13. In ye Ile in ye Body of ye Church, lies a Flat Stone; the Brass, on which ye Inscription was engraved, is torn off, and one half of it is lost; what now remains of it, and is preserv’d in ye Parish Chest is as follows. Hic Jacet Dns. Thomas BOTILLER, E… Obijt 12 Die Octobris Anno Dni. Mille …../ At each of ye Corners of this stone is fix’t a Brass Plate, in form of an Escucheon, or Shield; on ye First and Fourth of which, is engraved, an Ox; on ye Second and third, a Sheep; and, under Each, A graczar. There are still ye Brass Figures of a Man, and 8 Children (1 Son and 7 Daughters). The Figure of a Woman is torn off.

14. This Church is Small, but very Neat, and adorn’d with a very handsome Altar Peice, by Thomas BARRET Esq. of Lee in Littlebourne, in this County, who is ye Patron of ye Rectory, wch. is worth abt. 80 Pz. Year, clear.

15. There has formerly been good Painted Glass in ye Windows, as appears from some little of it still remaining. It has a neat Tower, embattled on ye Top, in wch. hang 3 Small Bells.
The First Bell has no Inscription.
The Second – Joseph HATCH made Me. 1610.
The Third – Ave Maria, Gracia Plena, Dns. Tecum.

16. The Church is dedicated to St. Michael (error for Giles). The Revd. Peter INNES A.M. is the present Rector. 1756.

17. Thomas BARRET Esq. is Lord of ye Manor of Kingstone.


18. On the Left Hand of ye Road, as You ascend ye Hill, from the Bridge, in this Parish, to ye Top of ye Downe, towards Ileden, are a great Many Tumuli; most of them very round and fair. I, this Year, 1767, by ye Permission of the Revd. Mr Dejoyas BYRCH, ye Psent. Lord of the Manor, opend no less than 54 of them. As I intend, God willing, to give a separate Account of them & their Contents, it will be sufficient, for ye present only to say, that, I am pretty sure, they are Roman; at least, Roman British; and, that, ye Person’s here deposited, were ye Ancient Inhabitants of this or some of ye Neighbouring Parishes, who had adopted the Roman Customs – certain, however, it is, that, they were not slain in Battle, as some have imagined, but, that they were Peaceable People, of both Sexes, & of different Ages. Those few indeed who had their Arms buried with them, I imagine, had formerly been Soldiers. This Year (viz: 1771) I opened no less than 174 more – by which I am fully convinc’d of my above Opinion.
