  • Notes on Kentish Royal Arms
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 79 1964 NOTES ON KENTISH ROYAL ARMS By V. J. B. TORE ABOUT thirty years ago some notes were compiled and published in Arch. Cant., xlv, 209-15, on certain royal arms in Kent which had recently received preservative treatment. I called attention to the slow- ness with which the subject had had any interest shown in it, up till then; and in the long interval since, it is only comparatively recently that it has begun to come into its own. Within about the last decade, a great deal has happened, and a number of English counties, particularly in the Midlands, has had lists compiled for the respective areas, addition- ally to much rescue and preservative work carried out on particular examples. If opportunity offers, I hope in due course to attempt a similar catalogue for Kent. But meanwhile it seems high time to record in these pages much that has occurred since the framing of the former list. I propose first to refer back to that list, supplying any necessary addenda et corregenda; then to set down particulars of later and recent preservative work; with a brief record of cases where something still remains to be done. 1. Hoo ST. WBEBXJEGH It is gratifying to correct the former statement that the two coats of Elizabeth I and James I were apparently lost. When last seen, both were existing, but instead of proper display in open church, I found them on the walls of the tower basement, with the further handicap that this is normally locked against visitors' entry, so that the arms can be seen only dimly and obliquely through glass which fills the arch.

  • Shorter Notes
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society SHORTER NOTES UPPER BUSH HALL HOUSE Ax account of this structure, now known as 'Barrow Hill House', has previously appeared in this journa1,1 and useful supporting evidence of the dating postulated therein (p. 157) has since been obtained by excavation. EXCAVATION The house has been restored by the present owners Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Knott, and during the course of restoration in 1965 it was possible to excavate an area within the limits of the hall (Fig. 1) before the builders laid down a new concrete floor. A hearth was found in the position likely to have been used for a central fire in an open hall, and with the hearth were associated two clay floors and a layer of rubbish 'sandwiched' between them (Fig. 2). The hearth was evidenced by a quantity of packed hard clay, burnt red and associated with a dark rubbish layer containing tile fragments, oyster shells and sherds. The hearth was contiguous with the earliest clay floor found which overlaid a close-packed layer of flints. The sherds from the rubbish layer are datable to a period extending from the mid-fourteenth to the fifteenth century, and being contemporaneous with the hearth seem to confirm the suggested date of the fourteenth century for the erection of the extant hall-house. This is based on the assumption that the hearth discovered was in fact used in the existing house and not in some earlier structure; this unfortunately cannot be archmologically proved for the following reason: The earlier, and lower, clay floor designated 1 in Fig.

  • Notes on Bromley and the Neighbourhood.*
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 24 1900 ( 139 ) NOTES ON BROMLEY AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.* BY PHILIP NOltMAN. BROMLEY, no doubt, sprang up as a town originally from being the residence of the Bishops of Rochester, who were connected with the place for so many centuries. The earlier history of its church and manor has been very well written by Dr. Beeby in Volume XIII. of Archceologia Gantiana (not to mention previous authors), and by Mr. Clinch in his Anti- quarian Jottings, published in 1889. I will not needlessly o-o over the old ground, but will confine myself, as much as possible, to a record of curious facts about this town and neighbourhood likely otherwise to be f orgotten, and of changes in its physical and social conditions from the time that my family first came to reside here until my own boyhood. Much of the information contained in this Paper is derived from a manuscript written by my father, who was one of the original members of the Kent Archseological Society, a contributor to its publications, and keenly attached to his native district. My great-grandfather James Norman settled at Bromley Common about the year 1755, in a house built at the beginning of last century, and known as the Rookery, which is still standing, though much transformed and added to. It had been previously occupied by the Chase family and others; the Chase arms remain, painted on the ceiling of the staircase. Bromley was then a small country town, with two annual fairs and weekly markets, first granted as long ago as the reign of Henry VI.
