ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS, 1915-16.
HON. SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1915 (JUNE 9).
DURING the past year considerable resignations, many due to the
war, have occuned, and, since August last, proposals £or election
have been few in number.
Our meeting at Maidstone in March last, at which Mr. Potts
reported in a letter from Sir W. St. John Hope the very interesting
discovel'ies at St. Augustine's, Canterbury, and Mr. Aymer Vallance
again discoursed to us (this time on the development of architecture
as illustrated by some French churches), was, considering the
circumstances of the times, well attended, 120 being present at tea.
I should like the Couucil to bear in mind the advisability of so
altering the Rules of tl1e Society that the Annual Business Meeting
might be held at Maidstone, when matters of business and interest
might be discm:ised with more time and greater consideration than
when sandwiched in on the da.y of our Annual Excursion. The two
or three members of the Council with whom I have discussed this
project have certainly not received the suggestion unfavourably.
A more distinctly local meeting was held at Tonbridge in May
after the Local Secretaries' Lunch. Sixty were present at the tea.,
but this was not; the full number. Mr. Powell said the Sussex
Society derived much benefit from similar half-day meetings, and
was in favour of them himself. Sir William St. John Hope's letter
on St . .A.ugustine's excavations was again read, wjtb the assistance
of a plan. The situation of the town gates of Tonbridge and the
lvi PROCEEDINGS, i.9lo-18.
ditch surrounding the town was pointed out on the Ordnance
Map. Mr. Handcock deRcribed the attempt to discover the foundation
of the Chapel Tower in the Castle, took members round the
circuit of the Ci:l,stle walls and shewed the stones brought to light
in clearing out the well on the Castle mound. These stones
Mr. Youens afterwards photographed, as well as taking some
seventeen other photographs of the Castle, the old inns, the
Portreeve's house near the site of the Postern Gate, and the old
• ditch at the rear 0£ the dwelling, and one shewing the moulding
and stones 0£ the Norman window in the south wall 0£ the chancel
from the south chancel aisle in the parish church 0£ Tonbridge.
Your Society did all it could to welcome the British Archreological
Association to Canterbury last July, and on the Friday evening 0£
the week a Paper on "The Old Roads 0£ East Kent" was read by
Sil' Charles Warren, K.C.M.G.
Vol. XXXI. is_ now in the printer's hands owing to the kindness
0£ the Rev. Charles E. Woodru:ff, who offered his ·services to the
Society owing to the £act that one editor is at the front and the
other overworked at the War Office. This kindness is ve1·y much
• appreciated by all.
I need hardly remind members how necessary it is £or each one
during the difficult times we are now passing through to endeavoul'
to secure as many new members as possible £or the Society.
I should like to express my thanks to Mr. Allchin £or the kind
way in which he always tries to help us by every means in bis
power, and of Mr. Elgar I need only say that he is as interested in
his work as ever, and his assistance is often sought, even from afar,
by persons to whom his qualifications have become known.
,
HON. SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1916 (J-uLY 20).
BEFORE entering upon the work 0£ the year I should like to state
plainly that the two Annual gathe1-ings at Maidstone and the place
selected for our summer excursion have not cost the Society
anything, at any rate during recent years, except the postage stamps
and the printing 0£ the noticeti sent to members. I wish to
emphasir.e this, as several members have asked whether we could
not reduce the Annual Subscription during the war as we no
longer hold our two-days' excursion in the summer.
l.>ROC_.EEDINGS, •. 1915-16. lvii
Coming to the work of the Society, the war has injuriously
affected our work, partly owing to the disorganization caused by
it, and partly to resignations caused chiefly by the war and in
several cases tendered with the very greatest regret.
Among losses by· death two stand out very prominently, viz.,
the Rev. J. A. Boodle and Mr. Giraud, both of whom, after
lifelong connection with our Soe.iety, worked for it up to the very
last, both dying as elected members of our Council and both being
at tbeir deaths Honorary Local Secretaries of their respective
districts. To both your Society owes much, and has already
expressed to their relatives its very keenest feeling of loss at their
recent deaths.
The war has ·also stopped for the time the· exceedingly interesting
work-interesting not only to the county of Kent, but to the
nation and empire at large (a Canadian officer is taking the greatest
interest in the excavations )-carried on so heartily by the Authorities
at St. Augustine's. Perhaps I may particularly mention the name
of the Rev. R. U. Potts, Sub-Warden, who is entitled to our
profound gratitude £or what has been accomplished. The serious
question presenting itselr to· us, about which the less said the
better at present, ill caused by the site belonging to different
owners, which prevents the excavation of the whole of the aite of
the original church. We have reason to believe that our next
volume 0£ .A.ralueologia Oa,ntiana will contain au account 0£
St. Augustine's by Sir W. St. John Hope.
Mr. Elliston Erwood, when lecturing at Maidstone last March,
strongly urged the formation by the Society after the war of au
Excavation Branch, to be limited to some thirty or forty members,
all to be workers, and to agree to work under proper supervision.
A similar Society bas, he infol'med us, done good work in Essex.
The matter is under consideration by the Council.
It is hardly necessary for me again to urge upon all to do their
utmost to help the Society through the very difficult times it and
• kindred societies are now passing through. Every endeavour
should be made to 1•el;a,in p1·esent members and as far as possible
obtain new ones. It is no longer so much a question of increasing
our number as 0£ endeavouring to prevent a fall.

OBITUARY NOTICES.
Fn.A.Ncrs FnEDERIC GrnA.un.
By the death of Mr. Giraud at the ripe age of eighty-four our
Society loses a member who did yeoman service for Archreology in
East Kent for more than half a century. He was, we believe, the
sole survivor of that original band of .A.rcbreologists which rallied to
the call of J. Lambert Larking when that gentleman founded the
Kent Archreological Society in 1858. In the following year lie
became Hou. Local Secretary for the Fave1·sham district, an office
which he retained to the time of his death, discharging its duties
with exemplary punctuality for a period of fifty-six years. He was
alao for forty-two years a, Member of the Council and a regular
attendant at its Quarterly Meetings, as well as at the Annual
Excursions held .in the summer.
Descended from a Huguenot stock which took root in Faversham
soon after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) and
remained there ever since, the subject of the present memoir became
Town Clerk of Faversham in 1870, and £qr thirty-two years continued
to serve in that capacity. On his retirement in 1902 the
Municipal Authorities marked their appreciation of his services to
the town by presenting him with Freedom of the Borough, an
honour, we believe, unique in the history of Faversham.
During his long tenure of office as custodian of the municipal
archives, Mr. Giraud, who ,vas a competent Latin and French
scholar, made himself thoroughly conversant with the ancient
records committed to his care, and of the more interesting documents
he made transcripts or abstracts, many of which have been published
in Arclueol<>,1.Jia Cantiana. In aU there are, we believe, thirteen
articles from the pen of Mr. Giraud in the pages of our Journal.
In addition to these articles he compiled a Catalogue of the Books
in the Library of the Free Grammar School in Faversham-many
date from the sixteenth century-which was printed by order of the
Tl'uatees in 1865, and is a model of what a catalogue of such books
should be. In 1876, with C. E. Donne, a former vicar of the
parish, he brought out an excellent guide to the town and environs
of Faversham, a work which unfortunately is now somewhat scarce.
He also wrote a HiBto1·y of Freemason1>y in ll'averslu41n J1·om 1768
to 1899, compiled from the Minutes of the Lodge, of which he had
been a member £or fifty yeat·s.
OlHTUARY NOTIOES. lix
Mr. Giraud was of a modest and retiring disposition : he sought
no notoriety outside his native town, hence, perhaps, he was little
known to the majority of our more recent members. But those
who had the privilege of his acquaintance know that he was a man
of sterling worth, and the Council of the Society will greatly miss
the sound judgment, good taste and unfailing courtesy £or which
the late F. F. Giraud was conspicuous.

TEE REV. J. A. BOODLE,
ON December 2nd, 1915, the Rev. John Adolphus Boodle passed
away at his residence, Tudor Honse, West Malling, at the age of
78 years. Educated at Marlborough and St. John's College,
Cambridge, where be took the following honours, 1st Class in
the Theological Tripos, 2nd Class in tl1e Classical Tripos and
3rd Class in the Mathematical Tripos, he was ordained Deacon in
1859 and Priest in 1861 by the Bishop of Oxford. • After being
cumte at Buckingham :for two yeal's and a tutor at St. Columba's
College, Ireland, for five years, he became Curate of West Malling
in 1867. Very shortly afterwards he joined the Kent Archreological
Society, in the welfare of which he never ceased to take the greatest
interest. In 1879 he was elected a member of· the Council, and
remained a member until his death. Whilst an undergraduate at
Cambridge he began to study brasses, and it was only after his
death that one folly realized by the numerous notes in his books on
this subject how thorough his work had been, not only in Kent but
in other counties also. His fine collection of rubbings he presented
a few years since to the Bea.nay Institute at Canterbury. In 1874
the Archbishop appointed him Diocesu.11 Inspector of Schools £or
the Diocese of Canterbury, in connection with which his visits to
the different parishes enabled him to record several brasses that
ha.d not previously been noted, and he was also able to render very
valuable assistance in many cases where no retul'lls were made 1o
the Society's appeal for an inventory of the church plate throughout
the county. He trauscribed the Re.riste1·s of Bought-011-11,nder-Blean
fi·om 1558 to 1626, which were published by the Parish Registers
Society, 1903, and to Vol. XXI. of ..tl..rclter on "Boughton-under-the-Bleau." Shortly
aer the death of his wife (the eldest daughte1· of the late
lx
Rev. J. H. Timin, Vicar of West Malling, an original mmber of
this Society) in 1908 he resigned the living of Boughton-underBlean,
to which he had been appointed in 1887 by the Archbishop,
and retired to West Malling. He was Rural Dean of Ospringe
frQm 1897 to 1906.

BARHAM.
AN interesting discovery has been made in the north transept of
this church, said by Hasted to be St. Giles' Chapel. It belongs to
Barham Court, and when the rest of the church was drastically
restored some years ago the then owner of.the Court refused to
allow any alteration to be made in the mean deal seating with which
it was filled, underneath which was the Dering vault. The Court
has now paased by purchase to Mr. Stainton. He has allowed the
organ to be moved into it. It was known from Hasted that there
were in his time brasses in this transept, and amongst Fisher's
drawings in the British Museum is a clrawing of one. It was
uncertain whether they were un
