Monumental Inscriptions in St Mary's Church Hoo

Some Monumental Inscriptions in St  Mary's Church Hoo, recorded by D.E. Williams 30th September 2011.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH FROM THE NORTH EAST

St. Mary's church, with it's tall tower, forms a conspicuous feature, on a ridge overlooking the River Thames, on the north, and the River Medway on the south. It lies slightly off the "beaten track", north of the road from High Halstow to Allhallows. Unlike most other parishes on the Hoo Peninsular, it did not expand, and the church keeps company with a small number of charming period buildings in a quiet spot.
   However this quiet, somewhat obscure corner of Kent, did play a role in an episode of controversial national history. It was the Rector of St. Mary's, the Rev. Robert Burt, who performed the (illegal) marriage ceremony, between George, Prince of Wales and the Roman Catholic widow, Mrs Fitzherbert in December 1785. Hence the preferment given to the Rev. Burt, as recorded on the cenotaphic monument to him in the chancel.
   The church was declared redundant 30 years ago, when it was purchased by the present owners, who have converted into their family home. Their conversion has been carried out with the greatest regard for the fabric of the building, and the monuments in the churchyard, which is very well maintained, are all in situ.
   I am very grateful to the family for their hospitality, and for their co-operation and interest.

   The inscriptions are all laid out, line for line, as in the original. Where the inscription is eroded, or where it can be reconstructed from the Registers and other sources, it is enclosed in brackets, thus [    ]

SACRED
TO THE MEMORY OF
ROBERT GUNNING ESQ.
OF ST. MARY'S HALL
IN THIS PARISH
WHO DIED 6th AUGUST 1828
AGED 36 YEARS

Said to have shot himself in the grounds of St. Mary's Hall? If a straight forward suicide, I don't think he would have been buried in consecrated ground, yet alone inside the church? The Times death notice records his "sudden death", the Gentleman's Magazine and Maidstone Journal simply have the standard death notice. The Burial Register entry is also a quite ordinary entry, e.g. there is no mention of a Coroner's Warrant

[    ]
ALSO YE BODY OF[HER SISTER JANE?]
HILLS [ WHO DEPARTED YS LIFE]
[[    ] NOV.1699] AGED
17 YEARS

One can not be certain as to the attribution, but if the age of 17 on the lower inscription has been correctly read, this could be an accurate guess. The lack of Registers at St. Mary's prior to 1695 makes it difficult to confirm the age fitting one of the daughters of John and Sarah Hills. The will of John Hills, dated October 1728, mentions Sarah Hills, widow of John, (his daughter in law?). There is also a will of John Hills, Senior, a Farmer, who died 1700, but neither helps in this case. It is possible that this is the stone of one of the trio of John Hills, and that the age is much higher than 17 ?

Introduction

This large 13th to 15th century church has a tall shingled spire, which is a conspicuous landmark, now over shadowed by the over scale chimney of Kingsnorth Power Station. The church contains a good selection of brasses from the 15th to the 17th centuries, that of Richard Bayley, one of the finest in England.
   The churchyard contains a good variety of headstones and one very large pedestal tomb, designed to demand attention! ( Everist Family).
   There is a modern extension to the north, which I have included but have only transcribed pre-1930 graves. There are also some very modern burials at the east end of the churchyard, and some cremation interments on the south side of the church; I have excluded these.

Section A   is a small area north of the church between the porch and the east end of the chancel.
Section B   is all that area east of the church and south of the east – west footpath.
Section C   is the area south of the church.
Section D  is the area west of the church, bounded on the west by the footpath which leads to the
                            south west corner.Section E  is west of the above footpath, bounded by the north and west boundaries of the churchyard.
Section F  is a modern extension, (1920's), north of the east – west footpath, and east of the library building.
Section G  interior of Church

Much has been written on the murder of William White, it being widely believed that White's son George was the culprit. There was no real evidence at the time to bring charges, and George remains innocent, unless proved otherwise, which, of course, will never be! There is certainly nothing in his will, which is dated 22nd January 1808, which indicates any ill feeling at all.
   To Thomas Denton of Frindsbury, Farmer, (his brother in law), upon trust, Properties and land in Hoo and Gillingham, all stock, crops, personal estate, etc. To allow wife, Jane to carry on business and take rents, profits for her and children's support.

[Eroded Verses]

The deaths of David Webb and Alfred Groves was reported in the Kent Messenger on February 27th 1904 "DROWNED IN THEIR SLEEP - THE TRAGEDY OF A WRECKED BARGE
   After lying for eight days a wreck in Hole Haven, on the Lower Thames, near Gravesend, the barge G.E. Newnham, of Strood, was towed to Greenhithe last Saturday by a Conservancy boat. In the cabin of the wreck were found the dead bodies of David James Webb, aged 28 years, captain; and Alfred Joseph Groves, aged 24, mate. The men belonged to Hoo, near Rochester, and were employed by James Little, of Strood Hill.
   Mr H.B. Sewell, corner for West Kent, held the inquest at Greenhithe on Monday afternoon, when James Webb, of Bell's lane, Rochester, bargeman, stated that he was the father of the deceased man Webb, and last saw him alive about three weeks ago. On Feb. 16th witness passed the sunken barge, which was lying in Sea Reach, and on making inquiries found that it went down on the previous Friday, when the night was very boisterous. There were two other barges sunk that night on the Thames. He was of the opinion that the men were sleeping in the cabin when the barge foundered. It was a dangerous proceeding for both to have "turned in" on such a night.
   Joseph Robert Groves, of Pottery Cottages, Hoo, said Grove was his son. The Newnham was the first barge he had ever been on.
   John Spicer, 68, James street, Maidstone, bargeman, employed on the Alice, of Maidstone, stated that the barge Newnham was brought up at anchor a little ahead of him on Friday afternoon, February 12th. The vessel was anchored on account of the rough weather. He saw that it was all right at 11 o'clock the same night. When he looked out an hour later, the barge was gone. At daybreak on Saturday, he noticed that the barge was under water, only one end being visible. He afterwards saw the barge boat drifting towards him, bottom upwards. Witness could not have rendered any assistance to the barge.
   James Little, of Strood Hill, owner of the ill- fated barge, gave evidence to the effect that the craft was well founded. It was raised by the Thames Conservancy and brought to Greenhithe.
   P.C. Wiseman deposed to finding the bodies in the cabin. The men had evidently been drowned in their sleep. Their arms were folded , and there were no signs of a struggle.
   The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death through drowning, consequent on a heavy gale"
