16. This Church, which is very small, and shamefully out of Repair, consists only of the Chancell, and Body.

18. It has no Steeple; but a small crack’t Bell hangs near the Top of the Roof, at ye West End. It seems to have an Inscription upon it, which, however, for Want of a Ladder, I could not get at.

19. In the Body, are 2 very ancient Flat Stones, without Inscription. 1 of them has a Cross Fleury raised on it.

20. A Round Arch, and Pillasters, between the Chancell and the Body; and a round Arch, and carved Pillaster, at ye Outside of the South Door, shew it to be a very Ancient Building.

Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Postling Church

The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Postling Church, noted on 2nd October 1891 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.

13. In The Road, near ye Church Yard, (not in it, as HARRIS falsely asserts) rises one of The Heads of ye Lesser Stour. Its Waters have a petrifying Quality, as may be seen by its Effects on ye Moss wch. grows near it. It does not rise (properly speaking) out of ye Ground; but descends from ye Bank, in a Cascade-like Manner, wth. a Noise which may be heard at ye Distance of, at least, 10 Rods.

14. As some People, about ye 1st of August 1773, were digging Chalk, in a Pit, at a Place, call’d Linsey’s, on ye West Point of an Hill, in this Parish, call’d Palm Tree Hill, they discover’d an Human Scull in ye Side of the Pit – and, on taking it out of ye Ground, discover’d a small Fibula subuectans – on examining ye Place still further, they found 2 other Skeletons – and with them, another Fibula, exactly like the former. a Piece of slender gold Wire, a brass Buckle, and some Pieces of old Iron. The Fibulae, were, each of them set with an Ivory Hemisphere, in ye Center, and 3 Garnets round it – the Intervals between ye Garnets, are wrought and gilded. I have several of ye same Sort wch. I have dug up, at different Places. I purchased these, also, of the Persons who found them. The Farm, to which this Spott of Ground belongs is calle’d the Court Lodge. It belongs to Sr. Edward KNATCHBULL, Bart. who is Lord of ye Manor.

Monumental Inscriptions of St Nicholas Cemetery, Maidstone Road, Rochester

Monumental Inscriptions of St Nicholas Cemetery, Maidstone Road, Rochester - recorded by D. E. Williams 2007-08.

LOOKING EAST FROM MAIDSTONE ROAD, 2008
CLEARANCE IS WELL UNDER WAY: OVER THE PREVIOUS TWENTY YEARS THE ANGEL ON THE
 SKYLINE GRADUALLY DISAPPEARED FROM SIGHT UNDER INCREASING UNDERGROWTH. BEFORE 
THE CLEARANCE ONE COULD STAND FEET FROM IT AND NOT BE AWARE OF IT'S PRESENCE

Introduction

St. Nicholas Cemetery lies on high ground, on the eastern side of Maidstone Road, less than a mile from Rochester High Street. About 3 acres in area, the cemetery was apparently consecrated on June 2nd 1856. It was the first of Rochester’s new cemeteries, which replaced the old parish graveyards in the centre of Rochester, (neighbouring St. Margaret’s Cemetery opened in 1865); the old graveyard closed on 1st. of July 1856, in accordance with the Metropolitan Burial Act of 1852. St. Nicholas parish covered the centre of the old city, including the High Street, where many of the merchants, professional people, shopkeepers and tradesmen buried in the new cemetery, lived; also buried here are 17 of Rochester’s mayors.
   556 monuments were recorded in the winter and early spring of 2007– 08.
   In November 2007 the cemetery was suffering from at least 15 years of neglect; self sown sycamores, ivy, brambles and wild roses had grown unchecked, smothering many of the monuments and in some cases causing structural damage and displacement; some monuments were so densely covered that several weeks passed before their presence was detected.
   In January 2008, Medway Council acted to remedy the situation, and under the direction of Mr. Alan Hardy, volunteers began the hard work of clearing the sycamores and other undesirable vegetation; urgent structural repairs were also begun; hopefully, the remedial work will continue.
   Those seeking further information will find excellent sources at the Medway Archives and Local Study Centre, currently at Strood. The burial registers, on microfilm are held here, (also available on-line on City Ark to 1888). Ancestry on-line census records are available, (and at Medway and Kent County Council libraries); there is also a census card index, 1841-91, at the archives. A great number of the people buried in the cemetery have very detailed obituaries and funeral reports in local newspapers, copies of which are available on microfilm at the archives. There is an index to the "Chatham News", 1899-1960 (with a small gap); inquests are also reported in detail.
   Also available on City Ark are excellent photographic portraits of 12 men buried in the cemetery who were members of the Rochester Book Society in the last quarter of the 19th century. The same site contains the Couchman Collection of photographs, including many of Rochester High Street. There are additional photographs of Rochester in the collections of the archives.
   Local historian, Edwin Harris, in his "Recollections of Rochester", published in the "Chatham, Rochester & Gillingham Observer" during the 1930’s wrote about the buildings of the High Street , together with personal memories of many 19th century citizens.
   Another valuable source containing references to many of the people buried in the cemetery is the "Times", available on-line at Medway archives and libraries. The death notices are the main source but there are also some news items and a few wills reported; many of the "Times" death notices state place of, and cause of death, as well as relationships.

Section B   is a narrow strip bounded on the north by the main cemetery road and on the south by a tarmac path which extends most of the length of the section to the east.
Section C   comprises the area north of the cemetery road to the north wall and from the western end of Section A to the tarmac path just east of the large Foord family monument.
Section D   lies east of Section C and again is bounded by the cemetery road on the south and the north wall, it extends to the path east of the Wyles, Norton and Peche monuments.
Section E  comprises the area just east of the lodge garden boundary, it is separated from Section B on the north by a tarmac path, it’s southern edge forms the boundary with St. Margaret’s Cemetery. The eastern boundary is the path which runs in front of the group of Watson headstones.
Section F   lies immediately east of Section E bounded north and south as Section E , it extends to the east as far as the north-south tarmac path.
Section G   is east of Section F , bounded north and south as before. It ends on the path which leads south into St. Margaret’s Cemetery.
Section H   comprises the area north of the road to the north wall, from the path where Section D ends to the former tree line on the east marked by the John Anthony headstone.
Section I   runs parallel with Section H on the south side of the main road, the path to St. Margaret’s Cemetery on the west and the former tree line on the east, now marked by the line of monuments, Bell on the north through Sutton to Taylor on the south, where St. Margaret’s Cemetery forms the boundary.
Section J   lies north of a projected line along the middle of the main road (which formerly ran through this area to the east), to the north wall. It is immediately east of Section H and ends on the east at the almost empty grassy area, Section L.
Section K   lies south of a projected line through the middle of the main road,(which formerly ran through this area to the east). Section I is on it’s western boundary and St. Margaret’s Cemetery on the southern. It ends in the east at the open area of grass, Section L.
Section L   is an open area of grass bounded by the northern and eastern walls and St. Margaret’s Cemetery; it contains only two visible monuments.

Some Monumental Inscriptions in St Nicholas Church, Rochester, Burial ground in Castle Moat
                                                                               Transcribed by D. E. WILLIAMS February 2017

Burials in Rochester Castle moat, adjacent to St Nicholas Church, from the South-West

The headstones, and one ledger, (Edwards and Finch), are on the north wall and the other ledgers are grouped together, the Wildash stone is somewhat detached, to the north west. St. Nicholas church is in the centre, behind the trees, with the Cathedral on the right.
   The Maidstone Journal, 24th may 1842, has a brief note concerning Rochester, "in levelling a part of the ditch of Rochester Castle, to form an additional burying ground for St Nicholas parish, the workmen during the last week, have excavated a number of sculls , & other human bones a few feet below the surface. The date of the deposit of these remains is subject of interesting conjecture." So, we have a date of 1842 for the establishment of this ground, which remained in use, for new graves, until the opening of St Nicholas cemetery in 1856
   The earliest date, on two monuments , ( apart from a cenotaphic one), is 1843.
   One of the ledgers, (Wavell), is definitely in situ but others may not be, some are rather too close to each other.
   The Royal Engineers' Museum and Library holds photographs taken in Rochester, c. 1869, by the royal engineers' photographic section. One is a very clear view of the moat burial ground. At that date, there were considerably more monuments than exist today, it is very likely that when the ground was cleared by the local authority, probably in the early 1960's, many of the monuments were destroyed, this is reinforced by the fact that the surviving headstones, more or less, fit the space available on the wall, (the castle walls probably could not be used for this purpose). The few gaps probably mark the position of crumbled headstones? There is a poor record of local authority involvement in the 1960's, for instance, at St Mary Magdalene, Gillingham, over 500 monuments were destroyed. Fortunately, a first class transcription of all the churchyard monuments was made by Captain Connolly, R.E. in 1862, and re-transcribed, by the present writer, with wills and other notes added and are now on the Kent Archaeological Society web site.

Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Hothfield Church

The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Hothfield Church, noted by Leland L. Duncan. Also some Monumental Inscriptions  Noted by Rev Bryan Faussett noted 1758, added 24th January 2008.

The following is as far as possible an exact transcription of Mr L.L. Duncan's field notebook for the M.I.s. at Hothfield.  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.                                                         Transcribed and typed up by Christine Pantrey

Round ye Verge of ye Tomb. Here lyeth ye Bodies of Sr. John Tufton Knt. & Barontt. Sonne and Heire of John Tufton, Esq and Mary his Wife, Daughter of Sr. John BAKER Knt. one of the Privye Counsell to KING HENRY 8, EDWARD 6, QUEEN MARY & QUEEN ELIZABETH. And Dame Christian his Wife, Daughter and Coheire of Sr. Humphrey BROWNE, Knt. one of the Justices of the common Pleas, and of Dame Mary his Wife, Daughter of The Lo. HIUSSEY. The Said Sr. John TUFTON had to his First Wife Olimpha BLOWER, Daughter and Heire of Christopher Blower Esq; by whom he had 3 Daughters, Ann, Elizabeth and Margaret. And, by ye said Christian, his 2d. Wife, Six Sonnes: Nicholas, John, Humphrey, Richard, William & Thomas. And 4 Daughters; Cicely, Mary, Ann and Elizabeth.
On The North Side of The Tomb. The said John TUFTON lived peaceably in his Country, and was alwaies ready and well furnished to defend the same. He was bountyfull in releiving the Poor; and A Continual Comforter to the Distress’d, in all Times of Necessity; And, in his Will, gave a perpetuall Legacy for the Succour of this Parish, and of Rainham, besides many other Legacies to be presently bestowed upon divers of his Neighbour Parishes, for the Releife of the Poore, and for mending of the High Waies.
On The South Side of The Tomb. He reedified The 2 Isles of This Church (after it was burnt) at his own Charge; and, under Thys, made a Vault for a Burial Place, for Him and his Posterity. And, after he had lived 80 Yeares and seen much Joy of his said Children, and Children’s Children, he departed this Life, and cheerfully yeilded up his Soule unto Christ Jesus, his Redeemer, with an assured Hope, of a joyfull Resurrection.

150. *At The East End of this North Chancell is a Darkish Room, having a Door or entrance to it, out of the N. Chancell, not above a Yard high; which, I was told, had not been opened for Many Years. I enquired ye Use of it; and had for Answer, that, it was to put Corpses into, to be kept till they amounted to a Large Number, on Acct. of the Difficulty of opening the Vault wch. is under the Tomb. This Account of the Room, tho a bad one, is the best I cd. get.

151. This Family buried cheifly at Raynham; where they have a remarkably large & fine Vault.

Lapillos / Tale fuit Charis Dum fuit ille suis / Avulsa fragrante Rosa fit Decolor Hortus / Et Gema elapsa Lamina pallet inopos / Com sortem hic subiit ivvenis miserabilis urnœ / Exsulat insignis mista pudore fideo / Obiit Anno Domini 1639 February 22 / Ætat: suœ 43

Wisht ashes were it piety to pray / Thy Soule might once againe informe thy clay / Each holy lengthe a prayer booke would penn / And force the Heavens to send thee backe agen / I blame they Goodnesse, since tis understood / Thou dyedst so soone because thous Livedst so good / Say, Heavens, when ye did want a Sts supply Did wee not send a Royall subsidy / This moyle more treasure to their glory brings / Then the proud camells of the Arabian Kings.

To the tender trust of that sadd earth which gave it birth We recommend this sacred dust.

Sub cruce tuta quies Et tu Alienigena Gratus ades, Silector ades Perlege Severœ, Verœ, Sincerœ Probitatis, Pulchritudinis, Pietatis Epitomen Sed nihil hic orbis qd Perenet Possidet Serius, Ocyus Omnium versatur urna Heri tuum erat, et hon est Hodie tuum est, et non erit Cras tuum erit, si vixceris Cuncta humana Fumus umbra vanitas Ad sumum Nihil Lector Valeao et Memento.

W.B.
Here lyes her Corpes, which living held a Spiritt,/Whear Zeale and Modesty did still inheritt./Till God, who knew the Virtues that She had,/Saw hir, too good, to live with us, too bad./Hir Earthy Part lies here involved in Dust;/Hir Heavn’ly Sowle, a Saynte among ye Just.
