The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Warehorne Church
The Monumental Inscriptions in the churchyard of Warehorne Church, noted by Leland L. Duncan 1921. Transcribed and typed up by Dawn Weeks.
The following is as far as possible an exact transcription of Mr L. L. Duncan's field notebook for the M.I.s at Warehorne. 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.
Bob Chown, chief transcriber for the Woodchurch Ancestry Group very kindly provided suggested amendments/clarifications to Leland Duncan's somewhat dirty and aged notebook. 13-09-2016

The coloured glass in the windows of this church is of great antiquity - In the body of the church in a window on the South side are these arms viz - azure six stars of six points each placed three, two and one.
57. In a window on the North side are two coats the same viz - or a cross gules charged with five castles of the first between four fleurs de lis azure issuing out of as many turfs vert. These are the arms of the Grandisons. In the same window is the coat of the Fawkhams viz - argent a fesse gules in chief two roses or roundels. The colour is faded but the coat in the South window of the chancel may explain it viz - argent a fesse gules in chief two roundels of the second.
In the East window are the arms of England, but the whole field as well as the three lions are greatly corroded by time.
The West window is almost entire, the preservation of which is owing to its having been wired on the outside. In it are several portraitures, as the Virgin Mary teaching the young Jesus to read. The figure of an ancient man with a staff in his hand, 58. probably designed for Walleran de Faukham who flourished here in the reign of Henry the Second or some one of that family, as the arms of Fawkham above described are over his head.

Monumental Inscriptions in the Churchyard at Kemsing
The following is as far as possible an exact transcription of Mr L.L. Duncan's field notebook for the M.I.s in Kemsing churchyard. His notebooks written up in his shorthand, in pencil, on the site leave something to be desired. The notebooks measure 4½ x 7 inches and over time the paper has become somewhat aged but are an immensely valuable record of that date.

The church when it was enlarged and the North aisle added was repaved so that no old flooring remains. There is a tablet on the South wall of the chancel but I could not see the inscription. C.1840 -I should say.
The old chancel screen has been made up into a new and very ornate one with coving, loft, Rood, Mary and John and Cherubim and the Royal Arms under the Rood - the chancel looks very "Comper-esque". It is very ornate with much oak carving and shields of arms and a great Tester over the altar,. On the floor in the centre afore the altar step is a modern brass with canopy &c to a priest - ? Mr Skarratt (No.154).

Monumental Inscriptions of Christ Church, Snodland
Monumental Inscriptions of Christ Church, Snodland, noted by Andrew Ashbee 1984.
When you have finished looking at the following listing, be sure to visit the website of the Snodland Historical Society
INTRODUCTION
Churchyards include much historical evidence, not all of which survives elsewhere. Of particular importance, of course, is the information about local people: dates of death (rather than of burial as in the registers) and details of relationships within and between families. Often other interesting points emerge: ‘born in Gloucestershire’, ‘died at Monte video’, ‘of Spratts Brook Farm, Tunbridge Wells’ are three instances here. Some researchers may be interested in the stone-work itself: the types, styles, symbolic designs, or even the masons; others may collect the verses and epitaphs.
Time, weathering, erosion, damage by plants or man, all contribute to the decay of these memorials. We are fortunate that some Snodland inscriptions were noted in times past; this is the record of how things stood in 1984.
There are very few stones here dating back beyond 1800, and of those the greater number are now illegible. The oldest is the Wray family chest tomb east of the tower (c.1685). Originally the churchyard consisted of about half-an-acre, but in 1867, William Poynder, whose father had once owned the cement works, offered an additional half-acre on the north and west of the site if the Parish would provide a wall for it. This was done at a cost of £225 and the new ground was consecrated by Bishop Leigh of Rochester on October 20th that year. In September 1869 William Lee, the current owner of the cement works, spent £51 on providing trees and shrubs. Do any of these remain today? In 1905 the vestry was enlarged and it is probable that some memorials were moved to allow this. Certainly a drawing of 1841 shows a different arrangement of the group of stones now outside the vestry door. The churchyard was closed (with certain exceptions) in 1898, by which time the village cemetery was available. During the early 1950’s a large number of the memorials were lifted and placed (mostly) against the north wall. It is unfortunate that no record seems to have been made of their original positions, though one or two can be identified in old photographs. Today the churchyard is maintained by the Parish.
The inscriptions listed here have been collected over a period of five or six years. Many memorials are worn or damaged, and those against the wall tend to disappear behind ivy or brambles, so the task has not always been easy. However, repeated visits have caused some difficult inscriptions to yield up their secrets, though a good many illegible items remain. The church registers have sometimes helped solve problems with dates. I think there will be little more that can be deciphered on site, but there is always the possibility of finding old transcriptions or photographs which will add to the story.
At some time a proper and systematic survey should be undertaken, following guidelines suggested by the Council for British Archaeology, but many will find these lists adequate for their needs. In addition to recording the extant inscriptions, I have included details of some now lost, but copied in the past. Also, this seemed the place to publish the series of notes made for, or by, the parish sexton between 1785 and 1796. They survive as loose sheets within one of the church registers [Heritage Centre, Strood: P342/l/2]. Many indicate the position of burials and clarify relationships between some of Snodland’s eighteenth century parishioners.
Unless otherwise stated, each memorial is a headstone, with the inscription facing east. No attempt has been made here to copy the use of capitals and lower case letters of the originals.
Andrew Ashbee. April 1984
Postscript (1997). It is remarkable how worn the inscriptions have become in the few years since the survey was made.

SNODLAND, CHRIST CHURCH CHURCHYARD M.I.'S
Snodland, Christ Church with Index of names and places at end
Monumental Inscriptions of Christ Church, Snodland Noted by Andrew Ashbee & Keith Holdstock 1980's & 2004.
When you have finished looking at the following listing, be sure to visit the website of the Snodland Historical Society
IntroductionThe parish of what was then Lower Birling comprised those parts of Snodland to the south of the boundary stream (now under Rocfort Road), taking in Bramley Road, parts of Malling and Birling Roads and parts of Birling parish (including Ham Hill) which were nearer Snodland than Birling village. The burial ground, first consecrated on 10 October 1893, is all to the east of the church, including an addition incorporated on 6 November 1899. The first burial was on 29 November 1894.
An altercation many years ago between a churchwarden and the vicar is said to have resulted in the destruction of records showing the position of those early graves which had no memorials. However, for many of the more recent burials, the site has been recorded in the registers. During the early 1980s the writer and Mr. Keith Holdstock undertook a systematic survey to ascertain from all available evidence as much as could be learned about the placement of the graves. Names and some dates were recorded then, but not full transcriptions of the stones. Although the alignment on the ground is not always exact, Mr Holdstock drew up a table which is the basis for this booklet. He plotted rows from 1-22 [now 23] beginning at the east (lowest) end and assigned letters A,B,C, etc., to the graves in each row, with A nearest the path and spreading north and south. This will be a sufficient guide for anyone tracing a grave. It is not an easy site to maintain, although periodic attempts are made to clear the lower section, which quickly becomes overgrown. Soil movement at the east end because of the slope and the activities of animals has added to the problem. A row of shrubs formerly dividing upper and lower parts of the churchyard was removed some years ago, but the space has not been used for burials. The present survey was completed in May 2004. Many of the memorials have become virtually illegible in whole or part since the 1980s and some evidence recorded then has disappeared entirely. As usual the memorials include some names of persons not buried in this churchyard; some were cremated.
In this survey: (1) entries within square brackets [ ] have no visible memorial and information has been gleaned from the burial register, including the position code written there, also shown within [ ]. (2) entries in italics include information gleaned during the 1980s survey, but which is now illegible (maybe only in part), buried, or lost.
