Monumental Inscriptions of St Mildred's Church, Tenterden
This M.I. listing of Leland Duncan's work is different, in that it is not taken from his notebooks, but from a book printed at his own expense in 1919, and that he handsomely presented a copy to every member of the K.A.S. Records Branch. A copy of the book, being of only a limited print run in 1919, is very difficult to obtain. The text from this volume was typed up by Margaret Broomfield.
Leland L. Duncan must have spent a considerable amount of time in St Mildred's churchyard writing down the information from each gravestone, no doubt many of which were very difficult to read due to erosion and plant growth. He says in his introduction that he checked as many as he could against the parish burial registers, however in typing up his manuscript for the publishers from his little notebooks, to the re-typing for our website by volunteers small errors are bound to have crept in. Now Robert and Patricia Chown of the Woodchurch Ancestry Group having just completed the the transcribing of the Tenterden Burial Register for 1544-1911 have very kindly checked through our website, and have supplied corrections to seventy-four of the individual grave listing. The vast majority were usually of one digit of a date etc. that have now all been corrected, with (Amended 2017-01) at the end of the entry. We extend our thanks to Robert and Patricia for sharing with us the results of all their hard work. Ted Connell 2017-02-02.
Preface
The history of Tenterden as a volume for our library shelves has yet to be written, but meanwhile a fair foundation is being laid. A general outline will be found in Vol. III of Hasted’s History of Kent and contributions to the volumes of Archaeologia Cantiana deal with various phases, amongst them "Early History of Tenterden", by Robert Furley, F.S.A. (Vol. XIV pp. 37-60). "Notes on the Hales Family", by Rev. R. Cox Hales, M.A. (Vol. XIV pp. 61-84). "The Rectors and Vicars", by A.H. Taylor. (Vol. XXXI pp. 207-270). This has an appendix of early bequests to the Church in wills. Mr. Taylor has also printed in Vols. XXXII and XXXIII valuable extracts from the Municipal Records and in Vol. XXX he dealt at length with the story of the chapel of St. John Baptist, Smallhythe.
The yearly editions of Thomson’s "Tenterden Almanac" also contain many extracts by the same author from the Churchwardens Accounts whilst Mr. J. Ellis Mace in an interesting little book entitled "Old Tenterden", has put on record much information about the Town and the older houses and their inhabitants.
All these will be of great value to the future historian of the Town, but they touch but a tithe of the information yet to be sought out and put into print.
The present contribution to the material for such a History contains all the Inscriptions on the monuments now existing in the Parish Church of St. Mildred, an epitome of all those in the Churchyard and in the extension in the Station Road, and, in the appendix, those in the yard of The Old Meeting House, which will be found to supplement the record of the churchyard. The inscriptions in the churchyard of St. Michael’s, of the Jireh Chapel and in the Cemetery have not been included, being all of recent date.
It is a matter for regret that the memorials in the Church are so few. No a single monument of mediaeval date has survived, save the matrix of a brass to a former Vicar c 1450, now under the Tower. Of the Tudor period there is only a ledger stone to William Austen 1595, with two brass shields of arms the only brasses remaining. Of the Stuart times the fine monument to the Whitfeld family [No. 501] with its wealth of heraldry helps to fill up what would otherwise be a long blank. A few 18th century ledger stones to Austens, Blackmores and Finches etc., were moved to the west end of the nave at the restoration, but they can hardly represent all the families of this ancient Kentish Town once commemorated in their parish church.
The history of any parish or township is inextricably bound up with the lives of those who have passed their days within its boundaries. Of the majority of these it must be said "their memorial is perished with them", but a proportion of all classes have their names handed down to us in some form of monument within the church or churchyard. The information contained in these inscriptions is of much interest both to the topographer and genealogist and the particulars as to age in the case of the earlier stones are unique, as they are not recorded in the Registers.
Owing to the increased cost of printing it has been found necessary to epitomize the inscriptions but all essential details are here given. For the same reason the insertion of a plan of the churchyard has had to be abandoned but the following general directions will be useful to those who desire to find any particular stone:-
Numbers 1 to 86 are in the S.W. part of the yard, beginning at the S.W corner, going northwards and taking the stones as nearly as possible row by row. Nos. 87-97 are in the little plot on the southern side of the Churchyard. page iii Nos. 98-133 are in the plot against the South Aisle and under the east end of the Church, beginning at the Porch and going eastwards. Nos. 134-396 are in the Northern part of the yard, beginning at the east and going westward row by row. The tomb No. 224 is in the centre of this plot under a yew tree. No. 396 is at the west gate of the yard.
To economize still further the following abbreviations have been used:- ‘P’ or ‘late P’ = ‘of this Parish’, or ‘late of this Parish’. "died" for "died" or "departed this life".
Amongst the church muniments is a carefully made plan of the churchyard which indicates the position of very many internments not marked now by any stones.
There is a tradition in the Town that the churchyard in ancient times extended southwards as far as the High Street, and bones have been found in excavations on the site of the present houses which tend to support this, but as some of the houses at least are of the early 17th century, if not earlier, the encroachment must have taken place many years ago.
I am indebted to my friend Ralph Griffin Esq., F.S.A. for the identification of the various shields of arms on the Whitfeld tomb. My special thanks are due to the Rev. J.A. Babington, M.A., Vicar of Tenterden, for his sympathetic interest in the work and for such personal kindness and goodwill which has enabled me to clear up many doubtful dates from the Registers. These notes add considerably to the value of this record of former generations of men and women of Tenterden.
