regard to the same.
In reply to an application for a grant towards the Rochester
Diocesan Registers the Secretary was directed to ask for an
estimate of the cost.
A letter was read from the Congress of Arohreological Societies
asking if the Kent Archreo1ogical Society would subscribe for
a number of copies of the "scheme for recording ancient defensive
earthworks and fortified enclosures." The Council did not consider
it necessary.

June 1st, 1911.-The Council met at the "Coburg Hotel,"
at the invitation of the President, Lord N 01·thbourne in the Chair.
Eighteen members present.
The Dean of Rochester introduced the question of the printing
by the Society of the Capitular, Diocesan, and Parochial Registers
of the Diocese of Rochester. The matter was referred to Mr. A. A.
Arnold, Mr. L. L. Duncan, and the Rev. C. E. Woodruff, to be
brought again before the Council.
It was decided that arrears in the subscription to the Pipe Roil
Society should be paid and the subscription continued in the
future. A request that the Council should contribute towards
the preservation of an old house at Wickhambreaux was declined,
on the ground that the Society had no funds available £or the
purpose.
A programme of the Annual Meeting was laid before the
Council and approved. It was decided that the members of the

Ohair.
J.>RO(iEEDING};, 191'1..
"£he .iYfayor of Gt·eenwich welcomed the Society.
Rev. W. Gardner-Waterman then read the Annual Report,
which expressed regret at the Society's losses by death, amongst
whom he would especially mention Earl Amherst, for many years
a trustee of the Society, and the Rev. Canon ]'lower, the acting
trustee of Richborougb Castle. They would be asked to elect
two 'l'rustees, as no minute could be found of the election of
Mr. Mapleton Chapman. The Council had, at the request 0£
the Rector and Churchwardens, returned to Smarden OhUl'ch the
sword which formerly hung over the Rum den pew and belonged
to Colonel Otway, as this appeared to have been presented to the
Society under a misapprehension. They also asked for the return
of the Bulla of Pope Innocent IV., A.D. 1245, which was found
in the Rectory Garden, but this the Council felt was in a different
position, and retained it in the Society's collections.
The past year had produced no striking discoveries within the
county. The Council had expended £30 in the excavations at
Ricbborough Castle. 'l'hey had hoped further work on this spot
might have been uudertakeu in conjunction with the Society of
Antiquaries, but at present this matter was in abeyance.
Owing to the illness of the Hon. Editor, Rev. G. M. Livett,
who was ordered abroad shortly after Christmas, it had not been
possible to issue Vol. XXIX. to members, but it was hoped shortly
to do this owing to the kindness of the Rev. C. E. Woodruff, wbo
had undertaken this duty during the Edito1·'s absence. The
Volumes were not issued yearly but at irregular intervals, which
had averaged since the commencement of the Society twenty-two
months.
During the past year fifty new members had been e1ected,
a number slightly in excess of previous years.
The President added a few words, and spoke with appreciation
of the services rendered by Rev. Vv. G. Waterman, who was getting
the fiuances of the Society out of a state of almost inextricable
confusion, and that something like order was taking the place of
the previous chaos was due to his laborious work.
The President informed Ml'. Denne, in reply to a question, that
subscriptions to the Richborough Onstle Excava.l;iou Fund might
be sent to Mr. W. H. St. John-Hope, Hon. Treasurer.
The six retiring Members of the Council and the Auditors were
re-elected.
Mi-. Mapleton Chapman and Mr. C. W. Powell were eleoted
Trustees of the Society's funds and property. The following were
elected Ordinary Members: A. I<'. Buxton and H. Outhwaite.
The following alterations in. the Rules of the Society, of which
due notice had been given, were put and unanimously carried :
Rule 2.-After "Honorary Secretary" read "Honorary Financial
Secretary;" Rule 3.-To read "and on the second Wednesday
in the month of December;" Rule 14.-For "Secretary" read
" Secretaries."
The H.ev. W. Gardner-Waterman was appointed Hon. Financial
Secretary.
The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Mayor of
Greenwich.
The Society then proceeded to the Parish Church of St. Alpbege,
which was described by the Vicar, Rev. S. M. Bardsley, M.A.
'l'he present building iR 200 years old, but is on the site of earlier
churches erected on the spot where St. Alphege was massacred by
the Danes. It ha,s an organ, the history of which can be traced
back to 1552, and is therefore one of the most ancient in England.
The instrument was played by Thomas Tallie,, the father of English
Church Music, who, as Court Musician, resided at Greenwich.
Tallis and his wife were buried in the chancel. Tbe pulpit is
handsome, and possesses hour-glasses which register the quarter,
the hid£, the three-quarter, and the hour intervals. The capitals
of the pillars supporting the galleries are good examples of carving.
'l'he sanctuary rails also are noteworthy. One of the nave windows
is in meruory of Genero.l Wolfe, who is buried here.
After lunch at the Ship, Vanbrugb Castle, erected about 1717
by Sir John Vanbrugh, was visited, and was described by
Mr. H. Jones, l!".S.A., but only tbe exterior was shewn. It is
built 0£ brick with round and square turrets, and is said to have
been modelled on the Bastille.
The members then proceeded to Greenwich Park, seeing the
remains of the small Roman Villa discovered a few years ago.
Upwards of three hundred coins have been discovered here, representing
about forty emperors.
St. Luke's Church, Charlton, was next visited, a.ud was described
by the Vicar, the Rev. J. H. Bridgwater, M.A. There is a little
early work discovered cased in the brick wall. The nave was
rebuilt in 1630. 'l'he east window is late-seventeenth century, and
portions are by the famous window-painter, Isaac Oliver. Progress
was, then made to Charlton House, the residence of Sit· Spencer
°l>ROCEEDING-S, 1911.
M:aryon-Wilson, stated to have been erected 1607 for Sir .A.dam
Newton, tutor to the two sons 0£ James I. In the grounds
a mulberry tree was planted in 1608 by order of King James I.
The house has most interesting collections of vV edgewood and
various curio13, and some lace-work of the time of the Commonwealth.
There are also some interesting lead tanks.
After the Annual Dinner, which took place at the Ship,
Greenwich, Mr. J.E. G. de Montmorency, M.A., LL.B., spoke on
the History of Greenwich and Mr. F. C. Elliston-Erwood on
Lesnes Abbey.
On Wednesday, 19th July, visits were paid to the Naval
Museum, the Painted Hi\ll, and Greenwich College.
A start was made in fine weather £or vVell Hall, visited by the
kind permission of lVIr. Hubert Bland. There is a moat and part
of an Elizabethan house. 1'he 'l.'udot· brickwork bears date 1568.
Mr. Vince.nt gave a short description.
Eltham Palace was next visited, and in the Great Ilall lunch
took place, by kind permission of Mr. S. "Wilson. Mr. C. H-. Peers,
Chief Inspector of .Ancient Monuments, described the building,
trni:ing the history from the time of the Domesday Survey.
Ilenry VI., it has been lately discovered, built a great chapel and
a hall adjoining, alLhough Edward IV. was the man to whom they
looked as having et·ected most of the building. '.l'he large haU was
built in 1480. Henry VII. made :;ome additions, and Henry VIII.
was the last King to reside there. Important information regarding
the outer buildiugs had recently come to hand through the finding
0£ a plan, which had been discovered at Hatfield. 'l'bis discloses
where the lodgings of the personal att,:mdants of the Kings were
situated, and also the position of some of the courts. '.l.'he hall is
at the present time the pt·iucipal feature, the roof being a very
good example of late fifteenth-century work. For preservation the
Office of Works is pl'oposing to refix glass in the windows.
The members then proceeded to East Wickham 01.iurch. '.l.'he
Rev. :B'. C. Cowen, M.A., described the Church, which holds 100,
with it population in the parish of 7000. In the vestr-y there is an
old chest with tweli·e bolts, and in the nave it brass to Sir John de
Bladigdooe of Blendon Pat·k, 1325.
On the return journey· Lesne::i Abbey was visited to see the
excavations undertaken by the W oolwich Antiq uariu.u Society,
the President, Mr. Vincent, a.ud others very kindly actiug as
guides. '.1.'he Ab.bey was founded by lt.ichard de Lucy, Cuief
rliv PROCEE.DINGS, 1911.
Justiciar of Engln.nd, 1178, aud was suppressed by Cardinal ·wolsey.
The foundations of the Church are 240 feet long by 67 feet wide.
Many of the objects excavated were seen under cover, and members

Committee, with the condition that the p1·imary report or reports,
with plans and other illustrations, be sent to the Editor £or publication
in A1•cltaJolo.1ia Cantiana.
The President reported the possibility 0£ the sale in the near
future 0£ Sandgate Castle, and hoped that something might be
done to preserve that historical and interesting landmark 0£ the
past, adding that E. Brassey, Sir E. Sassoon, M.P. for Hytbe, and
other residents in the neighbourhood were anxious for its preser•
vatioa. The Hon. Secretary was requested to communicate with
the N ntional Trust £or Places of Historical Interest, 25 Victoria

instructions to the Society's publishers. In accordance with the
terms of the report presented to the Counc.il at its last meeting by
the Records Committee, the Honorary Editor, the Rev. G. M.
Livett, had arranged that the volume should be uni.form with
A1•chaJolo.1ire Oantinna, and should bear the general title of Kent
Records, with a view to its being regarded as the first 0£ a series
of such records. 'rhe President expressed a hope that a similar
work should be carried out for the Canterbury Diocese, and the
Council passed a recomme:ndation to thttt effect,

Cheqnes were signed, including one for £20 for rent of rooms,
one for 11 guineas fot· the Petrie photogr11.phs, and one for £20 for

At the meeting of the Society held at the Maidstone Museum on
the same afternoon Mr . .A.ymer Vallance read a paper on the subject
0£ Old Bridges in England and Wales, illustrnted by a large
number of lantern slides. He began by remarking that the earliest
bridges seem to have been wooden structures of a more or less
tempo1,ary character. He then traced the development 0£ stone
bridges from their most pt'imitive form of stepping stones (e. fJ. .,
Torr Steps on the Burle, Somerset) to the next stage, that of
cyclopean bridges of post-and-lintel constnwtion (e ..r; ., Slaughter
Bridge, 11enr Camelford, Cornwall), and lastly to the arched
structure. '.!.'he medire,,nl bridge at its most perfect development in
the fifteenth century consisted of pointed arches, very usually
ribbed 1mderneath, and springing from massive piers with projecting
cutwaters. 'I'he latter, as their name implies, served to
divide and break the force of the cmrent or the impact of floating
ice, while the top parb provided refuges for foot-passenger, the
roadway over being generally n, narrow one, n.nd thus liable to be
occupied by vehicular traffic. The <'arliest and most obvious way
of enlarging a bridge was to turn arches, from cutwn.ter to cutwater,
parallel to the forme1· roadway. This plan, howeve1·, while
widening the main thoroughfare, absorbed the triangular spaces on
the tops of the cutwaters and so deprived foot passengers of the
protection of the refuges wl1ich used to be at their service. To
supply this need sometimes an overhanging gangway of timber
would be attaclled to the bridge alongside the parapet (M was done
at Bow 1ridge on the Lea at Stratford) or (as in the case of the
old bridge at Maidstone} an iron-grated refuge, like a cage, was
constructed in the middle.
It is important to remember tl1at, in the Middle Ages, bridgebuilding
and repairing ranked as meritorious and in the same
category with corporal works 0£ mercy and benevolence. The
faithful, moreover, were encouraged by t,heir spiritual pnstors to
make special efforts in this regard, many bishops granting indulgences
(i.e., remissions of penance or 0£ ecclesiastical censures) to
those who should participate in the pious work. 'l'hus the Pope
himself is believed to have indulgenced the work of Old lfochcster
Bridge.
This apect of . bridge.m11king .and wairitenai1ce WflS often

emphasised by the erection of a chapel built actually on the bridge
or in close proximity to the end of it. London and Bristol Bridges,
the two most important bridges in the kingdom (Rochester Bridge
ranking third in importance), had each a chapel at the middle of
the bridge. Wakefield and Rotherham Bridges in Yorkshire aud
St. Ives Bridge in Huntingdonshire still have remaini; of their
ancient chapels standing upon them, whilst others, like
Derby and Rochester Bridges, still have the remains of the
bridge chapel standing at one end. The roofless walls of the
bridge chapel at Rochester may still be seen on the eastem
shore, adjoining the north side of i.he Bridge-wardens' modern
chamber.
Another notable feature, since bridges very often were positions
of much tactical value, were the towers or fortified gates standing
upou bridges or commanding their approaches. The only extant
example of a gate yet remaining 011 a bridge is on the Monnow
Bridge at Monmouth, whilst fortifications ahio exist at the end of
bridges at Wark worth, N@rthumberland, and at St. David's in
South Wales.
Mr. Vallance gave a short sketch of the history of some of the
principal bridges in the country and also of some of specially local
interest, such as those on the Medway at Rochester, Aylesford,
Maidstone, .East Farleigh and Teston. At Rochester there wae a
bridge across the Medway p1·obably in Roman, or at least in Saxon
times. It was in line with Rochester High Street, the ancient
Watling Street. 1'he first stone bridge, however, built about
1389-1892, was higher up the stream. 'I1he chapel erected at its
eastern end was dedicated to the Holy 1'rinity with the intention of
the souls' health of the founders, of their kindred and all the
faithful departed. An internsting feature of this building is the
vice or staircase at the west part of the north wall, leading to the
loft at the west end, a loft which still retains considerable portions
of Perpendicular oak screenwork, forming part of its eastern front.
The medireval bridge was demolished in 1857-8. The reconstruction
of it successor, opened in 1856 as near as maybe on the more
ancient site, is still proceeding.
The early history of the old bridge over the Medway at Maidstone
is much more obscure than one would expect to -find. It was
called the great bridge to distinguish it from the less important
bridge over the Len, and is so referred to in 1494 in the will of
Richard Arnett, who bequeathed five marks (£8 6$, 8d.) to thl}

repair of the Great Bridge of Maidstone.* This bridge seems
originally to have comprised seven arche, but it had been repeatedly
altered and renovated before it was finally demolishecl in 1879, a
new bridge, designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, having been built
to supply its place.
Mr. Vallance's peroration was an urgent appeal in favour of
preserving with the most scrupulous care whatever of old bridges
still survives, not merely because of their high antiquarian and
oosthetic -value, but also because they enshrine hallowed associations
innumerable which, once dissipated, are lost beyond any possible
recovery.
June 5th, 1912.-After lunching with the President the Council
met at the "Coburg Hotel," Lord Northbourne in the Chair.
Fifteen members present.
It was agreed that churchwardens should be allowed to purchase,
at the reduced cost of 3s., a copy of Parish Registers, etc., for
preservation in their church chest, and that copies should be
supplied to the trade at 5s., less a discount of 20 per cent.
Mr. H. Western Plumptre 0£ Fredville was elected a Member
of the Council.
The following were elected Ordinary Members: F. Morrice,
B. Quaritch, Mrs. Jackson, C. J. Redshaw, Miss Reatchlous,

l PROCEEDINGS, 1912.
appointed a Committee to draw up a form for use in abstra-cting
ancient deeds.
It wns agreed, on the request of Mr. A. R. Powys, Secretary of
the Society for Protection of Ancient Buildingl'l, that the Coun<'il
should co-operate with that Society with a view to the preservatfon
of the north wall of the l'ity of Canterbury and certnin ancient
features in St. Mary's Church.
It was reported that some -recent numbers of the Essex Society's
Publications were missing from the library, and it was decided
that, if enquiry of the late secretary should fail to discover them,
application for duplicate copies should be made.
Oo n question arising as to the conditions under which nonmembers
might be granted permission to use the library for
purposes of spe<.'ial study, it was left to the Hon. Secretary to use
his discretion in the matter.
Mr. Herbe1·t Knocker made suggestions £or the re-arrangement
of the Local Districts, and was asked to bring the matter in definite
form before the meeting of the next Council.
July 16th, 1912.-'l'he Annual General Meeting of the Society
was held in the Town Hall, Hythe, under the presidency of Lord
Northbourne. In the unavoidable absence of the Mayor of Hythe
Mr. ,Tohn Scott, Deputy-Mayor, welcomed the Society.
Alderman Scott tendered on the Mayo1•'s behal£ the heartiest
welcome to the K.A.S. from the Corporation of the ancient Cinque
r01•t of Hythe.
Lord Northbourne, in returning thanks, was sure Hythe would
be· in no respect the least interesting of their visits.
The Hon. Secretary, Mr. Cooke, then read his Report, and
began by remarking that when the Society visited Hythe in 1862
the number of members on the Roll was reported to be 840; it was
certainly no more now, probably rather less, a point which to him
was not satisfactory, M so many more persons were now interested
in the very wide field .opened up by .Arcbroology, and he thought
their members ought to increase instead of maintaining a more or
less dead level. He thought members were very much indebted to
the Rev. vV. G. Waterman £or the pains he had taken and the
arduous work be had accomplished in putting the affairs of the
Society in order. He alluded to the endeavour to enlarge the work
and increase the responsibilities of the twenty-four Local Secretaries,
men to whom the Society had been much indebted in the past, and
PROCEEDINGS, l!H2. Ii
w011ld be, he felt sure, still more in the future. He hoped to be
able to arrange for an Annual Meeting of the Local Secretaries,
perhaps one year in East Kent and the following year in West
Kent.
A proposal had been made to form a Recordi, Bra-nch in connection
with the K.A,S. 'l'his was a matter of the very greatest
importance. Scattered up and down throughout the country,
mauy preserved in parish chests in the churches, were documents
of the greatest value to the historian and student, from the valuable
light-being contemporary writings-they threw on the manners,
customs, and history of the past. Now the work of our contemplated
Records Branch would be to search out, catalogue, and
describe these documents, and where considered necessary reproduce
them partly or wholly. Attention would of course be called to
those in a bad state of preservation. Mr. Buckland's volume on
the Diocesan and Parish Records of the Diocese of Rochester was
an instance of such work, and it was much to be hoped that something
similar would be carried out for the Diocese of Canterburya
matter he believed in which our President and the Archbishop of
Canterbury were taking the greatest interest. It was much hoped
that a start might be made of a Records Branch with some 200 to
250 members at 10s. a year.
In moving the adoption of the Report the President niost
strongly advocated the formation of a Records Branch. His
lordship expressed his thanks to Mr. Gardner-Waterman for his
strenuous work for the Society. The Report was adopted. The
retiring members of the Council, viz., Mr. Monckton, the Rev.
C. II. Wilkie, Dr. Cotton, Messrs. Al'llold, Wood Wollnaton, and
Aymer Vallance were re-elected.
The following were elected Ordinary Members : LaROCJ!JEVINGS, 1912. liii
The initial £act to be borne in mind concerning this ' Castle,'
so-called, is that it never was a castle at all. Mr. Harold Sands
will not even allow the description 'fortified' to be applied to it.
Rather it belongs to the category of strong dwellings, of which
'.l'onford Manor in the Stour Valley, near Canterblll'J, and the
brger houses at W estenhanger not far off, and Shur land in
Shcppey, may be cited as examples. It was made strong, no doubt,
as being the most impo1·tant dwelling in the neighbourhood-a
dwelling that miglit serve if need be as a rallying point-and also
because it occupies an eminence on the confines of Romney Marsh,
commanding a long stretch of the sea coast. It might, therefore,
on occasio11 be required to serve a military purpose, though no
record has come to light to shew that it ever did so serve.
After the Reformation it was sometimes known t1s the Court
Lodge. Before the lteformation it belonged to the Al·chdeacon of
Canterbury, who most likely maintained a small staff of priests and
clerks in residence. Accordingly the house is larger than the
average dwelling of a parish priest, a yeoman or a. squire, and
comprises the nol'mal elements of a medireval house amplified to
suit the particular circumstances of the case.
The plan may roughly be described as au irregular oblong
running east and west, though its axis points more toward the
south than that of the adjacent church. 'l'he area covered is
approximately 116 feet by 43 feet at the furthest extent. 'l'he
centritl pa1·t of the building is occupied by.the principal apartment,
the great hall, originally open, and to-day, after a luug interval of
defo1·mation, happily once again open to the roof.
There being no sign of a side-fireplace-the existing fireplace at
the west end is a recent insertion-there can be little doubt that
the fire was laid upon a central hearth (as to this day at Penshurst
Place) with a louvre in the roof-ridge overhead for the escape of
the smoke. All traoos, however, of hearth and louVl'e have disappeared.
The hall, comprising two bays, to reckon by the
fenestration, is 22 feet wide by 39 feet 6 inches long, inclusive of
the space of about 6 feet at the east end anciently shut o:ff from
the body of the hall to form the usual screened passage-way. The
screen noted by Canon Scott Robertson in 1858 no longer remains;
but until the recent restoration the principal entrance to the house
had always beeu through the north porch, which opened "immediately
into the passage between the screens. The porch, with au upper
chamber over, still stands, but the door is now closed up and disused.
liv
There is a door opposite in the south wall. The kitchen and
buttery were situated, according to custom, beyond the screens.
There are two doorways in the east wall of the hall, doorways not
quite symmetrically corresponding with one another. The northern
door of the two opens into the old kitchen (now the Library),
which contains an enormous fireplace witb a four-centred arch of
stone 12 feet wide. To south of the kitchen stood the buttery,
divided from the kitchen by a wall 5 feet thick, communication
between kitchen and buttery being afforded by a doorway at the
east extremity of the said wall, which has only recently been
removed to throw these two apartments into one.
'rhe south door iu the east wall of the hall leads by a newelstair
to a room Ol'er the kitchen, a room which from its warm and
comfortable situation over the kitchen was most probably the principal
bedroom. Through the latter is the only way of access to the
chamber above the porch. There is another small 1·oom on the same
floor to south of the principal bedroom. The block containing these
rooms and the kitchen forms a low square tower at the extreme
east end of the building. An interesting question arises as to
whether there was any covered way communicating between the
house and the church. I£ there was it must have been so arranged
as not to interfere with the complete circuit of outdoor processions
round the church. It may have taken the form of a bridge passage
from the first floor bedroom-the nearest point to the church itselfbut
there is no sign of any such passage iu the bedroom, and the
rebuilding of the west wall of the nave has obliterated any traces
there might have been in that quarter.
In the north wall of tbe hall should be noted a small square
window overlooking the hall from the por<'h-chamber; and in the
east wall of the hall is another 81llall window, presumably to light
the newel stair. Singularly enough the da'is at the west end opposite
to the screen does not appear to have had an oriel bay, but it
possesses a feature in common with the hall of Eltha.m Palace, viz.,
a pair of doors leading through the da'is-wall to other apartments
beyond. The south door opens into the solar, the north door to a
passage leading to the tower and other rooms at the west end of the
building.
It will be noticed that the central range is not occupied
exclusively by the great halJ, the fenestration shewing that the
western part of the range comprises two floors, the roof-ridge how•
ever running continuously from end to end._ The upper floor con•
PlWOEEDINGS, 1912. lv
tains what is known as the 'king-post room,' because of the
magnificent open roof which ranges with the restored roof of
the great hall, and has every appearance of being original and
untouched.
The western extremity of the house is apsidal on plan, comprising
a vaulted ground floor and upper floors. Access to the highest
of these is obtained by a newel-stair in a turret in the re-entering
angle bet\'veen the semicircular towl'lr and the ha1£-ruined rectangulal'
wing, projecting southward beyond the central range.
This part of the house, being the most dilapidated, was that which
bad to undergo the greatest amount of l'estora.tion. .A.s in the case
of Peel Towers there are no means of communication between the
gl'Ound floor and those above it, but Dr. Randall Davis, who knew
the building iu its £or111er state, recalls that there was an external
staircase, a, picturesque stmcture of timber, against the wall of the
apsidal tower, leading to the first-floor rooms at this end of the
building. From the south terrace may be observed the springer of
what may have been a sort of fiyiug-buti1·ess for the support of the
south wall of the hall range. There is au old well in the courtyard
to north of the building .
.A.t Saltwood the party was most kindly entertained at tea on
the beautiful lawn of the Rectory. The church wa.s visited and
its brasses inspected. Progress was then made to the castle, where
Mrs. Deedes received the members. Mr. Harold Sands described
the castle, and his descri1Jtion will, we hope, appear in a future
volume.
The President proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Deedes
for her kindness, and to Mr. Harold Sands for his interesting
description.
The Annual Dinner took place at The Imperial Hotel, Hythe,
Lord N orthbourne presiding. At the conclusion of the dinner
Dr. Parsons gave his 'l"iews on the bones in Hythe Ohurcb, and
his Paper is printed in extenso in the present volume, pp. 203
at seq.
The Vicar of Hythe spoke on the 'l'own Documents, and
Mr. R. J. Fynmore on the Preservation of Sandgate Castle, and
the proceedings terminated by members passing a resolution in
favour of the Protection of Ancient Monuments Bill, with the
addition ot the amendment s1,1ggested at the meeting of the Congress
of Al•chmological Societies.
Ivl PROCEEDINGS, 1912.
It should be added that it was a very great disappointment
that it was found impossible to include in the day's visits one to
the small Norman church of West Hythe, but a foll descriptive
account. of the building by the Rev. G. M. Livett appears in tbe
present volume, pp. 251 et seq. · The church, though without a
roof, possesses sound walls, and it would seem a good thing to
keep in view the possibility in . the future, as population extends
westwat·d, of once again restoring it to its former Divine use as a
house of prayer, especially as it stands on ground which forms part
of the glebe of Lympne.
On the second day of the meeting (17th July) the members
proceeded firstly to Post1ing Church, which was described by
Mr. Aymer Vallance in a Paper which is printed on pp. 193 et seq.
of this volume, with some additional notes by the Rev. G. M. Livett.
The dedication tablet and the mural paintings·on the south and
west walls were examined, as was also a silver vessel which
originally belonged to St. Mary and St. Radegund, thence :finally
passing into the possession of the Rev. J. G. Glennie, Vicar of
Croxton, Staffordshire, who had most.kindly made a free gift of it
to the Rector and Churchwardens of Postling. Date of Hall mark
1701-2; it weighs about 5½ ozs., holding half a pint, and up to
1850 was used as a chalice £or Holy Communion in this church
of Postling .
.At Lyminge the church· of SS. Mary and ...:Ethelburga was
described by the Rev. C. Eveleigh Woodruff. Mr. Woodruff
said that the site on which the members of the Society were
assembled was one of peculiar interest, £or they were standing
very near the cradle of English Christianity. JEthelbert, · the
first Christiati king of Kent, possessed a country seat with a
park or chase at Lyminge. His official residence was at Canterbury,
and he had at Reculvei' what in modern phrase 'would
be called a seaside villa. .At all three places· there bad been
a Roman settlement, and it was not unlikely that in each
the ·Saxon king was able to · adapt 'to his use a house built
during the Roman occupation .. About sixty years ago the late
Canon ,Jenkins.:--who for more than forty years was the faithful
pastor of the parish and the zealous investigator and ·expounder of
its history-caused excavations · to be made, in the churchyard,
which revealed the foundations ot' an· extensive Roman building.
·Canon Jenkins believed that he had uncovered the ruins of a large
aisled basilica having a triple apse· at itl/eastern extith was :received.
lxii PROCEEDINGS, 1912 .
.A. register of Ancient Deeds was presented, together with a Paper
written by Mr. Herbert Knocker. Propo,:ed by Mr. Aymer Vallance,
seconded by Mr. Wood W ollaston, and carried : " That the report
and form and register be accepted; that 500 copies of the form, with
slight alteration, be printed; and that a reprint of Mr. Knocker's
Paper be made available for purchase at cost price." It was agreed
that Mr. Knocker should be asked to undertake the duties of
Hon. Registrar. Mr. Knocker's Paper is included in the present
volume.
Pass-books were produced and cheques drawn.
December 11th, 1912.-The Council met, by the permission of
the Dean and Chapter, in the Cathedral Lihrary, Canterbury.
Seventeen members present. Lord Northbourne in the Chair.
The Hon. Secretary reported the anonymous gift of twenty-one
volumes of the Journal of the British Archreological Association,
making the Society's set complete with the exception of volumes
X. and XI., which volumes the Hon. Secretary was instructed
to purchase.
A.t the suggestion of Mr. A. A. Arnold, Mr. F. H. Day was
unanimously elected a Member of the Council vice A . .A.. Arnold,
elected a Vice-president.
It was agreed that .1.l:lcmM•ials of Ca1itcrbury; Oathedral, by
Messrs. Woodruff and Danks, should be purchased £or the Library.
A letter was read from Mr. A . .A. Arnold call_ing attention to
damage to the ancient inscription at Cooling Castle. The ease
with which this could take place was confirmed by Mr. L. Duncan,
and the Hon. Secretary was instructed to write to Mr. Arnold a
letter of thanks, with a request that he should endeavour to stop
the mischief by interviewing landlord or tenant.
A letter was read from Major Lambarde respecting the condition
of the ruins of Maplescombe Castle. Mr. Colyer-Fergusson stated
that he was already taking steps to remove any cause a£ complaint.

Society 'That the rearrangement of the Local Districts,
as proposed by Mr. Knocker and printed, be adopted with any
slight necessary modincationa.'" Mr. Knocker formally moved the
adoption of the scheme, aud proposed that a memorandum should
be prepared concerning the duties of Hon. Local Secretaries,
method of collecting subscriptions, the procedure followed on the
election of new members, and concerning certain retums which
he suggested should be made by the Local Secretaries. This was
seconded by Mr. Leland Duncan and carried. The following committee
was appointed to draw up the memorandum : Mr. Cooke,
Mr. Livett, Mr. Hannen, 11,nd Mr. KnockeL'.
It was unanimously agreed that the next Annual Meeting

REPORT.
Your Committee beg to report as follows:-
They have care:fully considered the points laid before them, and
they thfolc it will be convenient to present the result of their
deliberations in such a form as, if this Report be adopted by the
Council, may conatitute a permanent guide to the Honorary Local
Secretaries. The Report is arranged under the headings of General
Duties, Finance (and New Members), and Special Heturns, with
a Sehedule 0£ Forms appended.
GENERAL DUTIES.
Under the head of General Duties your Committee conceive
that the main object of a Local Secretary should be an endeavour
to increase the membership of the Society in his district, to
encourage local research, and to keep the Council and its Officers
informed of fresh discoveries inade and of other matters of
archreological interest arising therein from time to time. Notice
of such discoveries, with as full a report as circumstances may
allow, should be sent without delay to the Society's Curator
(Mr. H. Elgar, at the Maidstone Museum), that he may report to
the General Secretary, and record the same on the Society's sixinch
Ordnance Survey Map, which is under his care. Any projected
restoration 0£ Churches or other ancient buildings should
also be reported to the General Secretary ; likewise any threatened
demolition or possible sale (which may lead to alteration or demolition)
of ancient monument:::, whether buildings or earthworks. Your
Committee £eeJ that the 1:eporting a£ the foregoing is a matter 0£
great importance, in dew of the possibility that the Council, as
occasion arises, may be able to use its influence in the direction of
p1·eserving monuments 0£ historic interest in this county ; and it
is suggested that the information in every case should be given in
the shape of a £o1•mal report that may be read at the next Council
meeting, and that, £or convenience of filing and 1·eady reference in
the £ut1ne, such reports be written on foolscap paper and on one
side only. Your Ct>mmittee iilso suggest that :.t note of new books
yo:r,, xx. c

relating to _local arcbreology, with names of author and publisher,
should be sent to the Honorary Editor by Local Secretaries who
mny hear of their publication. Local Secretaries should also bring
under the Council's notice •individual members of the Society who
may sbew themselves interested _jn any particular branch of study
or 1·esl'arch, and encourage them to offer Papers to be read at the
Society's meetings or published in Arclueolo,r;ia Oantiana. Local
meetings might be al'l'anged, in some cases by two or three neighbouring
Local Secretaries acting together, for the purpose either of
rrU1kiug excursions or of reading Pape-rs and promoting discussion.
Specin,l attention, at this juncture, may be drawn to the facilities
rec-ently made for the registration of ancient deeds, particularly of
those in private hands : members should be encouraged to undertake
this work. The records lying in various parish chests tht·oughout
the county should also receive attention, and an effort should be
made to unearth and make lists of court-rolls, extents, and other
manorial records, which are of great value to the local historian,
and of which large numbers exist both in private and public
hands.
Your Committee realise that this brief reswne 0£ General
Duties presents an ideal which many of our Local Secretaries,
being busy men, will be unable to reacb, but they feel that it mn.y
serve to suggest ways iu which, in some cases, their efforts may be
extended, to the advantage 0£ the Society aud the better promotion
of its objects.
In the "Reference" printed at the head of this Report your
Committee are asked to consider" Certain Returns to be made by
the Hon. Local Secretaries," and it is hoped to give definiteness to
some of the above suggestions by adding two specific reoommendations.
It will be convenient, however, that these should be de£erl'ed
to the end of this Report.
FINA.NOE
.As closely connected with Finance it is thought best to include
under this head all matters that relate to the business dutie of the
Local Secretaries. ln this section of the Report it is necessarv,
for sake of clearness, to set out the rates 0£ subscription, and to
distinguish between the _duties of the Local Secretaries and those
of the General Sec:retary and the Financial Secretary respectively.
Attention must alsQ be d:ra.wn to tb,e fact that in R-ule 4 it is la,id
HONORARY LOCAL SECRETARIES. lxvii
down that " the Council shall appoint one of their members to
bfl Hon Treasnrer." The rule proceeds to define that officer's
duties:-
To keep an account of nll Subscriptions and other Receipts and
Pnyments for the Society, and on the 81st December in eaoh year to
prepare the Balance Sheet for t-he post year, and, after it has been
approved by he Auditors, to Jay it before the next Quarterly Meeting
of the Council, accompanied by a statement of all Subscriptions, etc., in
arrear and due to the Sor,iety, and of all monies due from them."
This rule was made io 1908. In the Report, dated 10th September
1908, of a l!1nance Committee appointed in June 0£ that year,
it is stated that "the new rule has not been acted upon, for,
although an Hon. Treasurer has been appointed, it is believed that
he has never been invited to act." Your Committee find that all
his duties are now, in £act, carried out by the Rev. W. Gardner•
Waterman, who ·holds the office of Financial Secretary, newly
created in 1910. It is possible that the Council may advise that
Rule 4 be altered by the substitution of the words "Financial
Secretary " £or "Treasurer."
The above-mentioned Finance Committee recommended that:-
Each of the Local Hon. Secretaries when appointed should be
furnished with a full list of the names and addresses of members resident
in his district, and the nu.mes and addresses of members newly elected
or coming to reside in his district should be communicated to him by
the Hoo. Secretary; and eaoh Lo0l1l Secretary should be furuished with
a convenient form of schedule or list, to be sent by him to the Hon.
Treasurer or the Hon. Secretary, shewing the amonut of the subscriptions
received· and transmitiied by him to the bankers. We are informed,
however, that some of the Local Secretaries do not use this form, and
thus oonfusiou is caused, for it is very difficult in default of suoh a list
to keep up the register of payments satisfactorily.
Your Committee unanimously endorse and emphasize these
recommendations of the Finance Committee of 1908; and now
proceed to set out in detail what they consider to be the business
duties 0£ a Local Secretary, and the relation of his duties to those
of the General and Financial Secretaries.
1. To keep a register of members in his district, and of
members who, while resident in some other district, are accustomed
to pay thr subscriptions through him and not through
the Local Secretaq of their own district : such register to
