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).
