Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Horsmonden Church
The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Horsmonden Church. Noted by Leland L. Duncan18th August 1922.
The following is as far as possible an exact transcription of Mr L.L. Duncan's field notebook for the M.I.s at Horsmonden. His notebook written up in his shorthand, in pencil, on the site leaves something to be desired. The paper of the notebook has over time become somewhat dirty and aged but is an immensely valuable record of that date.
