Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Capel-le-Ferne Church
The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Capel-le-Ferne Church. Noted 25th September 1892 by Leland L. Duncan.
The following is as far as possible an exact transcription of Mr L.L. Duncan's field notebook for the M.I.s in the Folkestone area where he seems have stayed during September and October 1891. His notebook written up in his shorthand, in pencil, on the site leaves something to be desired. The paper of the notebook has over time become somewhat dirty and aged but is an immensely valuable record of that date.

I could see no inscriptions in the church. – except the War Memorial Tablet. The church consists of Nave and Chancel and very narrow south Aisle and little chapel. The church was largely rebuilt in the 19th century but the arcade of the South aisle and the South door are original. 15th Century work and the greater part of the East window of the little chapel [St Katherines]. Also parts of the head tracery of the two perpendicular windows in the South aisle and one of those in the North wall of the Nave. The tower is probably 14th century as the door leading into it from the nave seems of that date. It may be earlier.

Monumental Inscriptions of St Mary's Churchyard, St Mary Cray
What follows is a transcription of one of the many pocket field notebooks belonging to the noted author and antiquarian, Mr Leland L. Duncan. For many years right up until his death Duncan visited Kent churches and churchyards and noted in his own shorthand the memorial inscriptions contained therein. These inscriptions he compiled are not "as carved in stone" but in his own standard form. Sadly he used a stub of a blunt HB pencil on cheap paper which over 100 years later is sometimes hard to read. However, in the period which has elapsed, many of the inscriptions are now even more difficult to read which makes L.L. Duncan's efforts all the more valuable. Frank Bamping 12 December 2000

From the 1890s onwards until his death the Lewisham based antiquarian and author, Mr Leland L. Duncan visited as many as 80+ Kent churchyards and recorded the memorial inscriptions in a field notebook using a shorthand and standardised form of recording. This is a transcription of his little notebook in which he noted all the stones which were of interest to him in the churchyard at Darenth.

Monumental Inscriptions of Wilmington
The following paper is, as far as possible, an exact transcription of a field note book compiled by the Lewisham antiquarian and author Mr Leland L. Duncan. It is one of a number which he compiled over a uncertain span of time. In carrying out his work of listing the memorial inscriptions he used a shorthand which at times is difficult to interpret particularly as it is written in pencil on poor paper.

Notes on Old Wilmington
The following notes, contributed by Sir Geo. Whitehead, Bart., appear in the current Parish Magazine:- "At one time there was a handsome brass to Oliver Godfrey, Esq., who died in 1610, the figure being that of a man, a modern inscription being inserted beneath." I am quite unable to discover when the brass was removed. -"Many generations of yeoman lie buried in the churchyard. A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1747 stating, for instance, that in the preceding year a quantity of Henry IV's coins had been dug out of a grave, but the registers for burials do not commence till 17th Century" - "Baldwins, where the Asylum now stands, is, of course, in Dartford Parish, but it is interesting to note some of its owners. Sir John Baude Kut[sic] (from whom it derived its name), the Abbot of Lessness, Cardinal Wolsey, and Eton College. The last occupant before the mansion was razed before the Asylum was erected in 1879-1900 was Mr (afterwards Sir) Hiram Maxim, engineer and inventor."

Monumental Inscriptions of Nursted
What follows is a transcription of one of the many pocket field notebooks belonging to the noted author and antiquarian, Mr Leland L. Duncan. For many years right up until his death Duncan visited Kent churches and churchyards and noted in his own shorthand the memorial inscriptions contained therein. These inscriptions he compiled are not "as carved in stone" but in his own standard form. Sadly he used a stub of a blunt HB pencil on cheap paper which over 100 years later is sometimes hard to read. However, in the period which has elapsed, many of the inscriptions are now even more difficult to read which makes L.L. Duncan's efforts all the more valuable.

Monumental Inscriptions of Ifield Churchyard
What follows is a transcription of one of the many pocket field notebooks belonging to the noted author and antiquarian, Mr Leland L. Duncan. For many years right up until his death Duncan visited Kent churches and churchyards and noted in his own shorthand the memorial inscriptions contained therein. These inscriptions he compiled are not "as carved in stone" but in his own standard form. Sadly he used a stub of a blunt HB pencil on cheap paper which over 100 years later is sometimes hard to read. However, in the period which has elapsed, many of the inscriptions are now even more difficult to read which makes L.L. Duncan's efforts all the more valuable.

They are written up in his shorthand, in pencil, on the site, on rather yellowing, aged paper. The starting date for his work is not given but he dates the last entry as 25.5.19. His little, 6"x 4" note books were purchased near his home from "Lydall & Son, High Class Stationers and Fancy Goods Importers of 75, High Street, Lewisham"!
The entire collection of Mr Duncan's notebooks and other materials are lodged with the Library of the Kent Archaeological Society.

Some Monumental Inscriptions of St Bartholomew's Church, Sydenham
Some Monumental Inscriptions of St Bartholomew's Church, Sydenham. Kindly supplied for the website by Richard J. Travell.
Gravestones recorded in 1974 by Guy Nevill, and published in 1974 by Mrs Doris Pullen in her book "Sydenham", with many added genealogical details. We are grateful for Mrs Pullen for allowing us to reproduce them here. Additional M.I.s from the Church and more modern M.I.s have been added by Richard J. Travell. Further information about the names individuals may be found in "Sydenham and Forest Hill Past", published 1999 by John Coulter of Lewisham Library.
The majority of the gravestones date from the thirty years after the church’s founding. This is because of the vast metropolitan cemeteries which took over here from May 1858
