walls of Eynsford Castle. M:r. 'fill has not only purchased the lease of the
Castle, but bas expended v, large sum of money in buttressing the tottering walls
of the fabric. The same laudable desire to preserve the monuments of antiquity
in our county hns prompted the Marquis Camden to carry out the sorely needed
i·cparn.tion of the mag11ifieent ruins of llayham Abbey; and likewise Mr. Falche,
who !ms caused judicious repairs to be done at Allington Ca.stle.
'l'he Council embraces this opportunity of referring to the great public spirit
shewu by Mr. F. S. W. Cornwallis, late M.P. for this Borough, in ecently

purchasing the ancient college at Maidstone at a. cost of £3800, for the sole
purpose of preventing it being acquired for commercial uses or threatened with
destruction. Mr. Cornwallis has already received a special vote of thanks from
the Council in recognition of his liberal a.et of conservatism, which, however,
demands also the gratitude of all archroologiscs tl1roughout the country.
The Council is taking steps towards completing the inventory of " Kentish
Church Plate," commenced some years since by the late Canon Scott Robertson.
It is hoped that the Rev. C. E. Woodruff, Rector of Otterden, who has kindly
undertaken to collect the returns, will receive tho prompt assistance of those
clergy with whom he has already communicated.
At the last meeting of the Council at the house of the Noble President in
Grosvenor Place, a. sum of £50 was unanimously voted towards the important
excavations now being carried on in St. Augustine's Field, Canterbury, and we
may anticipate that this liberal grant will help to enable the operators to reveal
matters of the highest historic interest.
In the last volume of 01n· Arcluwlogia ii Paper was contributed by the Rev.
G. M. Livett on the remains of an Early-Norman building existing between the
we8t end of All Saints Church ttnd the Pn.lace at Maidstone. It i necessary to
draw the pecial attention of the trustees of the Palace to this, the earliest

will, and both of them evinced a lively interest in the erection and
completion of this Church.
The death of the founder may have interfered with the com•
pletion of the a1·chitect's plans. When the chancel's southern walls
were commenced, the architect intended to place a groined roof over
the south chancel. He carried the vaulting shafts up to a consider.
able height in the south wall, but they still remain unfinished. Some
stones, which had been cut for the completion of those vaulting
shafts, were afterwards slightly altered and used in a jamb of tLe
eastern window of the north aisle. These facts indicate that the
builders began with the south.eastern portion of the edifice. Further
intimations of difficulties, caused probably by lack of funds after
Archbishop Oourtenay's death, occur in the clerestory windows.
Mr. Whicbcord found that their heads and mullion!! are worked
out of different kinds of stone, auf!troyed: the roof and ceiling which he designed are
quite gone; the rood-11creeu, with its panels brightly coloured, is
also goue. The architect made much use of his rood-screen,
placing it in the nave one bay westwal'd from the chancel, and
PROCEEDINGS, 1901. xlv
carrying it completely across the Church as at Leeds and at EaRtchurch
in Sheppey. We see the door of entrance to the rood-loft
stairs still remaining in the north wall, and we know that he
inserted the rood staircase as an external turret, which occupies the
place and does tbe work of a buttress to the north wall. The
upper door, which gave access from this turret to the rood-loft
itself, is now blocked up and plastered over.
The rood-screen, thus placed, enclosed spaces for two small
chapels, one at the east end of each aisle of the nave. Within each
enclosure an altar stood beneat11 the east window of the aisle.
In the south wall the square-headed niche of the piscina still
remains. It is said that there, in the south aisle, stood the
altar of St. Katherine, and that at it a chantry priest served, who
should daily pray for the soul of Robert Vinter. This chantry was
founded by his executors in tl1e old Church of St. Mary in 1369,
and was endowed with lands called Goulds and Shepway.
The altar against the east wall of the north aisle may have been
dedicated to St. Mary. Outside the east end of this aisle, in the
angle formed by two buttresses which meet at its north-east corner,
there is a canopied niche, in which a statue of St. Mary is said to
have stood.
Another lost feature of the original plan is the illuminated
screen-work, which undoubtedly divided the high chancel from the
side chancels. A fragment 0£ it, which remains in the north-eastern
bay of the urcade, enables us to understand how effective an
adjunct this screen-work must have been when it was continued
down the entire length of the chancel from east to west. It gave
a finished and complete appearance to the flue range of chancel
stalls, and probably such screen-work was placed symmetrically on
both sides of the high chancel.
This screen-work separated the side altar spaces from the high
altar. It is believed that the north chancel contained an altar
dedicated in the sacred name of Jesus our Lord, and that the
chaplain of the Corpus Christi Brotherhood, founded in 1441,
officiated there daily. The high altar was dedicated to All Saints.
The altar in the south chancel was called that of St. Thomas the
M.iwtyr. 0£ this we are assured by the will of John Wootton, the
first Master of the College. He directed that he should be interred
"before the altn.1· of St Thomas the Martyr in the south aisle."
There, as we see, his tomb stills remains. There, also, n, chantq
priest had previously been endowed by Archbishop Arundel in
xlvi PROCEEDINGS, 1901.
1406 (,July 4), to celebrate daily at the altar of St. Thoma-s the
Martyr.
The tomb of John Wootton hM lost very much of tlie beautiful
colouring with which it was adorned, but some of it still remains.
On the large !,!)ab which forms the table of the altar-tomb there
was a fine monumental brass b0aring W ootton'Fl effigy, but the
bra!ls hns becu gone for centuries. On the nort11 wall above t1ic
slab is depicted a scene ,,·hich the artiHt r,;upposed to occur when
the good .John Wootton, habited in pure aml 11poiless white
raiment, entered the heavenly home. He is represented as being
of very small statui-e compared with the saints to whom he is
introduced. An angel presents him to the Virgin Mary, who i.i
seated; behind her RtandB 8t. Katherine with her wheel. On the
other side, behind the angel, standl:l another female saint, who may
be St. Mary Magdalene. At the east end of the tomb Archbishop
Courtenay, patron of Wootton and founder of this Church, is
represcuted in full pontifieals. Opposite to him, on the western
panel, is the figure of a billhop, nnd much speculation has been
caused by the queBtio11, whom can thi1:1 figure commemorate.

around him in honour of the five wounds of our Blessed Lord.
One of the tapers was to be placed by his heart to designate that
his mind was Godward, and the other four were to be placed at his
head, feet, and sides, thus forming a cross. He bequeathed to the
Churcl1, for use at this altar of St. Thomas, two missals (one
great and one small), two chalices of silver, a paxbread, two silver
phials, a silver-gilt image of St. Thomas, and his entire suit of
vestments, which he had devoted for use at this altar. .John
Wootton was a distinguished man, who had been Rector of Friudsbury
and Rector of Staplehurst.
The sediUa were originally more handsome than any otl1ers in
Kent. They comprjsed four canopied stalls, and attached to the
easternmost was either a credence table or a fifth seat higher than
the rest. At present the monuments of the Astley family greatly
obscure the seats, and to accommodate those monuments the
cusping of the lower tabernacle work of the canopies ,vas much
mutilated. The canopies of the three central stalls of the sedilia
are surmounted by three octagonal open turrets, each formed of
two tiers of arches with miniature buttresses, croclceted canopies,
and a cror.keted spire. The entit-e work is elaborate aud elegant,
beyond anything to be expected in the collegiate church of an
ordinary town. The frequent presence of the Archbishop at
service here no doubt accounts for the beauty of these sedilia.
The Primates often used this Church for ordinations and other
ceremonies of importance. For instance, Archbishop Arundel held
one ordination here in December (22) 1403, three ordinu,tions here
in 14-07 (one in March, one in May, and a third in September),
one in 1408, another in 1409, and so on. Thus in A.11 Saints,
Maidstone, many of the distinguished prelates and dignitaries of
the Middle Ages received their Orders of Priesthood or of the
Diaconate. Archbishop Kemp, who successively held the See of
York and the See of Canterbu1·y, received Priest's Orders here;
and at the same ordination in this Church Deacon's Orders were
conferred upon Philip Morgan, who became at first Bishop of
Worcester and then Bisho_p of Ely. Many such insfances might
be mentioned.
This frequent use of All Saints' Church by the Archbishops for
ceremonies 0£ great pomp and importance likewise accounts for
the large number of stalls in the chancel. At the west end there are
eight, facing eastward. These alone were sufficient to accommodate
the Master and Fellows of the College as we find them in 1511.
xlviii 'PROCEEl>INGS, 1901.
Twenty more stalls however are here, ten on each side (facing north
or south) ; these would accommodate dignified personages from the
Palace who attended the Pontifical services herfl. The carvings
beneath the seats of twenty of the stalls remain in their original
state; eight other geats have been replaced by fixed boards, uncarved.
In addition to the armorial coats of members of the Courtenay
family and of Guy de Mone, there are carvings of foliage, two or
tl1ree grote,que heads, and one curious fignre of a scullion or cook
with a basting ladle in his left hand. 'l'hc carvingf! are all well
executed. The floor 0£ the high chance], in which these stalls stand,
is elevated two feet or more above that of the nave, rendering
necessary an ascent of four or five steps.
When Archbishop Warbam held bis Visitation of the College
in 1511 it was carried out for him by Dr. Cuthbert Tunstall, who
held bis Court for the purpose "in a vel:ltibule within this Collegiate
Church." Whether the present vestry was that vestibule or not
we cannot tell. Hither he summoned the Master William
Grocyn, Bachelor in Theology, Giles .Rede, the Submaster, and
five other Fellows, viz., Thomas Nicholls (a chaplain), l{obert
·ward (a chaplain), David KnowdiHley, the 1:1teward who was Rector
of Crundale, 'fbomas Hauson (a chaplain), and John Cotyn (a
chaplain).
The vestibule in which Cuthbert Tunstall held the Archbishop's
Visitation Court in 1511 may have been that in which the Arcbbisbop's
Official or Commis1:1ary usually sat to receive proof of wills
throughout the fifteenth century. Aa in the old Church of
St. Mary, so in the Collegiate Church of All Saints, there was
some chapel or velltibule devoted to the purposes of what we
should call a Probate Court. A 11 the wills of persons residing
in Maidstone and its neighbourhood were proved here for several
centuries.
Possibly the vestry is that vestibule wherein the Probate Court
was held. At present you will find in this vestry a series of
engraved portraits of the Archbi:,hops, a portrait of the Archdeacon
of Maidstone, and portraits 0£ four or five Vicars of Maidstone.
The font is remarkable as being of antique octagonal form, and
yet dating only from the time of King ,James I. Upon its aides
are carved the arms of the .<\atley family (who probably presented
this font to the Church), and the arms of France, Scotland, and
Ireland quarterly, without the arms of England. 1t is very
singular that so remarkable an insult to the English nation should

quarter and the fourth are both occupied by the lilies of France.
[An account of the monumental inscriptions and various
alterations made in the fittings of the Church during the nineteenth
century followed, but as these are described more fully in the late
Mr. Cave-Bro-wne's History of the Church, it is not necessary to
reprint them here.]
Progress was then made to Leeds Ca-stle, where the members
were most cordially received by C. P. Wykeham-Martin, Esq., and
Mrs. Wykeham-Martin. In the hall Mr. F. V. James, Curator of
the Maidstone Museum, read the following descriptive account of
the chief architectural features of the Castle:-
LEEDS CASTLE.*
I do not propose to engage your attention with parl;iculars
of the many persons (of more or less celebrity) who have been
owners or occupiers of this Castle in bygone times, but I shall
treat the Castle as an illustrative example of the military archi.
tecture of the Middle Ages.
First, to speak of the Castle generally. It stands upon three
rocky knolls, of which two are islands in a lake of about 15 acres in
extent, and the third occupies the central part of the artificial
b:ink by which the waters are or were retained. The entral and
1::wger island is smrounrled hy a wall strongly revetted, rising to a
height of about 15 feet out of the water, and fut'llished with semicircular
bastions or flanking towers having flat inner faces and
conical roofs. There is evidence also of the existence of a
chamber with a fireplace and garderobe in one o:f these towers, which
in all probability were loopholed. 'l'he surrouudiug wall formed
the boundary of the outer wa1·d or bailey. About 40 feet inside
this, and concentric with it, was the wall of the inner bailey, of
which indications only remain; it was about 8 feet thick and
20 feet high. On the late Mr. Charles Wykeham-Martin's plan
this is termed, in accordance with fortification phraseology, the
"enceinte wall." Connecting the two walls nt each end of the
island were the gatehouses, of which that on the iiouth remains.
'l'he oldest recognizable part of this is a doorway of the time of

Henry III., although the gatehouse itself has been sometimes
described as Norman work. Here was the constable's room, with
apartments for the guards and others .
.A. modern house erected in 1822 stands on the site of the
original domestic buildings which occupied the northern part of
the island, the only exception being a Late-Norman vaulted cellar
beneath the present entrance hall, the masonry of which is the
oldest in the place. Near the Mai,len'fi 'l'ower (n. building of
Henry VIIIth's time and long posterior to the parts now under
review) is a water tower with II very remarlrnble bath, coristrurtPrl
for the use of Edward I. in lfll-2. It cnmmunit•ittPtl with the
lake by means of a passage in which :ire still HCCll t.lw rot>1'eK for
the portcullis. The water appears to have been excluded or
retained by means of an ingenious arrangement of flush-boards or
sluices, which allowed of the cleaning of the bath without letting off
the water of the moat. In his work on Leeds Castle the late
Mr. Wykeham-Martin gives an account of his investigations into
the accounts (of Queen Eleanor's executors, A.D. 1291-3) relating
to this peculiar structure, from which it appears that the area of the
chamber equals that of the hundred Reigate stoneA 2 feet square,
specified therein as being obtained for use in its construction.
So far as we bave gone it will be Aeon that thiA Castle iR, or hu.R
been, a concentric Rtructure, a plan much in UAe in the latte1· ludf
of tho reign of Henry I IT. and throughout that of TMwarlate, viz., "Sable, three
bars and as many cinquefoils in chief or." On the edge of the
plate is the name of tho artist, Edward Marshall. A tablet in the
south chapel has the following inscription: "Richard Argall of
East Sutton in the County of Kent, Esquier, deceased Anno domiui
1588, leaving five souues and six daughters living. Mary his second
wife, one of the daughters of Sir Reynald Scott of Scott's Hall in
the County of Kent, Knight, marryed ye second tyme to Lawrence
Washington, Esquier, dyed in anuo 1601.* Thomas Argall, eldest
souue of ye sayd Richard and Mary, dyed in anuo 1605." Several
shields, both on tablets and in the windows, bear the a1·ms of the
Scott family, "Argent, three Catherine-wheels sable, a bordure
engrailed gules."
Another inscription commemorates " M'5 Dorothy Filmer, wife
of Beversharn Filmer, gsqr, and second daughter of William Henley,
Esqrc, of Gore Court in this county .... She d.ie.d Oct. 14th, 1793,
aged 57 years." 'rhe arms are FILMER impaling HEN.OLEY, "Paly
bendy azure and gules eight mullets or." There are memorials to
this family in Otham Church.
Mr. Wells further gave a description of the ancient heraldic
glass in the windows of the Church.

was buried in M:iidstone Church. He may hu.ve belonged to the family from

RESEARCHES AND DISCOVERIES IN KENrr,
1900-1901.
BY GEORGE PAYNE, F.L.S., F.S.A.
RooHEST'ER.-In the summer of 1900 excavations were made
for the purpose of building a strong-room beneath the offices of
Messrs. Arnold, Baker, and Day, which stand upon the College
Green at Rochester. During the progress of the work the Roman
road was discovered which led from the north gate to the south
gate of the city, settling, beyond dispute, the course of that way
between the two gates. If the Rev. G. M. Livett's Map of
Medireviil Rochester, in Arelu.eolo,qia Oantiana, Vol. XXI., is
rferred to, and straight lines drawn from the site of the Roman
north gate to that of the south gate, it will be seen that the Saxon
Cathedral Church and Messrs. Arnold and Co.'s offices were built
across the line of the ancient way; hence it is very satisfactory to
have met with a portion of it below the latter, as shewn in the
accompanying Plan kindly prepared by Mr. E. F. Cobb, Architect,
of Rochester, to illustrate these notes. The reference to tbe
elevation of the south side of the excavation beneath the office,
formerly used as a Police Court, is as follows :-
A. Modern brick walls.
A'. Modern rubble wall.
B. '.rop of Roman road, 2 feet 8 inches below floor line, paved
with blocks of rag-stone about 8 inches square laid in
a bed of mortar 2 inches thick.
C. Rammed chalk, 4 to 6 inches thick.
D. Flints and sharp gravel mixed, containing fragments of
Roman tile, a hard compact bed, about 2 feet 4 inches
thick.
E. Original vegetable mould .
. e. Thin layer of' chalk or lime marking the original ground
line, all above this being made ground.
F. Natural gravelly stratwm with flints.
lx RESEARC!i:ES AND DISCOVERIES IN KENT.
At some period the Roman road towards the north had been
removed, where, at a depth of about 11 feet below the floor of
the Police Court, the remains of a human skeletou were found,
indicating an interment prior to the Jfoman occupation (marked X
on the Plan). At the spot marked O numerous oyster-shells were
met with. To the west of the Roman road a pit was discovered,
stei11ed with chalk and flints, but nothing was found in it to give a
clue to its date.
During the excavations two Roman coint:1 were brought to light,
one of the minimi class, the other reaben's discovery indicates Roman burials. 'rhcre is 110
doubt he has come upon the site of an ustrinwm, where bodies
were burnt, and in _connection with a Roman eemetery which
exists at or near Woodnesborough, similar to that whicl1 I found at
East Hall, M urston ( see Oolleatanea Oantiana).
LowEn W ALM'.En..-A discovery has been made here of Roman
interments of contliderab1e interest, which my friend, Mr. Cumberland
H. Woodruff, F.S.A., has kindly surveyed for me, an
account of which will be found from him in the present Volume.
Do1>1HNGTO:N'.-The lwv. C. E. Woodruff report:! that Mr .
.J arvis has secured a second gold solidus of Valentinian from Dully
Wood, DodEY.-My friend Dr. Arrol informed me that
a gold coin was in the possession of Mr. George McKee of the "Sea
View" Hotel, Sheerness, which was found four or five years ago
along the shore between Minster and Warden. It had been
washed out of the cla.y which had fallen from the cliff. Mr.
McKee kindly shewed me the coin, which reads thus :-

the Emperor holding a long cross in the right hand, his foot
treading on the head of a dragon. In the exergue, RA (Mint
mark of Ravenna); beneath, OOMOB. Stevenson's .Dictionary of
Roman Coins gives "COMOB, otherwise CONOB=Oonstantinopoli
Obsi!Jnata, or Consfctntinopoli ojficina Secunda."
This discovery in Sheppey is welcome, aa we know next to
nothing about the occupation of the island by the Romans. 'rhere
is no doubt that numerotn1 antiquities have gone down with the
cliff:::J and been carried away by the sea for centuries; but now that
a Light Railway runs through the island, buildings will spring up
along its course in due time, when we may hope to see some
evidences of its early history.
