A
TOPOGRAPHIE
:
OR
,
Survey
of
the
County
of
KENT
.
THis
County
of
Kent
is
scituate
at
the
South
East
part
or
corner
of
England
,
and
is
bounded
to
the
River
of
Thames
towards
the
North
,
to
the
German
Ocean
towards
the
North
and
East
,
to
the
narrow
Seas
toward
the
East
and
South
,
to
the
County
of
Sussex
towards
the
South
and
West
,
and
to
the
County
of
Surrey
towards
the
West
.
The
length
thereof
(
in
a
straight
line
)
from
the
West
part
of
Leusham
to
the
East
part
of
Saint
Peters
in
Thonet
is
about
52.
miles
.
But
in
the
middle
length
thereof
from
the
West
part
of
Bra●ed
to
the
East
part
of
Ringwold
;
it
is
but
about
47.
miles
.
And
through
the
middle
of
this
County
from
Newenden-Bridge
in
the
South
,
to
the
furthest
part
of
the
Isle
of
G●ean
in
the
North
,
the
breadth
is
about
27.
miles
.
The
circumserence
of
the
County
is
thus
,
viz.
from
the
West
and
of
Dep●ford
,
to
the
East
end
of
the
North
Foreland
in
the
Isle
of
Thanet
,
(
round
by
the
river
of
Thames
and
the
Sea
)
(
being
the
North
side
of
the
County
)
is
about
61.
miles
,
but
in
a
straight
line
,
the
same
is
but
about
51
:
miles
.
From
thence
about
to
the
corner
of
Dengenesse
(
being
the
East
side
)
is
about
38.
miles
,
But
(
in
a
straight
line
)
the
same
is
but
about
31.
miles
.
From
t●ence
about
to
th'
end
of
Cowden
(
being
the
south
side
)
is
about
39.
miles
,
but
in
a
straight
line
,
it
is
but
about
33.
miles
.
And
from
thence
about
to
the
aforesaid
end
of
Dep●ford
(
being
the
west
side
)
is
about
24.
miles
,
but
in
a
straight
line
the
same
is
but
about
21.
miles
.
So
the
whole
circum●erence
(
round
about
this
County
)
is
about
162.
miles
,
but
in
the
straight
lines
aforesaid
,
the
same
is
but
about
136.
miles
.
I
finde
severall
derivations
of
the
names
of
this
County
,
viz.
of
the
antient
name
Cantium
,
and
the
now
name
Kent
,
but
(
with
submission
to
better
judgments
)
I
rather
adhere
to
their
opinion
,
that
conceive
the
names
to
be
derived
from
the
scituation
of
the
place
(
viz.
in
a
nook
or
corner
of
England
,
antiently
called
a
Kant
or
Gantel
.
)
The
Inhabitants
of
this
County
were
sometimes
called
Eskins
,
which
name
arose
by
Eske
(
second
King
of
Kent
)
raigning
over
them
many
yeers
,
but
(
his
memory
vanishing
)
the
name
also
vanished
.
The
aire
of
this
County
(
other
than
the
weald
,
and
the
marshes
and
places
adiacent
thereunto
)
is
accounted
very
healthy
;
but
the
marshes
,
for
the
most
part
unhealthy
,
and
the
weald
,
and
places
adjoyning
to
the
marshes
not
generally
so
healthy
as
the
most
part
of
the
rest
of
the
County
.
The
commodious
scituation
of
this
County
may
justly
compare
with
(
if
not
exceed
)
any
other
part
of
the
Nation
(
the
same
being
scituate
neer
)
(
but
some
little
distance
from
)
London
(
the
chief
City
)
and
the
Thames
(
that
Soveraign
River
of
Britaine
)
watering
the
North
side
thereof
about
33.
miles
in
length
:
The
German
and
narrow
Seas
,
watering
the
North
East
,
and
South
sides
thereof
about
73.
miles
in
length
,
and
the
River
of
Rother
likewise
watering
the
South
side
thereof
about
11.
miles
in
length
.
It
also
having
severall
good
rivers
and
rivule●s
in
the
bowels
of
the
same
,
and
more
especially
(
towards
the
West
parts
thereof
)
Ravensborne
watering
the
same
9.
miles
,
Cray
8.
miles
,
and
Darent
16.
miles
;
famous
Medway
towards
the
middle
(
spreading
it self
into
severall
branches
)
watereth
the
same
about
85.
miles
,
and
Stoure
towards
the
East
parts
thereof
(
likewise
spreading
it self
into
severall
branches
)
watereth
the
same
about
60.
miles
;
By
which
Rivers
most
of
the
most
eminent
places
of
this
County
are
watered
,
and
navigation
maintained
to
the
principall
of
them
.
How
far
this
County
is
otherwise
equall
to
(
if
not
excelling
)
any
other
County
of
this
Nation
,
I
shall
offer
to
the
Readers
judgement
these
considerations
.
First
,
Concerning
Religion
,
I
know
that
Glastenbury
in
the
County
of
Somerset
doth
pretend
(
and
not
pretend
only
)
that
about
the
31th.
year
after
the
death
of
Christ
,
12.
of
the
Disciples
of
the
Apostle
Philip
(
of
which
Ioseph
of
Arimathea
was
cheif
)
came
into
this
Nation
,
and
tendred
the
knowledge
of
Christian
Religion
to
Arviragus
then
King
thereof
)
(
which
though
he
consented
not
to
embrace
)
yet
he
permitted
them
to
have
a
Church
at
this
Glastenbury
,
and
there
began
the
plantation
of
Christian
Religion
in
this
land
(
which
being
admitted
)
yet
it
likewise
appeareth
▪
That
(
for
many
years
)
the
same
had
but
little
successe
of
en●●●ale
and
no
King
of
this
Nation
embraced
the
same
,
till
King
Lucius
(
who
raigned
about
150.
years
afterwards
,
and
built
a
Church
in
Dover
Castle
in
this
County
,
for
the
exercise
of
Christian
Religion
,
from
whence
may
be
inferred
,
that
that
Religion
was
the
embraced
here
,
But
most
part
of
the
Nation
revolting
f●om
that
Religion
,
and
becoming
Pagans
till
the
year
596.
(
In
the
time
of
the
Heptarchy
)
Augustine
the
Monk
was
sent
from
Pope
Gregory
,
to
convert
this
Na●ion
to
the
Christian
faith
,
and
first
landed
in
this
County
,
and
converted
and
baptised
many
of
the
people
of
the
same
,
and
likewise
converted
Ethelbert
,
(
then
King
thereof
)
who
upon
Whitsunday
in
the
year
597.
was
by
him
here
baptised
,
was
the
first
Christian
Saxon
King
,
and
this
County
was
the
first
County
that
generally
received
the
Christian
faith
;
afterwards
Edwin
(
King
of
the
Northumbers
Marrying
from
hence
Edelburg
(
Daughter
of
the
said
King
Ethelbert
)
Paulinus
(
afterwards
Bishop
of
Rochester
)
went
from
hence
with
her
into
her
husbands
Kingdome
(
for
the
conversion
of
the
people
thereof
)
where
in
some
part
he
prevailed
,
but
in
the
year
633.
(
Edwin
being
slain
)
that
people
revolted
from
that
Religion
,
and
Paulinus
was
forced
to
returne
again
hither
,
and
Christian
Religion
was
again
(
as
it
were
)
confined
to
this
County
,
Nor
were
succession
of
Christian
Bishops
in
this
Nation
(
other
than
of
Canterbury
and
Rochester
(
both
in
this
County
)
for
many
years
afterwards
,
and
instrumentally
from
thence
sprang
the
after-conversion
of
the
rest
of
the
Nation
to
the
Christian
faith
;
But
the
conversion
of
the
West
Saxons
(
with
in
whose
Dominion
Glastenbury
was
)
was
not
till
about
40.
years
after
the
conversion
of
this
County
(
At
which
time
Kingils
their
King
was
converted
and
baptised
by
Byrinus
an
Italian
Bishop
.
This
County
(
as
before
appeareth
)
had
in
it
two
Bishops
Seas
(
one
whereof
,
viz.
Canterbury
,
was
the
Primate
and
Metropolitan
of
all
England
:
And
his
Church
very
anciently
called
the
Nurse
and
Metropolis
of
the
same
)
By
which
,
and
by
what
is
hereafter
said
,
may
be
collected
th●t
the
rise
of
that
common
proverbe
(
Kent
and
Christendome
)
was
not
(
as
vulgarly
mistaken
)
that
Kent
was
conceived
diffinct
from
Christendome
,
but
that
it
was
famous
as
Kent
,
and
famous
as
Christendome
.
Secondly
,
Concerning
the
ancient
dignity
and
considerableness
of
this
County
:
In
the
time
of
Iulius
Caesar
(
about
1700.
years
since
)
it
was
in
Four
petty
Kingdomes
,
governed
by
Four
Kings
(
viz.
Cingetorix
,
Cavilius
,
Taximagulus
,
and
Segonax
.
)
Afterwards
King
Vortigern
(
about
1200.
years
since
)
set
over
the
same
a
Guorong
or
Vice-Roy
.
Afterwards
,
this
was
the
first
of
the
Kingdomes
of
the
Heptarchy
,
and
no
one
County
of
England
had
a
King
of
it self
but
this
(
whose
Kingdome
began
about
the
year
455.
and
continued
about
372.
years
,
in
the
succession
of
17.
Kings
.
)
By
that
learned
Antiquary
Mr.
Camden
,
it
is
called
the
key
of
England
,
and
in
it
is
Four
of
the
Cinque
portes
of
this
Nation
(
viz.
Sandwich
,
Dover
,
New
Romney
,
and
Hith
)
as
also
that
famous
Castle
of
Dover
,
the
confiderableness
whereof
Phillip
King
of
France
well
weighing
,
when
(
in
the
time
of
King
Hen.
3.
)
Lewes
his
son
,
had
took
divers
townes
and
fortes
in
England
,
and
hearing
that
he
could
not
take
this
Castle
(
the
same
being
valiantly
defended
by
Hubert
de
Burgh
)
protested
that
then
his
son
had
not
one
foot
of
land
in
England
.
Thirdly
,
The
civility
of
the
people
(
still
treading
in
the
steps
of
their
Ancestors
)
who
in
the
time
of
the
aforesaid
Iulius
Caesar
were
by
him
accounted
,
and
so
stiled
,
the
most
civilized
people
of
all
this
Nation
:
Fourthly
,
For
the
ancient
valour
of
the
people
of
this
County
,
they
claime
,
and
are
allowed
the
front
in
Battailes
.
And
they
onely
of
all
England
obteyned
and
reteyne
the
name
of
VNCONQVERED
:
For
(
as
if
all
the
antient
English
valour
were
remaining
in
them
)
they
only
resisted
King
William
the
Conquerour
,
(
when
all
other
Counties
submitted
)
and
(
capl●ulating
with
him
)
reserved
to
themselves
and
their
posterity
,
their
antient
Customes
and
Liberties
.
Fifthly
,
Which
is
the
next
confideration
offered
,
viz.
Generally
the
tenures
of
the
lands
in
this
County
,
are
(
if
not
the
freest
)
yet
as
free
tenures
as
any
in
England
.
Sixthly
,
The
royal
Navy
usually
riding
in
the
Downes
of
this
County
,
in
which
County
also
are
those
three
famous
Shipdocks
of
Deptford
,
Woolwich
,
and
Chetham
;
in
the
two
first
whereof
,
the
principall
part
of
the
Royall
Navy
is
usually
repaired
,
and
in
the
last
,
the
same
is
usually
also
repaired
,
and
laid
up
.
Seventhly
,
Four
houses
lately
belonging
to
the
Kings
of
England
,
viz.
East
Greenwich
,
Eltham
,
Otford
,
and
Dartford
.
Eighthly
,
The
severall
good
commodities
for
the
use
of
man
,
with
which
it
is
richly
furnished
and
famous
for
,
viz.
1.
Plenty
of
Fowl
and
Fish
of
all
sorts
(
by
advantage
of
the
aforesaid
Seas
and
fresh
Rivers
.
)
2.
Fertil
lands
,
for
feeding
cattle
of
all
sorts
(
and
more
especially
those
famous
levels
of
Romney
,
and
Walland
Marsh.
)
3.
The
Drapery
of
this
County
,
which
hath
here
continued
for
above
three
hundred
and
twenty
years
;
towards
which
the
bowels
of
this
County
are
well
stored
with
Fullers
earth
,
and
many
fulling
mills
not
far
distant
from
the
same
.
4.
The
Fruit
(
plentifully
sent
from
hence
to
the
chief
City
,
London
,
and
places
adjacent
.
)
5.
The
great
plenty
of
grain
(
of
all
sorts
)
growing
therein
,
and
more
especially
in
the
North
,
and
East
parts
of
the
same
.
6.
The
Plenty
of
wood
,
but
more
especially
in
the
Weald
,
wherein
also
are
many
Iron
mills
,
floring
with
Iron
London
,
and
the
other
places
adjacent
Some
Chronologers
affirm
that
King
Alfred
divided
this
Nation
(
and
among
the
rest
this
part
thereof
)
into
Shires
,
Counties
,
or
Provinces
;
but
that
is
controverted
by
others
,
and
alledged
that
it
was
so
divided
shortly
after
the
inhabiting
of
this
Island
,
and
in
the
tra●●●
of
the
time
of
King
Ina
(
which
was
above
180.
years
before
King
Alsred
)
there
is
●●ntion
of
Shires
,
and
so
that
of
King
Alfred
may
(
as
to
this
purpose
)
be
only
some
plaine●
de●●ription
of
the
former
division
;
And
for
this
County
,
it
appeareth
(
by
what
is
before
)
That
the
same
was
a
distinct
Province
many
hundred
years
before
King
Alfred
was
borne
(
●ut
his
subdividing
the
same
into
hundreds
,
and
them
into
Boroughs
or
〈◊〉
is
not
denied
.
(
Before
the
time
of
this
King
Alfred
)
about
1000.
years
since
(
In
the
time
of
E●comber●
the
7th.
King
of
Kent
)
Honorius
Archo●shop
of
Cant●rbury
divided
that
●ingdome
into
Parishes
.
And
45.
Edward
the
3.
(
upon
occasion
of
raising
a
great
summe
of
money
for
aid
of
the
King
for
the
wars
in
France
,
by
a
Parochiall
tax
throughout
England
)
the
number
of
the
Parishes
therein
were
examined
,
and
in
this
County
sound
to
be
393.
Of
so
many
whereof
as
are
now
extant
,
as
also
of
those
which
have
been
since
added
(
being
in
all
404.
)
I
shall
now
proceed
to
treate

of
the
Churches
,
and
old
Religious

therein
;
and
of
the

lying

;
I
had
thoughts
of
forbearing
inlargement
thereupon
;
yet
(
for
that
I
find
not
severall
things
touching
the
same
,
there
fully
set
down
,
&
find
also
some
other
things
omitted
)
I
shall
therefore
therein
give
the
Reader
some
further
account
.
And
first
touching
that
which
is
of
most
dignity
(
the
Castle
)
The
same
in
the
time
of
Cassibelanus
,
Governour
of
Britain
(
about
1700.
years
since
)
was
(
by
the
command
of
Iulius
Caesar
)
built
according
to
the
Romane
order
(
to
keep
the
Britains
in
subjection
)
and
thereupon
was
called
Caesars
Castle
,
and
the
Romans
Court
,
and
so
continued
for
about
80.
years
;
at
which
time
(
the
same
being
in
decay
)
Arviragus
(
King
of
Britain
)
having
possessed
it
,
reedified
&
inlarged
the
same
,
&
fortified
it
against
the
Romanes
(
calling
it
Ledonnegio
)
and
he
stopped
the
antient
Haven
(
whereby
the
name
of
the
place
was
afterwards
called
De
à
Fore
,
or
stopt
before
,
or
stop
out
;
and
since
(
by
contraction
)
Dovor
;
yet
I
finde
by
others
the
name
to
be
derived
from
the
British
word
Dufyrr●ae
(
signifying
a
place
steep
and
upright
)
as
the
●cituation
of
the
same
is
)
and
by
others
,
Dur
or
Dour
the
common
name
(
among
the
Britains
)
for
all
Waters
(
touching
which
,
I
leave
the
Reader
to
his
election
.
)
This
Castle
after
falling
to
decay
,
was
repaired
by
Withred
King
of
Kent
(
about
950.
years
since
)
and
at
the
coming
in
of
King
William
the
Conquerour
was
(
on
the
behalf
of
King
Harold
)
kept
against
him
by
Stephen
Ashborneham
(
a
Baron
)
and
Alan
of
Evering
his
Lieurenant
,
but
(
the
same
being
taken
by
the
Conquerour
)
they
were
both
beheaded
,
and
afterwards
that
King
made
Iohn
Lord
Fynes
(
his
kinsman
)
Constable
thereof
by
inheritance
,
gave
him
very
many
Knights
fees
,
for
his
better
mainteyning
of
the
same
,
and
the
said
Constable
afterwards
made
the
work
on
the
hanger
of
the
hill
there
,
and
also
made
eight
chief
Captains
or
Lieutenant
Governours
of
this
Castle
whose
names
do
follow
)
and
to
them
such
Knights
fees
were
assigned
,
and

men
in
the
same
for
the
Guard
thereof
(
which
Guard
was
so
kept
for
fear
of
the
Danes
,
and
by
reason
of
the
distrust
which
that
King
had
of
the
men
of
this
County
)
and
these
Captains
built
and
repaired
their
severall
Towers
in

King

afterwards
recompenced
the

took
it
into
his
hands
,
and
afterwards
(
in
the
time
of
King
Hen.

)
this
personall
service
of
Castle-guard
was
turned
into
a
contributory
payment
of
money
(
towards
guarding
the
Castle
)
and
sworne
Warders
were
appointed
for
that
service
,
and
in
those
dayes
there
belonged
to
the
same
many
Souldiers
(
both
Horse

)
and
therefore
the
Arches
,
Vaults
,
and
Barbicans
were
made
there
for
them
to
issue
out
at
.
This
Castle
afterwards
fell
again
to
decay
,
but
(
in
the
times
of
King
Hen.
4.
King
Edw.
4.
and
Queen
Elizabeth
)
much
cost
was
bestowed
in

thereof
(
and
more
especially
in

time
of
King
Edw.
4.
In
the

is
a
Church
,
founded
by
King

(
otherwise
Lucius

)
above
1400
years
since
,
in
which
Sir

a
person
of

The

aforesaid
is
said
to
have
been
begun
in
the
time
of
the
said
King
Lucius
,
but
more
certain
it
is
that
Eadbald
(
King
of
Kent
)
erected
the
same
,
and
it
was
afterwards
removed
from
thence
by
King
Withred
into
the
Towne
,
There
were
antiently
in
this
Castle
a

In

likewise
antiently
was

a

(
called

afterwards
the
Kings

(
excellent

a●
not

(

reported
to
be

by
the
Emperour
.
This
Castle
(
esteemed
the
most
important
Castle
of
England
,
and
key
of
the
same
)
was
valiantly
defended
by
Hubert
de
Burgh
(
Constable
thereof
)
against
Lewes
sonne
of
Phillip
King
of
France
(
who
besieged
the

22

Iulij

and
continued
the
siege
〈…〉
Octob.

(

Now
as
touching
the
Town●
(
which
shortly
after
the
coming
of
King
William
the
Conquerour
was
much
defaced
by
fire
,
and
afterwards
in
the
year
1295.
was
again
spoyled
,
and
part
thereof
burned
by
the
French
)
I
find
that
(
in
the
time
of
King
Edward
the
Confessor
)
the
Townesmen
were
called
Burgesses
,
and
it
is
conceived
that
they
were
antiently
incorporated
by
the
name
of
Mayor
and
Commonalty
(
out
of
which
Commonalty
the
Mayor
was
chosen
)
and
then
the
Mayor
(
out
of
the
Commonalty
)
chose
Assistants
for
his
year
(
who
were
sworne
for
that
purpose
)
and
that
from
thence
the
word
Iurat
(
now
common
to
the
Magistrates
in
the
Cinque
Ports
)
was
derived
,
and
in
the
Raigne
of
King
Edward
the
first
this
Corporation
was
stiled
Mayor
and
Commonalty
.
The
antient
(
and
yet
)
time
of
election
of
the
Mayor
was
,
and
is
,
yearly
in
the
afternoon
of
the
ninth
day
of
September
(
being
the
next
day
after
the
day
of
the
Nativity
of
St.
Mary
)
antiently
in
St.
Peter's
Church
,
but
(
that
Church
decaying
)
it
was
afterwards
,
and
still
is
,
in
St.
Maries
Church
.
The
Towne
(
at
the
first
beginning
of
the
same
to
flourish
)
began
to
be
much
builded
on
the
South-west-side
thereof
,
whereas
before
the
stopping
of
the
haven
by
King
Arvi●agus
(
as
is
before
set
forth
)
the
Towne
was
under
the
Castle
,
the
Market
at
a
place
called
Vpmarket
,
and
the
hous●s
were
where
the
closes
of
a

called
the
Horse

,
the
Garnet-close

Pigeon-house
,

The
Colledge
(

)
to
be

was
(
above
950.
years
since
)
removed
thence
(
by
With●ed
King
of
Kent
)
into
this
Town
,
called
St.

,
and
dedicated
to
St.

and
St.
Martin
;
and
a
Church
was
there
also
founded
(
which
Church
King

1.
(
in
the

1130.
)
gave
to
Christ-church
Canterbury
;
It
was
the

had
to
it
three
other
Churches
,
viz.
St.

;
It
had
in

founded
another

.
At

of
this

,
in

,
called
,
Meson

;
dedicated
to
the
honour
of
St.

,
and
by
the

,
afterwards
given

After

,
this

by
King
Hen.
8.
and
Queen

appointed
for
the
Victual●ng
of
the

Offices
there
built

.
At

IN

not

for

twenty
eight
years
last

(
Gods
Providence
having
also
there
lent
me

I
thought
fit
to
enlarge
my selfe
upon
this
place

thereby
to
preserve
the
memory
of
some
things
which
may
be
usefull

This
Parish
was
in
the
Deanry
of
Charing
,
and
Diocess
of
Canterbury
.
The
Church
standeth
in
the
Hundred
of
great
Barnfeild
,
and
was
called
St.
Laurence
.
This
Parish
is
very
populous
,
and
one
of
the
greatest
Parishes
in
the
County
(
not
having
a
Town
therein
)
and
it
so
appeared
to
be
,
for
that
antiently
upon
Collection
of
the
number
of
Communicants
in
every
parish
in
the
County
(
onely
foure
Parishes
in
the
same
)
viz.
Maidstone
Cranbrooke
,
Feversham
,
and
Goudherst
(
all
which
have
Townes
in
them
)
were
found
to
have
more
Communicants
in
them
than
this
,
and
the
same
had
(
within
20.
years
last
past
)
at
the
least
,
1400.
Communicants
,
but
it
hath
very
many
poor
therein
(
the
charge
whereof
in
the
year
,
1653.
was
209l
.
9s.
3d.
whereas
in
the
year
1549.
)
it
was
but
,
7s.
2d
.
and
although
the
parsonage
of
the
same
be
of
very
good
yearly
value
,
yet
it
hath
for
many
years
past
been
,
and
for
the
future
will
be
a
great
cause
of
sadnesse
to
the
place
,
that
the
allowance
for
the
maintenance
of
the
Minister
thereof
is
very
small
,
which
thus
happened
.
The
Abbot
of
Battel
was
Patron
of
the
Church
,
and
(
till
the
dissolution
,
or
surrender
of
that
Abbey
)
there
was
always
a
Rector
incumbent
,
of
one
of
which
number
(
viz.
Iohn
Crane
)
a
monument
in
brasse
(
mentioning
the
same
)
was
till
of
late
times
,
upon
a
faire
tombe-stone
,
in
the
great
Chancell
of
this
Church
,
and
one
Henry
Simons
(
at
the
time
of
the
appropriation
herein
after
mentioned
)
was
Parson
incumbent
there
,
But
(
Trint

30.
Hen.

The
Abbey
being
surrendred
to
the
King
)
be
19.
Mar●ij
that
year
granted
the
Patronage
and
Presentation
of
the
Rectory
to
Charles
Brandon
(
Duke
of
Suffolk
)
and
that
King
(
11.
December
.
38.
of
his
raigne
)
granted
the
Parsonage
to
the
Dean
,
and
Chapter
of
Christ-church
Oxford
,
and
appropriated
the
same
thereunto
(
immediately
after
the
death
of
the
said
Simons
the
incumbent
)
and
appointed
that
the
said
Dean
and
Chapter
should
present
an
able
Clarke
to
the
Ordinary
(
who
should
be
named
perpetuall
Vicar
of
this
Church
)
and
should
bear
all
charges
(
except
reparation
of
the
Chancell
)
and
should
have
a
dwelling
,
12l.
10s
10d
.
yearly
pension
,
and
should
pay
the
King
yearly
,
for
his
tenths
,
258.
1d
.
and
be
charged
with
first-fruits
(
which
being
done
without
the
consent
of
the
said
Duke
,
and
no
act
done
by
him
therein
(
that
appeareth
,
no
Vicar
was
endowed
)
but
the
Office
of
Curate
,
was
(
ever
since
)
given
by
the
said
Dean
and
Chapter
as
a
Donative
,
and
no
first-fruits
were
paid
,
but
onely
118.
8d
.
as
a
stipendiary
.
Afterwards
the
said
Dean
,
and
Chapter
(
10.
Febura●
2.
and
3.
of
King
Phillip
,
and
Queen
Mary
)
granted
to
Sir
.
William
Peter
,
81
per.
annum
.
out
of
the
Parsonage
(
so
to
be
imployed
)
that
the
Church-Wardens
of
this
Parish
might
receive
,
and
pay
it
to
the
Vicar
)
But
Edward
Godwin
(
the
late
Stipendary
incumbent
)
had
of
the
said
Dean
and
Chapter
(
for
his
Salary
)
20l.
per.
annum
,
the
profits
of
the
Easter
book
(
which
then
was
of
some
value
)
some
roomes
in
the
Parsonage
house
(
called
the
Vicarage
roomes
)
a
small
croft
(
called
the
vicarage
croft
)
and
the
herbage
of
the
Church-yard
(
all
which
was
of
so
inconsiderable
value
,
that
upon
his
being
sequestred
about
13.
years
since
)
no
other
would
accept
of
the
place
,
but
the
Parish
was
destitute
of
a
minister
by
the
space
of
14.
months
following
,
and
then
the
Pa●ishioners
were
inforced
(
to
their
great
charge
)
to
provide
a
Minister
:
But
(
not
being
able
to
bear
that
charge
longer
)
an
augmentation
was
procured
from
the
state
(
which
in
few
years
afterwards
was
taken
away
)
and
the
former
allowance
left
to
the
Minister
for
his
maintenance
,
which
(
by
reason
that
the
Easter
book
is
become
of
no
value
)
is
but
24l
.
per.
annum
.
(
at
the
most
)
whereupon
how
this
Parish
hath
since
been
supplyed
with
a
Minister
,
and
is
like
to
be
for
the
future
)
the
Reader
may
judge
.
The
Church
was
founded
by
the
Abbot
of
Battle
(
in
the
raigne
of
King
Edw.
3.
)
whose
armes
,
and
his
sonns
are
at
the
top
of
the
furthest
of
the
three
North
windows
in
the
North
chappell
or
chancell
there
,
and
the
armes
of
the
Abbey
of
Battle
;
and
of
Etchingham
,
and
Pashley
,
two
antient
(
and
then
eminent
familie
▪
)
in
the
Parishes
adjoyning
(
viz
Etchingham
,
and
Tiseherst
)
are
in
glasse
at
the
top
of
the
fi●st
of
the
said
three
windowes
,
and
upon
the
great
beam
,
at
the
top
of
the
said
Chancell
,
was
carved
the
armes
of
Congherst
(
a
very
antient
family
in
this
Parish
)
whose
house
,
of
that
name
,
and
inheritance
in
this
Parish
(
about
100.
years
since
)
came
to
the
family
of
Scot
,
by
the
mariage
of
Thomas
Scot
with
Mildred
(
daughter
and
heir
of
Thomas
Congherst
)
and
is
still
remaining
in
that
family
,
But
●●e
more
antient
seat
of
that
family
of
Congherst
,
was
at
a
place
,
in
this
Parish
(
neer
the
County
of
Sussex
)
yet
called
old
Congherst
(
which
was
burned
by
the
Danes
)
and
the
Mote
and
manner
of
scituation
of
the
house
is
still
there
extant
.
In
this
Chappell
also
(
in
the
North
Windowes
of
the
same
)
are
the
pictures
in
glasse
,
of
twelve
men
and
their
wives
kneeling
.
viz.
three
at
the
bottom
of
each
of
the
said
three
Windowes
,
and
three
at
the
top
of
the
middle
of
the
said
three
windowes
.
These
windowes
having
been
broken
,
and
more
especially
of
late
,
what
was
written
under
most
of
them
is
not
legible
,
only
it
appeareth
;
that
the
Christian
name
of
the
first
was
Robert
,
and
that
the
second
of
them
was
Ioane
,
wife
of
the
said
Robert
,
and
Simon
their
son
,
principall
Founder
of
that
Chappell
,
who
the
third
was
,
is
not
legible
,
the
fourth
was
Ockley
,
the
fifth
was
Delmynden
,
the
sixth
was
Siesley
,
the
seventh
was
Cockshot
,
the
eighth
was
Badcock
,
and
the
ninth
was
Bartilt
,
but
who
the
other
three
were
,
viz.
those
at
the
top
of
the
middle
window
,
is
not
legible
;
By
tradition
,
these
twelve
are
reported
to
be
owners
of
the
twelve
Denns
,
which
are
held
of
Wye
,
but
that
cannot
be
,
for
that
onely
seven
of
the
said
twelve
,
are
in
this
Parish
,
and
it
is
(
as
aforesaid
)
yet
discernable
,
That
three
of
them
were
Ockley
,
Cockshot
and
Badcock
,
none
of
which
were
of
the
said
twelve
Denns
(
though
very
antient
inhabitants
in
this
Parish
)
but
I
rather
conceive
them
to
be
twelve
principal
inhabitants
in
this
Parish
,
at
the
time
of
the
foundation
of
that
Church
.
In
the
great
Window
of
the
middle
Chancell
,
were
lately
the
pictures
(
well
made
in
glasse
)
of
the
good
Kings
of
Israel
,
and
of
the
Prophets
in
their
times
(
but
lately
spoiled
,
and
defaced
.
)
There
is
also
in
this
Church
,
a
memoriall
of
the
interment
there
of
the
family
of
Boys
,
a
family
of
cheif
esteem
in
this
Parish
,
both
at
present
,
and
for
severall
discents
before
,
whose
ancestor
(
about
88.
years
since
)
came
into
this
Parish
to
a
fair
seat
(
neer
this
Church
)
by
him
purchased
of
Edmund
Roberts
(
whose
father
Iohn
Roberts
was
above
100.
years
since
)
buried
at
the
foot
of
the
reading
deske
in
this
Church
,
with
an
effigies
,
and
inscription
of
brasse
upon
him
lately
taken
away
.
In
the
South
Chancell
of
this
Church
was
antiently
the
image
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
and
severall
tapers
or
lights
were
also
in
this
Church
(
called
the
beam
light
,
the
paschall
light
,
Iudas
candles
,
St.
Iames
light
,
and
Saint
Laurence
light
,
over
the
North
Porch
of
this
Church
,
is
a
roome
(
antiently
called
the
Treasury
)
wherein
were
and
still
are
(
laid
up
in
a

)
severall
antient
writings
concerning
the
tenants
of
the
twelve
Dens
(
in

divided

the
river
ran
,
about

which
old
bridge
being
taken

the

turned

run
under
the
now
bridge
,
the
broad
place
(
between
the
now
b●idge
,
and
that
narrow
place
)
seemeth
to
be
in
Saleherst
in

is
in

This

By

being

Queen

rest●red

made

a

The
Town
in
respect
of
the
scituation
,
and
conveniency
of
receipt
,
hath
been
accounted
the
fittest
place
for
publique
meeting
of
the
County
;
And
that
this
part
of
the
County
was
long
since
accounted
the
most
convenient
place
for
the
whol
County
to
assemble
at
,
appeareth
by
the
County
Court
,
most
usually
kept
at
Penenden
,
otherwise
Pickenden
Hoth
(
about

where
also
the
Knights
of

Shi●e
(
to
serve
in
Parliament
)
have
been
usually
elected
(
as
is
before
set
forth
in
Boxley
)
which
Hoth
was
also
(
in
the
time
of
King
William
the
Conquerour
)
esteemed
the
most
indifferent
place
of
assembly
of
the
Inhabitants
of
the
County
,
for
dispatch
of

business
,
as
may
appear
by

of
the
Controversy
between
Odo
Earle
of
Kent
,

This

(

one
of

Counnty
Gaoles
is
here
kept
,
and
although
(
as
I
have
before
set
forth
)
the
Assises
were
in
the
time
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
very
often
holden
out
of
this
Town
;
yet
I
also
observe
that
in
those
dayes
the
same
were
here
holden
much
oftner
than
in
all
the
places
of
the
County
,
(
Rochester
excepted
)
where
the
truth
is
,
the
same
were
in
those
dayes
holden
two
or
three
times
at
the
most
oftner
than
here
:
But
for
how
much
the
same
were
oftner
here
,
than
at
any
other
place
in
the
County
,
since
the
death
of
that
Queen
,
which
is
above
fifty
five
years
since
,
I
referre
the
Reader
to
what
I
have
before
set
forth
.
The
whole
building
,
where
the
Court
for
trials
of
Nisi
Prius
is
kept
,
was
raised
from
the
ground
about
fifty
years
since
,
there
being
no
building
at
that
place
before
,
but
that
Court
kept
neer
that
place
under
a
shed
,
for
that
purpose
,
from
time
to
time
set
up
.
The
Archbishops
of
Canterbury
were
great
Benefactors
to
the

are
several
things
worthy
to
be
inlarged
upon
,
viz.
the
Castle
,
the
City
,
the
Cathedral
and
Priory
,
and
the
Bridge
;
of
all
which
in
order
.
And
first
of
the
Castle
,
Iulius
Caesar
about
1700.
years
since
,
in
the
time
of
Cassibelanus
Governour
of
Britain
,
commanded
the
same
to
be
built
(
according
to
the
Romane
order
)
to
awe
the
Britains
,
and
the
same
was
called
the
Castle
of
Medway
,
but
time
and
tempests
utterly
decaying
the
same
;
Oes●
or
Vske
,
King
of
Kent
,
about
1150.
years
since
,
caused
Hroff
one
of
his
chief
Councellours
,
and
Lord
of
this
place
)
to
build
a
new
Castle
upon
the
old
foundation
,
and
hereupon
it
took
the
name
of
Hroffes
Cester
.
About
350
years
afterwards
Hasting
the
Dane
besieged
,
and
much
impaired
the
same
:
And
it
afterwards
lay
desolate
,
till
the
time
of
King
William
the
Conquerour
(
who
caused
it
to
be
new
built
,
and
put
500.
souldiers
(
for
a
guard
)
therein
:
To
which
work
Odo
(
Earle
of
Kent
,
and
brother
of
that
King
)
was
a
great
Bene●actor
.
Afterwards
,
in
the
year
1088.
in
the
time
of
King
W.
Rufus
,
That
Odo
and
other
Barous
held
this
Castle
against
him
:
(
the
same
being
then
accounted
the
strongest
,
and
most
important
Castle
of
England
.
)
And
his
subjects
being
backward
to
assist
him
:
He
proclaimed
him
to
be
accounted
a
Niding
(
which
was
then
a
word
of
high
reproach
)
that
came
not
to
his
assistance
:
whereupon
multitudes
came
▪
and
the
resistants
were
forced
to
yeeld
the
same
to
the
King
:
And
Gun●ulphus
,
a
Norman
,
then
Bishop
of
Ro●hester
,
repaired
and
fortified
the
same
,
and
built
the
great
Tower
therein
.
Afterwards
in
the
17.
year
of
King
Iohn
the
Barons
held
this
Castle
against
him
,
but
he
took
the
same
:
And
in
the
year
following
Lewes
(
son
of
Philip
King
of
France
)
likewise
took
the
same
:
And
King
Hen.
3.
afterwards
gave
it
to
Guy
of
Rochford
(
a
P●ictovin
)
who
was
afterwards
banished
,
and
thereby
lost
the
same
.
Afterwards
(
in
the
year
1264.
)
Simon
Earle
of
Leicester
besiedged
the
same
,
and
won
the
Bridge
and
fi●st
gate
,
and
then
left
the
siege
.
Afterwards
5.
Rich.
2.
the
Commons
of
this
County
strongly
besieged
this
Castle
,
and
by
force
took
a
prisoner
out
of
the
same
:
And
thus
this
Castle
ran
to
decay
,
and
(
the
old
walls
afterwards
f●lling
)
King
Edw.
4.
repaired
both
the
same
and
the
Castle
.
As
concerning
the
City
.
I
find
it
to
have
been
of
very
great
Antiquity
,
but
hath
had
several
great
misfortunes
;
for
about
980.
years
since
,
the
same
was
wasted
by
Ethelred
,
King
of
the
Mercians
.
About
200.
years
afterwards
,
it
was
assaulted
by
the
Danes
(
who
made
a
st●ong
Castle
before
the
gate
thereof
,
but
were
chased
away
by
the
then
King
Aelfred
.
About
1●0
.
years
afterwards
,
it
was
assaulted
,
and
subdued
by
King
Ethelred
,
the
West
Saxon
King
.
Afterwards
7.
May
1130.
the
same
was
much
defaced
by
fire
(
King
Hen.
1.
and
many
of
his
Nobles
then
being
present
at
the
Consecration
of
the
Cathedral
Church
there
.
)
3.
Iune
1137.
the
same
was
again
(
almost
all
)
consumed
with
fire
.
The
like
againe
happened
there
3.
April
.
1177.
So
that
It
continued
desolate
till
the
time
of
King
Hen.
3.
at
which
time
it
was
again
repaired
.
I
finde
but
one
Parish
and
Church
to
have
been
here
,
more
than
now
is
,
and
that
was
called
St.
Clement
,
which
in
the
time
of
King
Edw.
6.
was
,
by
Parliament
,
united
unto
the
aforesaid
Parish
of
St.
Nicholas
.
I
finde
also
three
Mint
Houses
,
to
have
been
granted
by
King
Ethelstan
,
about
the
year
930.
to
be
in
this
City
,
viz
two
for
the
King
,
and
one
for
the
Bishop
.
And
8.
Decemb.
1251.
King
Hen.
3.
held
a
Just
here
.
As
concerning
the
Cathedral
and
Priory
.
The
same
were
built
by
King
Ethelbert
(
in
the
year
600.
)
and
dedicated
to
the
honour
of
God
,
and
St.
Andrew
,
Endowed
with
lands
called
Priest
Feilds
,
and
Channons
were
put
into
the
same
.
But
the
severall
devastations
aforesaid
of
the
City
,
by
the
Mercians
,
Danes
,
and
West
Saxons
,
also
caused
the
decay
both
of
this
Church
and
Priory
,
both
which
were
new
builded
by
the
aforesaid
Gundulphus
(
being
Bishop
there
)
about
the
year
1080.
And
instead
of
six
Priests
(
at
his
coming
found
therein
)
he
placed
there
60
black
Monks
(
of
the
ord
of
St.
Benedict
.
)
And
transl●ted
into
the
new
Church
the
bodies
of
Paulinus
(
a
Romane
by
Birth
)
and
others
his
Predecessors
Bishops
of
that
Sea
)
which
were
buried
in
the
former
(
to
which
new
Church
Earnulphus
Bishop
there
in
the
time
of
King
Hen.
1.
was
a
great
Benefactor
.
)
And
to
make
this
Church
more
famous
(
about
the
year
1087
)
The
aforesaid
Paulinus
(
who
had
been
dead
440.
years
before
)
was
Canonized
for
a
Saint
,
and
inshrined
in
Silver
by
Lanfranck
(
then
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
)
and
many
Devotions
and
Oblations
were
made
to
the
same
.
But
by
the
aforesaid
seve●all
fires
,
Siege
of
King
Iohn
,

long
contentions
and

be●ween
Gilbert
Glanvill
Bishop
there
,
and
the

(
wherein
the
Monks
were
driven
to
such
necessity
,
that
they
made
out
the
aforesaid
Shrine
into
mo●ey
,
)
The
aforesaid
Church
and
Priory
fell
into
great
decay
and
di●esteem
,

ran

thus
it
was
again
reedified

began
to
come
into
esteem
,
and
(
the
more
to
increase
the
repute
thereof
)
whereas

was
murdered
neer

)
procured
to
be
Canonized
for
a
Saint
(
to
whose
Shrine
,
was
great
resort
and
gifts
)
and
the
wealth
,
and
repute
of
this
Church
was
much
encreased
,
so
that
(
at
the

was
valued
at
486l

some
whereof
are
ridiculous
,

impossible

but
the
most
probable
relation
of
the
rise
of

is
thus
.
Goodwin
Earl
of
this
County
,
and
father
of
King
Harold
)
was
in
the
time
of
King
Edward
the
Confessor

Lands

which
lands
afterwards
(
in

was
parcell
of

of
the

of

(

reteyned

Goodwin
,
formerly
owner

)
and
that
Abbot
,
being
then
also
owner
of
the
Rectory
of
Tenterden
,
and
having
begun
the
building
of
this
steeple
and
the
t●me
of
year
for
such
purpose
being
much
spent
,
the
thoughts
,
and
actions
,
of
him
,
and
his
agents
were
so
set
upon
the
finishing
of
that
work
,
that
they
neglected
t●e
care
of
watching
,
and
preserving
the
aforesaid
wall
,
and
(
3.
of
November
in
that
year
)
the
sea
broke
over
,
and
ruined
the
same
,
and
drowned
the
aforesaid
lands
(
overwhelming
the
same
)
with
a
light
sand
,
(
there
st●ll
remaining
)
and
the
place
thereby
obteyned
the
name
of
Goodwin
Sands
,
and
became
(
as
still
it
is
)
dreadfull
,
an●
dangerous
to

thus
(
accidentially

this

by
〈◊〉
(

〈◊〉
)
King
of
Britain
,
almost
2500.
years
since
.
The
truth
whereof
may
be
questionable
,
for
that
it
is
believed
for
certain
,
that
Shaf●●bu●y
was
founded
by
King
Alfred
many
hundred
years
afterwards
;
But
as
certain
as
it
is
that
this
City
of
Canterbury
,
was
famous
in
the
time
of
the
Ro●ane
Government
here
:
and
in
the
time
of
Ethelbert
King
of
Ken●
,
above
1050.
years
since
:
This
was
his
chiefe
City
,
and
place
of
residence
,
which
afterwards
was
by
Aethel●stan
,
inriched
with
seven
Mints
viz.
foure
for
himself
,
two
for
the
Archbishop
,
and
one
for
the
Abbot
.
And
for
divers
Centuries
afterwards
)
this
City
was
the
chief
place
of
Kent
,
(
governed
by
a
P●ae●ect
,
Por●reve
,
Bailiffe
,
or
Provest
,
untill
that
(
in
the
year
1449.
)
it
came
to
be
governed
by
a
Mayor
,
and
so
hath
●ver
since
continued
:
And
in
the
year
1461.
it
was
made
a
County
of
it self
.
It
is
an
antient
Corporation
(
antiently
a
Hundred
)
and
within
the
division
of
the
Justices
of
the
same
:
A
Market
is
kept
here
upon
every
Wednesday
and
Saterday
.
Twenty
Churches
were
anciently
in
this
City
and
the
Suburbs
thereof
;
seventeen
whereof
,
viz.
St.
Alphage
,
St.
Andrew
,
St.
Mary
Bredman
,
St.
Mary
Breeden
,
Holy
Cross
Westgate
,

,
St.
Mary
Castle
,
St.
Edmund
,
St.
Iohn
,
St.
Mary
Queeningate
and
St.
Michael
,
were
in
the
City
.
And
the
other
three
,
viz.
St.
Dunstan
,
St.
Martin
,
and
St.
Paul
,
were
in
the
Suburbs
.
All
which
Parishes
were
in
the
De●nry
and
Diocess
of
Canterbury
,
and
are
still
in
being
,
except
,
St.
Mary
Castle
,
St.
Edmund
,
St.
Iohn
,
St.
Mary
Queeningate
and
St.
Michael
,
which
are
demolished
.
The
liberty
of
the
late
Dean
of
Canterbury
claimeth
i●
the
said
Parish
of
St.
Martin
.
This
City
hath
had
several
disaster●
,
viz.
by
Fire
above
900.
years
since
,
the
like
about
740.
years
since
.
By
Burnings
by
the
Danes
(
above
640.
years
since
)
by
burning
again
about
150.
years
afterwards
.
But
that
which
is
conceived
to
have
added
to
the
decay
thereof
(
of
latter
times
)
was
the
suppression
of
the
famous
Monastrie
of
Christ-church
,
and
St.
Augusti●e
,
and
the
other
religious
houses
there
(
which
occasioned
much
frequenting
of
the
same
.
)
To
which
also
may
be
added
,
the
late
ruine
of
the
Cathedral
,
and
other
app●●tenances
thereof
,
which
(
as
is
to
be
feared
)
will
more
eclipse
the
glory
,
and
wellfare
of
the
same
.
And
touching
the
Castle
here
,
which
is
,
and
alwayes
hath
been
(
without
scruple
)
in
the
County
of
Kent
,
many
questions
have
been
made
touching
the
foundation
thereof
,
but
I
shall
onely
briefly
touch
thereupon
.
I
find
it
was
by
(
the
command
of
Iulius
Caesar
the
Romane
Emperour
)
at
his
coming
into
this
Nation
(
about
1700
years
since
)
built
according
to
the
Romane
order
)
and
Hengist
(
King
of
Kent
)
about
200.
years
since
,
committed
the
Goverment
thereof
to
one
L●dias
(
a
Saxon
)
who
governing
the
same
many
years
,
it
gained
the
name
of
Lodias
Castle
,
(
which
name
it
retained
untill
,
and
in
the
time
of
King
Ethelbert
,
who
,
(
about
150.
years
afterwards
)
upon
his
conversion
to
the
Christian
faith
,
giving
to
Augustine
(
the
Monk
)
his
cheif
seate
at
Canterbury
,
reserved
(
by
name
)
Lodias
Castle
.
Afterwards
the
Danes
(
as
aforesaid
)
burning
this
City
,
also
raced
this
Castle
,
which
continued
ruined
,
till
the
co●ing
of
King
William
the
Conqueror
(
who
built
,
and
fortified
a
Castle
,
upon
the
old
foundation
,
called
the
same
the
New
Castle
,
and
gar●isoned
therein
700.
men
.
Afterwards
King
Stephen
,
committed
the
custody
thereof
to
William
of
Ipre
(
Earle
of
Kent
)
and
since
(
by
length
and
changes
of
times
,
and
by
tempests
)
the
same
is
become
much
ruined
,
yet
the
generall
Sessions
of
the
peace
for
the
County
,
is
here
usually
holden
,
twice
in
the
year
(
viz
in
Iuly
,
and
Ianuary
.
)
The
place
is
reported
to
be
in
the
aforesaid
Parish
of
St
Mildred
(
but
in
no
hundred
)
and
now
(
for
the
reasons
aforesaid
)
I
forbear
further
inlargement
,
either
touching
this
City
,
or
Castle
.
By
what
is
before
written
,
it
appeareth
that
this
County
of
Kent
,
is
divided
into
two
divisions
(
viz.
West
,
and
East
.
)
Which
West
division
abutteth
to
the
river
of
Thames
towards
the
North
,
to
the
County
of
Surrey
towards
the
West
,
to
the
County
of
Sussex
towards
the
West
and
South
,
and
to
the
East
division
towards
the
East
.
It
containeth
both
the
Laths
of
Sutton
at
Hone
,
and
Aylesford
,
and
the
lower
division
of
the
Lath
of
Scray
.
The
East
division
doth
abut
to
the
German
Ocean
towards
the
North
,
and
East
to
the
narrow
Seas
towards
the
East
and
South
,
to
the
County
of
Sussex
towards
the
South
,
and
to
the
West
division
towards
the
West
.
And
conteineth
the
upper
division
of
the
Lath
of
Scray
,
and
both
the
Laths
of
St.
Augustine
and
Shipway
.
These
two
Divisions
may
in
any
Map
of
the
County
,
be
divided
each
from
other
,
by
pricking
a
line
from
the
Top
of
the
East
side
of
the
Isle
of
Greane
,
down
to
the
Channell
;
and
exc●u●e
from
the
West
division
the
Churches
of
Queenborough
,
Iwade
,
Halstoe
,
Vpchurch
,
Rainham
,
and
〈◊〉
.
Then
prick
the
line
down
the
East
heads
of
the
Chur●hes
of
Stockbury
and
Bicknor
.
Then
prick
the
line
from
the
bottom
of
Bicknor
Church
Eastward
over
the
Churches
of
W●●msell
and
Frindsted
,
and
under
the
Churches
of
Milsted
,
Kingsdown
,
Dodington
,
and
Newynham
.
Then
between
the
Churches
of
Easeling
and
O●●rynden
,
and
at
the
East
side
of
the
Church
of
Ot●rynden
,
and
under
that
Church
Westward
to
the
top
of
the
East
head
of
the
Church
of
Leneham
,
and
down
the
East
head
of
that
Church
,
by
the
East
side
of
the
Church
of
Bo●ghton
,
Malherbe
,
To
the
East
head
of
the
Church
of
Hedcorne
,
and
down
that
East
head
,
and
Eastward
to
the
West
head
of
the
Church
of
Smarden
,
and
down
that
West
head
,
and
Eastward
to
the
West
head
of
the
Church
of
Betherisden
,
and
down
that
West
head
,
and
Eastward
to
the
top
of
the
East
head
of
the
Church
of
Shadoxherst
,
and
down
that
East
head
,
to
the
West
head
of
the
C●urch
of
Warehorne
,
and
down
that
West
head
to
the
Westside
of
the
Church
of
Snargate
,
and
then
Westward
under
the
Church
of
Apledore
,
and
from
thence
along
the
Channel
over
the
Church
of
Ebeney
,
and
down
as
the
river
goeth
to
the
East
side
of
the
Church
of
Newenden
,
and
so
into
the
Channel
.
Note

;
but
the

is
in
that
Division
or
Lath
,
where
the

five
Laths
,
viz
