinct tiers of increasing elevation, rising one within another,
the walls of each tier being surmounted by a parapet crenellated
for artillery ; in Harding's engraving the muzzles of the guns
appear in the embrasures. The outer surrounding wall was at least
seven feet in thickness, and with its crenellated parapet formed
the first and lowest tier seen in the pictures. This outer wall, at a
height not much above the level of the ground without, was pierced
with openings (ten of which on the N.E. side are shown in the pic-
tures), somewhat wide on the outside so as to afford range, but
narrowed inwardly and then secured with iron bars, the making of
which we notice in the ledger. These openings appear to be the
" portholes " mentioned ; they probably lighted chambers used by
the gunners or for stores, and above was a platform on which guns
could be planted and fired through the embrasures of the parapet.
Between the range of low buildings skirting the outer wall and the
inner second tier of the Castle ran an open passage, apparently
"the ditch" heard of in the ledger, into which opened doors from
the basement of the building. This fosse or passage seems to have
been cut short or crossed by a wall which terminated uthe principal
bulwark or battery" (so called in the report of 1623), forming the
southern or seaward segment in the plan of the fort, the level of
which battery was considerably above the lower range of building
we have noticed. At the S.E. bend of the surrounding wall, where
adjoined " the principal battery," or " gun-platform " as termed in
the map of 1725, a turret rose, surmounted by a flag-staff, from
which, in both pictures serving me for description, flies the National
Ensign. The gun-platform, or ;' mount upon the outward wall next
the sea," is said in the report of 1616 to have been 100 feet in
length and 18 feet in breadth ; in the plan of 1725 eight guns are
ms ill to
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.D. 1539-40. 253
mounted on it. The western side of the Castle was doubtless
much like the eastern side, which has had our attention. Grose's
view of it shows the southern battery, the guns mounted and
pointing to sea; he also shows a tall isolated shaft, which seems
temptingly to offer itself as a mark to the guns of an enemy's ship,
and may have been for ventilation and to carry off the smoke of
artillery discharged in the lower chambers of the fort, as described
by Mr. Elvin, Records of Walmer, etc., p. 162. In Buck's view
several chimney-like erections appear above the roof of the keep.
The inner buildings of the Castle rose high above the buildings
which skirted the outer parapeted wall, and thus formed, as seen in
the pictures, the second tier. The plan of this inner portion of the
structure was triangular, the three sides outwardly convexed, the
angles occupied by circular towers or bastions, the full diameter of
those at N.W. and N.E. being about 29 feet, and of the S. tower
about 32 feet. The survey of 1623 mentions the N.W. and N.E.
" bulwarks," the roofs of which are covered with lead, and in the
N.W. (probably in both) was a room used for gunners' lodgings,
beneath which a " cellar." These " bulwarks " were perhaps the
above-mentioned towers, of which the basements or " cellars " yet
remain, with, in each case, a passage communicating with the
basement of the keep ; but it may be more consistent with the
nature of bulwarks to suppose them to have formed part of the
outer wall at its N.W. and N.E. segments. On the flat roof of
these towers, 20 feet diameter within the parapet, guns were pro-
bably mounted, and we are shown by the plan of 1725 that at the
bottom of the N.E. tower was a "well," fed by an underground
conduit, 80 yards in length, from " a spring," probably the
Enbrook, beyond the Castle walls.
The second and inner tier (which encompassed and communi-
cated with the third and innermost portion or keep) being of two
stories had space for many apartments, the principal of which was
doubtless "the Queen's Lodgings," thus designated in the survey
of 1623, and in that of 1616 as " the Queen's Chamber," a sure
proof of Queeu Elizabeth's visit, which will afterwards, as an im-
portant event in the Castle's history, have our attention. Also are
named "the Parler " and " a room going into it," the kitchen, the
bakehouse, and the powder room; besides these there must have
been several other chambers. To locate those mentioned and now
not existing is impossible ; the situation of the Queen's Lodgings is
only so far defined in the report as it is shown to have been under
the leads, that is in the apparent second tier of the Castle. On the
fiat roof of this second tier probably guus could be mounted and fired
through the embrasures of the parapet ; and lighting the apart-
ments Buck shows seven tall narrow windows, generally lancet-
headed ; the windows, however, or rather the lighting of the several
parts of the edifice, and more particularly the keep, to which we
now come, is a subject of somewhat perplexing conjecture.
The keep (as for distinction it is convenient to call the central
core of the Castle, although as it was not isolated the term perhaps
251 SANDGATE CASTLE, A.I). 1539-40.
is questionable) is referred to in the survey of 1623 as " the Middle
Tower." Rising considerably above the surrounding range of building
it forms in the pictures the third and highest tier. It will be un-
derstood that the keep consisted of three stories, two of them
remain, the uppermost has been removed; the inner diameter was,
and is, 30 feet, the thickness of wall 8 feet. Its middle story, 1he
now existing upper stor}r, was, 1 think, Erom the indications afforded,
"the Hall," named in the 1(516 survey; the area is now divided,
but originally may have formed, one spacious circular apartment, 30
feet in diameter, with doors opening from it into the surrounding
chambers, now swept away. This 1 like to think was the hall of
good proportions which received the Queen ; here she may have
dined with her suite, or leaving it to them she may have retired to
her lodgings opening therefrom. The upper story, now gone, I
think, contained what in the survey is designated " the Great
Chamber over the Hall;" modern accounts say it was here the
commanding officer had his quarters. Both surveys mention its
windows with ruined lintels (the twice-mentioned defect leading to
the identification of the room referred to), and that of 1623 speaks
of four windows in it, and of an equal number in the story below,
i.e. the hall, if my conjecture be right. The lighting of the hall (or
the apartment in the middle story whatever may have been the
purpose it served) is, as I have already said, a perplexing question ;
possibly open bays in the wall of the circular chamber may have
admitted light from some of the tall lancet-headed windows we have
noticed in the outer range or tier ; or perhaps the outer range of
apartments did not entirely enclose the central chamber, which may
thus have been lighted by windows on its southern side (of which we
have no direct view) left unenclosed for that purpose. There is
mention of a lantern " on the top of the Castle," which seems to have
given light to " the Stairs ;" but though it may have served the top-
most story of the keep, as well as the four windows mentioned, the
lantern is not likely to have benefited the chamber below. The roof
of the keep, surrounded by an embrasured parapet, was covered with
lead, and on it was a timber platform for artillery. Allowing 10 feet
for the story now removed, the original height of the Castle was
probably about 50 feet.
A turret, yet existing, 5^ feet inner diameter, and half pro-
jecting from the wall of the keep on the north side, contained the
stairs which afforded communication from the basement of the
Castle to its summit. There may have been other stairs, and these
perhaps in the square projecting building seen in the pictures at the
entrance on the north, forming apparently a porch, and rising to a
height now much below the top of the keep ; in each of the two
walls visible (north and east) there is a window, and these windows
being graduated in height seem as if they lighted a staircase which
may have led directly from the entrance to the top story, and
perhaps to the roof.
It yet remains to notice the gate-tower and drawbridge on the
northern and landward side ; the first is yet intact, and being

peculiar will be best understood by reference to the plan. The
gate-tower is semicircular, projecting 11 yards forward from the
Castle's outer wall, and its gate or door is not as might be expected
in its front side to the north, but in the rear of the semicircle, and
as it were round the corner. Here entering an arched door 4 feet
wide we are in a small semicircular room, which, Avith a similar
chamber above, constituted, I suppose, " the Porter's Lodge ;" and
turning " right about face " we see a flight of steps, 13 in number
and G feet wide, which ascending we traverse a landing 12 feet long,
8^ feet broad, and reach a massive gate fronting the door into the
keep, but 47 feet distant from it. Before proceeding we turn
again to the staircase we have mounted and perceive a shallow
recess in the wall, formed, there can be no doubt, to receive a
"falling door," such as the ledger mentions, by which the stairs
could be closed, the hooks for hinges yet remaining ; we see also
the return-landing, 2\ feet wide, by which the porter reached his
upper chamber in the gate-tower ; and again facing the Castle we
discover the hooks of another gate now removed, inner to that yet
existing. Of the space between the gate and the keep, now levelled
up, we can scarcely tell how much of it was formerly open ditch
across which fell the drawbridge ; the ditch may have been 20 or 25
feet, but in an existing plan of Sandown Castle the drawbridge is no
more than 11 feet in length. It appears, however, from the pictures
and from the plan of 1725 that the walls were continued across the
ditch from the gate to the keep, so that between the walls we
imagine a pit spanned by the drawbridge when lowered. We may
think the access to the Castle little befitting the dignity of the
great Queen who visited it ; yet entering the small door in the base-
ment of the gate-tower, ascending the toilsome staircase of 13 steps,
passing through the great gate, and crossing the drawbridge, we
must suppose Queen Elizabeth to have reached the Castle. She
would then pass through the range of building now swept away,
and by the yet existing door, only 3 feet wide, she would enter the
central circular hall in the keep, an apartment of no mean dimen-
sions ; or before reaching the hall her Majesty may have been
conducted to her lodgings in the outer tier by a door to the left
off the entrance-passage.
A few references to the Plan will I hope assist the foregoing
description. The Plan is drawn from that of 1725, and from the
Ordnance Survey of 1851. The original portions of the. Castle
yet remaining, viz., the Gate-Tower, the Keep, and the Outer
Wall, are shown black.
" A " The Gate-Tower, of two semicircular stories forming the
Porter's Lodge, and entered by the Tudor-headed door " a "; ascent
by stairs to the gate " b," yet in situ: "c" the outer wall re-
maining, but lowered, the buildings formerly along it, and the

"e" shows where the drawbridge crossed the ditch now filled up:
" f " buildings of two stories, now removed ; in the upper story were
" the Queen's Lodgings," and other apartments, the flat root' forming
a platform within the crenellated parapet. At " h," where the
Castle was entered, the building appears in Buck's picture to have
been carried higher, and perhaps contained a staircase. " K " marks
the Keep, entered by a door 3 feet wide. 1 1 was of three stories, two
of which remain, viz., the basement, and the story shown on Plan,
with fireplace, two windows, and door into the circular stair-turret
projecting from the wall of the keep. Queen Elizabeth may have
dined in this apartment, which was 30 feet in diameter, but is
now divided. Above it wras the third story, now gone, the modern
domed roof occupying its position, whereon remains the central
iron pivot and circular traverse for a gun ; a parapet 8 feet thick,
and 4 feet high, surrounds the present roof. From the basement
chamber of the keep three passages, dotted on Plan, 34 .V feet
long, 3 feet wide and 7 feet high, communicate with the Towers,
N.W., N.E., and S., which towers may formerly have had doors
into the ditch. Of the three towers only the lower portions now
remain ; originally they rose as high as the buildings " f," but they are
now reduced to the ground level under which they are vaulted, and
in each is a pillar of masonry to carry the weight of a modern gun
planted above. For the same purpose a pillar in the keep rises
from the basement to the roof. The keep is at present 40 feet
high, and allowing for the story removed it may have originally
been about 50 feet. A dry fosse, 20 feet wide, and 10 feet deep,
now surrounds the keep, occupying the site of the former buildings
" f " ; a wooden bridge spans the fosse, and gives access to the old
door into the keep. A dotted line to the north of the Castle
indicates the underground conduit, possibly still existing, by which
water was brought to a " well " or reservoir at base of the N.E.
Tower.
I have yet briefly to refer to the transformation of the Castle,
involving its demolition to a great extent, which was effected in
1806.
The Castle demolished and transformed. The outside surround-
ing walls were left standing but lowered, and the embattled parapet
removed, the rebuilding of the damaged seaward segment causing
some alteration in the contour. The central keep was spared but
diminished in height by the removal of its uppermost story ; all the
surrounding buildings were swept away, and the debris used in
levelling the area between the outer walls and the keep ; round the
latter a fosse 20 feet wide, spanned by a little wooden bridge, was
left ; the three passages radiating from the keep to the three
towers remain ; but these towers with the exception of their lowest
and now underground portions are demolished. The ancient guns
were replaced by more powerful ordnance to the number of ten
SANDGATE CASTLE, A.l). 1800. *l~)~i
pieces ; and these instead of being mounted only on the seaward
segment of the wall were also placed at intervals along the S.E.
and S.W. sides of the fort. In addition, a similar gun was mounted
on the new roof of the keep, and to carry the gun a central pillar
of masonry was built from the basement to the roof. An under-
ground magazine, consisting of three arched chambers, was con-
structed beneath the newly formed esplanade between the keep and
the gate-tower, which latter, as already said, probably remains as in
1540 ; the drawbridge, however, and the ditch it spanned are things
of the past ; and the uninformed visitor walks on level ground from
the gate to the old keep, which, diminished, he has perhaps taken
to be merely one of the martello towers observed along the Kentish
coast-line. These towers, indeed, were built at the time of the
Castle's transformation, and its uniformity with them was evi-
dently designed.
I desire here to express 1113' obligations to Mr. R. J. Fvxmore of Sandgate
for much valuable assistance in connection with the subject of this paper, and
to Mr. E. Kennett for the sketches which accompany it. — W. L. E.

LIST OF ENCUMBENTS OF ST. PETER'S, SEAL.
(held with ST. MARYS. KEMSING, rvnr, 1874.)
BY REV. T. SHIPDEM FRAMPTON, M.A., F.S.A.
Among the archives of Rochester Cathedral is a MS. volume
entitled Textus Eojfoisis, compiled by Bishop Ernulf probably
about the year 1120. Among its contents is a List of Churches in
the diocese, with the dues they paid, to the Mother Church on
receiving the sacred chrism. Tn the course of the List appears the
entry — " Cimisinga rx. den," indicating that Kemsing paid the
sum of nine pence. The word " Sela " has been added in the margin
in smaller characters, and perhaps by a much later hand, but it
would be impossible to say exactly when the addition was made.
From the omission of the name from the text, as well as from the
fact that no mention of it is made in the next chapter, which treats
"de- Capellis," it may be inferred that there was not a capella at
Seal at the time when the Textus Bojfensis was compiled. On
3 August 1233, Eleanor, daughter of King John, and widow of
the second Earl of Pembroke, obtained from her royal brother,
Henry III., the grant of a weekly market on Wednesday, and of
an annual fair on the vigil, day, and morrow of St. Edith, Virgin,
to be held "apud manerium suum de Sele." (Charter Roll, 17
Henry III., m. 2.) On 1 January 1284-5, Otho Grandison, who
was then owner of the manor, obtained a similar grant from
Edward I., of a weekly market on Monday, and of an annual fair
on the vigil, the day, the morrow of the Apostles, Peter and Paul,
and one day after, " apud manerium suum de la Sele juxta
Kemesing." (Charter Roll, 13 Edward I., no. 127.) If it be
borne in mind that fairs were originally instituted for the con-
venience of parishioners who assembled to keep the Dedication
Festival of their church, and that they were accordingly held on the
day of the Patron Saint, the conclusion may seem justified that
there was a capella at Seal in a.d. 1285, though not in a.d. 1233, —
St. Edith being the Patron Saint of a neighbouring capella in
Kemsing churchyard. Whether this was founded by the Countess
Eleanor during her first widowhood, or in the course of her
eventful life as consort of Simon de Montfort, it may not be
possible to determine, but the earliest existing architectural details
of the fabric seem to point to her as the founder rather than to
Otho Grandison, who did not come into possession of the manor
until late in the year 1283. (Close Roll, 11 Edward I., m. 3d.)
INCUMBENTS OF KEMSTNG WITH SEAL. 25')
Indeed, when we think of her first widowhood of more than six
years passed in a religious community, and of her subsequent
intercourse with sueli men as Grosstete, Bishop of Lincoln, who
acted as tutor to her sons, and Adam de Marisco, who was
frequently a guest of the de Montforts, and among whose letters,
still extant in MS., is one which reflects their anxiety to secure a
Buitable parish priest for Kemsing on a vacancy having occurred,
the probability seems by no means remote that in the daughter of
King John and Queen Isabella of Angouleme, the church of Seal
found its " nursing mother." If, however, some date previous to
1265 — when the Countess went into exile — is thought too early, we
must look to Otho Grandison, and to the year 12S4. It is true that
Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, held the manor between 1279 and
1283, but nothing has been met with tending to shew that he was
the builder. The Grandison arms were formerly in one of the
windows of the church, and, it is said, are still in safe keeping in
the neighbourhood.

the Countess Eleanor at the time when political troubles
were thickening round her husband Simon de Montfort,
which were only terminated by his death at Evesham, 4
August 1265. The interesting Household Roll of the
Countess, recoixling the daily expenditure of her establish-
ment from 19 February to 29 August 1265, makes frequent
mention of Richard, " persona de Kemesiuge." We find him
staying with her for two or three days together at Odiham, at
Porchester, and then at Dover Castle, which was her last
place of residence previous to quitting the country for the
Dominican Convent of Montargis in Picardy, whither she
retired within a few weeks of receiving the fatal tidings of

of which number four belonged to the parson of " Kerne-

prosecute his war with France. In connection with this
impost laid on the clergy by the King, the following note in
the Annals of England will be read with interest: — "As the
clergy did not meet his demands so readily as he expected, he
sent one of his knights — John Havering — to their assembly
in the refectory at Westminster, September 21, who in a loud
and menacing voice delivered this very intelligible message :
' Holy fathers, this is the demand of the King, — one half of all
the annual revenues of your churches. If anyone objects to
this let him stand forth that he may be taken note of, as
unworthy of the King's peace.' Well may Matthew of West-
minster add, ' When they heard this, all the prelates were
disturbed in mind, and immediately they granted the King's
demand.' "
3 John de Dittone. He was a Canon of St. Paul's in the years
1310 and 1326. On the death of Gilbert de Segrave, Bishop
of London, in December 1316, he was sent with another
member of the Chapter to notify the event to the King. In
1321 his name occurs as Eector of Abberton, in Essex. He
also held the rectory of Hollingbourne, in Kent. Thomas de
Wouldham, Bishop of Rochester, appointed him one of the
executors of his will, dated Sunday, 27 February 1316-7, and
in recognition of his services in that capacity left him a
bequest of 40s.
4 Richard de Theukesbury. This Eector was presented by
William Grandison, brother of Otho previously mentioned,
who had died without children. With the commencement of
the Episcopal Registers at Rochester in 1310, begins a fairly-
connected chain of Patrons.
6 Gilbert de Keleshill. Previously Rector of Merstham. On
18 September 1339 he obtained the royal licence to accept
from Robert ffremelyn of Kemesyng a rod of land lying
adjacent to the rectory house, and to annex it thereto for
the purpose of enlargement. (Pat. 13 Edward III., pt. 2,

name is mentioned in a dispute about tithes with Richard

few days after, as probate of his will was granted on Tuesday,
8 January 1347-8. (Reg. Hamo de Hethe, f. 272 a.) His
monumental brass representing in half-effigy a Priest in
Eucharistic vestments, in admirable state of preservation, is
in Kemsing Church within the altar rails.
7 John de Shtppedham. Previously Rector of Kingestone, in the
diocese of Hereford.
8 Richard Mowts. This Rector, on 25 July 1370, leased the
church of Kemsing, with the parsonage, tithes, oblations, etc.,
for two years to John Digges, clerk, and Robert de la Beche,
clerk, for £30 per annum. The lessees were bound to provide
at their own expense two parish Chaplains who were to serve
" convenablement la eglise susditz & la chapele de la Seele,
dnraunt le terme susdit." Robert atte Beche, probably the
same person, was Rector of the adjoining parish of Ightham
in 1368.
9 Richard Meant. According to an entry in Bishop Trilleck's
Register, under 30 August 1370, this cleric, who asserted
that he was Rector, made an appeal to the Chancellor's
Court against the presentation to the living by the Patron,
Sir Tho. Gramsom (Grandison), of Tho. Perd, a Presbyter of
the Exeter diocese. The entry has been made by an illiterate
scribe, and possibly Meany is an error for " Mowys." Perhaps
also the terms of the lease mentioned above were not
altogether agreeable to the Patron.
10 Richard Haneketon. Weever, in his Funeral Monuments,
1631, speaking of Seal, says : — " In this church, upon a marble
stone inlaid with brass, I found the portraiture of a Bishop ;
and these words only remaining : Credo quod Redemptor mens
vioit. And these figures, 13^9. Under which — as I gather
by the date of the year of grace — Thomas Brenton, Bishop of
Rochester, lieth intei'red, &c." In this conclusion, which

appears to have been formed simply From coincidence of date,
Weever was undoubtedly mistaken, foril is inconceivable thai
with Rochester Cathedral so near, Bishop Brinton's last
wishes indicating the exacl Bpol for his burial there, next the
tomb of his immediate predecessor, Tho. Trilleck, should have
been wholly disregarded. (Reg. Courtenay* f . 231 a.) As a
matter of tart three ol her Bishops died in the same year, of whom
two, Adam Houghton of St. David's, and Laurence Child of
St. Asaph, left directions that they .should be buried In their
respective cathedrals. The will of the third, Thomas Rushook,
who was Confessor to King Richard II., and was successively
Hishop of Llandaff, Chichester, and Triburna, or Kilmore, in
Ireland, has not been found ; but the following account of him
is given in Cotton's Fasti Eccleslce Ilibernicce, iii., 155, under
the Diocese of Kilmore : — "1389, Thomas of Rushok, D.D.,
an English Dominican friar, became Bishop of Llandaff, and
subsequently of Chichester. For political reasons he was
banished to Ireland, where in this year the Pope appointed
him Bishop of Triburna. He held this see for a very short
time, dying (it is said, of grief) in England. He was buried
at Seale, in Kent (Cole)." On referring to Cole's MSS.,
vol. xxviii., p. 17, in the British Museum, it will be noticed
that that writer, after stating that " he died 1389, aud [was]
buried at Seale in Kent," goes on to say — " If I maybe allowed
to conjecture the Place of his Burial, I should judge it at
Seale near Rochester in Kent." After all, therefore, only
conjecture can be offered, but the latter seems much more
reasonable than the former. In the absence of contemporary
information it is difficult to account for the selection of Seal as
the burial-place of the broken-hearted Bishop, unless he was
staying there when overtaken by his last illuess, but it is a
curious coincidence that his remains should have been laid to
rest within sight of the spot which formed the threshold of his
Episcopal life, for it was at Otford that he made his Profession
of Obedience, 10 April 1383. In the year 1395 Sir William
de Bryene, Lord of the manor of Kemsingand Seal, was buried
in this church. His superb brass, in the most perfect state
of preservation, is within the altar rails. The old 4th bell,
which bears in Lombardic characters the inscription Sit Nomen
Domini benedictum, is believed to have been cast by William
Burford, of London, 1371—92. (Stahlschmidt's Church Bells
of Kent.)
11 Thomas Riulvxqton. In 1397 the advowson of the church
of Kemsing was granted by Gruido Mone to the Prior and
Convent of St. Saviour's, Bermondsev, and in the same year

l- Adam Usk. He was the last Rector of Kemsing and Seal.
About two months before being collated to this living by the
Archbishop, he had been instituted to the rectory of West Han-
ingfield, in the London diocese. He also held at different
times considerable preferment elsewhere, and "twice he narrowly
escaped a bishopric, but his enemies were strong enough to
keep him out of both Hereford and St. David's." He is well
known as the writer of one of the early Chronicles, 1377 — 1404,
in the course of which, under the year 1399, occurs the
interesting entry : — " Hiis diebus, dictus dominus meus
Cantuariensis contulit mihi bonam ecclesiam de Kemsynge,
cum capella sua de Seol, in Cancia." (Add. MS. 10,101, Brit.
Mus.) In the year 1399, the Priory of Bermondsey was
erected into an Abbacy, and henceforth the Abbot and Con-
vent presented succeeding Vicars until the time of the
dissolution.

and Sele, by his will dated 12 April 1449, and proved 22 June
1450, left to the tcorks of the churches of " Kemsynge " and
" Selee," where most needed, the sum of twenty marks. He
bequeathed similar sums to the churches of " Sevenoke " and
"Merworth." (Reg. Stafford,!'. 190 ft.) John Partrieh by

25 Thomas Thebold. He was probably a native of Seal, and is
described as " scolaris." He is also mentioned as Vicar
under 20 October 1536. After leaving the neighbourhood he
appears to have gone into the diocese of Sarum, as he speaks
of his prebend of Dornford. By his will, 21 June 1550, he
left the following bequests : — " Item I bequeathe to the Vicar
of Seale aforesaide for my tithes necligentlye forgotten and

Seal parishioner, Maryon Olyver, inserted in her will, 2 July

of ye lyght brynnyng of ij lattyn canstikes or stondors before

among his last wishes, 22 May 1533, expressed himself
thus :— " 1 will a taper of wex of ye weight of ij poundes be
made & sett up byfore our Lady in ye Chauncell of our Lady
in the seide churche of Seale and ther to burne & to be lyght

witnesses to the last two wills was " Syr Wylliam Damport
cur.1' (Curate). In Thebold's time the Valor Ecclesiasticus
was drawn up, which states that the vicarage of Kemsynge
with the chapel of Seale was valued at £26 6s. Sd., from
which was to be deducted £6 13s. 4d., the stipend of the
" Capellanus " who served Seal.
26 John Sennocke. He is mentioned among other Kentish con-

" Johan Blatcher of Seale, wedowe," 26 December 1545. On
leaving the neighbourhood he seems to have gone to London,
having probably effected an exchange with Thomas Hicklyng,
Vicar of St. Bartholomew the Less. He was also a Pre-
bendary of Rochester. In his will, 1 February 1555-6, he
makes the following bequests, among many others : — " My

The date of his deprivation was 26 April 1551.
29 Thomas Tayllour. Also mentioned as Vicar in a will dated 18
August 1557. In the year 1555 Queen Mary granted the
rectory of Kemsing and Seal, valued at £9 13s. 4d. per annum,
to Cardinal Pole, but on his death it reverted to the Crown.
Queen Elizabeth granted it to Sir Peter Manwood, and she
granted the advowson of the vicarage with the manor to Henry
Carey, Lord Hunsdon. John Pelset by his will, 27 February
1558-9, bequeathed an annuity ot'Gs. Sd., issuing from a certain
tenement and lands in Leigh parish, and also another annuity
of the. same value, issuing out of certain property in Seal, to
the Minister and Churchwardens of the latter, for the use of
the poor. In addition to this parish and that of Leigh, those

31 Gilbert Gennyns. On 5 December 1570 he was instituted to
the rectory of Sevenoaks, which he held for upwards of twenty
years. He was also Vicar of St. Dunstan's in the West, and
Rector of Little Parndon, Essex. His connection with Kem-
sing and Seal, like that of two of his successors, extended
over a period of more than forty years.
32 Robert Baker. He is also mentioned as Vicar in the Bishop's
Visitation Book under date of 27 September 1620. During
his incumbency the old 5th bell wras cast by Stephen Swan,
in 1609, Will. Cox and John Raven being the Churchwardens.
33 "Master" Marten. About this period Kemsing and Seal
were made distinct parishes, " Master " Bartton being men-
tioned as Incumbent of the former. In the year 1649-50
the Parliament ordered a Survey to be taken of all ecclesias-
tical benefices. The Commissioners drew up the following
report of Seal : — " AVee answer That the Parishe of Seale is
devided into Three Parsonages and one Viccaredge whereof
one Parsonage and the Viccaredge belonges to the Parishe
Church of Seale and is worth thirtie ffive poundes per annum
and one little howse worth twentie shillings per annum. That

84 Jonx Stevens. The earliest Eegister Book of Seal commences
with the incumbency of this Vicar. Upon the first page
occurs the following note : — " Memorandum that vpon a
Certificate of diuerse of the Parish of Seale in Kent John
Stevens Minister of the sayd Parish was elected Parish
Eegister of the sayd parish by the greater part of the
Parishioners then present on the twenty seaventh day of
May in the yeere of o' Lord one thousand six hundred fifty
& five, & sworne for the performance of the sa office before
me, Ed. Ashe, October the fourth 1G55." By Act of Parlia-
ment in August 1653, new officials called " Parish Registers "
were created, whose duty it was to keep the Eegister Books,
and make entries of publication of Banns, of Births, Burials,
and Marriages, etc. They were chosen by the householders
of a parish, and entered upon their duties after being sworn
before a Justice of the Peace. The parishioners of Seal had
the good taste to elect their own Incumbent, a proceeding
which was rather the exception than the rule. After the
memorandum mentioned above comes the entry : — " 1653,
John Steuens Vicar. Books belonging to the Parish of Seale:
1, Jewell's Apology for the Church of England ; 2, The first
volumne of the Paraphrase of Erasmus vpon the new Testa-
ment; 3, Homilyes for the Church of England." At a time
when popular opinion was so decidedly anti-ecclesiastical, it
is interesting to note that the good people of Seal had access
to such sound literature in their parish Library. Bishop
Jewel's Apology first appeared in the year 15G2. It was pub-
lished with the formal approval of Queen Elizabeth and the
consent of the Bishops, and was ordered to be placed in all
the churches of England and Wales for the instruction of the
people. The Paraphrase of Erasmus was printed in two folio
volumes by Edw. Whytchurch in the year 1518-9, and was
also appointed to be placed in all churches. The First Book
of Homilies, which was published in 1547, had the following
title : — " Certayne Sermous or Homilies, appointed by the
Kynges Maiestie to be declared, and redde by all Persones,
Vicars, or Curates, euery Sundaye in their Churches, where
they have Cure." The old 1st and 2nd bells were cast by
John Hodson in the year 1660.

was terminated by death.
3fi Maximilian Buck. An entry in the Register Book states that
he was inducted 14 May 1674. His first care seems to have
been to provide suitable Communion plate, both the older
chalice and its paten cover being inscribed with his name, and
the date 1674. On 9 August 1681 he married in Kemsing
Church Rebecca Hallywell, who survived him seven years.
In the Register Book, under Whitsunday 1709, occurs the
entry : — " Memorandum That a New Bible in ffolio was given
vnto & for the sole vse of Seale Church at the proper cost &
charges only of Mrs. Rebecca Buck wife of Mr. Max. Buck,
Yicar of Seal, D.D.DQ.D. Dominica Trinitatis." And a little
further on, under the year 1718, occurs a second note : —
" Memorandum : July 25, Mr. Max. Buck, Vicar, gave a
Purple Velvett Pulpit Cloath & Cnssion, for the sole vse of
Seale church, & a purple fringe & Tossells." The entry of
his burial occurs under 21 April 1720. A mural tablet to
his memory, which is now against the west wall of the south
aisle, states that he was chaplain to the Duke of Dorset, to
his father, and his grandfather. A useful memorial of Mrs.
Buck's beneficence still remains in the form of a handsome
brass chandelier with branches for fourteen candles, which
depends from the centre of the nave roof, and bears the
inscription: "The Gift of Ms Rebecca Buck, 1725." The
entry of her burial occurs under 17 June 1727. During Mr.
Buck's incumbency John Porter, a native of Seal and citizen
of London, devised an annuity of £12, arising from certain
lands in Seal, to the Guardians of SeArenoaks School, on
condition that £10 should be paid to the Usher "for the
educating of the youth of Kempsing & Seale in the know-
ledge of Learning & Godliness," and the remaining sum of
40s. was to be given to " the two most antient persons
dwelling in the parish of Seale."
37 Robert Parran. Fellow of Trin. Coll., Camb., B.A. 1701,
M.A. 1705, S.T.B. 1712, and S.T.P. 1728, by virtue of the
King's mandate. It seems probable that Dr. Parran was not
always resident, as an entry in the Register under date of
24th and 27th September 1729, states that two children were
baptized "by Dr. Parran, Vic," as though such an occur-
rence were unusual. On 13 March 1731-2, Francis Wood-

dated 19 May 1731, devised to certain Trustees I line mes-
suages in London, on condition that they should out of the
profits pay £20 per annum for the education, maintenance,
and clothing of eight poor girls at Seal. The second Register
Book was commenced in 1735, and bears on its cover the
names, — "Robert Parran, Vicar, Richard Hill, Henry Somers,

38 Thomas Cubteis. Of Jesus Coll., Camb., B.A. 1727, M.A.
1731. Deacon 24 May 1730. Priest 17 June 1739. He
held the living rather more than four years, resigning it 29
November 1743, soon after which his patron the Duke of
Dorset presented him to the vicarage of Rottingdean in
Sussex. He succeeded his father in the sinecure rectory of
Sevenoaks, being instituted 30 April 1747 ; and on 20 Decem-
ber 1750 he was instituted to the vicarage of the same on the
decease of Hugh Owen. On 8 May 1755 he was installed
Canon in the Eleventh Prebend at Canterbury, on the pre-
sentation of King George II. In the following year he was
presented to the rectory of St. Dionis Back Church, a Peculiar
of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He died 28 May 1775, at
Sevenoaks, and was buried there.
39 Gregory Shabpe. Of Trim Coll., Camb., LL.B. 1738, LL.D.
1747. A few days before obtaining this living he was
instituted to the vicarage of Birling, on presentation by Lord
Abergavenny, which he retained until 10 June 1757. On
1 February 1757, he was collated to the Prebend of Tet-
minster Secunda at Salisbury ; and four years later he was
iustituted to the vicarage of Purton in the same diocese, on
presentation by the Earl of Shaftesbury, both which he held
until his death. He was Master of the Temple; and dis-
charged the duties of Director of the Society of Antiquaries.
He was the author of several very learned works. He died
8 January 1771, at the age of fifty-eight. During his in-
cumbency the old 3rd bell was cast by Messrs. Lester and
Pack of London, in 1758.

Deacon 7 January 1732-3, and Priest 23 September 1733, on
which day he was licensed to the curacy of Keinsing and
Seal, with an annual stipend of £35. Mr. Winder's connec-
tion with the parish extended over nearly thirty-seven years,
during twenty-eight of which he discharged the duties of
curate. On 24 June 1742 he was instituted to the rectory of
Halstead, on presentation by King George II. He, however,
continued to hold the curacy of Kemsiug and Seal, obtaining
the services of a curate for Halstead. He died 30 July
1770.
41 William Humphry. Of Magd. Hall, Ox., B.A. 1771, M.A.
1773. He also held the vicarage of Birling, to which he was
instituted 6 February 1782, on Lord Abergavenny's presenta-
tion. His incumbency of Kemsing and Seal was within a few
months of equalling in duration that of Max. Buck, nearly
forty-six years. The entry of his burial appears under 19
July 1816. A marble tablet affixed to the south wall of the
south aisle records his decease, as well as that of his wife who
survived him more than eighteen years. During his tenure of
office William Baker left by his will in 1777, an annual rent-
charge of 26s. for the use of the poor ; and Elenor Mortimer
who died in 1803, left £5 annually to keep a vault and
certain monuments in repair, with the proviso that the
surplus should be distributed among the poor.
42 Geryas Whitehead. Fellow of Jesus Coll., Camb., B.A. 1785,
M.A. 1788, and B.D. He held for twenty-four years the
Mastership of Sevenoaks Grammar School, in which he was
succeeded by the Bev. J. T. Wilgress, 26 May 1813. Mr.
Whitehead was also Vicar of All Saints, Cambridge. Owing
to the unfitness of the Glebe house at Kemsing Mr. White-
head obtained the Bishop's licence to reside at Seal. During
his incumbency Seal Church underwent a restoration, as
appeared by an inscription on the gallery which formerly
occupied the west end of the nave: — "This Church was
repaired at the charge of the parish, and was new-pewed and
ornamented by voluntary contributions, a.d. 1828. Bevd G.
Whitehead, Vicar, Thomas Thompson and William Cronk,
Churchwardens." A mural tablet at the west end of the
south aisle records the death of Mr. AVhitehead on 23 July
1838, and makes mention of his distinguished classical attain-
ments.

23 June 1846. He was Domestic Chaplain to the Bishop of
Rochester. By an Order in Council, dated 8 August 1845,
it was decreed that from 1 January 1846 the deanery of
Mailing should be transferred, with others, to the diocese of
Canterbury, whereupon Kemsingand Seal ceased to be in the
Rochester diocese.
44 Thomas O. Blackall. Student of Ch. Ch., Ox., B.A. 1844,
M.A. 1848. He was ordained Priest 7 June 1846, and
licensed to the assistant curacy of Kemsing with Seal. In
the year 1855 extensive alterations were effected in the church,
when the west gallery was removed and the north aisle
erected. An inscription on the inner wall, over the south
porch door, records that, — " This Church was completely
restored and the North Aisle erected by voluntary contribu-
tions A0 D1 1855. Thomas Offspring Blackall, Vicar, Mar-
quess Camden, W. Cronk, junior, Churchwardens." At Whit-
suntide 1863 a service of Communion Plate, consisting of
chalice, paten, and flagon, was presented to the church by
Capt. Francis Randolph, R.E., an old parishioner. A New
District of St. Lawrence, Seal, was constituted by an Order
in Council, dated 4 November 1867, and the Rev. B. P.
Thompson, M.A., was appointed Incumbent, on the nomina-
tion of Horace Wilkinson, Esq. St. Lawrence Church was
consecrated in the month of June 1868. On 20 August 1869
the churchyard of Seal was enlarged by an additional piece of
ground being consecrated for burials. On 6 August 1874
Seal was separated from Kemsing by an Order in Council, and
a new Vicarage, of St. Peter's, Seal, was constituted. With the
exception of a brief interval during the Commonwealth period,
the two parishes of Kemsing and Seal had been united, and
served by the same rector or vicar from very early times.
45 Charles Edward Few. Of Ch. Ch., Ox., B.A. 1864, M.A. 1868.
In the year following his institution Mr. Few added greatly to
the picturesque appearance of Seal churchyai'd by erecting a
handsome and useful lich gate at the entrance on the south
side ; and in the year 1878 the ancient vestry underwent
by his exertions considerable alteration, which has rendered
it much more convenient both for choir and parish purposes
AND ONE VICAR OF ST. PETER'S, SEAL. 275
On 23 October 1877, the District Chapelry of St. Margaret,
Under River, was constituted a new vicarage by an Order in
Council, and the Rev. Geo Morley, M.A., was instituted
Vicar 5 February 1878, on presentation by the Rt. Hon.
Baron Sackville of Knole, the patron. In the year 1879 the
north aisle of the nave of Seal Church was extended eastward
to form a chamber for an organ, built the previous year by
Messrs. Forster and Andrews of Hull. A brass label bears
the following inscription in black-letter characters: — " To the
Glory of God, and in memory of a beloved Wife, and devoted
Mother, who loved to worship there, this Organ was given to
the Parish Church of St. Peter, Seal, Kent, March 21st,
1878." In the year 1886 the old 5th bell was recast, the
original inscription being judiciously preserved, and the
following words added : — " Recast by John Warner & Sons,
London, 1886. C. E. Few, Vicar, F. A. Forbes, G. T. Brown,
Ch. Wardens." At the same time a new bell was given which
bears the inscription: — "This bell was presented to the
Church of St. Peter, Seal, by Charles Henry Mills, on the
occasion of the marriage of his son Charles William Mills
with the Honorable Alice Harbord, April 1886." During
Mr. Few's incumbency numerous other offerings have been
made to the church, among which may be briefly mentioned
two elegant sanctuary candle standards, both which bear the
inscription : — " In memory of John Charles, Marquis Camden,
born June 30th 1840, died May 4th 1872. Given by his
Brothers and Sisters." Also a handsome decorated oak
screen, placed between the north aisle and the organ chamber,
which bears the inscription : — "To the Glory of God, and in
Memory of a beloved Father, this screen was given a.d. 1890
by Francis Augustine Forbes, Churchwarden." In addition
to parochial bequests already mentioned the Benefaction
Tables in the south aisle record that : — " The Lord of the
Manor of Knole agrees to give annually 500 fagots to the
Poor of the Parish of Seal." Also that: — "The Possessor
of Wildernesse Park agrees to give annually 100 fagots to the
Poor of the Parish of Seal." Also on a metal tablet against
the west wall of the same aisle is the following memoran-
dum of " The Randolph Annuity," — "Frances Randolph, of
Godden Green, In memory of her deceased husband, Captain
Francis Randolph, R.E., has appropriated the sum of
£323. 14. 10 in Consolidated 3 per cent. Annuities, the
interest of which is to be paid by the Vicar of Seal, to a
widow nominated by him. The widow must have resided at
least 5 years in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Seal, without
having received Parish relief, and must not be under 50 years
of age. Full particulars are entered in the Parish Vestry
Book. June 1878." During the tenure of office of the
present Incumbent and his immediate predecessoiv, many
memorial windows in stained-glass have been inserted, which
have contributed to render this church singularly rich in
colour and artistic design.

BURIAL-PLACES OF THE ARCHBISHOPS OF
CANTERBURY.
BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON.
Archbishop Benson is the 93rd actual occupant of the Primatial
See of Canterbury, but Roger Walden, who was intruded into
Archbishop Arundel's throne, for a few years, is not usually counted
as one of the Primates ; so that we reckon only 91 predecessors of
the present Primate as legitimate Archbishops. Another prelate
(Reginald Fitzjoceline, Bishop of Bath) was elected to the Primacy,
but he died before he could be enthroned. John de Ufford (Lord
Chancellor) died before he could be consecrated. Of the 91 pre-
decessors of Archbishop Benson, the ashes of
5S lie in Canterbury ; but all of these lived and died before the
accession of Queen Elizabeth.
7 were buried at Lambeth, in or beside the parish church there
(viz., Parker, Bancroft, Tenison, Hutton, Secker, Corn-
wallis, and Moore).
6 were interred at Croydon (viz., Grindal, AVhitgift, Sheldon,
Wake, Potter, and Herring).
5 are buried at Addington (viz., Manners-Suttoh, *Howlet,
*Sumner, Longley, and *Tait).
3 mingled with the dust at Oxford. (I) Cranmer was burned
therein 155|. (2) Laud, after his execution in 164£, was
buried at Barking All Hallows, but in 1663 his remains
were carried to the Chapel of St. John's College, Oxford.
(3) Juxon (who, when Bishop of London, attended Charles I.
upon the scaffold) was also interred at Oxford, in the Chapel
of St. John's College, in 1663.

who died at Avignon, on the 22nd of July 1376, but was
removed to Westminster in 1379. He had resigned the
Archiepiscopal See upon being created Cardinal Priest of
St. Sixtus in 1368. His tomb stands on the north side of the
Choir of Westminster Abbey.
2 Pre-Normau Archbishops (Elsin (or Alfsin) and Stigand) were
buried at Winchester.
1 Kobert (a Pre-Norman Primate) lies at Gemetica (Jumieges) in
Normandy.
1 St. Edmund of Pontigny (a native of Abingdon) lies at Pontigny.
1 Archbishop Baldwin, dying at the Crusade, was buried at Tyre.
1 Archbishop Kilwardby was interred at Viterbo.
1 Boniface (a Savoyard) was buried in Savoy.
1 Bichard Wethkrshed or Grant lies at St. Gemma in Italy.
1 Archbishop Sancroft lies at Fressingfield.
1 Archbishop Abbot was buried at Guildford, his native place.
Of the 58 Primates who were interred at Canterbury, 11 were
buried at the Abbey called St. Augustine's ; and 47 were interred
at Christ Church. Of these 47, we find that 19 died before the
Norman Conquest and 28 died after the Conquest.
To St. Augustine's Abbey were brought Archbishop Augustine
and his 9 immediate successors (Lawrence, Mellitus, Justus,
Honorius, Deusdedit, Theodore, Brithwald, Tatwin, and
Nothelm). Another Saxon Primate, Jambert (who had been
Abbot of St. Augustine's), was subsequently interred in the Chapter
House of that Abbey in 790. These eleven Primates are comme-
morated now in St. Augustine's College in the little windows of the
Crypt Chapel.
Intra-mural interment was much objected to by the Eomans
and by the Saxons. Consequently the burial-ground for all Can-
terbury during several centuries was at St. Augustine's, which
stands outside the City walls.
Archbishop Cuthbert was the first who broke through the old
custom, and in defiance of the claims of St. Augustine's Abbey, he
was buried at his own Cathedral Church in a.d. 758, within a chapel
dedicated by himself to St. John the Baptist ; wherein several of
his successors were afterwards interred. Gervase records that in
a.d. 1180* his remains wrere carried to the North-east Transept, and
laid on the south side of the Altar of St. Stephen. His successor
* The most accessible tianslation of Gervase's description of the positions in
which the i-einains of Archbishops were deposited in a.d. 1180 is found in Pro-
fessor Willis's Architectural History of Canterbury Cathedral, pp. 55 — 58.

Bregwin was likewise translated at the same time (a.d. llso)to
the South-easl Transept, and was there re-interred at St. Gregory's
Altar.
Seventeen Pre-Norman Primates were interred at Christ Church
after Cuthberl and Bregwin, many of them in the Chapel of St.
John Baptist, which Cuthbert had built. Of these we know, from
Gervasc, that —

Plegmund was translated to St. Gregory's Altar.
Am elm and Wlfhelm are not noticed by Gervase.
Odo, who >vas placed behind the Altar of the Trinity in Ernulph's
and Conrad's Retro-choir, was brought to St. Dunstan's Altar
in 1180, and in the fourteenth century was moved to the
south side of the Corona.
St. Dunstan, in 1180, was brought to an altar and shrine on the
south side of the High Altar in the new Choir, and there his
body rested until the Reformation. His shrine was opened
in 1508, on the 20th of April, when his body was found
therein.
Ethelgar was, in 1180, removed to St. John the Evangelist's Altar
in the South-east Transept.
Siric's translation is not mentioned by Grervase.
jElfric, who was interred at Abingdon in 1006, was brought later
to Canterbury, and in 1180 was removed, like Ethelgar, to
St. John's Altar in the South-east Transept.
St. Elphege, who was murdered in 1012 by the Danes at Green-
wich, on the site where the parish church of St. Elphege now
stands, after burial in St. Paul's, London, was carried to
Canterbury eleven years later, King Canute himself following
the coffin to the bank of the Thames. In 1180, the Saint's
remains were brought to a shrine on the north side of the
High Altar in the new Choir, and an altar was erected to his
honour. More than two centuries later, Archbishop Courte-
nay, in memory of St. Elphege, filled with glass a window in
the new Nave of the Cathedral, at a cost of £20.

The Tombs op 12 Post-Norman Primates, who were buried
in their Cathedral, have nearly, or wholly disappeared.
Lanfranc (ob. 28 May 1089) was buried on the south side of the
High Altar in the old Trinity Chapel. In 1180 he was trans-
lated to the south side of the Altar of St. Martin in the North-
east Transept, where this Archbishop's name, scratched upon
the south wall, is still visible.
St. Anselm was buried at the head of Lanfranc in 1109, but was
removed to the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul, and was
buried behind the High Altar thereof. The chapel has ever
since borne his name, as St. Anselm's Chapel.
Ralph de Turbine, or D'Escures (ob. 1122) was interred near the
Altar of St. Benedict.
Wm. Corboil (ob. 1136) was buried near the Altar of St. Benedict,
in the Martyrdom.
Theobald (ob. 1161) was first buried at the east end of Conrad's
Trinity Chapel on its north side, but in 11S0 was removed to
the front of the Altar of St. Mary in the north aisle of the
Nave. His remains were found there in 1786. (See Hasted's
History of Kent, xii., 326 note.)
Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170. No trace of his tomb
in the Crypt remains, but representations of it abound in the
ancient glass (about 670 years old) in the north-east windows
of the Retro-choir, or Trinity Chapel, wherein are represented
various miraculous cures which were said to have been wrought
at the tomb of St. Thomas.
Richard (once Prior of Dover) was buried in the Lady Chapel in
the Nave's north aisle, and his remains were found in 1735-40
while a grave was being dug.
Simon Islip was buried in April 1366, at midnight, in the Nave's
middle aisle, at its eastern end. When the Nave was rebuilt,
about twenty years later, his monumental brass was removed
to the North side of the Nave, and placed between two pillars
of the north arcade. In 1786, when the Nave was newly
paved, his memorial stone, robbed of its brass, was carried
probably into the Chapter House, where one similar to it may
now be seen in the floor. Dart gives an engraving of Islip's
tomb on p. 151 of his History of the Cathedral of Canterbury.
William Wittleset, nephew of Archbishop Islip, was buried
opposite his uncle, in June 1374, between two pillars of the
280 TOMB OF ARCHBISHOP
south arcade of tbe Nave. His memorial slab has entirely
disappeared. Hart engraved il on p. L55 of hie History. In
17sO, when the Nave was repaved, his skeleton was found
entire. His body Beemed fco have been lard in wood ashes.
Thomas Arundkl during his lifetime founded for himself chantries
in the Nave of Canterbury Cathedral, and in Maidstone
Church. Pope Gregory XII. gave his formal approval of
both, on June 1, 1408. The matrix of Archbishop Arundel's
memorial brass is said to have remained in the Nave of the
Cathedral until 1786, but his chantry on the north side was
pulled down at the Reformation.
John Stafford was buried in the Martyrdom, in July 1452, and
there still remains the matrix of his monumental brass.
Henry Dene was buried in the Martyrdom in 1508, and the matrix
of his monumental brass remains there, in the floor of the
North-west Transept adjacent to, and south of, that of Arch-
bishop Stafford. It is north of the matrix of the monumental
brass of Prior Finch.
Of 16 Primates' Tombs still visible in Canterbury Cathedral,
the earliest is that about which so much was lately heard — I mean
that of Hubert Walter, who died in 1205, and was buried beside
a window on the south side of the Retro-choir, called Trinity Chapel.
The tomb is shrine-like, with no effigy, but it bears six carvings of
heads, four of which are seen in Dart's engravings upon pp. 123,
150, of his History. These heads are differently attired. On two
of them are mitres, which suggest that the prelate here com-
memorated held only two sees in succession, as Hubert AV alter did.
He was elevated to the Primacy in 1193 from the See of Salisbury
(to which he had been consecrated in 1189). A third head wears
a cap, which may be that of a Dean or Canon, as Hubert Walter
had been Dean of York from 1168 to 1188. As he had been a Judge
or Justiciary in the reign of Henry II. ; the Chief Justiciary of
England under King Richard I. ; and Lord Chancellor under King
John (who, like his brother Richard, was crowned by Hubert
Walter), the other three heads may have represented him in these
dignities.
It is strange that tradition should have attributed this tomb to
Archbishop Theobald, who, dying in a.d. 1160, was buried on the
north side of the old Trinity Chapel, and whose body and tomb
were in ad. 1180 transferred to the Nave, and laid near the Altar
of St. Mary the Virgin. The mistake was pointed out in a.d. 1610
by Somner (Antiquities of Canterbury, p. 123 of Battely's edition)
HUBERT WALTER. 281
Somner traces the error to Bishop Godwyn, and says that none
before Godwyn had authorized the report that this was Theobald's
tomb. Dart, in a.d. 1726, likewise drew attention to the falsity of
this report. Yet it continued to be repeated, and believed, until
our own time. Professor Willis says {Architectural History of
Christ Church, Canterbury, p. 128) of this tomb, " It is usually
attributed to Archbishop Theobald, but without reason ; and it is
too late in style."
The position of Hubert "Walter's tomb is mentioned accurately
and distinctly in only one of the extant manuscript records of the
burial-places of Archbishops of Canterbury. A monk of Christ
Church, writing circa a.d. 1532, says, respecting Hubert W alter,
" Sepultus est in Ecclesia Christi Cantuar, juxta feretrum Sancti
Thonitv.'"* In the outer margin of the MS. are written, by another
hand, these words, " aliter sub fenestra in parte australi," which
seem to complete the identification of the site of this tomb (some-
time called Theobald's), which I mentioned, in the year 1881, as
the probable burial-place of Archbishop Hubert Walter, t Tre-
foil ed arches such as we find in the arcading which ornaments this
tomb wrere unknown in England until they were used by the archi-
tect, William of Sens, wrho commenced the rebuilding of the Choir
of Canterbury Cathedral, after the great fire in the twelfth century.
Ten windows (broad and low), which he introduced, above the
great windows of the Choir, have such trefoiled arches. These
windows were inserted during a.d. 1177-8, and still remain; five
on the north side, and five on the south. J The tomb itself stands
near the site of Becket's shrine, and near the tomb of the Black Prince.
* Parker MS. No. ccxcviii, 5 (at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge), folio
106. This manuscript record was unknown to Professor Willis. In 1844-5,
he wrote: "No record of a monument on this spot is preserved, and if, as is
probable, it has been removed from its original site, all clue to its history is
gone." The opening of this tomb, in March 1892, enabled many questions to
be settled and set at rest. Mr. W. H. St. John Hope, and every expert who
examined the interior of the tomb, decided without doubt that this tomb was
in its original position, and that its contents had never before been disturbed.
It may be useful to mention other MSS. which record the burial-places of
Archbishops of Canterbury :— Harleian MS. No. 63'! {circa A.D. 1313), Polls-
torie del Eylise de Christ de Caunterbyre ; MS. Galba E. iv. (circa A.D. 1321),
printed in Dart's History of Canterbury Cathedral, Appendix xiii ; in Lambeth
Palace Library, Wharton's MS. Collections for his Anglia Sacra include a later
copy of the Parker MS. (by a monk of Christ Church, a.d. 1532) in MS. No. 585.
Very faulty, but of some little use, is Harleian MS. 1360, Richard Scarlett's
record of what he saw in Canterbury Cathedral, especially tbe heraldic blazon-
ing on tombs, as Scarlett was an heraldic painter, or coach-painter.

282 TOMB OF ARCHBISHOP
It is placed beside the south wall of fcbe Retro-choir (called Trinity
Chapel), which was rebuilt during the years 1181-84, but was not
roofed in until a.d. 1184. Every one can therefore sec the truth and
cogency of Professor Willis's remark (p. 128 of his Architectural
History of Cant. Oath.), " The style seems a little later than the com-
pletion of the Trinity Chapel." After the completion of Trinity
Chapel, the first Primate who was interred at Canterbury was Hubert
AValter. He was buried there on the 13th of July 1205. His suc-
cessor, Stephen Langton (who was not consecrated until 1207, when
he became Primate), was buried, as all records testify, in St. Michael's
Chapel, in a.d. 1228, before the altar; and when that chapel was
rebuilt (about 175 or 180 years later), the monk who circa 1532 wrote
the Parker MS. distinctly tells us that the coffin of Stephen Langton
was placed beneath* the Altar of St. Michael, in the rebuilt chapel.
The position in which we see it, now, exactly accords with this
statement. When the Altar of St. Michael was removed at the
Reformation, the head of the coffin of Stephen Langton would be
exposed to view, as it now appears. Thus, before the interior of
this tomb (falsely called Theobald's) was examined, the testimony
of the old monk's manuscript, and the evidence of date afforded by
the architectural details of the tomb, both rendered it tolerably
certain that the occupant of the tomb must be Hubert Walter.
When the tomb was opened on March 10, 1892, and the stone
coffin was found to contain the remains of a prelate whose sacred
vessels with their inscriptions, whose jewels, and whose vestments
were all clearly of a date not later than a.d. 1199, it became indis-
putably certain that this prelate must have been Hubert Walter,
who was Bishop of Salisbury from a.d. 1189 to 1193, and Arch-
bishop of Canterbury from 1193 to 1205.
It remains to notice the fact that, for two or three centuries, an
altar-tomb in the south aisle of the Choir has been invariably desig-
nated the tomb of Hubert Walter. We may trace this error to
Archbishop Parker's words. He says that Hubert Walter was
buried " in chori pariete ad austrum." His description of the site
of Walter Reynolds's tomb is " in australi chori muro." The tomb
so long ascribed to Hubert Walter stands but a few feet to the east
of Walter Reynolds's tomb. The architectural details of both these
tombs prove that they wrere erected early in the fourteenth cen-
tury ; more than one hundred years after the death of Hubert
Walter. Professor Willis had observed this architectural contra-

diction of the truth of the tradition, and mentions it. Another
fact might also have prevented experts from falling into the error of
supposing that this altar-tomb could be the burial-place of Hubert
Walter. Can any one point to an altar-tomb, anywhere, which was
built so early as 1205 ? The earliest altar-tombs in Canterbury
Cathedral commemorate two worthies who died in a.d. 1292, viz.,
the Countess of Athol and Archbishop Peckham. When Archbishop
Hubert Walter died, altar-tombs had not been introduced into our
churches. It becomes now a crux, for experts to discover to whose
memory this tomb in the south aisle of the Choir was really erected.
On Saturday the 8th of March 1892, one of the top or roof
stones of the pyramidal tomb (falsely ascribed to Theobald) was
lifted, and a lighted taper was inserted. To the surprise of those*
who were looking in, there was seen a complete stone coffin with
well-moulded lid. On Monday the 10th of March the contents of
the coffin were fully examined.!
The coffin, of Caen stone, tapers from a width of 30| inches at
the head (or west end) to 22i inches at the foot (or east end). The
lid, of Purbeck marble, is 7 inches thick. Two chamfers run com-
pletely round this lid. The outer one is a simple flat chamfer, about
2f inches wide. The inner or upper chamfer is a wide shallow
hollow, which varies on the two sides and at the corners from Oi
to 8 inches in width. These chamfers cause the central top surface
of the lid to be only 9| inches wide at the head, and 6i inches wide
at the foot. The total length of the coffin lid is 6 feet 9f inches.
The depth of the exterior of the coffin is 16 inches, below the
lid. The width of the coffin is rather greater at the top than at
the bottom ; so that at the foot, its exterior width at the top is
24 inches, and at the bottom 22 inches.
When the lid was lifted, the body of an Archbishop in full
pontificals was disclosed. His crosier was lying across the body
from the right foot to the left shoulder. A chalice and paten had
been placed beside him. His head rested upon a stone pillow, in
which a hollow had been hewn to receive the head. The stone
pillow extended across the full width of the coffin.
Upon the head of the Archbishop was a plain mitre made of
silk, without any embroidery or ornament. This silk was merely
folded into shape ; the two infulae or pendants seem to have been
attached to it with a couple of stitches.

284 TOMB OF ARCHBISHOP
The woollen pallium lm<l decayed awaj ; but two gilt pins, each
4t\ inches long, which had fastened the pallium to the chasuble, near
the shoulders, still remain, and the Leaden weights which kept down
the ends of the pallium were also found. They were flat pieces of
lead about '2 inches by 11, winch had been covered with black silk.
The heads of the pallium-'pins were shaped like daisies or mar-
guerites, $ths of an inch in diameter. Each marguerite has 16 petals.
Some prefer to call the flower a marigold.
Around the primate's neck was the collar of his amice. It was
lying loose, as the amice itself (like the alb and pallium) had
decayed away. This collar is a wonderful example of embroidery
in gold thread on silk. The width of it is only 3J? inches, and its
length 22i inches. Yet within this small space are embroidered
seven distinct figures, each within a roundel. A jewel (or mock
turquoise) was originally inserted between each pair of roundels,
but these are gone.
(I.) — The central figure represents our Blessed Lord, seated, with Hisri^ht hand
upraised in the attitude of Benediction. Above His right shoulder is
a Greek Alpha, and above His left is the letter Omega.
(II. and III.) — Eight and left of our Lord are the Evangelistic symbols of St.
Matthew and St. John, with the name of each embroidered, not in a
straight line, but with the letters placed wherever room could best be
found ; as MAT.EVS and Iohannes..
(IV.) — On the spectator's right of St. John's symbol appears an oxdike Lion of
St. Mark, with the name " marcvs."
(V.) — On our left of St. Matthew appears the symbol of St. Luke with the
word " lvcas."
(VI.) — On the spectator's extreme left is the figure of the Archangel Michael,
with his name, and on his right is one crescent moon.
(VII.) — On the extreme right of the spectator is the figure of the Archangel
Gabriel, with the name " Gabrielis," and two crescent moons, which may
possibly symbolize his two messages of Annunciation — one to Elizabeth,
and the other to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The lettering of all these names is in capitals of the twelfth
century, closely resembling those which appear upon the wall-
paintings in the Crypt Chapel of St. Gabriel in Canterbury
Cathedral, as shewn in ArcliaBologia Cantiana, XIII., 66-7, 75, 78.
The chasuble of the Archbishop is of that ample form which
was used in the twelfth century. It is composed of silk, perhaps
white originally, but now of the old-gold colour seen also in the
mitre, in the ground-work of the amice-collar, and in the primate's
sanctuary shoes. This very ample chasuble is bordered, at its edges,
by a gold ribbon about 1 inch wide, formed of green silk and gold
thread woven together.
HUBERT WALTER (a.D. 1205). 285
Up the centre of the front of the chasuble passes a broad braid
or silken ribbon, woven with patterns which comprise the filfot, the
swastika, and the tau, in various combinations. This vertical and
central stripe has near its base two short flanking stripes, which
seem to lean against it like buttresses. They produce the effect of
a tripod at the base, and they at once reminded me of the similar
ornament upon a chasuble of Archbishop Thomas Becket, wrhich is
still preserved at the Cathedral of Sens. There are other additional
stripes of ornament on that chasuble of Becket ; but this of Hubert
Walter, which we examined on the 10th of March, appears to me
closely to resemble that of Becket in amplitude and shape, as well
as in this portion of its ornament.
Parts of the stole, woven in silk with various combinations of
the tau and the filfot patterns, still remain, and a piece of the Pri-
mate's hair shirt was found near the waist.
The hands having withered away to little more than mere bones,
the Archbishop's signet ring of gold was lying loosely. It contains
a Gnostic gem of the fourth century, as the Rev. S. S. Lewis (an
expert) tells us, formed of a green stone called plasma, and adorned
with the figui'e of a serpent standing erect, about whose head are
rays of light. Parallel with the serpent's body is inscribed his
name, in Greco-Coptic letters, "xnvphic." This ring weighs half
an ounce avoirdupois. The inner diameter of the ring is f ths of an
inch, and it exactly fits the forefinger of my own right hand. The
gem is three-quarters of an inch long, and nine-sixteenths of an inch
broad. Probably Hubert Walter had worn this signet when he was
Bishop of Salisbury, and did not discard it when he became Primate.
We are told by Mr. Waterton, in an article on Episcopal Rings, that
after Hubert Walter had become Archbishop of Canterbury, Pope
Innocent III. definitively settled, in a.d. 1194,* that thenceforward
an episcopal ring should be of gold, solid, and set with a precious
stone on which nothing was to be cut. Waterton quotes as his
authority a work by Merati, edited by Gavanti (p. 1311). He
states also that a curious episcopal ring, of the latter part of the
twelfth century, was found near Oxford in 1S56 ; the bezel of which
was set with a fine antique plasma, bearing the bust of a female.
This episcopal ring seems closely to parallel that which we found in
Archbishop Hubert Walter's tomb. The use of ancient Gnostic
gems by prelates at that period may have caused Pope Innocent III.
to issue his ordinance (in 1191) that henceforward episcopal rings

were to be plain, without device. The ordinance was probably
enforced for a certain period after its issue, but ultimately no doubt
it became a dead letter.
The sanctuary shoes of Archbishop Huberl Walter are very re-
markable. They are of silk, covered with a profusion of embroidery
in gold thread. Their depth is such that they must have surrounded
the ankles. The principal design is formed of large pear-shaped
open curves. Two of these are interwoven at the toe. Between
the toe and the instep are five of these pear-shaped curves, their
broad ends being towards the toes, and the pointed end of each is
finished with a jewel (a garnet) set in gold thread as in a ring. On
both sides of the instep are two figures ; the upper pair being large
heraldic lions passant ; the lower pair being bird-headed monsters,
with tails that end in heads. Around the heel of each shoe we see
several repetitions of a square figure, from each corner of which
projects a fleur-de-lis, while a similar fleur-de-lis projects from the
centre of each side of the square. This design, I fancy, has been
copied from some coin.
Upon the Primate's legs were buskins or leggings of silk,
adorned with the filfot in various combinations.
Near the feet was the " apparel " of the alb. That garment
itself had entirely disappeared, having gone to dust.
The crosier is in fragments, but it had been quite 5^ feet long. Its
round stem is of cedar wood, about three-quarters of an inch (or
more) in diameter. At the bottom was a long spiked ferule of metal,
which was found close to the Primate's right foot. Near the top was
a large silver gilt boss, in which were four antique red gems, one of
which has dropped out. The late Eev. S. S. Lewis described the gems
thus : — (a) Carnelian (pale) engraved with a horse passant ; (b) Sard
(red) engraved rudely with 3 ears of wheat, held by a human hand ;
(c) Jasper (red) engraved with a female figure (perhaps Persephone)
seated on rocks, holding wheat ears in her right hand. Under her
feet is a river god. The crook itself wras small and plain, of silver
gilt, and had become separated from its staff. The crosier was
found lying across and resting beside the left shoulder of the
Archbishop.
The chalice is unique. It is more highly ornamented than any
early coffin-chalice previously found. It weighs lOf ounces avoir-
dupois, and is 5f inches high. The broad hemispherical bowl,
4 inches and 5-16ths in diameter, and If inch deep, is wholly gilt
inside, and has a decided lip curling outward. The exterior is
adorned with engraved patterns wdiich are parcel gilt. The design
HUBERT WALTER (a.D. 1205). 287
shews 24 round arches interlaced. Twelve of these are short and
spring from 12 small trefoil bosses; the other 12 are deeper and
spring from 12 larger bosses of foliage on a lower level than the
others. The base and knop are in one piece, hollow and open.
"When a rule is inserted within the base and knop it penetrates
3 inches and 5-16ths.
The knop is li inch high. It is shaped into 12 convex flanges,
above and below which there is a ring of large beads, 22 in number.
Between each pair of flanges there is a minute incised ornament,
resembling a series of small angles drawn parallel to each other.
The swelling trumpet-like base is highly adorned, and parcel
gilt. It beai*s 12 repousse flanges, flattened not convex. Each is
about 2\ inches long, and at its upper part beneath the knot \ of
an inch wide, while at the bottom the widest part is 15-16ths of an
inch, beneath which comes the curved end. Engraving enriches
each of these repousse flanges, and the engraving is gilt. Around
the edge of the base, which is 4| inches or 4 inches and 7-16ths in
diameter, there is a band of simple engraving parcel gilt. The pat-
tern resembles a band of triangles.
Inside the bowl there is, on one side, at the bottom, a discolora-
tion of the surface. Whether this was produced by wine or by
other action one cannot be sure. It is merely superficial. The
gilding is perfect beneath the stain. On the exterior of one side of
the bowl there are signs of decay produced by chemical action.
The small plate-like paten has especial interest from its double
inscription in twelfth-century capitals. This little paten weighs
2f ounces avoirdupois. Its diameter is 5i inches. The centre is
not flat but curved ; it is dished so as to have a depth of 7-16ths of
an inch. The diameter of the dished centre is 3f inches. The
width of the rim is \ ths of an inch.
Upon the rim is one inscribed band, gilt, and upon the curved
central part there is a second. These bands are each \ of an inch
wide. That upon the dished centre surrounds a carefully engraved
figure of the Holy Lamb. A cruciform nimbus encircles the head
of the Lamb. The inscription around this central figure is, " Agnus
Dei qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis." The only con-
tracted words are Dei, tollis, and nobis. For them the letters
engraved are Di', Toll', and Nob'.
The lettering is especially remarkable. It exactly resembles
the twelfth-century lettering seen on the wall-paintings in the
Crypt Chapel of St. Gabriel.* In this inner inscription we find one

square backed E (being tbc second k in 1 lie word MIBEBERE).
Otherwise all the letters I'i upon this paten have round hacks. ( )f
the other letters all except II are shaped like Roman capitals, and
every N is reversed thus fi.
The inscription around the rim is : —
" Ara cruris, tumulique calix, lapidisque patena,
Sindonis oficium {He) Candida l)issus (sic) liabet."
Canon Francis Holland translates it thus : —
The Altar, Chalice, Paten, Veil,
O Lord of Quick and dead,
These are the Cross, the Tomb, the Stone,
And napkin round Thy Head.
The Latin lines occur upon a small altar slab of the twelfth
century at Cologne, in a church of St. Mary.
Cardinal Stephen Langton, who died in 1228, was buried in
the St. Michael's Chapel of Lanfranc's Cathedral, " deuaunt lauter
Seint Michel."* When that chapel was rebuilt by Prior Chillen-
den {circa 1400-10) the Cardinal's stone coffin was placed under the
altar,f and part of it was built into the east wall. An arch was
turned over the foot of the plain stone coffin, the lid whereof is
carved with a cross, the head of which is still seen within the
chapel, and resembles a Maltese cross. Dart gives a distorted
view of it on p. 134 of his History of the Cathedral of Canterbury.
John Peckham, ob. 1292, buried in the Martyrdom, has a very
handsome tomb there, in the north wall at its western end. There
is a wooden effigy of the Primate, and over the tomb is a beautiful
canopy elaborately cusped. A poor engraving of it is given by
Dart opposite p. 136 of his History of the Cathedral.
Robert de Winchelse was buried (in 1313) near the south
wall of the South-east Transept beside the Altar of St. Gregory. J
There his tomb was seen by Leland in the reign of Henry VIII.
The reputation of this Primate's sanctity was so great that, in 1319,
the Lord Steward of England, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster and
Leicester, strove to get him canonized ; and there was at that time,
in front of Winchelse's tomb, a written description of the miracles
wrought by God for this Archbishop. In I32f Archbishop
Reynolds applied to the Pope for Winchelse's canonization, but in
vain. It is supposed that on account of its reputation for miracles,

the tomb was removed at or before the Reformation. There is
an effigy (of a date circa a.d. 1300-20) which has been inserted,
with marks of violence and alteration, beneath a window in the
south aisle of the Choir which may possibly be Winchelse's effigy.
It has the mitre,* but neither pall, nor crosier, nor primate's staff —
it lies east of and close to the tomb of Archbishop Reynolds. Dart
engraved it on p. 131 of his History, calling it (erroneously) the
tomb of Hubert Walter. The Canterbury monk, who wrote circa
1532, says, " Robertus tic Wyncliiise sepultus est in Hcclesia Christi
Cantuar. coram altari S. Gregorii in austral i parte chori in pariete"
The last six words seem to describe the site we are considering,
rather than that of St. Gregory's Altar in S.E. Transept.
Walter Retnolds died in 1327, and an effigy without pall or
staff, beneath a window in the south aisle of the Choir, is ascribed
to him. It is engraved on p. 143 of Dart's History.
Simon Mepham, who died in 1333, is commemorated by a hand-
some tomb of black marble, without an effigy. This tomb stands
beneath the arch of entrance to St. Anselm's Chapel (dedicated to
St. Peter and St. Paul), near the eastern end of the south side of
the south aisle of the Choir. It now forms the screen between
St. Anselm's Chapel and the Choir aisle. The carvings, in low
relief, upon the black marble of this tomb are worthy of attentive
examination. Arched apertures through the width of the tomb
were left open, according to a custom observed with respect to
tombs of persons of saintly reputation. In the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, many persons, who were troubled with bodily
infirmities, desired to pass through such apertures afflicted portions
of their bodies, expecting to derive curative benefit thereby. An
engi*aving of the tomb will be found in Dart's History, opposite
p. 141. When Archbishop Mepham was buried, the Bishop of
Rochester (that well-known Kentish man, Haymo de Hethe) per-
formed the chief part at his obsequies.
John Stratford, who died on the 23rd of August 1348,

Thomas Beadwaedine, who died at the Bishop of Roches-
ter's Lambeth residence, December 1 st h 131!*, was interred beneath
the great south window in St. Anselm's Chapel, which had been in-
serted thirteen years before. There is no effigy of him, and this
altar-like tomb has not much decoration. It is shewn in Dart's
History, on p. 149.
Simon Sudbury was regarded somewhat in the light of a martyr,
because he was beheaded on Tower Hill, on the 14th of June 1381,
by Wat Tyler's rebels. Consequently, when his body was brought
to Canterbury (his head is still shewn at Sudbury), a position of
highest honour was accorded to him, east of Archbishop Stratford's
tomb, and south of the Altar of St. Dunstan. Thither came the
Mayor and Corporation of Canterbury to pray for his soul, upon
the anniversary of his death, every year, until the Reformation.
Sudbury was a great benefactor both to the City and to the Cathe-
dral. There is no effigy of him, but his altar-tomb is surmounted
by an elaborate canopy of tabernacle work. Leland describes this
monument as " a high tomb of copper and gilt." Dai't gives an
illustration of it on p. 154 of his History. "When alterations, in
the steps and floor, caused this tomb to be accidentally opened, in
or about a.d. 1833, it was seen that the Archbishop's head was
absent, and in its place was a ball of lead. The body was wrapped
(apparently) in sere cloth.
William Courtenay's tomb stands on the south side of the
central portion of the Eetro-choir, commonly called the Trinity
Chapel. It is exactly opposite the tomb of Hubert Walter, and
it stands to the east of the Black Prince's tomb. The effigy of
this Archbishop shews him wearing the mitre and the pallium, with
the crosier on his left side. Its sides are ornamented with arcading,
forming canopied niches with pinnacles. There is no canopy over
the tomb. As Archbishop Courtenay's will named for his burial,
either Exeter Cathedral or the churchyard of the Parish Church
of Maidstone (which he had made Collegiate), and as he died at
Maidstone, where a monumental brass to his memory wras inserted
in the floor of All Saints' Church, in front of the High Altar, it was
by many believed that he was buried at Maidstone. The records of
Christ Church, Canterbury, state, however, that Richard II., being
COURTENAY, AND CHICHELE. 291
at Canterbury in 1396, when Archbishop Courtenay was to be
buried, directed that the Primate's body should be brought to his
Cathedral Church, and that he was here buried. Thorn, the chroni-
cler, distinctly states that he was entombed near the Shrine of
St. Thomas. The Obituary of Christ Church as distinctly says that
Courtenay was buried at the feet of the Black Prince. As Courte-
nay had been a great benefactor to this Cathedral, in giving and
procuring money to defray the cost of rebuilding the Nave and
the Cloisters, it was agreed by the Prior and Convent in November
1395, that a perpetual chantry for him and his parents should be
maintained, to be served daily by two monks alternately (each
serving for one week), who should be paid £2 per annum each
for their services. Also it was arranged that upon every anni-
versary of his death, a solemn service for him should be said with
the same pomp and solemnity as was always observed upon the
anniversary of Archbishop Eobert de Wynchelse. It was added
that upon every such anniversary every monk of Christ Church
who was a priest should say one mass for him, and every other monk
should for him repeat fifty psalms. No doubt, by these arrange-
ments they satisfied his desire that for his soul should be said
15,000 masses, and 2000 matins. Dart's engraving of Courtenay's
tomb is found on p. 15G of his History of the Cathedral.
Hexrt Chichele, who died on the 12th of April 144-3, erected
for himself the only painted tomb that now remains in Canterbury
Cathedral. It stands on the north side of the Presbytery, nearly
opposite the modern throne of the Archbishop, which is in the
Choir. Chichele founded All Souls' College at Oxford ; he built
the south-west tower of this Cathedral, which is known as the
Oxford Steeple ; and he erected the Lollards' Tower in Lambeth
Palace. "When he had been Primate for about 18 or 19 years he
began to arrange for the erection of this tomb. On the 2 1st of
April 1432, the Prior and Chapter of Christ Church gave permission
that he might build his tomb on the north side of the Choir,* and
they undertook that his monument should never be disturbed.
He caused two effigies of himself to be placed, one above the
other, upon this tomb. The upper effigy represents him in all the
glory of primatial state, with mitre, pallium, Primate's staff, and
every ensign of dignity that a Primate can wear. Beneath this
Chichele caused to be placed a figure of himself as an emaciated
corpse, denuded of all the ensigns of rank and power. Upon the

large columns at the head and fool of the tomb are oichea con-
taining small Btatuea of the Twelve Apostles, and also allegorical
figures representing Time and Labour, Death and Rest. Upon
the upper part of the sides of the altar-tomb are the arms of several
Dioceses in England and Wales. Chichele's own anus, as Arch-
bishop, are seen upon the canopy above the tomb. The authorities
of All Souls' College have always evinced a lively interest in their
founder and his loud). In 1451-2, on February 17th, the Prior
of Christ Church, Canterbury, in response to a grant of £7 per
annum from the College, engaged that at St. Stephen's Altar
(which stood nearest to Chichele's tomb) there should daily be said
one low mass for the soul of Archbishop Chichele, and at the High
Altar a solemn mass of Bequiem at his Anniversary.* Between
A.n. 1G30 and 1640 the tomb was repainted at the expense of the
College, which, during this nineteenth century, has again repaired it.
Dart's engraving of this tomb, on p. 159 of his History of the Cathe-
dral, is remarkably good ; that given by Battely in his edition of
Somner's Antiquities of Canterbury, part ii., between pp. 31 and 35,
is also good ; far better than others in his book, and supplies some
minute details not given in Dart's engraving.
John Kemp, a native of Olantigh in Wye, who was Arch-
bishop of York and a Cardinal Bishop before he became Archbishop
of Canterbury, died on the 22nd March 1453-4, and was buried
on the south side of the Presbytery. His tomb bears no effigy,
and its sides are simply panelled ; each square panel contains a
quatrefoil, cusped within, and having an ornament outside the
indentation of each large cusp. Over it is a very elaborate double
canopy ; a flat rectangular upper canopy surmounting the three tall
tower-like pinnacles of the tabernacle work. These are clearly seen
in Dart's engraving on p. 160 of his History.
Thomas Bouhghchier (whose name is now often contracted
to " Bowcher" and on his tomb is spelt Bourchier, was in his life-
time spelt " Bourghchier") died on the 30th of March 1486. He
was buried in a tomb built by himself during his lifetime, on the
north side of the Presbytery, next to the Altar of St. Elphege. It
is formed of Purbeck marble, in which are carved over and over
again the Bourghchier Knot (a family badge), the arms of the See
with the same knot placed across them, and the rose en soleil badge
of King Edward IV., whom this Primate crowned, and whom he
afterwards married to Elizabeth Woodvile. In 1472 (14 years
before his death) this Primate obtained King Edward's licence to

give Parafield Manor, in Essex, to the Prior and Convent of Christ
Church in order that its proceeds might defray the expenses of
" Bowchyr's Chauntry." In 1473, on September 2, Prior Sellyng
engaged that " Bourghchier's-mas " should be said daily at St.
Stephen's Altar (in the North-east Transept) by two priest monks
alternately (each officiating for one week), and he also engaged that
on the Anniversary of Bourghchier's death, 8s. 4d. should be
annually distributed in the Cathedral among 100 poor persons, Id.
to each, in memory of this Primate.* This Archbishop died at
Knole. His body was carried first to Maidstone Church, and next
day to Favershain Abbey, whence, on the following day, it was
carried in state to Canterbury, and buried in the tomb he had made
ready. In 1492 King Henry VII. declared that Archbishop
Bourghchier had no right to grant Pamfield Manor to the Priory
here. The King, however, permitted the Priory to retain it, but
upon condition that the masses and the distribution, which had
been offered and made for the deceased Archbishop, should hence-
forth be offered and made for the King (Henry VII.) , for his
mother (the Lady Margaret), and for others of his family.
Bourghchier's tomb is engraved by Dart on p. 163 of his History.
Cardinal John Morton during his lifetime erected in the
Crypt upon its south side, near the Chapel of our Lady in the
undercroft, a handsome canopied monument, with effigy of himself.
His cardinal's hat, his rebus of " Mort " (a bird) and a "tun,"
and the portcullis of Henry VII. are carved frequently upon his
monument. In 1499 the Prior and Convent granted promise of
frequent services in the Cathedral for his prosperity in life, and
for his soul after death. f A huge monumental brass, commemo-
rative of Cardinal Morton, was laid down in the floor of the Crypt
in front of the Altar of " Our Lady," and it still remains there
stripped of its brass ; but Mr. Duncombe states that when this
stone was lifted the space beneath it was empty, so that pi*obably
the Cardinal was buried beneath his Chantry tomb, south of the
Lady Chapel. Dart's engraving of Cardinal Morton's tomb is
found at p. 164 of his History.
William AVariiam died on the 3rd of August 1532, but in
March 1507 his Suffragan, Dr. John Thornton, Prior of Dover,
titular Bishop of Cirene, dedicated a new altar of stone, in the Mar-
tyrdom. In April, on Easter Day, the Archbishop's Chantry services
were commenced thereat. During the same year "Warham's tomb

was completed, and in August the new stone altar was placed
within its " Oratory." Tn September* this altar in its new position
was a second time dedicated by the same Bishop Suffragan. The
Archbishop was there buried in 1532, twenty-five years after his
tomb had been erected. This tomb is said to have been repaired
and rearranged by the Dean and Chapter in 1796-7 at a cost of
£160. Archbishop Warham's tomb is engraved in Dart's History
at p. 167 ; and we can therein see how differently it was arranged
before a.d. 1796.
Cardinal Reginald Pole's tomb remains in great simplicity
in the Corona, at the extreme east end of the Cathedral, on the
north side. The figure of St. Christopher, and beneath him two
distinct subjects, in the lowest of which were two angels bearing
shields with the Cardinal's arms, one shewing the arms of the See,
the other the Pole coat of eight quarterings, were formerly painted
upon the north wall, above his tomb. All these paintings have
disappeared, but the engraving in Dart's History, p. 170, shews
them.
Since the interment of Cardinal Pole no Archbishop has been
buried at Canterbury.

THE OLD CHURCH OE ST. MARTIN, AT
DOVER.
BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON.
The history of " Old St. Martin's," or the church of St.
Martin-le-Grand in (but now behind) the Market Square, at
Dover, is somewhat remarkable. It was at first a Collegiate
Church. Iu a.d. 691, Wihtred, King of Kent, removed the
College of Canons from Dover Castle into the town, where
he built for them a church dedicated to St. Martin. This
church was then accounted "a royal chapel/' and the canons
were increased in number, so that there were twenty-two of
them. These canons of St. Martin were so largely endowed,
that in the Domesday Survey their lands occupy a separate
and considerable place, under the heading " Terra Canoni-
corum S. Martini de DovreT Their church, built for them
originally by King Wihtred, in 691, could not well survive the
great fire which devastated Dover about a.d. 1066-67. So
terrible were the effects of this fire, upon the town of Dover,
that the Domesday Survey makes specific mention thereof.
It records that on King William's " first arrival in England
the town itself was burnt, and therefore its value could not
be computed, how much it was worth when the Bishop of
Baieux received it."
If the Saxon church was partially or entirely destroyed
by fire, a handsome Norman church must have been erected
circa a.d. 1070. Canon Puckle has proved that the site upon
which it was built had been occupied by Roman baths. He
found the actual floor of the Roman building, beneath part
of the east end, and north aisle, of the choir of Old St.
Martin's Church, and he traced Roman masonry in an ai^ch
of the north transept, see Archceoloyia Cantiana, XX., p. 121.
Fragments of the choir and transepts remain still behind the
houses on the west side of the market-place. The nave with
2(.X> THE OLD CHURCH or ST. MARTIN, AT DOVER.
its aisles was pulled down soon after ad. 1 .">:>(>. Its pews
were given by King Henry VIII. to tbe parish of St. Mary,
for use in St. Mary's Church. The Bite of the nave was used
as a churchyard for burials, and within it was interred the
body of Charles Churchill, the poet, in the year 1764.
The history of this Norman church between the years
1070 and L536 was not of the ordinary type. Its privileges
as a royal chapel were lost in a.d. 1130, when King Henry I.
granted it to Archbishop Corboil and his Priory of Christ
Church, at Canterbury. Archbishop Corboil and his successor,
Theobald, turned out the canons of St. Martin-le- Grand
on account of irregularities, and considering that the posi-
tion of that church within the town was to some extent
conducive to irregularities, a new priory and church were
erected outside the walls of Dover, and filled with Bene-
dictine monks. The new priory was endowed, by those
Archbishops, with all the property of the old canons of
St. Martin's. It obtained the name of St. Martin Newark
(that is, " of the new work"), while the ancient church in the
market-place was thenceforward known as Old St. Martin's,*
or St. Martin's-le-Grand.
This old church, from a.d. 1139 to a.d. 1536, had a
parochial character of a very peculiar kind. It was, like
many others, exempt from the jurisdiction of the Archdeacon
of Canterbury, and subject only to the Archbishop himself.
Archdeacon Richard de Ferringes endeavoured to exercise
jurisdiction over Old St. Martin's, but the Mayor and
Commonalty of Dover energetically disputed his claim, so
that in 1284 Archbishop Peckham issued a commission of
inquiry, whereat the matter was settled.
The incumbent of St. Martin's-le-Grand was called the
archpriest (archvpresbyter), like the incumbent of the parish
* It was styled " the Old Church of St. Martin " seven hundred years ago,
in a charter granted to the Priory of St. Martin Newark, by Archbishop
Richard, circa A.D. 1180. This charter confirms to the Priory " veteran
quoque ecclesiarn Beati Martini, cum parochiis, et libertatibus, et omnibus aliis,
sive in terra sive in mari ad ipsam juste pertinentiis ; ecclesiarn etiam Sanctse
Maria? ; ecclesiarn Sancti Petri ; ecclesiarn Sancti Jacobi ; quae in Burgo Dovorra
sitae sunt et fundatae," etc. (Dr. Sheppard's Litercc Cantuarienses, iii., 373).
THE OLD CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN, AT DOVER. 297
of Ulcombe in Kent ; but the extant Registers of the Arch-
bishops do not contain the record of any appointment to
this office. Evidently the church of the Newark Priory
of St. Martin assumed all the parochial rights, dues, and
duties of the Old Church of St. Martin. An Indulgence
mentions "fabricam parochialis ecclesie Sci. Martini Novi
Operis" {Reg. S. Martini, 52 '»).
The special peculiarity of Old St. Martin's Church in
Dover was, that in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, it
combined beneath its one roof the churches of three parishes.
They were those of St. Martin, St. Nicholas, and St. John
the Baptist. This peculiar arrangement continued even in
the time of Leland. He visited Dover before the death of
Henry VIII., and apparently before a.d. 1536. He says :
" The towne is devided into vi paroches, wherof iii be under
one rofe at S1 Martines yn the hart of the town." The
other three parishes were those of St. Mary, St. James, and
St. Peter, which are named in the Charter granted, circa
a.d. 1180, by Archbishop Richard, quoted in a note above.
A cathedral has in some cases contained the church of
one parish beneath its roof. At Rochester Cathedral, the
parish of St. Nicholas was permitted to use part of the
cathedral's nave as a parish church. The case of St. Faith
under St. Paul's, in London, is well known.
St. Martin-le- Grand, at Dover, is almost unique in its
peculiarity of having combined, within itself, three separate
churches of three distinct parishes. In Devonshire, the
parish of Tiverton was divided into four portions, each
having a rector, while there was but one church ; at Pontes-
bury, in Salop, there are three similar "portions," as there
were also, until recent times, at Bampton, Oxon., and at
Waddesdon, Bucks. The arrangement at Dover was far
more convenient than in those parishes. At St. Martin's-le-
Grand, each of the three incumbents had a separate high
altar, and a distinct area to occupy.
As time went on, all mention of the archpriest of St.
Martin's disappeared from the Archiepiscopal Registers.
Perhaps his office fell practically into abeyance after the
Primacy of Archbishop Courtenay. Thus, from 1384 to
2(.)S THE OLD CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN, AT DOVER.
L536, it may be that, practically, only two incumbents
occupied the large building. They were the incumbent of the
parish of St. Nicholas, and the incumbent of St. John the
Baptist's parish. Each of these incumbents was admitted and
instituted by the Archbishop to his office, and to the cure of
souls in his parish, but every entry of such admission and
institution states distinctly that the altar of St. Nicholas,
and the altar of St. John the Baptist, stood within the Old
Church of St. Martin. The absence of all mention of the
archpriest of St. Martin's for 150 years shews that the new
Priory's Church absorbed the rights and duties of Old
St. Martin's. His office comes into notice in a.u. 1511,
in a statement that its " wages " are too small to induce
any " honest preest " to accept it. The laity in Dover
still desired to maintain the fabric of the old church.
Two years later, in 1513, John Claryngbold, of St. Mary's
parish, bequeathed 3s. 4d. to the reparation of the " Church
of St. Martyn of Dovor " ; and John Clercke of St. James's
parish bequeathed 6s. 8d. to the same old church.
Architecturally the Old Church of St. Martin was noble.
A plan of its ruined east end was given, by Dr. Plumptre,
to the Kent Archaeological Society, and will be found in
Archceologia Cantiana, IV., opposite p. 27.
The structure, cruciform in plan, was undoubtedly grand
in its design and its proportions. The choir was apsidal ;
it had two choir-aisles, vaulted with tufa ; from its eastern
end projected three apsidal chapels. It possessed a triforium,
above which was the clerestory. Its three eastern apsidal
chapels were carried up into the triforium, so that upon
their site stood two tiers of chapels, six in all. It had tran-
septs north and south of the great central tower, and the
discoveries made, in 1892, by Mr. Edward W. Fry, prove that
these transepts had each a chapel projecting from its east
end.
When Archbishop Warham held his visitation in 1511,
it was found " that the church and steeple of Sl Martin are
unrepaired ; the which doeth great hurt to the Churche of
Seynt Nicholas." Also, that the church of St. Martin " is
THE OLD CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN, AT DOVER. 290
not served with more masses a day but the passage masse."
Also, that " the wages of th'archpreest of Seynt Martyns in
Dover is so small that noo honest preest will tary there, and
so Divine service is not dewly kept."
At the same visitation, the churchwardens of St. Nicholas's
parish reported " that the church of Seynt Martynes doeth
the parisshe churche of Seynt Nicholas great hurt in fawte
of reparation of the said church of Seynt Martynys." Also,
they complain " that the parson paieth a pension to the
Prior of Dover xjs. a yere, and the benefice is but v marks a
yere " (equivalent to £3 6s. 4d.).
The report made, in 1511, by the churchwardens of the third
parish (St. John the Baptist) shews that they had abandoned
all idea of attempting to have Divine service in their portion
of the grand old edifice. The churchwardens of St. John
say " that they have no preest to serve the church, but at
the parisshe fynding ; & the parish is in such debility that
it sufficeth not for a rector's sustenance." They add also
" that the parsonage [of Sl John's parish] is decayed bicause
there is noo parson and by reason of that is nyghe lost."
The reader will gather, even from these visitation pre-
sentments, that there had been a rector of St. Nicholas's
parish and a rector of St. John the Baptist's parish. The
records of the institutions of these clergymen are worded in
the peculiar manner which we should expect, when we know
that the high altar of St. Nicholas's Church and the high
altar of St. John's Church were both beneath the roof of St.
Martin's Church.
As an example we will translate from the register of
Archbishop Tslip (folio 253a) the record of collation of one
such rector : " On the 7th of the Kalends of April a.d. 1350,
at Mortlake, the most reverend Father, the Lord Simon, by
the grace of God archbishop of Canterbury, conferred on
Eichard, called ' of Woodstock,' a chaplain, the Rectory of
the Altar of S4 Nicholas in the Church of S* Martin at Dovor,
now vacant, and to his collation of full right belonging by
reason of the vacancy of the office of Prior of Dovor, and did
canonically institute him rector of the said altar," etc. In
300 THE OLD CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN, AT DOVER.
the register of Archbishop Arundel, Simon Passemer was
described as "curator* of the altar or iilturmjiinn of
S< Nicholas in the Old Church of S1 Martin at Dovor." He
exchanged that position with John Elewe, who, for it, gave
up the vicarage of St. John's in Thanet, August 26, 1400.
In the year 1445 John Lascyngham was instituted by Arch-
bishop Stafford " to the rectory, or portion, of the altar of
S* Nicholas in S' Martin's, Dovor." His successor John
Skales resigned in 1447 the incumbency of St. Nicholas,
which was given to a University graduate Master John Hunt
(Stafford's Register, fol. 94b). Mr. Skales then accepted the
incumbency of St. John the Baptist's altar with its cure of
souls, which he retained until 1469. The entry in Arch-
bishop Stafford's Register (folio 92b) employs these words : —
" . . . . Dominum Johannem Skales, capellanum, ad altare
Sancti Johannis Baptiste curatum, in ecclesia veteri Sancti
Martini, Dovorr. Cant, dioc, per liberam resignationem
Domini Johannis Goldsmyth, ultinii curati ibidem, vacans
.... Idemque admissus institutus fuit Rector sive curatus
in eodem, cum suis juribus et pertinentibus universis ....
Curam animarum," etc., etc.
In the Registers of the Mediaeval Archbishops of Canter-
bury, every admission of a rector of St. Nicholas, Dover,
or of a rector of St. John Baptist, Dover, is similarly
worded. Not one such entry omits to mention the con-
nection of these rectors with the Old Church of St. Martin.
About one-eighth of a mile south-east of Old St. Martin's
Church, there remained in Bench Street, until the end of the
last century, a mediaeval house with a tower, connected with
which was one of those vaulted basements, so common in
mediaeval houses, but by modern observers generally called a
crypt. This in the last century was dubbed " St. Nicholas
Church," and is so mentioned by Hasted in his History.
That this building was not the church of St. Nicholas, the
* Every entry of admission, to these peculiar parochial altars, contains
phrases which connect the cure of souls with the incumbency. In Archbishop
Bourgchier's Register (folio 96b) it is fully stated that when Thomas Smale was
instituted to the Rectory of the Altar of St. Nicholas in the Old Church of St.
Martin, " the cure of souls of the parishioners was committed to him."
THE OLD CIIUHCH OF ST. MARTIN, AT DOVER. 301
presentments of the churchwardens of St. Nicholas's Parish
clearly prove. They allege, in 1511, that the default in re-
paration of St. Martin's Church does the Parish Church of
St. Nicholas great hurt. This would have been impossible
unless the walls of the two churches were contiguous, or
common to both. In like manner, Hasted alludes to a
building, which had stood in Biggin Street, as the church of
St. John. The authentic records of the Archbishops, and
the ocular testimony of Leland, prove that up to circa 1520
the churches of St. Nicholas and St. John were so contiguous
to the ancient church of St. Martin-le- Grand as to justify
the assertion that they were all three under one roof.
As three apsidal chapels, at the east end of the choir of
Old St. Martin's Church, were surmounted by other three
upon a higher level (that of the triforium), those beneath
might well be distinguished as " sub volta." One of them
seems to have been so. Probably the central, or eastern-
most, chapel of the three was a Lady Chapel, containing the
altar of St. Mary-sub- volta. At all events, an " altar of St.
Mary-snb-volta," in the Old Church of St. Martin, was
dedicated by three bishops of Scotland. Pope Innocent III.
spoke of it as very poorly endowed. Pope Honorius III., in
a.d. 1226, granted an indulgence, for one-fourth part of their
crimes, and half their venial sins, truly confessed, to all pil-
grims visiting it on the anniversaries of its dedication (Regis-
tmm Set. Martini, Dovor, fol. 56b, in Lambeth MS. No. 241).
A century and a half later, in 1371, this chapel greatly
needed repair, and Cardinal Langham, who had been Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, and Pope Gregory XI., granted in-
dulgences of 100 days to every benefactor to the repair of
this altar (Ibid., 55a, 56a). This needy chapel was sustained
throughout the following century. In the year 1513, John
Byngham, of the parish of St. John the Baptist, in Dover,
made his will and desired to be buried within the church of
St. John the Baptist, which (as we have seen) was beneath
the same roof as Old St. Martin's. He bequeathed to the
" Light of Sl Hillary, before our Lady undercrofte 6 tapers,
every of them weying three quarters of a pounde of wax, to
be renewed yerely " during five years.
302 THE OLD CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN, AT DOVER.
Wills of old inhabitants of Dover prove that within the
precinct or area assigned to St. Nicholas's Parish Church there
was an altar dedicated to St. John of Byrlynglon. In 1519
Thomas a Barrowe expressed his wish to be buried in St.
Nicholas's Church, on the right hand of the altar of St. John
of Byrlyngton. Probably the saint in question was St.
John of Bridlington who was popular at the close of the
fourteenth century ; his translation took place on the 8th of
May 1404. This saint is not often heard of in Kent.
In the Priory Register and in the Registers of the Arch-
bishops, at Lambeth, I have examined records of the incum-
bencies of the following

The parish of St. Nicholas possessed some land in Dover
during the fourteenth century. It seems always to have been
better endowed than the similarly situated benefice of St.
John the Baptist in this Old Church of St. Martin. At the
Archbishop's visitation, in 1511, the procurations due to
his Grace were from the church of St. Nicholas 2s. 6d.,
and from the church of St. John Is. 8d. In like manner
the pension payable to the priory of St. Martin of the New
Work from the parish and " altarage " of St. John was only
6s. 8d. per annum j while the parish and " altarage " of St.
Nicholas had to pay lis. per annum to that priory. J
It seems that, although the western portion of Old St.
Martin's Church was pulled down in 1536, or soon after, its
altars were not removed until 1546. At that time the Cor-
poration began to let the site of the church and churchyard

\ Both parishes and churches had fallen into such decay, before 1536, that
when the J'alor Ecclesiasticus was compiled, it was therein distinctly stated
that the pensions due to St. Martin's Priory were no longer exacted because the
churches of St. Nicholas and St. John Baptist were so impoverished and decayed.

to tenants upon Leases, reserving, however, "a Bufficienl ami
lawful way to approach the burying ground from the market-
place." This way of approach to the burial-ground was
kept open as lately as the time of G-eorge IV.
The Corporation sold for Lio 2s. 6d. the Bilver-gill pyx
and bells of St. Martin's Church, in September 1548. Their
total weight was 52. $ ozs.
In July 1875, our Kent Archaeological Society visited the
site of Old St. Martin's Church, and saw relics of the north
aisle of the choir (in the yard of Mr. Gregory's house), the
groined roof of the western bay of that aisle (in Mr. Hum-
phrey's yard), and the north-east pier of the tower and
chancel-arch, with the triforium passage through that pier.
Early in 1892, in Market Street, upon clearing away the
floor and foundations of an old cottage, which stood on the
south side of the street, two graves were found hewn out of
the chalk. One grave was that of a priest, with whom had
been interred a coffin-chalice, and a paten, of pewter. The
date of these may be early in the thirteenth century, as Mr.
Franks and Mr. De Gray Birch think.
Close to this grave, on its north side, was part of the
north wall of the north chancel of Old St. Martin's Church.
Its Norman masonry was uncovered when the cottage was
removed. Further south, parallel with the two graves, was
seen part of a Norman turret staircase. It stood south-east
of the north transept of the Old Church, adjacent to the
north wall of the choir-aisle. No doubt the graves and
the stair-turret were at the west end of a small chapel or
chancel, which projected eastward from the north transept.
These features of the ancient church could not be seen in
1846, when the Rev. Dr. F. C. Plumptre, master of Uni-
versity College, Oxford, made a plan of the ruins, which
will be found fully described in vol. iv. of Archceologia
Cantiana, pp. 23-26. In fact, Mr. Plumptre wrote thus :
" So far as could be ascertained, there were not anyr traces
of projecting chapels in the transepts."
