30. William SMYTH, upon the 27th of January 1576 was admitted by the Archbishop to the Perpetual Vicarage of the Parish Church of Benenden, the patronage having lapsed to Queen Elizabeth. (First Fruits, Wiltus Smith, 28 Jan. 19. Eliz).
31. Mark SAUNDERS was instituted to the Parish Church of Benenden in February 1579, the presentation to the same being again in the hands of the Crown. The paving of the Chancel having been presented at the Visitation as being in "some decay for want of paving", Saunders certified in 1581 that it had been repaired. Two years later complaint was made that the Vicar did not wear the Surplice, and neglected to Catechise the young. (First Fruits: M. Saunders Cl.22 Mar.22 Eliz).
32. Walter JONES, M.A. was instituted on the last day of March 1586, the Church having been rendered vacant by the death of the last Incumbent. The Crown once more presented in consequence of the minority of Sir Henry GULDEFORD, Knight. After holding the Benefice upwards of twenty years Jones was deprived. (Whitgift.466.b. p.233).,(First Fruits: Walters Jones 8 Apr. 28.Eliz). In 1558 this Vicar is thus mentioned in the Archdeacon’s Visitation: Visitacio dni Archini Cant. Decanatus Charinge: "Bennenden. Vicarius dns Walterus Jones artiu magr. compt".
33. Vincent HUFFAM, M.A. was Vicar of Seasalter in 1596, and in April 1608 was instituted to Benenden, his patron being Sir Henry GULDEFORD, Knight. Huffam resigned both these Benefices in 1611. That Huffam was a married man appears from an amusing Presentment made at the Archdeacon’s Visitation. (First Fruits: Vincent Huffam 6 Jan. 6 Jac).
34. Richard AUSTEN, B.A. Upon the resignation of Huffam, Sir Henry GULDEFORD, Knight, appointed Richard Austen as his successor. The Archbishop instituted him June 1611. According to Hasted he died in 1643. Abbot. 388. a.p. 150. (First Fruits: Ricus Austen 6 Jun. 9 jac).
35. Nathanial WILMOTT, B.A., was instituted according to Hasted March 22 1643, his patroness having been Sarah SHARP, widow, hac. vice. The Liber Institutionum however gives November 13 1646 as the date. (Lib.Inst. p.20 at Record Office. 13 Nov. 1646. Nath: Willmott £17.12s.6d. First Fruits. 13 Nov.22 Carol).
36. Joseph USBORNE, alias OSBORN, was admitted to Benenden Vicarage by Oliver CROMWELL in 1658. Particulars of his appointment are to be found at Lambeth Library. He held the Benefice until his ejectment in 1662. Calamy notices at length the career of this Vicar, and states that one Austin was turned out of the living for insufficiency, and that the people got Osborn to preach among them. It is certain however that Nathaniel Wilmott was his immediate predecessor. He is said to have preached in Sussex, as well as in London, and various parts of Kent, after his ejectment from Benenden, and finally retired to Staplehurst, where he died December 28 1714 at the ripe age of 85.
37. Staplehurst Parish Register. 1714, Jan.3. Buried Jos. USBORN. 1712, Febr.20. Buried the wife of Jos. Usborne. There is an altar tomb in the churchyard there, near the south porch, thus inscribed: (on the south side). Here’s intered ye body of Mr Joseph Usborne, Minister of ye Gospel, who departed this life December ye 28 1714 aged 85 years. (On the north side) Also ye body of his dearly loving wife Mrs Grace Usborne who departed this life February ye 16th 1712 in the 81st year of her age.
It seems probable that Usborne selected Staplehurst as his place of retirement, because in Daniel POYNTELL, the Rector, he found a kindred spirit, both being ejected from their Benefices by the Bartholomew Act of 1662.
Major Usborne, the present possessor of ‘Loddenden’, Staplehurst, states that Joseph was third son of Thomas Usborne of Loddenden, further that he "appears as family arbitrator" and that his small branch died out.
Benenden [V]. Mr Joseph USBORNE.
One Austin being turned out of this living for insufficiency, the people got Mr Osborn to preach among them for half a year, during which time he had an invitation to a place in Sussex.
The people of Benenden having notice of it, met together, and united in an earnest request to Mr Osborn to continue with them. As the income was but small, they readily entered into a subscription to increase it to £60.
The Patron of the living being abroad with KING CHARLES, it fell into the hands of a committee in London to provide for the place.
When the Protector took upon him to place and displace Ministers Mr Osborn was tried by a committee, when he brought a certificate from the people, and another from the neighbouring Ministers as to his abilities and behaviour. He obtained the Protector’s order for the living, and the Vicarage house being gone to decay, the committee agreed to repair it.
At the Restoration in 1660, when all the Ministers whom Oliver put in, were to be immediately turned out, HENDON, Esq., the patron who came over with King Charles, finding Mr Osborn greatly beloved by the people, and knowing the living to be but small, would not present any one in his room. His brother also (afterwards Sir John Hendon) desired him to continue there and, if he possibly could, to conform.
But he told him that faith and a good conscience would stand him in more stead than a hundred livings, and he quitted this Vicarage in 1662.
Mr BUCK, the Dean of Rochester, promised him a better living than Benenden, provided he would conform. To which he answered, that if he could have conformed at all, it should have been at Benenden rather than for any other place whatever. His integrity was the more remarkable, as he had six children when he was silenced, and his wife was not got up from lying in of the last of them.
After his ejectment, he lived for sometime in Staplehurst, and then went to Heathfield, Sussex, where he had four children more, and there he continued for several years. He afterwards preached nine years at Brightelmstone (Brighton). About 1681, he was sued for £20 a month, on account of his Nonconformity. Upon this he came to London, and preached some time at Peckham. He afterwards went to Ashford, and from thence to Tenterden, where he continued about nine years.
He spent about nine years more at Bersted, near Maidstone, where he concluded his ministry, by reason of his infirmities, and then returned to Staplehurst, where he finished his course, December 28 1714 aged 85.

38. Nicholas MONYMAN was presented to Benenden Vicarage by Sir John HENDEN, Knight, and instituted by the Archbishop in September 1662. He was previously Master of Cranbrook Grammar School. The records there contain this note: "1658 November 22 Nicholas Monyman of Appledore", that being all that is said respecting his appointment as master; and from the Parish Books it appears he was present at a Vestry Meeting in 1661.
Then again the School records have this entry: 1663 April 6 Rev. John COOPER, Vicar of Cranbrook. Cooper had been Vicar only five months before he had the Mastership of the School. He held both appointments for some time. Monyman held the Mastership until Cooper was appointed, and therefore did duty at Benenden for five months before he left Cranbrook.
This Vicar was buried at Benenden, as appears by the Parish Register: January 22nd 1700. Nicholas Monyman, late Vicar.
39. John SAUNDERS, LL.B. took his degree from St John’s College, Oxford, November 4 1697 and was by the Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of that University presented to this Vicarage, his institution taking place in July 1700. He died April 5 1724, aged 50 and was buried in Benenden Church, where a Monument formerly existed bearing his Coat of Arms. The Parish Register thus records his burial: 1724, April 10. The Rev. John Saunders, Vicar.
40. John FETHERSTONE, B.A. was instituted to Benenden in April 1724, having been presented thereto by Sir John NORRIS, Knight. He was appointed Vicar of Leysdown July 18 1732 and also on the same day Rector of Warden, both of which he resigned upon his induction into the Vicarage of Bethersden April 6 1734. He died in 1747. (Archaeologia Cant. xvi.92). (First Fruits p.36. Johes Fetherston. 21 April 1724. Johes Norris mil.).

Dr Slocock was collated to the Vicarage of Benenden in 1741. It had lapsed to the Archbishop, Sir John Norris not having presented in due time. (Gent. Mag. 1741, pp.554, 609).
On the 28th October 1741 his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury conferred on Benjamin Slocock Doctor in Divinity the Vicarage of the parish church of Benenden, Kent, vacant by the death of John Prince the last incumbent thereof, and belonging to the donation of collation of his Grace by laps of time for this turn he having first subscribed. (Potter 276.a.).
44. John WILLIAMS, S.C.L. was presented to this Vicarage in the room of Dr Slocock, who resigned. A dispensation was given in 1761 to hold the rectory of Ripple. His successor to the latter was appointed in 1764. (Gent. Mag. 1744. 282).

On 24 January 1799 in the presence of William MOORE, Notary Publick, Phillips Moneypenny, Clerk, was instituted to the parish church of Benenden, Kent, vacant by the death of Joseph Dunn, the last incumbent to which he was presented by Thomas Hallet HODGES of Hempstead Place, asserting himself to be the true and undoubted patron thereof. (Moore 555).
47. Henry HODGES, B.A. On 12 October 1803 Henry Hodges, Clerk, Bachelor of Arts, was instituted to the Vicarage and parish church of Benenden, Kent, void by the resignation of Phillips Monypenny, Clerk, the last incumbent to which he was presented by Thomas Law HODGES of Hemstead, the true and undoubted patron.

On the 29 November 1805 Daniel Boys, B.A. was instituted to the Vicarage and parish church of Benenden, Kent, vacant by the cession of the Reverend Henry Hodges, Clerk, the last incumbent, to which he was presented by Charles CARTWRIGHT, heretofore of Narnham, County Notts, but now of White Waltham, County Berkshire, the Rev. John LAW, D.D., Archdeacon of Rochester, Reverend John DISNEY, late of Chelsea now of Hyde near Ingatestone, D.D., and C. LAMB, asserting themselves to be the true patrons. (Sutton II.5).
50. William John EDGE, M.A. was a scholar of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and it is a somewhat remarkable fact that he was the fifth, and his son, W.H.F. Edge, the present Vicar of Tilford, Surrey, the sixth, member of his family, in successive generations, who were educated at that College.
He took the degree of B.A. (Senior Optime) in 1834, and that of M.A. in 1837, being ordained Deacon June 5 1836 by the Bishop of Gloucester, at St Margaret’s, Westminster, on letters Dimissory from the Bishop of London (Church of England Magazine, I., Ecclesiastical Intelligence, I., 1836), and Priest by the Bishop of London May 21 the following year. He served as Curate of St Nicholas, Colchester, from 1836-1838.
When Priest Mr Edge was presented by his father to the Rectory of Waldingfield, a small parish in the Deanery of Colneis, in the county of Suffolk, and shortly afterwards when Bishop Stanley, of Norwich, revived the Office of Rural Deans in that diocese, he was appointed Rural Dean, and held the Office till he removed from the Diocese in 1848. In this year he was appointed Perpetual Curate of Hartshill, Warwickshire, and in 1851 took sole charge of St John’s, Cheltenham. After this was Rector of St Aldate, Gloucester, 1854 to 1858, when he was appointed Vicar of Benenden by the Right Honourable Gathorne HARDY, MP, the present Lord CRANBROOK.
Soon after Mr Edge came into residence at Benenden a farmer (at whose house, a mile and a half distant from the church, a Wesleyan service was held on Sunday evenings) happened to tell him that the local preacher who conducted it was on the point of removal, and that the people were greatly perplexed by the difficulty of finding a successor. Mr Edge replied that he knew of one who might possibly suit them, that, in fact, it was none other than himself, who was sent into the parish for the express purpose of teaching its inhabitants; and that he was quite ready to carry on the service as hitherto, with extempore prayers if the people wished it, though he should himself rather use the Litany, and that he would have no objection to Wesley’s hymns, on condition that the selection of them was always left to him. The farmer, himself a Wesleyan, jumped at the offer, and said that the poor people would be very grateful; that – as to the prayers – they all had a great love for the Litany, "and, Sir", he added, "bring your own hymn book!". His wife, also a Wesleyan, begged leave to introduce an harmonium, which she would gladly play. The immediate result was, that the old service was not interrupted, but continued without any break or intermission for some four or five years, until a new tenant came into residence, by which time not a few of the congregation had become regular attendants at church, and some of them, including the Wesleyan farmer, communicants.
In the summer of 1865 an incident occurred to which Mr Edge always referred with particular pleasure. A French clergyman, M. le Chanoine CHENNAILLES, whom he had casually met the year before in Paris, and who had been very courteous to him, accepted an invitation to spend a few days with him at Benenden, in the company of a lay friend, who held an office in his church, not unlike that of an English churchwarden. He stipulated that he might wear his sontane, or cassock, "for", said he, "to speak frankly, I have no lay clothes to wear". I willingly assented, and when at my request the tidal train was stopped for the travellers’ convenience, there was a great sensation at Staplehurst station, the general impression being that the Archbishop of Canterbury was the favored party. And when in a morning the good man used to walk round the green, reading his Breviary, the few who met him invariably moved or touched their hats, perhaps taking him for the Archbishop or Chief Rabbi. Had he read aloud, perhaps some idea might have been conveyed to them, as in the case of a former Vicar of Coggeshall, in Essex, who being in the habit of reading aloud in his garden, was set down as a lunatic by a neighbour, who could both see and hear him, till one Sunday morning, as he began to read his sermon over, and in a sonorous voice uttered his text "I am not mad, most noble Festus", the neighbour ceased to regard him as crazy, and always said of him afterwards, "O no, he is not mad, but a very pleasant and courteous old gentleman".
The Vicar’s Parisian friend, who was made a Canon of Notre Dame, soon after his return home, was so charmed by his reception that he invited him to Paris in 1866 and introduced him to many of his brother clergy, and above all to the good Archbishop DARBOY, afterwards murdered by the Commune.
This excellent man, amongst other good things, said to Mr Edge: "There are barriers between us that we did not erect, and which neither you nor I can demolish. But though we are debarred from visible union we can cultivate concord, or unity of hearts, we can love one another and pray for one another, and trust to God for the rest".
The Rev. W.J. Edge preached his last sermon at Benenden, April 15 1877, when he reminded his hearers that he had been their spiritual pastor more than nineteen years. During that period great changes had been wrought, the parish church almost rebuilt, by their Squire’s munificence, and a Mission room erected at East End, besides new schools (those near the church as well as those at East End).
During the period of his Vicariate 889 persons had been baptized (715 by his own hand), 465 parishioners had been buried (331 by himself), and he had at the parish church and at East End preached about 1600 sermons.
The Vicar closed his parting address with St Paul’s words, where he bade farewell to the elders of the Church of Ephesus: "And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them that are sanctified".
After holding Benenden nearly twenty years, he exchanged this Benefice with his successor for the Vicarage of Holy Trinity, Upper Tooting, which he resigned in 1882.
William John EDGE was appointed select preacher at the University of Cambridge, 1855, and is the author of the following works:

51. Edward David CREE, graduated from Oriel College, Oxford, receiving his B.A. in 1849, and M.A. in 1852. Was ordained Deacon in 1850, and Priest 1851, Dur. He held the curacy of Newburn, Northumberland, 1850 to 1852, and tutorship of St Peter’s College, Radley, 1852-1855. After holding the Vicarage of Holy Trinity, Upper Tooting, from 1855 to 1877, he exchanged the same for the Vicarage of Benenden. He was appointed Commissary for the Bishop of Kaffraria in 1882. Mr Cree resigned Benenden in 1887, having been Vicar ten years, during which period he greatly improved the Glebe House by adding a new front. He now resides in Eastbourne.
The incumbency of this Vicar was marked by the re-fronting of the Vicarage at the cost to himself of £1000; and the addition of a chancel to East End Chapel by Lord CRANBROOK, also the erection of St George’s Club, and the well, close to the Manor house, in honour of the Queen’s Jubilee, likewise generously provided by the noble Lord.
Mr Cree married in 1855 Augusta, daughter of Rev. C.E. PLATER, Vicar of Newchurch (Gent. Mag. xliv 641); and in 1866, Isabel Laura, daughter of John TAYLOR, Esq. architect. By the latter he has had Norah Lilian (deceased), Herbert Edward, Ernest Wilford, Mary Gwendoline, Edgar Hayley and Effie Edgington.

52. Samuel JOY, M.A. took the degree of B.A. from Worcester College, Oxford, in 1856, when he was awarded by the Examiners a double Honorary Class in the School of Classics and Mathematics, and advanced to the degree of M.A. in 1859, was ordained Deacon in 1857, and Priest 1858. His first Clerical appointment was to the curacy, precentorship and lectureship of Leeds, under Dr HOOK, which he held from 1857 to 1859, when he was appointed Perpetual Curate of Bramley, Yorkshire, which living he resigned in consequence of ill health in 1866. In 1872 he accepted the Vicarage of Long Lane, Derbyshire, until 1875, when the Precentorship of Ripon Cathedral, together with the Vicarage of Ripon were offered to him. This semi-Cathedral, semi-parochial appointment he held until 1884, when he accepted the less laborious charge of the Vicarage of Birstwith, Yorkshire, and was at the same time collated to an Honorary Canonry in Ripon Cathedral. Canon Joy only held the Vicarage of Birstwith for two years, when he was preferred by Viscount CRANBROOK, to the Vicarage of Benenden, where he now resides.

Monumental Inscriptions of St Peter & St Paul Church, Bromley
Some Monumental Inscriptions of St Peter & St Paul Church, Noted by Richard Holworthy. Published in The British Archivists Vol 1 Sept 1914 to June 1915. Kindly typed up for the website by Pat Tritton.
Preface.
In the "Gentleman’s Magazine" for 1829, Part II, page 201, there appears a long letter, signed "Viator Antiquarius", relating to the restoration of Bromley Church. It reads: "Passing through the town of Bromley in Kent the other day, I found the old church there nearly pulled down, nothing remaining but the well-built Gothic tower and portions of the side walls. The gates of the churchyard were fortified with a palisade, so that it was impossible for an antiquary to enter and satisfy himself what might be the probable result to ancient vestiges in the Church of such desecration and destructive appearances …"/.
This same "desecration" – usually called "restoration" – has been the fate of most churches, but many have suffered to a far greater extent than that of Bromley. Certainly, several interesting monuments in the church have disappeared, but the majority were replaced. One very important brass was discovered embedded in the masonry and preserved, though not placed on the wall until 1884, i.e. 55 years after its discovery. This small brass, which is dated 1361, is to the memory of Isabella, wife of Richard LACER, a wealthy merchant and mayor of London. He was lord of the manor of Bromley, which he purchased, with his first wife Juliana, in 1333 from Sir CONAN, son of Henry, and seven years later Sir Thomas LATYMER released all his right in the manor to Lacer. In 1361 a terrible plague broke out in France and spread to London, carrying off nearly 60,000 people, and it would appear that both Richard and Isabella were among the victims, for Richard’s will is dated Sunday, 25 July 1361, and that of his wife on the following Thursday, wherein she is described as "widow", which, as we see from the brass, was also the day of her death. By their wills both desired to be buried in Bromley Church.
Some of the inscriptions, long since disappeared, are printed on pages 1 and 2, but others are to be found in Thorpe’s "Registrum Roffense", while in Weaver’s "Ancient Funeral Monuments" mention is made, inter alia, of the "portraiture on the Church Wall of Richard de WENDOVER, Bishop of Rochester and Parson of this Town, a holy and virtuous man, who was consecrated in 1238, and died in 1250". He was not, however, buried in Bromley, but at Westminster by the King’s command.
Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel JOHNSON, was buried in the church, and the inscription bears the date 1753, whereas it should be 1752 – an oversight one would not expect to escape the notice of the greatest critic of modern times!
Time would not permit a comparison to be made of the dates on the monuments with the registers; it would therefore be advisable to check them should there be any doubt on this point, especially as many stones in the churchyard are in a very dilapidated condition, and in such cases misreading is only too easy.
As the churchyard is closed there will be no further interments, except in cases of family graves.
To assist those wishing to trace particular graves, the inscriptions have been divided into five sections, each section being separated by a footpath. Section I commences in the south-west corner of the yard (from a single grave) and, gradually widening, reaches to a path running directly south from the lych gate. Section II covers the remainder of the graves on the west of the church, and is divided from Section I by a narrow path running from the south entrance to the church to a small gate in the south-west corner of the yard. Sections III and IV are plots adjoining the church on the south and east, and north respectively. Section V covers the plot to the east of the path running south from the lych gate. All inscriptions have been taken in the same order, i.e. south to north.
I cannot conclude without acknowledging my warmest thanks to the Venerable Donald TAIT, Archdeacon of Rochester, formerly Vicar of Bromley, and the Rev. Canon WILSON, the present Vicar, for their kindness in granting me permission to copy the inscriptions, and to Mr George HARRIS, the Sexton, for his great assistance, without which many could never have been copied. R.H.

STAIRS TO NORTH GALLERY.
65. Near this place lies the body of Elizabeth MONK, who departed this life on the 27th day of August, 1753 aged 101. She was the widow of John Monk, late of this Parish, blacksmith, her second husband to whom she had been a wife near fifty years; by whom she had no children, and of the issue of the first marriage none lived to the second. But virtue would not suffer her to be childless: an infant to whom and to whose father and mother she had been nurse {such is the uncertainty of temporal prosperity), became dependent upon strangers for the necessaries of life; to him she afforded the protection of a mother. The parental charity was returned with filial affection; and she was supported in the feebleness of age by him whom she had cherished in the helplessness of infancy. Let it be remembered that there is no station in which industry will not obtain power to be liberal: nor any character on which liberality will not confer honour. She had been long prepared by a simple and unaffected piety for that awful moment which however delayed is universally sure. How few are allowed an equal time to probation! How many by their lives appear to presume upon more! To preserve the memory of this person but yet more to perpetuate the lesson of her life this stone was erected by voluntary contributions.

68. To the memory of John HAWKSWORTH, L.L.D. who died the 17th of November 1773, aged 58 years. That he lived useful and ornamental to society, in an eminent degree, was among the boasted felicities of the present age; that he laboured for the benefit of posterity, let his own pathetic admonition at once record and realize. From the Adventurer, No.140. The hour approaches, in which, whatever praise or censure I have acquired by these compositions, if they are remembered at all, will be remembered with equal indifference, and the tenure of them only will afford me comfort. Time, who is impatient to date my last paper, will shortly moulder the hand that is now writing it in the dust, and still the breast that now throbs at the reflection: but let not this be read as something that relates to another; for a few years only can divide the eye that is now reading from the hand that has written. This awful truth, however obvious and however reiterated, is yet frequently forgotten; for, surely, if we did not lose our remembrance, or at least our sensibility, that view should always predominate in our lives, which alone can afford us comfort when we die. Bromley in Kent, Mar. 8, 1754. Also to the memory of Mr Benjamin BROWN, of this Parish, who died 22nd October 1777, aged 66 years; If no shining Qualities adorned his Life, cheerful Integrity and diligent Good-will rendered it always desirable to others, and comfortable to himself.

A Female Inheritrix being afterwards married to HAUT, it was stiled Hauts Bourne. This Parish was called Bishops Bourne, because it was given by K. KENULPHUS, at the Request of the Arch Bishop of Canterbury, to ye Priory of Christs Church. (Pages 89,90).

Monumental Inscriptions in The Church and Churchyard of All Saints Biddenden, Kent. Taken in June 1920 by Leland L. Duncan. Typed up by Christine Pantrey, checked by Zena Bamping.
From the Rev. W. H. Collis The Rectory, . Biddenden. 22/12/1920.
Dear Mr Duncan,
Thank you ever so much ! It was most kind of you to send me the list and plan and I will keep it in the church safe for future reference. What hours of work it must have involved! But you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have supplied the church with a valuable document which at any time may prove of great use and enable us to answer enquiries which with out its aid, we could not have done. I shall look forward to seeing you here in the summer and offer you the opportunity of searching the Church Registers, should you wish to do so.
With kind regards and best wishes for Xmas: and the New Year
I remain, Sincerely yours, William. H. Collis.
