During December 1919, Mr Leland L. Duncan borrowed from another Kentish antiquarian, Dr. F.W. Cock, F.S.A. an original manuscript in Cock's possession, which Duncan duly copied out in a quarto note book. The original manuscript was a record of the memorial inscriptions found by Joseph and Charles Perkins Gwilt when they surveyed the churchyard of old St Margaret's, Lee, in Kent, on the 22nd August, 1830.
