WINTER 2002/3

Dear Editor
In reply to Revd Stephen Taylor’s query. There is one single mason’s mark of a fylfot on the remains of the 12C Knights Templar’s church situated on the Western Heights at Dover.

Yours sincerely,
Ben Stoker (Hon Chairman DAG)

Dear Editor
I write in response to the Reverend Stephen Taylor’s query about Fylfot Crosses in the last Newsletter.

I refer to the Manx Note Book, edited by A.W. Moore, published in 1885 in Douglas. The article, commencing on page 14, A Few Words on the Fylfot by Llewellynn Jewitt, notes that the fylfot can be found “...on the brass of Thomas de Hop (circa 1300), a priest, in Kent’s Sing Church.” I hope this will be of interest and prove to be correct after such a passage of time.

Yours sincerely,
Anne Brew, Cranbrook
