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 Wrotham
What follows is as far as possible an accurate transcription of two of L.L. Duncan's field notebooks for West Kent memorial inscriptions. 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
