.ABSTR.A.CT OF PROCEEDINGS, 1908-1910.
December 10th, 1908.-The Council met in the Treasury of
Canterbury Cathedral. Thirteen members present, Lord Northbourne
in the chair.
1'he following report of the Finance Committee was read : "The
Committee met at the Royal Museum, Canterbury, on October 22nd,
1908, Lord Northbourne (President), Messrs. Arnold, Monckton,
and Chapman being present. The Hon. Secretary reported that he
had heard from the Hon. Treasurer, who did not feel able to
undertake the onerous duties which the collection of the subscriptions
in the manner suggested would throw upon him ; and the
Hon. Secretary further reported that his own endeavours had so far
been successful that the arrears of £213 which existed at the
commencement of the year h&d now been reduced to about £82,
and he hoped before the end of the year to reduce them still
further.
"The Committee requested the Hon. Secretary to send notices
to the subscribers who were more than one year in arrear to the
effe.ct that their names would be removed from the 1·011 of the
Society if their subscriptions were not paid, and to report
the result to the next meeting of the Council.
"The Committee rely on the Hon. Secretary continuing his
exertions, and urge the same duty on the Hon. Local Secretaries.
"The Committee do not at p1·esen t recommend any change in the
manner of collection to be made.
"Dated October 22nd, 1908. (Signed) NoRTHBOURNE."
xllv :PROOEEDl'.NGS, 1909.
The Report was adopted, and it wns decided that the Finance
Oommittee, consisting of the President, the Hon. Treasurer,
Messrs. Arnold, Monckton, Chapman, and the Rev. W. GardnerW
aterroan, be a permanent one.
A letter was read from Messrs. King and Sou, the Society's
accountants, with reference to increased remuneration, and an
honorarium of two guineas was unanimously granted.
Mr. H. E. Boulter of Effingham House, Ramsgate, was
appointed Hon. Local Secretary, vice the Rev. W. ,aite, resigned.
Eynsford was selected a{! the centre £or the next Annual
Meeting, and Messrs. Cooke and Monckton were appointed a
committee to assist the Hon. Secretary in making arrangements
for visiting the Megalithic Remains in the neighbourhood of
Maidstone.
Mr. W. J. King was appointed Hon. Local Secretary, vice
Mr. G. M. Arnold, deceased.
It was agreed to subscribe two guineas to a memorial to the
late Mr. J. M. Cooper, an Honorary Member of the Society.
The Historical Society of Wisconsin was elected to membership.
The members of the Council afterwards lunched with Mr. H. M.
Chapman.
March 11th, 1909.-The Council met at the Society's rooms,
Maidstone. Fifteen membe1·s present, Lord Northbourne in the
chair.
The cash account of receipts and expenses prepared by Messrs.
King and Son was read, together with a letter pointing out that
the arrears shewed very little difference from the a-mount shewn at
the end of the previous year.
'l'he Hon. Secretary subu1itted a list of members whose
subscriptions were more than two years in arrear. A number of
names were struck o:ff the register, and· the Hon. Secretary was
directed to make renewed application to the remainder.
It was agreed that the Kent Volumes of the Victorian History
of the Oounties of Jj)n,qland should be purchased £or the Society a,s
they were published.
It was decided that the Annual Meeting should take place on
July 26th and 2'7th, and that the dinner and evening meeting
should be held at Maidstone.
Sir Martin Conway invited the Society to tea at Allington
Castle.
PROCEEDINGS, 1909. ·xlv
A sum of £8 was voted to the Walmer Chamber of Commerce
towards the purchase of Roman relics found in the grounds of
Walmer Court.
The following were elected Ordinary Members: A. H. Taylor,
H. Swainson Cooper, and T. Sills.
June 10th, H>09.-The Council met at the Coburg Hotel,
London, where they lunched at the invitation of the President.
Seventeen members present, Lord Northbourne in the chair.
It wa..c:; agreed that the names of members who at the next
.Annual Meeting should be two years in arrear in payment of their
annual subsc1·iptions should lJe entered on the minutes and their
names struck off the roll of members.
The following were elected Ordinary Members : Miss M. L.
Hope James, A. Leon Adutt., Mrs. Wilkinson, Vt. H. Bensted,
G. B. Ewing, R. Vaughan Gower, G. B. Ellice-Clark, and H. E.
Wilkin.
The fifty-second .Annual Meeting was held at Eynsford and
Maidstone on the 27th and 28th of .r uly 1909.
In the absence of the President, who owing to a delay in the
trains dicl not arrive until the clmie of tbe meeting, the Rev. J. A.
Boodle was voted to the chair.
The Hon. Secretary read the Annual leport, which was adopted
on the motion of Mr. H. E. Boulter, seconded by Mr. L. M. Biden.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1909.
THE Council has much pleasure in presenting their fifty-second
Annual Report in the village of Eynsford, a dist.rict which has not
hitherto been visited by the Society.
During the past year the hand of death has rested lightly
on our promineut members, though we have to regret the loss
of Lord Sackville, one of om· Vice-Presidents, and of several
others who have taken a, iess active part in onr proceedings.
Turning to the Financial position of the Society, the question
of arrears, etc., ha. engaged the careful attention of the
Finance Committee appointed to enquire into this subject; of
these arrears a good proportion has now been collected, but it
bas been necessary to write off no less than from £50 to £60
as irrecoverable. The Committee do not think that the present
system of collection by Local Secretaries can be improved upon,
!l.S it is recouized that the Loci1,! Secretiiris have greit infl:uenc
xlvi PROCEEDINGS, 1909.
in their several districts, but it is to be hoped that they will m,e
their best endeavours to collect subscriptions early in the year.
The Committee also recognize the fact that no regular Volume has
been published since 1905, and doubtless some members may expect
that a. Volume is due to them, but the delay in issuing a Volume
bas arisen from the fact that there has been a change of Editors,
and that our present Editor bas been overwhelmed with work of
• a Diocesan nature, which bas taken up bis entire attention. A copy,
however, of the new Volume is now on view, and it is hoped that by
the middle 0£ August they will be :ready for distribution to the
members. The members will no doubt recollect that in 1905
n. sum of £10 was voted to the work of repairing and binding the
Bishops' Registers at Rochester, and Mr. Day reports as follows:
" The seven earliest registere, including the Registrum Spiritualium
and the Registrum Temporalium, all of which were in a. very
dilapidated condition, have been very carefully cleaned, repaired,
and bound in seal. Seven volumes of the Acts of CoUl't have been
cleaned, repaired, and half-bound in leather, and the two volumes
of Archdeacons' Visitations have been bound in leather. The
binding has been most excellently done by Mr. Douglas Cockerell,
of Messrs. W. H. Smith and Sons, Lewhworth, and I propose to
carry on the work from time to time as funds will allow. I haYe
collected and expended in all £54 18s. llal., and have a balance of
about £8 for further work. Tliere are still some volumes which
have l)ractically no binding at all. It is also very desirable that
the older marriage allegations which are often referred to should
be bound, and not, as !l.t present, kept tied up in bundles."
During the past year few discoveries have been made, but
reference may be made to a paper read before the Society of
Antiquaries by Mr. Hurd on some important finds of late Celtic
antiquities associat ed with burials, recently made iu the Isle of
Thanet, mainly in the parish of St. Peter. The pottery shews
affinity with that found in graves at Aylesford, and described in
.A.1·cht:eologia by Dr. Arthur Evans, and, although the complete
details hiwe not yet been published, it is clear that the Isle of
Thanet must have been a centre of considemble population during
a t least a. part of the Early Iron Age.
The following members of the Council who retired by rotation
were re-elected: Messrs. R. Cooke, L. L. Duncan, A. Finn, C. W.
?oweH, J. Oldrid Scott, and the Rev. T, S, Frampto:q,
PROCEEDINGS, 1909. xlvii
The Honorary Auditors, Captain Hooper and Mr. Hordern,
were also re-elected. .,
The following were elected Ordinary Members: H. Wilson,
,J.C. Goldsack, H. B. Vinten, J. E. Couchman, W. Denne, A. H.
Berney, R. G. Baird, H. F. Madders, aud the ltev. J. Rooker.
In reply to Mr. W. Denne, the Hon. Secretary said that he had
been in communication with the trustees of Rich borough Castle;
he hoped that the vacancies in the trusteeship would be soon filled
up, and that excavations with a view to discovering the meaning of
the platform would be accomplished during the autumn.
After the preliminary meeting the members adjourned to
Eynsford Ca.stle, which was described by Mr. E. D. Till, who
informed the company that the Castle was built in the reign of
Henry II., and as late as 1835 was said to possess the most perfect
example of a curtain wall in the country.
Progress was then made to the adjacent house of "Little
Mote," where the Society was received by Mrs. Fountain in the
absence of Mr. H. Fountain. The old rooms in the house were
much admired by the members, more especially one in ,,hich the
Arms of the Sybill Family appeared on the spandrel of the Tudor
.fireplace. Mr. G. C. Druce read an interesting paper on these
arms. The President, who had then arrived, thanked Mrs. J!'ountain
for having allowed the members to view her house, and she briefly
replied.
The members then partook of luncheon in the Drill Hall, after
which carriages conveyed the party to )farningbam Church, where
the Rev. G. M. Livett read a paper on the architectural features,
and Mr. G. C. Druce gave an address on the Font.
The Parish Church of Eynsford was next visited, where the
Rev. G. M. Livett again explained the history and architechu·e.
The party then drove to Lullingstone Castle, the seat of Sir W.
Hart Dyke, where the tombs in the little Church of St. Botolph
were described by Miss Hart Dyke, and the interesting mansion by
Sir William and Lady Emily Hart Dyke. Tea was generously
provided for the members, who, after Lord Nortbbourne had
expressed his thanks to Sir William and· Lady Hart Dyke, left
Lullingstone for Eyns£ord Station, where a train was caught for
Maidstone, and where some forty members sat down to dinner at
the Star Hotel. Lord N orthbourne proposed success to the Society,
and in reply to the toast of his health remarked that he did not think
that h!3 b!L4 beg thl!-t rqom 13ice his fother waa Hih Sh.eri1f,
xlviii PROCEEDINGS, 1909.
The Evening Meeting was held in the Museum by kind
permission of the Mayor and Co1·poration, and was attended by
about 150 membe1·s and friends. Mr. H. Swainson Cowper read a
paper on some Kentish Firebacks, and Mr. G. C. Druce gave a most
interesting address on Animal Carvings in Churches, illustrated by
some remarkable lantern slides.
On \Vednesday motor-cars were requisitioned owing to tbe
distance to be covered. Leaving the Museum at 11.30 the White
Ho1•i;e Stone was first visit-ed, and an address given by Mr. F. J,
Bennett of West Malling.
Kit's Coty House was next visited, where again Mr. Bennett
read a paper, and some remarks were made by the Hon. Secretary.
The Countless Stones or Lower Kit's Coty House arrested the
members' attention, and Major Powell Cotton remarked that during
his journeys in Abyssinia he bad seen similar stones in native
villages which marked burial places.
The journey was continued to West Malli11g, where lu.ncheon
was provided at the Swan Hotel, after which progress was made to
Ti·ottescliffe Church, where the members were 1·eceived by the
Vicar, the Rev. 0. W. Shepherd, and thence to Cold1·um, where
short addresses were delivered by Mr. W. G. Bennett, F.G.S.,
aud the ltev. G. M. Livett. It was suggested that permission
should be obtained from the owner, the Hon. Ralph Nevill, to clear
the stones from weeds and brambles.
1rhe hour being now very late the Stones in Addington Park
could not be visited, and the party proceeded direct to Allington
Castle, where Sir Martin Conway kindly provided tea and
courteously escorted the members over his interesting residence.
After thanking Sir Martin £or his hospitality the company
returned to Maidstone and dispe1·sed.
Amongst those present on one or both days may be mentioned:
The President; Sir Martin Conway, Mr. Herbert Monckton, Major
and Mrs. Powell Cotton, Mrs. and Miss Ashley Dodd, Mrs. Golding,
Mr. Henry Thompson, Hon. R. Marsham-Townsend,· Mr. A. Joyce,

September 9th, 1909.-The Council met at f:he Bridge Wardens'
Chamber, Rochester, the members having been entertained to
luncheon previously by the Rev. Canon Pearman and Mr. A. A.
Arnold. Fourteen members present, the Rev. Canon Pearman in
the chair.
Votes 0£ thanks in connection with the Eynsford meeting were
voted to Mr. R Cooke and Mr. H. Monckton for assistance in
arranging the programme and for hospitality at the evening
meeting at Maidstone, to the Mayor and Corporation of Maidstone
for granting the use of rooms at the Museum, to Sir W. and Lady
Hart Dyke and to Sir Martin Conway £or hospitality and to Mr.
and Mrs. H. Fountain of hynsford; also to the Vicars of the various
Churches visited and to Messrs. Allchin, Bennett, Till, Druce,
Cowper, the Rev. G.. M. Livett, and the Rev. W. GardnerWaterman.
It was agreed that the next Annual Meeting should be held at
Sandwich, and the President said that if the excursion should be
extended to Betteshanger he should be pleased to entertain the
members.
The Hon. Secretary read a letter from the Hon. R. Neville
giving the Council permission to clear the brushwood from the
stones at Coldrum, and a sum not exceeding £3 was voted for
the purpose.
The Rev. C. E. Woodruff supported an application for a grant
towards the repair and rebinding of the ancient monaatic registers
in the keeping of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and
mentioned that the Chapter had voted £10 and that he had
himself collected a further sum of £15 for the above purpose.
The Council unanimously voted a grant of £10.
Permission was granted to Mr. Bosanquet to l1ave a reprint at
his own cost of five hundred copies of the article on Pembu1·y
Churt'h which appears in A1·ch<1Jologia Oantiana, Vol. XXVIII.
A similar permission was gmnted to Sir Martin Conway in respect
of his paper on Allington Castle.
On the proposition of Mr. Chapma11, l:'econded by Dr. Cotton,
the Hon. Secretary w;ts instructe, give you
partioularl! as to how the InquiNitiones are abstracted, and at what cost for the
transcription.
If we could begin somewhat as above, I feel we should do something to
remove the reproach that at present lie. against us.
Yours sincerely,
LELAND L. DUNOAN.
Mr. Livett also pointed out that in addition to the records
mentioned by Mr. Leland Duncan there were the Subsidy Rolls,
lay and clerical, lying in the Record Office awaiting transcription.
He also hoped the Society would be able to turn its attention to
the Manor Rolls, which existed in large numbers in both public and
private hands, so that a sense of their value for historical purposes
might be awakened with a view to their better presenation.
The Rev. C. Eveleigh Woodruff agreed with the previous speaker
that a. Record Series for Kent should be started, and said that the
Cathedral Library at Canterbury contained a vast mass of important
MSS. which had never been published. He ventured to enter
a caveat against the inclusion of too many dry records in
A1·clueologia Oantiana, and thought that the Society would do well
to mix their wa1·es in order to cater for the varied tastes of the
members.
After some further discussion the following members of the
Council were appoint.ad as a Publication Committee to deal with
the matter: Messrs. Livett, Woodruff, Hussey, Frampton, and
Gimlner-Waterman. The Hon. Secretary was directed to put the
subject down for consideration at the evening meeting of the next
Annual Meeting of the Society.
The p1;ogramme of the Sandwich Meeting was discussed, and it
was agreed that it Rhould be left to the President to form a Local

Quex Park was considered, and it wiis feared that the length of the
journey would make such a visit impracticable.
Mi·. Livett suggested that a Special Meeting of the Society
should be convened for the discusi;ion 0£ the megalithic remaius
visited by the Society on the occasion of its last Annual Meeting,
and on the proposition 0£ Mr. Cooke it was agreed that a meeting
should be arranged £or the day 0£ the Quarterly Meeting of the
Council in l\fareh.

feelingly alluded to, the Hon. Secretary was requested to send
letters o'f condolence to the Hon. Mrs. J. G. Talbot and Mrs.
Pearman.
The Rev. C. E. Woodruff brought forward the question of
making further excavations at Richborough, and as it was believed
that the Society of Antiquaries would co-operate with this Society
in the systematic uncovering of the surface of the platform, it was
resolved that the sum of £50 be granted from the Research Fund
£or this object.
A sum 0£ £10 was voted towards the excavations in progress at
Lesnes Abbey on condition that a report, £01· publication in the
Transactions 0£ the Society, on the excavations should be furnished
to the Society.
Mr. George Payne, formerly Hon. Secretary 0£ the Society, was
elected an Honorary Member.
It was decided that the Annual Meeting should be· held at

A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Cooke for his gift to the
Library of the A:rcliitecture of Danish Ohurclies.
On the same dat-:! an evening Meeting of the Society was held
at the Brenchley Museum, Maidstone, by the courtesy of the
Mayor and Corpot·ation, at which Lord Northbourne presided.
The Meeting, which was to a certain extent experimental,
proved a great success.
The subject for discussion was the Megalithic remains around
Maidstone, which the Society proposed to visit at the tim& of their
Annual Meeting in July.
The subject having been opened by Mr. F. J. Bennett, F.G.S., the
Honorary Secretary read a Paper prepared by Mr. G. Clinch, F.G.S.,
and was followed by the Rev. G. M. Livett, F.S . .A.., after which, a
few questions having been put to the speakers and answered, photographic
views of the Kentish megaliths were shewn by the aid of
the lantern, Mr. ,J. H. Allchin kindly naming the various pictures.
June 21st, 1910.-The Council met at the Coburg H otel,
London, where they lunched at the invitation of the President.
Thirteen members present, Lord Northbourne in the chair.
The Rev. Hyla. Holden, Rector of Smarden, wrote asking if the
Council would be willing to restore to Smarden Church the sword
which is said to have belonged to Colonel Otway and the leaden
seal of Pope Innocent IV. now in the Society's collection at
Maidstone. The matter was deferred until the September meeting
of the Council.
A further grant of £2 was made fo connection with the expenses
incurred at Coldrum.
The d1·aft 0£ the Annual Report was laid before the Council

The Fifty.third Annual Meeting of the Society was held at
Sa11dwich 011 the 28th and 29th of July 1910.
The Mayor of Sandwich (C. Watson, Esq.) welcomed the
members, at the head of whom was Lord N orthbourne, President of
the Society, in the ancient Town Hall. His Worship then briefly
described some of the features of the hall and its contents, many
of which were reminiscent of the stin·ing times of Queen Elizabeth,
and Mr. E. C. Byrne, the Town Clerk, gave an account of the
pictures, which illustrate royal visits and naval battles.
The Secretary then read the Annual Report.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1910.
The Council, in presenting their fifty-third Annual Report in
the ancient town of Sandwich, which has been previously visited by
the Society in 1864 and 1885, cannot enter upon its details until
expression has been given to their sense 0£ the loss sustained by
the Society in the death of two members of the Council, the Right
Honourable J. G. Talbot, an original member of the Society, and
who for a short time acted as Honorary Secretary, and the Rev.
Canon Pearman, one of our oldest members, to whom the Society
has been indebted on several occasions £or contributions to our
'lansactions. The Secretary of the Society having resigned his
mem)>ership, the duties for the past few months have been carried
on by a menibe1· of the Council, the Rev. W. Gardner-Waterman,
but it will be necessa1·j to appoint a. successor to Mr. Evans as
soon as a gentleman suitable and willing to undertake the duties
can be found, as the present arrangement can only be regarded as
temporary.
Since the last Annual Meeting Volume XXVIII. has been
issued to the Members. The number of illustrations given in the
lv'i l>ltOtJEllli>INGS, 1910.
volume was considerably above the average, and it is £eared that
it will be impossible to continue to illustrate on tbis liberal scale
unless the membership should shew a considerable increase. At
the present time the number of members, exclusive of Lue
Members, is approximately 570, and our total income does not
exceed £340 per annum, of which sum about £100 is required for
the ordinary working of the Society, leaving only £240 a year
available for the Volume and extraordinary expenditure, excavations,
etc. The last Volume, as may be gathered from the Balance
Sheets of the past two years, cost £450. 1'he diminution of
members during the past twenty years is somewhat marked, and
gives rise to sorne anxiety, but your Council £eel that if not only
Honorary Local Secretaries but also the members generally would
place before archreologists of the county the advantages of joining
the Society, in a very short time our number of members would be
in excess of the number at any time of the Society's history. Our
annual iucome is naturally affected by the fact that the proportion
of Ordiuary Members to Life Members stood about tweuty years
since as five to one, whilst to-day it stands at about seven to two.
An Ordinary Member's contribution is lOs. a year, whilst the
interest of a Life Member's composition only produces 3s. Your
Council a1·e therefore of opinion that the sum hitherto paid is
insufficient, and to bring it into line with the rate adopted by
similar Societies they recommend that in future the sum 0£ £10
be paid for compounding. A careful review of the finances of the
Society leads your Council to recommend certain changes in the
Rules. These changes will be laid before you for your approval
to-day. During the past year the following grants have l>een made
for excavations: Richborough. Castle, £50, and Lesnes Abbey, £10.
Captain Hooper and Mr. H. Hordern were re-elected Honorary
Auditors.
The retiring members of the Council were Sir W. Martin
Conway, Messrs. T. Colyer Fergusson, H. Mapleton Chapman,
A. A. Hussey, H. Monckton, and Rev. W. Gardner-Waterman,
who were unanimously re-elected.
The following were elected Ordina1·y Members: Miss A.

PROCEEDINGS, 1910. lvii
The fa-Iterations in the Rules, of which due notice had been
given to the members, were proposed by Lord N orthbourne and
unanimously agreed to, with the following addition proposed by
the Rev. C. E. W oodru:f£: In lfole 2, between " The " and

On the p·oposition of the President Mr. Monckton was elected
a Trustee in the place of the late Right Hon. J. G. Talbot.
Lord Northbourne promised that the suggestion of Mr. Boulter
that the Annual Meeting should not be held on a Friday would be
considered by the Council.
With this terminated the business of the meeting, and the
President then gave his Inaugural Address.
Before luncheon the members inspected St. Clement's Church,
which was fully described by the Vicar, the Rev. A. M. Chichester.
The Rev. G. M. Livett called attention to 9mphides of a bird and a
man roughly incised upon the piers of the tower, and pointed out their
similarity to those in the crypts of Canterbury and Rochester
Cathedrals. Luncheon having been partaken of at the Bell Hotel
the members proceeded to St. Peter's Church, where they were met
by the Vicar, the Rev. B. Roscow, and the architectural features
were described by the Rev. G. M. Livett. From St. Peter's
Church the party passed on to St. Mary's, where the Vicar, the
Rev. A. M. Chichester, again acted as cicerone. "The Old
House" in Strand Street, by the courtesy of T. A. Macmeikan,
Esq. , was next visited, where the fine panelling and Tudor fireplaces
were much admired.
The members then drove to Richborough Castle, where they
inspected the Roman walls and the cruciform foundations within
their area, which had been excavated iu their entirety for the visit
0£ the Society, and Papers, prepared respectively by Mr. St. ,John
Hope and Mr. Livett, were read.
Mr. Hope's Paper, which, in the absence 0£ the writer, was
read by Lord Northbourne, ,vas as follows:-
So many theories have been put forth as to the meaning of the
cruciform block, with its concrete platform and substructure, which
occupies the middle of the Roman fort at Richborough, that it is
difficult to induce people even to think of it from the cold-blooded
vie,v of common sense. And it is quite safe to say that the more
fanciful and imaginative the theory the less likely is it to be one
deserving of consideration.
lviii i'ROOEE:blNGS, 1910.
In view of this present Meeting some excavations have lately
been made under the direction of Mr. Herbert Jones aud myself
from 5th to 13th July which enable you to see what are the
features under discussion.
In the first place there is the cruciform construction, consisting
of two longer and narrow sections 7 ½ feet wide, meeting on either
side of the 1p.iddle of a shorter and much broader cross piece, which
is 22 feet wide and 47 feet long ._ The length of the whole from
no1'th to south is 87 feet. What is left to us stands about 4½ feet
high, and is clearly a solid maRs 0£ concrete which was originally
higher. The once vertical sides have been much injured, partly
through people trying to tunnel into the mass, but partly from
exposure to the frost and other vicissitudes of our climate. It is
difficult now to realize Mr. Dowker's statement that the ends and
the inner angles had dressings o{ tufa blocks, but some fragments
are still embedded in the ends.
The cross, which can now be examined all round, stands
symmetrically upon an oblong platform 0£ concrete, 124 feet long
from north to south and 80 feet wide from east to west, and five
feet in thickness. Part of the north-east quarter has been completely
cleal'ed, from its vertical edge to the cross in the middle,
and at the outer angle the original surface of smoothed concrete
with fine gravel embedded. can plainly be seen and examined. On
the same cleared space may be seen part of the foundation of a
wall, which was traced throughout its course by Mr. Dowker and
found to extend parallel with the edge of the platform all along
it at some 15 or 16 feet withiu it. Just outside each of the angles
of the walled enclosure Mr. Dowker also found a small rectangular
hole, apparently £or a wooden post. I have had opened out the
north-east and the south- east openings for your inspection. 'rhey ar1:,
carried right through the concrete platform. By visiting the so-called
subterranean passage, which has only been formed during the last
70 years, and half of it only 40 years, a view can be obtained 0£
the great concrete substructure of the cruciform mass and platform.
This has been built into a.hole excavated £01· it in the sand of which
the Richborough hill consists, and has been followed downwards £or
quite 30 feet from the present level without reaching the bot-tom.
N otwithatanding opinions to the contrary I do 11ot think tbei·e can
be any question that this substructure is othe1· than a solid mass 0£
concrete, and several attempts to.,prove the c'ontrary by tunnelling
in.to it have all ended iu failure.
PROCEEDINGS, 1910,
After careful consideration of the question from all sides I do
not see how we can get away from an acceptance of the ingenious
and simple suggestion as to the purpose of this mysteriolls construction
which was put forth by the late Mr. Godfrey-Faussett in
an editorial footnote to the account 0£ Mr. Dowker's investigations
in Vol. VIII. of .A:rchROOEE:iJI:NGS, HHO.
core of a lighthouse or signalling tower, the heavy concrete substructure
which is united to it would serve to steady it in a gale,
much as the centreboard of a yacht stiffens it in a breeze.
My old friend and co-worker at Silchester and elsewhere, the
late Mr. George E. Fox, one of the souudest and most learned
Roman antiquaries we have ever had, was strongly in favour of
Mr. Faussett's lighthouse theory, and in an admirable Paper on
the Roman Coast Fortresses of Kent communicated by him to
the Royal Archreological Institute at its Canterbury Meeting in
1896 he adduced strong reasons for the erection of a pha-ros at
Rutu,pi<.e.
After pointing out the relative po:1itionsof RulbiU1n (Reculver)
at the northern and of Rutupi<.e (Rich borough) at the southern end
of the strait between Thanet and Kent, through which all the
shipping into and from the Thames passed in Roman times, he
says:-
" As the crow fties the two stations were something over eight
miles apart. UndeL· ordinary conditions so trifti.ng a distance would
have offered no difficulties 0£ communication between them ; but in
the Roman period there we1·e insuperable obstacles to direct intercourse,
for the marilhy estuaries of the greater and lesser Stour
falling into the strait intervened between the two stations. They
could therefore only communicate with each other by the circuitous
route vid Canterbury, or by water by means of the strait itself,
probably not practicable in all conditions 0£ the tide. It will thus
be seen bow important auy means of signalling would become, and
there is therefor some reason for supposing that a tower at
Richborough may have been erected for this purpose as well as to
serve a a lighthouse. By rneaus of signals news £ pi.rate 6.eets in
the estuary of the Thames could be conveyed from Reculver to
Richborough, from which station the co:\Sts further south could be
alarmed, and the headquarters of the British fleet at G-esso1·ia-eun
(Boulogne) could be communicated with, if need were, by way of
Dover."
I may add that Mr. l!ox: was, like myself, sfa·ongly opposed to
any such ridiculous ideii as that the concrete substructure of the
cruciform mass contained anything in the way of a chamber or
chambers, or was otherwise than solid throughout.
There is one further point in connection with the cross and its
platform and base which ought to be cleared up. From tim'e to
time1 and notably in the excavations carried out within the rort ten
PROCEEDINGS, 1910. lxi
years ago by Mr. ,John Garstang as well as in my own recent
diggings, there have been discovered in the earth overlying the
platform a good many pieces 0£ white marble fluted pilasters, and
of steps and wall linings of the same foreign material. This is
so rarely met with in Homan buildings in Britain that its discovery
in a mere coast fortress is particularly noteworthy. The pilasters
are worked out of very thin pieces 0£ marble, and have clearly been
built as casings to brick or con<.'rete circular or semicircular cores.
No traces of these, however, have come to light, and it is difficult to
imagine where or for what purpose the marble work was set up.
It is also curious to notice that the surface of the pilasters is in no
case smoothed off or polished, but merely dressed to an even face
with such a class tool as was used here in the thirteenth century
and later. Possibly a more extended search, such as would be
effected by clearing the rest of the concrete platform and trenching
closely the ground immediately surrounding it, might bring to light
more important and enlightening fragments than have so far been
discovered, and it rests with the Society after its visit to Rich borough
to decide whether anything further in this direction shall be done.
The following Paper was then read by the Rev. G. M. Livett,
F.S.A.:-
Assembled beneath the walls of the ancient Rutupire, whose
massive structure has defied the ravages of the barbarians and
withstood £or fifteen cent1uies the assaults of the elements, we
are reminded of the Roman rule in Britain, and of tl1e great
changes which have taken place since the marhes, now surrounding
this cast,-um, were filled with the waters of the Wantsum, on
which :floated the fleet of the Oomes Littoris Sarconici. Doubtless
these shallow waters of the Rutupian shore afforded safe and commodious
harbours; and RuLupire must have been a port of the first
importance from the beginning of the Roman o<.'cupation. I propose
to consider five points in connection with this ancient Roman
settlement :-
1. Was Rutupite more than a port ? Was it also a
town?
2. At what period were the present walls constructed?
3, Were there any defensive walls before the present
ones ? or did the subterranean structure eJist
bfore t}le13e wl}s were bμilt ?
.lxii ·'PROCEEDINGS, 1910.
4. What is the date and what was the purpose 0£ the
Cross erected on the platform ?
5. What were the walls, of which fragments are found
resting on the platform and surrounding the
Cross?
For answer to our first question Rutupi(l) is mentioned by
Ptolemy the geographer, who lived in the first half of the second
century, M one of the three towns of the Cantii.. In the Itinerary
.of .A.ntonimus Rutupit:B is called a port or haven. In the Notitia,
written about A.D. 450, we find that the second Legion called
Augusta was located at R1itupi(l). Very few inscriptions have been
found at Rich borough, but a.'large number of c·oins, principally of
• late date -out of several hundred 011ly five are earlier than the
third century, and the series continues up to the time of Honorins
.A..D. 423. .A. few minimi of pre-Saxon times have also been found.
These go to prove a prolonged occupation of Richborough, and
there is little doubt that as a port it must have existed from an
early period.
2. The present walls of Rich borough seem especiaUy designed
to repel such sudden attack as might have been expected from the
Saxon pirates. The walls were probably 30 feet high and 12 feet
broad, thus not easily scaled. The Decuman or principal gate was
of massive· construction, the walls on· either side sloping in towards
the entrance, so that the defenders might obserYe the enemy on
either side. The corners of the castritm were flanked by round
towers, which doubtless commanded a view of the surrounding
· country; besides serving to defend the walls. There were also pairs
of rectangular towers on the outside of each wall. The postern
gate was especially designed to resist a sudden attack, and at the
same time give the garrison an easy sallying point towards the sea.
On the east side of the casfrurn Mr. Boys thought he could trace a
wall :flanking that side, which he· has rep1·esented in his plan as
below the clifi near the river, and during the construction of the
South-Eastern Railway near this spot portions of the wall were met
with, and another large mass 156 feet in-length lies in the bed of
the river. The walls therefore quite encircled the cast?-um, and on
the eastern side they may have been below the cliff. That the sea
did not cover this ground is evident from the £act that during the
construction of the railway the foundations of n house were met
• with at the a_ame level towards the S0J:J.th east, Tb§ ()qstrwm
PR:OCEEDiNGS, 1910. }xiii
appears to have been built at one time and uniformly of the same
materials throughout, viz. : flint stones and chalk blocks, Portland
stone with regular courses of Roman tiles laid iu a mortar of lime,
grit, and coarsely broken tiJes. Mr. Dowker has suggested that the
wall on the east side may also have enclosed a harbour to protect
the fleet.
3. It hM also been suggested that the present walls of the
casfrmn occupy the place of an entrenched camp, and that the
whole of Richbo!'ough island may have been previously occupied as
a town and po1·t, 11s the amphitheatre, the roads, streets, and coins,
as well a.a the historical notices testify.
The passage from Ganl to Britain must, from tl1e nature of the
tidal cur1·ents, have run diagonally across the Straits of Dover.
At the eastern extremity was Rittupim, nt the western Portus
Lema11is. "With regard to this latter we have the important fact
that its walls had been built of material derived from a more ancient
building, for inscribed tiles and an altar with an inscription shewing
that it was dedicated to Aufi.dius Pantera, Prefect of the British
Fleet, were built into the walls, and from the :fact that the altar
was covered with barnacles, it is evident that it had been moved
from some building overwhelmed by the sea. 1'he Portus Lemanis
therefore iu all probability dated anterior to the present castrum at
Lymne. In like manner the Portus Rittu,pvnus niay date earlier
than the fort o:f the Littus Sa:vonicum. Richborough, as the most
important station and more exposed to the attack 0£ a naval force
landing in Britain, may have been the first of these structures.
I will now discuss the extraordinary mass of masonry within
the walls, which has been usually described as the platform. It is
144 feet long, 104 feet wide, and 5 feet thick. It is not in the
centre of the castrwm but nearer the north-east. It is the position
in whic:h we should expect to iind the Pr{1Jf01•ium, for the Decuman
gate is more towards the north wall than the south, and the road
from it would cut through the platform; the road from the south
entrance intersecting that from the west would mark the place of
the Prmtorimn. The Rev. G. R. Gleig many years ago, in tracing
a cave that existed in the £ace 0£ the $and diff (also described by
Leland), came upon the foundations 0£ this platform at a depth of
30 feet, and from the excavations undertaken by the late Mr. Rolfe,
and our Society, the stupendous nature of the substructure has been
revealed. This platform, 14.4 feet long by 104 feet wide and 5 feet
thick, re,st,s 9n aJ.14 subte:n4s gther foundations 10 feet thick in one
lxiv PROCEEDINGS, 1910.
direction and 12 feet in the other, so that the deeper foundations
are 182 feet by 94 feet, and of unknown depth, and the whole
of this mass is built of flint stones, and mortar of wonderful
tenacity without the least admixture of other materials, differing in
this respect from the '9\"alls of the casfrmii, which have chalk and
other materials, and pounded tile in the mortar. At each corner
of the deeper structure are holes about 4 inches square, into which
wood had been introduced, und the whole platform is covered
entirely with a stratum 0£ mortar and fine gravel.
4. Mr. Boys, the historian of Sandwich, uncovered the platform
in 1792. He also dug round the cross and discovered its dimensions.
It is situated in the centre of the platform, above which it
rises 4 feet 6 inches at its south-east corner; it is 87 feet long from
north to south, with a width of 7 feet 6 inches; transversely, east
to west, 47 feet long and 22 feet wide. The longer arms run 35°
east of north. Its masonry is composed of Kentish rag, oolite,
tufa, and flint boulder, cemented with a concrete made of lime,
broken tile, coarse sand, and grit, very similar to that in the outer
wall of the castrum. Though resting on the platform the cross
does not form part of it, but is laid on a foundation consisting of
blocks of chalk and a layer of Kentish rag, broken very fioe without
mortar, this again resting on a layer of sand or gravel, which covers
the entire £ace 0£ the platform.
5. Starting from corners about 5 feet inwards from the northwest,
and north-east holes through the platform, and then running
parallel with its sides, have been found the remains 0£ a wall,
which may perhaps have been cal'l'ied round its entire circuit. It
is 3 feet 6 inches in height. It extends 26 feet southwards down
the west side, with two more detached portions nearer the south
end 0£ this side. Along the north side it extends 12 feet eaatwards
from the north-western corner, and 30 feet westwards from the
north-eastern, having apparently been demolished at tbe interval,
and again down the east side southwards 14 feet. It is built of
boulders (those on the outside squared) imbedded in mortar composed
of lime, grit, and broken tile, but containing more sand than
other mortar at Richborough, and easily crumbled in the fingers.
It stand1:1, like the cross, not immediately on the platform, but on a
layer 0£ intervening sand. On the outer side 0£ this wall, at all
distances up to 10 yards from it, have been found architectural
fragments of white marble, moulded shells for columns and pilasters,
sla,bs for pavements 11,nd facings, 11,nd :;itrail!.t moulqins for

base and cornice, even ornamental carvings and embellishments.
In one place on the eastern side a piece of marble -pavement,
between the low wall and the edge of the concrete, was found in
situ. All sorts of theories have been started in explanation of this
marvellous structure. Mr. Boys suggested that it is the foundation
of a lofty sea-mark to direct the mariner, or a cross to solicit his
devotion. Mr. T. Godfrey-Faussett was of opinion that the
Comes Littoris Saxonici designed to erect here within the camp
a pharos or a watch tower of usual height, and mistrusting the
sand of Richborough hill took the elaborate and thoroughly
Roman step of digging it out for the required area. The
Rev. Prebendary Scarth, in a Pa.per read before the Royal
Archreological Institute at Canterbury in 1875, stated that he was
inclined to think that the cross was intended to support a wooden
superstructure, aud quoted an instance of a similar cross within a
fortified parallelogram at Banwell in Somersetshire, outside the
Roman station. Mr. Roach Smith regarded the masonry of the
platform and substructU1·e as forming an underground building
designed for great strength and solidity, which may have been an
arsenal for arms or stores, and into which some entrance may be
found. I think a.rchreologists are agreed that the platform and
substructure have nothing to do wi1h the cruciform structure subsequently
erected on it, or with the walls, which are probably of a
later date. Mr. Dowker concluded that these walls we.re the
remains of a church or chapel noticed by Leland, and suggested
that the platform and masonry below were constructed £or the purposes
of the fleet and harbour, that they were intended to carry
and bold a strong fulcrnm of Roman machinery for drawing up
the ships within an extended camp, to protect them from the
enemy, or for repairs or building, and that a large square mass of
ma..
3. What is the reason £or the replacing of a round pillar by an
octagonal one on the south side of the nave?
4. Is the niche in the wall of the north ai1:1le near the organ
a Reliquary, as Archbishop Benson surmised (be visited this Church
six weeks before his death), or is it a very small Easter Sepulchre?
Leaving Eastry the party drove to Betteshanger Park, the seat .
of the President, where Lord Northbourne was waiting to give the
members a welcome and to entertain them to a hospitable luncheon.
In the afterlloon the beautiful little Church, with its many
memorials of the Boys family, was visited and described by the
Rector, Rev. Canon Bliss. Before leaving Betteshanger Mr. F. F.
Giraud voiced the cordial thanks of the members to their President
for his hospitality, and his Lordship acknowledged the compliment.
Northboume Church was next visited, where the Rector, Rev. W. C.
Thomas, gave an able description of this interesting late-Norman
structure.
The members then adjourned to Northbourne Court, where
the large party were hospitably entertained to tea in the beautiful
gardens by Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey W aterfi.eld. A visit to W oodnesborough
Church on the way back to Sandwich, which was upon the
programme, had to be omitted through lack of time, but the Paper
prepared by the Vicar, the Rev. F. Savage, is printed below:-
This Church, dedicated to St. Mary the Blessed Virgin, was built
in 1180 by a pious Indy, Ascellina de Wodenberghe, and attached
to the Priory of Ledes. I believe that that date is borne out by
the bases of the columns on the north side of the nave. The
columns themselves have been restored at some previous time, and
one old section (I presume of Kentish rag) can be seen outside
the west door, one or two others being built into the wall of the
south aisle, and are visible outside. Evident also are fragments 0£
two small lancet windows which lighted this south aisle, being quite
low down, no doubt on account 0£ the roof of the I;1ave being carried
down to form the roof of the aisle. The east end of the south.
aisle was used probably as the Lady Chapel; at all events there was
an altar, and the piscina and a small aumbrey opposite are in sitii.
In this south aisle, on the south side of the westernmost pier, there
is a small piece 0£ Norman string-cout·se. Mr. Caroe conjectui·ed
that there might have been a small and earlier church thel'e. On
tese square J?iers may be seen many ":lteresting pilgrims' marks.
PROCEEDINGS, 1'9i.O. lxxiii
Going towards the chancel and close to the present reading desk
there is an indication of steps, perhaps to a rood-loft.
In the chancel one is struck by the beauty of the sedilia, date
about 1350, with its delightful columns and delicately-carved caps
and groined canopy. 'l'he structure, very beautiful in detail and
wonde1·fully well preserved, is well worth a close inspection. On
the inside wall is a small brass t-0 the memory of John Parcar,
vicar, 1513, and also one to a member of the Spencer family.
The line "Vir pietate gravis, vir gravitate pius" always strikes me
as being particularly pleasing and euphonious,
In the wall opposite and close by the priest's door can be seen
the end of a moulded beam, probably a candle beam.
There may have been originally a triple light in the east wall,
£or there appear to be indications of the apex of a central light
above the centre of the present window. The shafts which form
the corner of the opening with the east wall seem to be of an
earlier date than tbe tracery of the window. The aumb1·ey in the
east wall, which is divided into four compartments, is somewhat
unusual. It was disc0vered underneath tbe plaster on the restoration
of the nave some years back. The roof of the Church was
ceiJed inside before that restoration. A good idea of the interior
may be gained from the water-colour drawing taken about 1882.
The picturesque tower and superstructure deserve attention.
The west door and also the noble arch leading into the uave are
quite early-English. 'l'he capitals of t-he shafts have been carved
in accordance with a fragment that was fortunately io existence,
though much time-worn. The windows above are of course a later
insertion. The small pointed windows in the second story on the
north and south sides had square heads before 1884, which heads
were formed by the cut-away sides of the two round-headed stones
now close to the sundial in the churchyard. I should be glad to
know what these stones were. It has been suggested that they
are gable crosses, but others have held a differeut idea.
We come then to several courses of bricks on the top of flint
and rubble work. Originally the steeple carried a tall shingle
spire, and this getting into bad repair· was pulled down. Such
a prominent object was made use of as a landmark for vessels
entering Ramsgate Harboru· or Pegwell Bay, I believe, and when
the spire was pulled down the tower was heightened by the
addition of the building material of that day, and surmounted by
the picturesque cupola and balusti·ade1 and used as a landmark,
lxxiv :PROCEEDINGS, 1910.
though now that has ceased to be. Mr. John Scott, when he saw
the tower, said: "This is most charming and almost unique," so
that in the restoration which has just been completed the lines of
the old work were faithfully reproduced, and all old material used
again if it were possible. The1·e ;,as in 1883 a ve1·y ugly brick
porch on the north side of the Church, with the date 1720 on the
keystone of the arch. On the brick buttress built against the
south wall of the Church the date 1745 is inscribed, so probably it
was about this period that the spi.re was taken down. I have never
been able to come across any print or pictu1·e of the tower with
the spire, and should be grateful for any information on that
poiot.
I do not profess any archroological knowledge, so am quite open
to correction in any of the points that I have mentioned.
I trust that the members of the Society may be pleased with
their short visit to this ancient village of Woden worship.
September 8th, 1910.-The Council met at the Bridge Wardens'
Chamber, Rochester, the members being entertainerl to luncheon
previously by Mr. A. A. Arnold. Seven members present, Mr. A. A.
Arnold in the chair.
The question of the Otway sword and the leaden seal, postponed
from the last Council meeting, \Yas considered, and it was
decided to return the sword on the Rev. Hyla Holden undertaking
to repla<'e it in the Church of Sma.rden under a faculty.
l'he Council thought tliat the seal was suitably placed in the
Society's Museum, but would be pleased to permit Mi·. Holden to
ta.ke a cast 0£ the same.
The Society of Antiquaries not having made a grant towards
the excavations a.t Richborough the Society bore the entire cost,
amounting to £30 13s. 3d., of the work done previous to the
Sandwich meeting.

December 8th, 1910.-'fhe Council met in the Library 0£
Canterbury Cathedral. Eleven members were present, Lord
N orthbourne in the chair.
Mr. St. John Hope wrote asking what was proposed to be
done at Richborough in the future, in reply to which the Secretary
was directed to state that while the Council were fully prepared to
expend the balance 0£ the £50 originally voted towards excavations
at Richborough, they felt that in this case at least an equal snm,
£50, should be contributed by the Society 0£ Antiquaries.
The Rev. Hyla Holden wrote expressing the thanks 0£ himself
and the Churchwardens of Smardeu to the Council for " their
gracious act" in returning the Otway sword to be replaced in the
Church, and at the same time assuring them that every care would
be taken in future to retain it iu its original place.
It was decided that the next Annual Meeting should be held at
Greenwich.
The members of the Publication Committee, having met previous
to this meeting, reported that at present there were no records
ready for publication.
It was decided, as last year, to have an Evening Meeting at
Maidstone on the day of the meeting of the Council in March.
'11he following were elected Ordinary Members: E. T. Clark,
G. Hewitt, Rev. C. D. Lampen, J. Ward, Miss Hart Dyke, C. W.

On March 9th, 1911, a Meeting 0£ the members was held at
the Museum, Maidstone, when a large number assembled in the
Bentlif Gallei·y to hear 8ir Martin Conway's historical sketch 0£
Allington Castle, a description 0£ the excavations recently conducted

COMMUNICATED :BY GEORGE PAYNE, F.S.A,
CLIFFE MARSHEs.-During excavations £or mud £or cementma.king
purposes, in the ma'Nlh adjacent to the Nine Elms Cement
Works, which are situate on the banks of the Thames about three
miles from Cliffe-at- Hoo, and nearly opposite East Tilbury Church
on the other side of the river, the workmen cut into several Roman
graves, which yielded many interesting objects, all of which came
into the hands of the writer, who handed them over to the Rochester
Museum. 'fhe various articles were put aside when found, but
unfortunately few details were to be obtained of the number of the
graves, or the disposition of the remains discovered in each grave.

sacrificial emblems. Commencing from the rim of the vessel
appears an ox, with an axe by its fore-feet, above an ox-yoke,
then a bird (ibis [?]) with head uplifted as if drinking, in
front 0£ it apparently a fount upon a pedestal. From this
the handle expands, and terminates with a ram's head on
each side and a lmop between as a .finish. This handle
should be compared with that of a ewer (p1·CBfe1·ic1iluni)
found by the writer in a remarkable Roman grave at Bayford,
Sittingbow·ne, over thirty years · ago, and figured in
A1·clice0lo_qia Ga11tiana, Vol. XVI., p. 3. The Cli:£1:e specimen,
compared ·with that, is an example 0£ debased ancient art,
and in much lower relief. In both vessels the rims are
grasped by the heads, necks, aud long bills of birds, the only
difference being that in the Rayford example the eyes of the
birds are inlaid in silver.
All the information that could be gleaned with reference to
these discoveries was that several human skeletons were met with,
and that vessels accompanied each skeleton, but it is reasonable to
conjecture that some of the burials were by cremation, which
would account for the large number of vases, as with whole burial
it is very unusua.I to find more tban one or two vessels deposited
,vith the remains.
The most important thing connected with these sepulchral
deposits is tbeir occurrence in the marshes, which tends to prove
that the Thames wns embanked down to the Cliffe Marshes in
Roman times. When the interments took place the marsh in which
they were deposited was certainly dry land, for it is impossible to
suppose that any people would bury their dead in gi·ound that was
submerged at every tide. The marsh in question is close up to the
river wall, and the burials were met with about four feet from the
surface in alluviwm, while there was beneath them a further depth
of alluvial deposit from fifteen to twenty feet. The only other
Roman interments which the ,vriter is acquainted with in the
Kentish Marshes were at Nor Marsh, opposite Gillingham,* and
those discovered by the Rev. C. E. Woodrufft in 1898-4 near Ham
Green, opposite Shaffieet Creek by Upchurch.
