Woodruff read the following Report:- REPORT, 1904. Your Council have much pleasure in presenting their Forty-Seventh Annual Report in the ancient dinque Port town of Romney after an interval of twentyfive years. It is hardly to be expected that much fresh material can be added to that which was so exhau􀆱tively illustrated by the late Canon Scott Robertson and others in 1879; but a new generation has arisen to which Romney Marsh is untrodden ground, and the kindly interest and co-operation shewn by some of the leading residents and authorities in our Proceedings encourage the hope that the Meeting will prove both attractive and useful. The Council regret the loss of several of our members, whose services to County Archreology have been eminent in past years. Among these Mr. Matthew Bell, who died on the 24th of December 1908, was au original member, a.nd for forty years one of the Society's trustees; Mr. John Dobree Norwood, who died four days later, had in past years rendered valuable service; and Mr. J. Humphrey, who passed n.way little more than a month ago, for many years ably represented the Society in Romney Marsh; whilst among members of wider celebrity the loss of Mr, Wilfred Joseph Cripps, the great authority on old English Plate, will be generally felt. To the regret of the Council Mr. George Payne, F.S.A., Honorary Secretary and Curator of the Society's oolleotions at Maidstone, has resigned his offices. Mr. Payne's services as Curator and afterwards tl.S Secretary extended over a period of fiftMn years, and for a muoh longer time he l1ad been widely known throughout the county as an energetic explorer and exponent of its primreva.l and Roma.no-British antiquities, and especially of the arohreology of the Sittingbourne district. The question of recommend.ing to the Society a capable successor is one that has caused the Counoil considerable anxiety. After mature deliberation they have been-:f􀆲rtunate in meeting with a gentleman whom they believe well qualified to undertake the duties. Mr. Sebastian Evans of Canterbury, a nephew of the eminent archreologist Sir John Evans, has kindly consented to allow himself to be nominated. 'l'o the office of Clerk and Curator of the Society's collections at Maidstone the Council hn.ve appointed Mr. Herbert Elgar Assistant Curator of the Maidstone Museum at n, salary of £40 a year. The Couucil hope that by Mr. Elgar's constant attendance at the Museum the Society's collections will be rendered more accessible in the future than in past years. Volume XXVI. of Arckaologia Oantia1ia was issued in April. The Council trust that the standnrd of former volumes has been maintained, and they feel .that any success in this respect is in a large measure due to the able archiwctural papers of the Rev. G. M. Livett, F.S.A. Under the e,uspices of the South Eastern Scientific Societies, the Annue,l Congress of which was held at Maidstone in June last, e, Photographic Survey, including both Archreology and Natural Science, was inaugurated. At the Preliminary Meeting the Council were represented by the Rev. W. GardnerWaterman e,nd the Re􀆳. C. E. Woodruff, who ex.pressed the .hope tl).a.t our xlvi PROCEEDINGS, 1904. Society would warmly co-operate in so desirable an undertaking. Information respecting the proposed Survey may be obtained from Mr. H. F. Wingent of Rochester, the Honorary Secretary. The past year has produced uo striking archrool\)gical discoverie8 within the county. Progress, however, has been made with the exca.vations at St . .A.ugustine's Abbey, Canterbury, which are gradually elucidating the ground plan of this ancient Benedictine house. The Society has made a further grant of .£30 towards the work, but a much larger sum than we are in a position to contribute is urgently needed, and Canon Routledge will be glad to receive subscriptions or donations. Balance Sheets shewing the financial position of the Society have been prepared by Messrs. King, Aocountants, of Gravesend. For some time past a sum of £400, representing the aooumulations of many past years, has been standing on deposit at the Society's Bankers. 'rhe Council have decided that £100, part thereof, be set apart as a .Research Fund, out of which grants for excavations and other special objects may be made from time to time. The Income of the Society is so little in excess of its Ordinary Expenditure that it is impossible to provide adequate assistance to research out of this source without interfering with the regular issue of L1.rckaolo9ia Oaintiana. Although the roll of our members is still a long one compared with similar bodies, the Council feel that in these days of increasing intelligent interest in the study of the past it might be largely extended, and they trust that during the ooming year a. considerable accession of recruits to its ranks will aid in stimulating the activity and augmenting the usefulness of our Society. The Report was unanimously adopted. The Rev. C. E. Woodruff proposed, and the Rev. G. M. Livett seconded, and it was carried unanimously: " That Mr. Sebastian Evans be elected Honorary s􀅛cretary in place of Mr. George Payne, F.S.A., resigned." Mr. Evans having thanked the members for the honour conferred on him, the retiring Members of the Council, the Rev. J. A. Boodle, Colonel Copeland, Mr. F. F. Giraud, the Rev . .A. J. Pearman, Mr. W. H. Burch Rosher, aud the Rev. Canon Routledge, were re-elected. The Rev. C. H. Wilkie, Vicar of Kingston, Mr. G. E. Cockayne of the Heralds' College, and Mr. Hubert Bensted of Bearsted were elected Members of Council. The retiring Honorary .Auditors, Captain Hooper and Mr. H. Hordern, were re-elected. '11he following persons were then elected Ordinary Members of the Society: R. H. Fremlin, Esq., Harry Leney, Esq., the Rev.Julian Guise, M.A., Hugh Laney, Esq., the Rev. Herbert Smith, M . .A.., the Hon. H. Hannen, Captain Read, Thomas Pledge, Esq., Walter PROCEEDINGS,· 1904. xlvii Day, Esq., the Rev. G. 0. Hardy, M.A.., the Rev. Hugh South, B.A .. , the Rev.J.Miller, B.D.,Lieut.-Colonel A. Pennefather, E.Finn, Esq., Lieut.-Colonel H. C. Wilson, W.F. G. Nicholls, Esq., Dr. Herbei:t H. Oliver, the Rev. Hankin Martin, Miss Anna Hussy, Miss MacKay, Miss A ls ton. The members then inspected the interesting collection of antiquities displayed in the temporary museum arranged in the Town Hall. 1'hese included the Corporation maces and insignia, and several of the earliest Charters of the Port. A.n interesting series of maps of the Marsh and its coast from 1588 to 1799, and other documents relating to the history of the district, were lent by Dr. Cock, who had very kindly forwarded for distribution a number of facsimiles of " The Oarde of the Beacons in Kent," from W. Lambarde's second edition of his "Perambulation of the County,'' and a portrait of William Harvey. Other objects of interest were lent by the Rev. R. M. South, Messrs. Arthur Finn, H. W. Stringer, W. Whitehead, '.l'. Brand, G. B. Anderson, A. Masey, A. Barnes, and Miss Bllss. After luncheon the members proceeded to the Church of St. Nicholas, where they were welcomed by the Rev. Hugh South, and the vn.rious points of architectural interest were pointed out by the Rev. G. M. Livett. The original Church, Mr. Livett thought, had a nave of five bays, with a fairly loug square-ended chancel without chapels. The present fine tower was probably built somewhat later even in its lower pot•tions. 1'here had been some alteration of the Church in the thirteenth century, but its extent could not be accUl'ately traced. In the fourteenth century, however, considerable enlargements had been made, the new portion beiug built round the old Church, which was disturbed as little as possible. The party then drove to the Church of All Saints, Lydd, where the members were received by the Rev. G. 0. Hardy, the Rector. Here also Mr. Livett acted as guide. Especial attention was called to the remains of the eighth-century Saxon Church, which now forms the western corner of the north aisle, and the gradual growth of the main portion of the Church was explained in detail. We hope to print Mr. Livett's paper on this fine Church in a subsequent volume. Mr. Arthur l!'inu then briefly described the monuments and brasses. From Lydd progress was made to the Church 0£ St. Augustine, Brookland, where the Vicar, the Rev. N. L. Batson, welcomed the party and displa.yed. for their iQspection the ea.dy Register Books. xlviii PROCEEDINGS,. 1904. Mr. J. Oldrid Scott, F.S.A., described the Church, its interesting detached cn,mpanile of timber-work, and nne late-Norman fout of lead. On the return journey to Romney a halt was made at the Church of St. Clement, Old Romney, wllich was briefly described by the Rev. G. M. Livett and the Rev. J. Wilkinson, the Rector. Upon the return of the members to Ntiw Romney the Annual Dinner was held in the Assembly Rooms. Lord Stanhope presided, supported by the Mayor, Alderman Edwin Finn, Lieut .• Colonel Pennefother, Mr. Arthur Finn, the Rev. G. M. and Mrs. Livett, Mr. and Mrs. Cumberland Woodruff, the Rev. C. E. Woodruff, and about sixty others. The Evening Meeting was held at the National School Room, under the Presidency of Lieut.-Colonel N. Pennefather. Mr. Arthur Finn, the Local Secretary £or New Romney, read an interesting paper, "Notes and Extracts from Lydd Records," which was much appreciat􀅟d by all present, and a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to him at the close. A paper was also read by the Rev. G. M. Livett on" Leaden Fonts," which was well illustrated by lantern slides, and a hearty vote of thanks to this gentleman brought the proceedings to a conclusion. On Wednesday the 27th the company partook of luncheon and proceeded in carriages to St. Mary's in the Marsh, where some delay was caused by a heavy thunderstorm. The members were received by the Rectoi·, the Rev. E.W. Woolatt, and the Church was described by the Rev. C. E. Woodruff. I vychurch was next visited, where the Rector, the Rev. J. A. Miller, described tbe fine Church, to the fabric of which some exten sive and much needed repairs are in course of execution. At Ruckinge, which was also visited, the members were welcomed by the Rev. R. Hamer, and the Church of St. Mary Magdalene was described by Mr. J. Oldrid Scott. Owing to delays caused by the wet weather it was decided to omit the visit to Bilsington Church and to proceed at once to -the Priory, where, after tea, kindly provided for the members of th􀅠 Society by Mr. and Mrs. W. Stone bridge, Mr. Cumberland Woodruff read the following paper on the remains of the Augustinian Priory:- BILSINGTON PRIORY. The Priory of Bilsington was founded in 1258 by John Mansell, Provost of Beverley, and dedicated in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary for Canons Regula.r of the Order of St. Augustine. · · BILSINGTON PRIORY, W. BILSINGTON PRIORY, E. PROCEEDINGS, 1904. xlix The founder, a man of note in Henry the Third's reign, and described by Matthew Pnris as "prudent, circumspect, and rich," stood high in the King's favour, and received so many preferments at his hands that he is generally spoken of as" the great pluralist." Ecclesiastic, lawyer, soldier, diplomatist-John Mansell may indeed be described as a man who in bis time played many parts. Bilsington is mentioned in Domesday as held by Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, and on his forfeiture came into the hands of the Earls of Arundel, beillg held in grand serjeanty by the service of presenting the King's Cup on his coronation. On the death of Hugh, Earl of Arundel, in 124::J, the manor was divided amongst his £our sisters as co heiresses, and Upper Bilsington, or Bilsingtou Priory as it was afterwards called, became a distinct manor from Lower Bilsington, which iucluded the Church and Court Lodge. A vestige of the original tenure remained. In the third year of Edward I. the Prior of Bilsington is descrihed as having part of a serjeanty, holding this portion of the manor by serving the King with his cup on Whit Sunday. Upon a commanding eminence of the clay hills, surrounded by woodland, much of which remains to this day, and overlooking Romney Marsh, the Priory, thus founded and en.. A letter £rom Mr. Robert Hoar of Maidstone, with regard to the proposed ,demolition of the old Gate House at the entrance of the Palace Gardens, was read by the Honorary Secretary, and Mr. Livett told the Council that he had been present with a deputation to the Corporation to protest against its destruction. He had pointed out that the building was certainly old, being fourteenth-century work, that any objection to its present ugliness could easily be put right, and tha.t the objection aa to its interfering with a view of the Church would not hold good, as it was the fault of the trees. It was resolved that the Honorary Secretary write to the General Purposes Committee, saying that the Council of the Kent Archreologi.cal Society, while fully appreciatillg the good work done in tho neighbourhood of the Palace, earnestly deprecated the demolition of the ancient gatehouse. The following were elected members of the Society: Messrs. E. J. Holden, J ease Lam1ily Thomas, A. G. Little, Mrs . .Ashley Dodd, Mrs. Gascoyne. The Annual Meeting was held at the town of Gravesend on Tuesday, ,July 25th, 1905. The Noble President, Lord Northbourne, was with the members of the Society met by the Mayor, G. M. Al'nold, Esq., D.L., F.S.A., and Corporation at the Town Hall, and welcomed in a fe.w well chosen words, to which Lord Northbourne cordially replied. The General Meeting was then proceeded with. Lord Northbourne called upon the Secretary to read the Report, which was adopted on the motion of the Noble Lord, seconded by the Mayor, Mr. G. M. Arnold. D1·. Charles Cotton of Ramagate was unanimously elected a member of the Council. PROCEE.l>IN'GS, 1905. lix The six ret1ring members of the Council, Messrs. A. A. Arnold, Leland L. Duncan, Arthur Finn, J. Oldrid Scott, the Rev. T. S. Frampton, and the Hon. Robert Marsham-Townshend, were unanimously re-elected. Mr. Arnold proposed, Mr. Chapman seconded, and it was carried unanimously," That the retiring Auditors, Messrs. Herbert Hordern and C. l!\ Hooper, be re-elected." On the proposal of the Rev. C. E. Woodruff, seconded by the Honorary Secretary, Mr. J. Meadows Cowper; F.S.A., was unanimously elected an Honorary Member of the Society. The following Ordinary Members were elected: Spencer Borden, Esq., Interlaken, Fall River, Mass., U.S.A., the Rev. H. D. Dale, M.A., Hythe Vicarage, Kent, Martin Miller, Esq., Waterfield, Scotts Lane, Shortlands'. This concluded the Business Meeting, and the company, which consisted of over 200 members and their friends, proceeded in carriages to the residence of the Mayor at Milton Hall, where they were entertained at luncheon in a spacious marquee near the entrance to the Park. At the conclusion of the repast Lord N orthbourne said it was impossible for the company to separate without thanking Mr. G. M. Arnold for the entertainment that he hacl afforded them, and wishing Mr. and Mrs. A.rnold many years of health in which to enjoy·their demesne among sueh beautiful surroundings. A move was then made for the brakes, and after a pleasant drive a. visit was· made to S·horne Church, where the members of the Society were welcomed by the Rev. A. L. Coates, M.A., who gave an interesting historical account of the Church. The party then drove on to Cobham Church through beautiful scenery, and on arrival were received by the Rev. A. Berger, M.A. The Rev. A. A. Arnold read a paper
