The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Lewisham
The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Lewisham, noted by Leland L. Duncan Typed up by Dawn Weeks.
What follows is as far as possible an accurate transcription of three of L. L. Duncan's field notebooks for West Kent memorial inscriptions. They are written up in his shorthand, in pencil, on the site, on rather yellowing, aged paper. The individual M.I.'s of all three notebooks have been numbered sequencely, giving a total of 333.
There is no date for when Duncan recorded his notes, but in 1889 the Lewisham Antiquarian Society published a limited edition, 200 copies, of a book entitled "The Monumental Inscriptions in the Church and Churchyard of St Mary, Lewisham." Edited by Herbert Charles Kirby and Leland Lewis Duncan. The publication, of 86 pages, contained listings of M.I.s from the Churchyard, the Old Church (pulled down in 1774), the Present Church, the Vaults and Coats of Arms totalling some 674 entries. The number of M.I.s from the Churchyard, listed in alphabetical order numbers some 579. A copy of the book is held by the Lewisham Local History Library.
What follows is therefore the 333 M.I.'s recorded in Duncan's three notebooks, together with a number of small sketches of the location of graves.
The remaining M.I.s listed in Duncan's publication have now been added 21st May 2010, having been typed up by Pat Tritton. The numbers in square brackets [ ] are the numbers of the M.I.s listed in Duncan's Publication.
We am sure that you will appreciate the amount of time and effort that has been put into typing up, indexing and preparing Leland L. Duncan's manuscript for the Internet.
