 PREFACE. 
 
 THERE is, perhaps, no feature of the present age more 
 striking than the almost universal dissemination of know- 
 ledge ; but, amidst the many works purporting to contain 
 useful information, it is somewhat singular that the idea 
 of local directories should have been generally over- 
 looked. In this city, the want of such a publication, 
 which might serve as a guide to the visitor or traveller, 
 and, at the same time, assist the resident, has long 
 been acknowledged. It was with a conviction of this 
 feeling that the publishers have undertaken the task of 
 supplying, in a portable form, and at a cheap price, a 
 correct directory of the names, trades, professions, and 
 residences, of the inhabitants of Canterbury. It is indeed 
 true, that the works of Pigot and Co., and Robson and 
 Co., contain brief directories of the place ; but these 
 are acknowledged on all hands to be most incorrectly 
 given, while the high price of their publications place 
 them beyond the reach of the many being, from their 
 size and nature, destined rather for the libraries of the 
 wealthy, than for the great body of the middling classes.

 iv PREFACE. 
 
 In order to secure that degree of correctness, which 
 is so desirable in a work of this nature, neither time or 
 expense has been spared to render it worthy of public 
 support. Besides the information afforded in the Direc- 
 tory, a topographical description has been prefixed, 
 which combines at once the purposes of an historical 
 manual of the great leading events which have transpired 
 within the walls of this ancient city, and serves also as 
 a guide to the stranger, pointing out, and correctly 
 describing, every object of interest deserving attention. 
 Unlike the character of " Guide Books" in general, the 
 " Topographical History of Canterbury," &c v is not a 
 mere compilation ; for no statement has been made 
 without the strictest inquiry, and no description has 
 been given without the most minute personal observa- 
 tion. 
 
 With the view of rendering the work still more de- 
 serving of support, the publishers have furnished, at con- 
 siderable labour, a full and detailed account of the 
 numerous PUBLIC CHARITIES of the city a task which, 
 having never been before attempted, gives the publica- 
 tion a novel and important character. 
 
 To those gentlemen who have so kindly afforded 
 many facilities to the proprietors in their progress, they 
 most respectfully tender their acknowledgments for the 
 courtesy which has been evinced, and the information 
 so readily supplied ; and they cannot take leave of the 
 public without thanking those numerous subscribers who
 
 PREFACE. y 
 
 so readily supported the undertaking, not only for their 
 promptness in forwarding the design, but for the patience 
 they have evinced in waiting for its completion. In 
 fact, the delay which has taken place in the publication 
 has not arisen from any fault of those engaged on the 
 work, but is solely to be attributed to the narrow- 
 minded and unprincipled conduct of certain individuals 
 in the trade in this city, who availed themselves of the 
 medium of the local journals to propagate the grossest 
 mis-statements and cowardly innuendoes, for the purpose 
 of crushing in its infancy the undertaking, by which the 
 publishers were impeded in their labours, and subjected 
 to considerable personal inconvenience and expense in 
 order to satisfy the public and proceed with the work. 
 It is needless to recapitulate the whole charges so un- 
 justly laid to the account of the publishers ; but it may 
 not be amiss to state, that one question, which was most 
 strongly insisted on, was, that the residence of the 
 publishers, 284, Strand, was merely a fictitious place of 
 abode ; and it was even asserted, in contradiction to the 
 name of the firm, which is actually affixed to the 
 premises, that they were tenanted by other persons, of 
 other name, and of different occupation. These doubts, 
 however, were satisfactorily removed by the publishers 
 producing letters from the landlord of the premises, 
 with the receipts paid for rent up to the time of the 
 accusation ; and the parties who had so industriously 
 calumniated the firm were compelled, under the threat
 
 VI PREFACE. 
 
 of legal proceedings, to acknowledge their error, and 
 retract their groundless assertions. Justice at the same 
 time compels the publishers to acknowledge, that the 
 editors of the Canterbury journals made the amende 
 honorable, with which they feel satisfied. The parties 
 implicated in this design to beat down the work, were 
 not content with what they did through the press ; but, 
 even after an apology had been made by an individual 
 concerned in circulating these calumnies to one of the 
 firm, and after the observation made in a Canterbury 
 paper, " that enough had been said about the matter," 
 the same spirit still actuated these selfish and interested 
 worthies, and, up to the present time, they have not 
 ceased to propagate their slanders, and thereby endea- 
 voured to prevent the publication of the work. 
 
 The appearance of the volume is, however, a satis- 
 factory refutation of every calumny ; and it is, therefore, 
 with inexpressible pleasure, that the publishers lay before 
 the inhabitants of this city the '' Topographical History 
 and Directory of Canterbury, Faversham, Herne Bay," 
 cSrc.

 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 CANTERBURY. 
 
 THE CITY OP CANTERBURY 
 
 Is situated in the eastern division of the county of 
 Kent, in the Lathe of St. Augustine, 56 miles distant 
 from London, 16 from Dover, and 7 from the sea- 
 coast. By the ancient Britons before the invasion of 
 Julius Caesar, it was called Durwhern, according to 
 the authority of Geoffrey of Monmouth ; the meaning 
 of which is, a swift river: the word Dour or Dur 
 signifying water, and the terminational part being ex- 
 pressive of rapidity. This term was afterwards latinized 
 by the Romans into Durovernum. The name of Can- 
 terbury at the present time owes its origin to the 
 Saxons. By them the county of Kent was styled 
 Cant-guar-lantd, or the country of the Kentish men, 
 and the city was styled Cant-wara-byrig, the city of 
 the men of Kent. This name was subsequently latin- 
 ized to Cantuaria, or, anglicised, Canterbury, which 
 name it has borne since the period of the Norman 
 Conquest. It is probable that it is of the remotest 
 antiquity, from its original Celtic name. The Venerable 
 Bede informs us that at the time of the Saxon Heptarchy
 
 2 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 it was a royal residence ; and so remained, the seat of 
 the Saxon monarchs, till A.D. 596, when Ethelbert, 
 King of the East Saxons, having embraced the Christian 
 religion, gave his palace to Saint Augustine for a resi- 
 dence, and retired with his court to Reculver. 
 
 The city stands on nearly the same spot on which 
 it was originally built, which is evident from the remains 
 at various periods discovered. According to Somner, 
 Roman bricks, tesselated pavements, vases, lachryma- 
 tories, and personal ornaments, have been found about 
 six to nine feet beneath the surface of the ground. At 
 what period it was walled is not certain, but that it 
 was enclosed in the time of the Anglo-Saxons is evident, 
 from mention being made of the wall prior to the Nor- 
 man Conquest. In the reign of Richard I. the city 
 was encircled with a wall and ditch, the space over the 
 river between the postern and the waterlock near North- 
 gate being left open. On the walls were erected twenty- 
 one turrets, placed at equal distances, five or six of 
 which only are left, and these, together with the walls, 
 are now in a decayed condition. The walls measured 
 six feet in thickness, and were composed of large masses 
 of chalk cemented with a strong mortar, and lined and 
 faced with flint, excepting in the direction of Northgate 
 and Westgate ; that part being faced with square stones. 
 The ditch that surrounded the walls was originally one 
 hundred and fifty feet wide ; the greater part of it, at 
 the present time, is built upon, or converted into 
 gardens. 
 
 The number of gates was originally six : Burgate, 
 formerly called Boroughgate, or St. Michael's Gate, was, 
 in 1781, so much decayed that it was entirely re- 
 moved, to improve the street to which it gave name.
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 3 
 
 St. George's Gate, or as it was sometimes termed, New- 
 ingate, and originally Otehill-gate, was situated at the 
 top of St. George's-street, and was pulled down a few 
 years since, in order to widen the entrance into the city 
 from Dover. Ridingate, anciently Radingate, or Ri- 
 der's Gate, was that by which lay the military road of 
 the Romans, between Dover and this city. This gate 
 was taken down in 1782 ; and in 1791> a spacious gothic 
 arch of brick, coped with stone, was erected in its stead. 
 Wincheap Gate, situated near the old Castle, was taken 
 down some years since, to make the street more suitable 
 for public accommodation ; on each side the wall where 
 it stood are the words " Welcome," and " Farewell," 
 addressed to strangers entering or leaving- the city. 
 North-gate was merely an opening under the old church 
 of St. Mary Northgate. It was taken down a few years 
 since, when the church of St. Mary was re-built. West- 
 gate, the only one remaining at the present day, was 
 re-erected in the reign of the second Richard, by 
 Archbishop Sudbury. This gate is situated at the 
 west end of the city, and being the road to London, 
 was the largest of the city portals, and presents an 
 imposing appearance, being flanked by two lofty and 
 spacious round towers, erected on the eastern side of 
 the river. It is built of square stones, and embattled, 
 portcullised, and machecollated, and is connected with 
 the western side of the Stour by a bridge erected by 
 Archbishop Sudbury. Over this gate is the city gaol, 
 both for malefactors and debtors, having been so applied 
 ever since the time of its erection. 
 
 The city is pleasantly situated in a valley surrounded 
 by hills, from which rise several fine springs of water ; 
 besides these, the river Stour runs through it, the 
 B -2
 
 4 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 streams of which often separate and again meet, forming- 
 islands; thus contributing- to fertilize the land in its 
 vicinity. From whatever point the city is viewed, its 
 appearance is highly picturesque ; the eye, wandering in 
 succession over the magnificent central tower of the 
 venerable cathedral, the western towers of the same 
 edifice, the ruins of St. Augustine's monastery, the 
 lesser spires of the churches, and the western gate of 
 the city, lastly directs its gaze to the verdant hilis sur- 
 rounding 1 the whole : all of which form a prospect 
 equalling the expectations of the most sanguine admirer 
 of topographical beauty. The city is of an oval shape, 
 and comprises within its wall, about half a mile from 
 east to west, and somewhat more from north to south. 
 The wall extends in circumference to about a mile and 
 three quarters. 
 
 Great improvements have been made in the general 
 appearance of this city within the last few years ; it is 
 now well paved, furnished with a good supply of water 
 from the river Stour, and an efficient police has been 
 established. 
 
 The neighbourhood of Canterbury is chiefly planted 
 with hops, which form a great source of wealth to the 
 owners of land, as many hundred acres are so cultivated : 
 these plantations afford employment to great numbers 
 of the labouring poor, both men and women. 
 
 The chief manufacture carried on in Canterbury is 
 that of silk-weaving ; this trade has, however, of late 
 considerably declined, not only from the quantity of silk 
 manufactured in Spitalfields, but from the manufacture 
 of an intermixture of silk and cotton, Called Chambery 
 muslin, introduced in 1789, by the late Mr. John 
 Callaway ; besides these, there is a manufactory of parch-
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 5 
 
 ment, for which this city is famed, a slight one of 
 worsted, and that delicious article, brawn, the quantity 
 of which made in this city being very considerable. 
 
 The population of Canterbury, in 1831, including 
 the suburbs and portions of parishes within the liberties 
 of the city, amounted to 15,373 inhabitants, the number 
 of houses at that time was 266 1 . The boundaries of the 
 city and liberties contained, by survey, 3,784|- acres 
 of land. 
 
 Canterbury returns two members to Parliament : the 
 suffrage has been extended to the 101. householders. 
 
 CIVIL HISTORY. 
 
 THE earliest mention made of Canterbury is found in 
 Ptolemy's Geography of Britain x who lived under Trajan, 
 and several following Roman emperors. He states that 
 in the most eastern parts of Britain are the Cantri, and 
 enumerates the towns, among which is named Darue- 
 num, or Canterbury. Some entertain an opinion that 
 Canterbury was taken by Julius Caesar the morning after 
 his second arrival, and was afterwards converted into a 
 Roman station. 
 
 In 851 and 1009, Canterbury suffered severely from 
 the ravages of the Danes: at the latter of these periods, 
 the inhabitants were induced to purchase a peace from 
 their merciless invaders at the enormous price of 30,0007. 
 Two years after, these piratical hordes laid siege to the 
 city, which, having captured, they almost wholly de- 
 stroyed, except the monastery of St. Augustine, leaving, 
 out of 8000 inhabitants, only four monks and about 
 800 citizens.
 
 6 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 About the year 754, the city was much damaged by a 
 conflagration ; again in 776, 918, and 1011. Notwith- 
 standing these calamities, it is stated by antiquarians 
 to have exceeded London, in the number of its buildings, 
 at the period of the Norman Conquest. 
 
 In 1070, the cathedral suffered by tire. In 1161, the 
 city was consumed by the same destructive element. In 
 1174, most of the churches, together with the greatest 
 part of the city, were consumed by fire. In 1180 and 
 1247, Canterbury was again reduced to ashes. Not- 
 withstanding these repeated misfortunes, through the 
 favour of successive kings, particularly a statute of the 
 27th of Edward III. appointing the staple of wool ; as 
 well as the patronage of the various archbishops, who 
 fixed their residence here ; the celebrity acquired by the 
 shrine of Becket in the cathedral, to which thousands 
 of pilgrims of all ranks repaired to offer their oblations ; 
 and the frequent meetings] of kings and princes here, 
 contributed to enable Canterbury to recover from the 
 effects of these calamities, and to increase its splendour. 
 
 In 1129, Henry I. held his Court here. 
 
 In 1 189, William, King of Scotland, was received here 
 by Richard I., when he made homage to the English 
 King, and received his favour. 
 
 In 1204, King John, and in 1263, Henry III., here 
 celebrated the festival of Christmas with an unusual 
 degree of solemnity. 
 
 In the 22nd year of Edward III., A. D. 1347, a famous 
 tournament was held in this city, which is described by 
 Dugdale as having been conducted with great splendour. 
 In 1413, Henry V. visited the city. In 1445, the 
 Queen of the succeeding Henry paid devotion at the 
 shrine of Becket, on which occasion she was presented
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 7 
 
 at Harbledown with 21L by the bailiffs. In 1450,, the 
 latter Henry was at Canterbury. In 1483, Richard III. 
 visited the city. 
 
 The city continued in prosperity until the storm of 
 the Reformation fell on its ecclesiastical institutions and 
 caused the dissolution of the religious houses ; when the 
 removal of Becket's shrine occasioning a decrease in the 
 inhabitants, the city fell into decay. It remained in this 
 unprosperous state till towards the close of the reign of 
 Edward VI., when the persecution of the Protestants, 
 both in Brabant and Flanders, continuing throughout 
 France, obliged them to seek shelter in other countries. 
 These emigrants were called Walloons, and the trade 
 they established at Canterbury wasthat of silk weaving: 
 the number of their descendants has much decreased of 
 late years. 
 
 In 1649, the King's Arms at the Guildhall door were 
 taken down, and those of the Commonwealth substituted. 
 In 1651 a dinner was given to Cromwell, who in 1656 
 was proclaimed with drums and trumpets ; three years 
 afterwards Charles II. visited the city, taking up his 
 abode for some time at St. Augustine's, when he was 
 presented with a gold cup, value 200L, as a token of 
 loyalty and grateful respect. 
 
 Canterbury gives the title of baron to the Right 
 Honorable Charles Manners Sutton, the late Speaker of 
 the House of Commons and son of Dr. Sutton, the pre- 
 decessor of the present Archbishop of Canterbury. He 
 was created a baron in 1835.
 
 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 CIVIL GOVERNMENT. 
 
 CANTERBURY being part of the lands or possessions 
 of the Kings of Kent, was under the control of a keeper 
 appointed by the King, and called the King's prefect, or 
 provost. It became an incorporated city in the reign 
 of Henry II., when that monarch granted it a charter 
 with the addition of certain privileges. In 1234, 
 Henry III. taxed it at a fee-farm rent of 60. to be paid 
 by the citizens to the exchequer, and granted to them 
 power to choose two bailiffs, with a right of holding 
 pleas, and to hold a burghmote once in fifteen days, to 
 be assembled by the sound of the horn. In 1317, a seal 
 was granted by Edward II. In 1400, the bailiffs re- 
 ceived from Henry IV. power to hold pleas in all actions 
 within the city. The government of the city continued 
 without any change until 1448. when Henry VI. re- 
 moved the bailiffs, and granted to the citizens a charter, 
 with power to choose, on the 14th of September, the 
 Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, a mayor. 
 The court under this charter consisted of a mayor, six 
 jurats, and thirty-six common-councilmen as under the 
 bailiffs, with power to elect a coroner and sheriff. In 
 1461, Edward IV. chartered the city as a county of 
 itself. In 1498, it received a new charter from Henry 
 VII., who increased the number of aldermen to twelve, 
 and reduced the common council to twenty-four. In 
 1609, James I. granted a charter, confirming all the 
 former privileges of the corporation, and added the office 
 of recorder. By the Municipal Reform Act in 1835, 
 all the previous charters were abrogated, and the city is 
 now divided into three wards, and incorporated under
 
 OP CANTERBURY. SJ 
 
 the title of " The Mayor and Commonalty of the City 
 of Canterbury," and consists of a mayor, six aldermen, 
 eighteen common-councilmen, a recorder, a sheriff and 
 coroner, a treasurer, town clerk, with other inferior 
 officers. 
 
 The Wards into which the city is divided are, Dane 
 John Ward, returning- three aldermen and six coun- 
 cillors ; Northgate Ward, returning- one alderman and 
 six councillors ; Westgate Ward, returning- two alder- 
 men and six councillors. 
 
 The Quarter Sessions for the city are held, for 1838, 
 on the 1st of January, 5th of April, 2nd of July, and 
 18th of October. The Petty Sessions are held at the 
 Guildhall, every Thursday forenoon. The monthly 
 meetings take place on the first Monday in every month. 
 The Sitting Magistrates, consisting- of the mayor and 
 another, sit at the Guildhall every Monday and Thurs- 
 day forenoon. The Court of Requests is held at the 
 Guildhall ; the Commissioners, appointed under the Act 
 25th of Georg-e II. for the recovery of debts under forty 
 shillings, sit every Thursday at ten in the forenoon; 
 three form a court ; the jurisdiction of which extends 
 over all parishes within the jurisdiction of the city and 
 borough. The Commissioners of Pavements under the 
 Act of 1787, meet every three weeks ; nine form a court. 
 
 The streets are numerous, and for the most part 
 spacious and well paved. The houses are generally 
 respectable in appearance, and many of the shops ele- 
 gantly fitted up. On the north- side of the High Street 
 is Mercery Lane, anciently denominated La Mercerie, 
 supposed to have derived its name from this traffic 
 having been carried on in it. The houses here are of 
 greater antiquity than any others in the city: they were 
 B 3
 
 10 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 built with stories projecting over one another,so as almost 
 to meet at the top. Of late years they have undergone 
 considerable alterations, and the shops are handsomely 
 decorated and newly fronted. 
 
 There are several public roads to different parts, 
 passing through the city; these have lately undergone 
 considerable improvements ; the most important of them 
 is the road from London to Dover, which passes now 
 through the city in a straight line, thereby avoiding the 
 circuitous route occasioned by the situation of the Old 
 Dover Road. The road to Ashford is through Castle 
 Street and Wincheap, and beyond Wincheap a new and 
 more direct road has been cut : the road from the Isle 
 of Thanet to Ashford will, in the course of a few years, 
 be very much shortened, in consequence of the improve- 
 ments made at the suggestion of R. Frend, Esq., a few 
 years ago, in Pound Lane, by making the road in that 
 part, which was only sufficient for one carriage to pass, 
 wide enough for the passage of two ; a new street, called 
 St. Peter's Place, has been built by the side of Holy 
 Cross Church, Westgate, in the direction of Wincheap, 
 and similar improvements are being made in that quarter ; 
 so that there will be a direct road from the Isle of 
 Thanet through Pound Lane, crossing the High Street, 
 by Westgate, through St. Peter's Place to Wincheap ; 
 thereby avoiding the passing over the city stones. The 
 road from the city to the Isle of Thanet and Herne 
 Bay has been shortened and very much improved by 
 the construction of Guildhall Street, and thereby avoid- 
 ing Sun Street and Mercery Lane. The road to Sand- 
 wich and Deal is through Burgate Street, St. Paul's, 
 Longport, by St. Martin's Hill. The road to Whit- 
 stable is through St. Dunstan's.
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 11 
 
 The suburbs are, the suburb of St. Dunstan's on the 
 west ; that of Wincheap on the south ; St. George's on 
 the east ; and Northgate on the north of the city. The 
 first, St. Dunstan's, is composed of old brick buildings 
 with projecting fronts, which give the place an antique 
 appearance. The foot-path of the principal street, which 
 was paved in some places with brick, and in others with 
 pebbles, has been lately partially repaired with stone : 
 the Commissioners, acting under a contract to lay down 
 a pavement of a specified width, have paved the outside 
 of the path to the curb, and left the other half, the inner 
 part, for the inhabitants to pave, each tenant his own, 
 with gravel, pebbles, bricks, sand, or whatever his fancy 
 may lead him to employ ; it is to be hoped that the 
 principal entrance to the city will not long remain in 
 such a wretched condition. A new town near St. 
 Dunstan's church, is rapidly progressing. The suburb 
 of Wincheap contains many very respectable houses, 
 though not so numerous. In this suburb was the 
 ancient hospital of St. James, sometimes called St. 
 Jacob's, of ancient foundation, and suppressed by Edward 
 VI. ; portions of the walls only remain. North of this 
 suburb, and opposite the Dane John, is the Martyr 
 Field, called so from its being the place in which were 
 burnt in a large hole, now a ditch, many of the victims 
 of religious fanaticism at the time of the Reformation. 
 Near here was also an ancient mansion, called the 
 Dungeon House, or Coventry House. The suburb of 
 St. George's is of greater extent; it includes St. Sepul- 
 chre's, the borough of Longport, and the manor of 
 Barton ; it contains many handsomely-built mansions, 
 and has been greatly improved by a row of elegant and 
 well-built houses in St. George's Place, the commence-
 
 12 TOPOGKAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 ment of the New Dover Road. In the Old Dover Road 
 are the remains of St. Lawrence House, or hospital, 
 built in the reign of Stephen, by one of the abbots of 
 St. Augustine's Monastery; it was abolished in the 
 time of Mary, on the pier of an old gateway is a half- 
 obliterated representation of St. Lawrence on a gridiron, 
 attended by two men. Near Longport, in Chantry 
 Lane, was a religious foundation, called Doge's Chantry, 
 built by one Hamon Doge, in 1264. The last suburb 
 is that of Northgate, without the walls ; the houses are 
 numerous, but of an inferior description, being occupied 
 chiefly by the poorer classes ; near the city wall, in 
 Duck Lane, there is a spring called St. Radigund'sBath. 
 
 BOROUGHS, MANORS, &c. 
 
 Staplegate is a small borough or district adjacent to 
 Northgate, and so named, as is conjectured by some, 
 from its being the residence of one Edmund de Stable- 
 gate. It is supposed to be the spot upon which Augus- 
 tine was first received by King Ethelbert, who enfran- 
 chised it, and it then became a place of refuge, or 
 sanctuary, for malefactors even after indictment. It is 
 now occupied chiefly by the cottages of the poor. 
 
 Longport is a borough and manor, sometimes called 
 the manor of Barton, and belonged to the abbots of St. 
 Augustine. The manor-house is situate on the south 
 side of the road, and now the property of the widow of 
 William Hougham, Esq.; appertaining to this manor is 
 a park, extending to the park of Trendele, near Ford- 
 wich. Little Barton is a manor a short distance north- 
 ward from the city, and belonged to the priory of Christ-
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 
 
 church in 832. It is now private property. Morton, 
 or Dodingdale, is a manor situated south-east of the 
 city, in the parish of St. Mary Bredin; it belonged to 
 the Dodingdale family, from whom it passed into pos- 
 session of several others, and ultimately to William 
 Hammond, its present owner. Dungeon Manor, or Dean 
 John Farm, near the Dane John, was anciently the pro- 
 perty of the Chiche family ; its present possessor is 
 George Henry Lee Warner. The manor-house was 
 called Coventry House. Stuppington Manor also 
 belonged to the Chiche family, is situate near the last- 
 mentioned, and is now in the possession of Mr. Joseph 
 Royle. Caldecot Manor is east of Longport ; belonged, 
 at the time of William the Conqueror, to the see of 
 Canterbury, and is now held by the dean and chapter, 
 having been granted to them by Henry VIII. The 
 Manor of the Moat, situate near the latter, belonged, 
 in the reign of Henry III., to Stephen de Wyke ; it is 
 now in the possession of the family of Earl Cowper, but 
 is not known as a manor; the manor-house has long 
 since been destroyed. 
 
 THE RIVER STOUR 
 
 WAS called jEstura, Mstur, and Stur ; in 686 it was 
 called Stour, a name which it has since retained. It 
 rises near Ashford, and proceeds by Wye and Chartham 
 to Canterbury, where it divides, and forming numerous 
 islands, unites again into two streams not far from each 
 other; one of these runs under King's Bridge, and the 
 other under the bridge at Westgate ; these proceed on 
 to Barton, a little below which they unite, and proceed 
 in one stream by Fordwich and Sturry into the sea at
 
 14 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 Sandwich. It is called in all ancient records the King's 
 River, and became the property of the City of Canterbury 
 under the charter of Henry III., since which time it 
 has been let out in various parts for fishing, by the 
 mayor and commonalty. Numerous attempts have been 
 made to render the river navigable, towards which 
 object large sums have been applied from time to time 
 by the corporation, aided by private benefactions. In 
 1786 an attempt was made to form a canal from St. 
 Nicholas' Bay to Canterbury ; this was undertaken by 
 Mr. Alderman Simmons, who employed a Mr. R. Whit- 
 worth, an engineer, who was assisted by Mr. Rennie 
 and another, to take levels, and who at length reported, 
 that a canal might be made sufficient to navigate vessels 
 drawing eight feet of water, and that twenty-one vessels 
 might go up and down in a week. Great interest was 
 taken in the undertaking by many wealthy men, and a 
 company was formed, but dissolved in 1824 by the 
 difference of opinion among its members. In 1825 
 another attempt was made to render the river navigable 
 from Sandwich to Canterbury ; shares to the amc*unt of 
 85,OOOZ. were taken up, but the difficulties that would 
 have attended the undertaking, and the introduction of 
 the Railway Company, caused it to fall. 
 
 The mills on the Stour near Canterbury are of very 
 ancient date, and chiefly belonged to the ancient religious 
 establishments in this city; those at present existing 
 are, the Kyngesmelle, or Kingsmill at Eastbridge ; 
 Westgate Mill; Ablofs Mill; Dean's Mill, called in 
 1189 Shepeshotes Meln, and afterwards Shafford'sMill; 
 and Barton Mill on the Sturry road ; besides these, 
 others have been more subsequently erected in various 
 parts of the stream.

 THE CASTLE 
 
 Is situated at Wincheap, near St. Mildred's church- 
 yard ; it is supposed to have been a fortress, or keep, 
 built by William the Conqueror, coeval with many 
 others which he erected, in order the more effectually to 
 maintain the kingdom under his authority and dominion; 
 though, according to Domesday survey, a castle was in 
 existence prior to the arrival of the Conqueror, but the 
 present structure does not appear to be of earlier date 
 than the Norman Conquest. It is a quadrangular build- 
 ing, or rather the walls of a quadrangular building, 
 being completely open from the ground to the roof, 
 are composed of rubble interspersed with Roman bricks, 
 and are eleven feet thick ; the length of the whole is 
 eighty, and the width fifty feet. From the remains 
 presented to us, it must have been at one time a hand- 
 some structure. In the windows, or apertures where the 
 windows once were, are remains of stone copings, or 
 quoins cased with ashlar stone, and in several parts of 
 the walls there are remains of winding staircases ascend- 
 ing to the top, and which appear to be well constructed. 
 The whole was surrounded by a bayle, or yard, called a 
 ballium ; without which was a ditch. On the south 
 side, the city wall forms part of the wall of the castle, 
 and the entrance to the castle-yard was by the old 
 Roman gateway, called Worthgate, long since removed. 
 At the time of Edward II. it was a common jail, and 
 assizes were held here in the years 1565, 1569, and 
 1597 ; since then it has been suffered to fall to decay, and 
 now, though decayed, it is, from the height of the walls, 
 their extent, and their extraordinary thickness, a glo- 
 rious remnant of a once noble fortress ; it is now private 
 property, and used as a depository by the Gas Company.
 
 16 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 THE PRECINCTS OF THE CATHEDRAL AND THE 
 ARCHBISHOPS PALACE 
 
 ARE situated in the north-east part of the city, and 
 occupy about one-seventh part of the ground within the 
 walls ; bounded on the west by the wall of the Arch- 
 bishop's Palace, on the south by Burgate-street, at the 
 east, north-east, and the north by the city walls. The 
 principal part of this space is taken up by the precincts 
 of the Cathedral, which occupy the south-west ; the re- 
 mainder, to the north, being occupied by those of the 
 Palace and the King's School. These precincts are 
 bounded by a wall independently of the city wall, so as 
 to cut off all communication from without whenever it 
 was desired. The principal entrance to the precincts of 
 the Cathedral is the gate opposite Mercery-Lane, and 
 called Church Gate : it is a very beautiful structure in 
 the pointed style, and profusely ornamented with angels 
 bearing shields, small niches, armorial bearings, mitres, 
 coronets, and the emblems of the Tudors Roses. There 
 are two octagonal towers, one on either side of the gate- 
 way, over the cornice of which is an inscription, from 
 which we learn that the gate was erected in 1517. The 
 whole is built of free-stone, and the exterior ornaments 
 have suffered much from the action of the weather. The 
 space within this gate was formerly used as a cemetery, 
 and is still called the churchyard, though there are no 
 traces of tombs, and the whole is gravelled over. Near the 
 east transept stand the remains of the Cemetery Gate 
 which, with a wall attached, was the eastern boundary 
 of the churchyard and the entrance from The Oaks ; 
 it presents a beautiful Norman arch, ornamented with a
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 17 
 
 zig-zag moulding ; a fissure in the centre, and its slender 
 and isolated state, are quite indicative of its inability to 
 withstand much longer the brunt of time. Passing 
 through this gate, we enter the Convent garden, or 
 The Oaks, called so from the rows of noble and stately 
 oak trees that stand there. It was a cemetery, called 
 the lesser cemetery. On the east side of this piece of 
 ground stands the house of the vice Dean, and at the 
 north, the remains of the Priory. Leading from The 
 Oaks is a passage called The Brick Walk, at the end 
 of which is the residence of the sixth prebend. On the 
 right of this walk, and north-t ast of the Cathedral, is an 
 ancient stone mansion called the Maister Honours, from 
 its being formerly the great state chamber of the Prior 
 of the Convent, and the one in which he entertained his 
 guests ; it is now the residence of the eleventh prebend. 
 On the left of this walk is a small door-way, and over 
 it is a much decayed figure of a man, described by 
 Somner as holding in his hand a scroll with the words 
 " Ecce me Major" inscribed thereon ; this inscription, 
 scroll, and all, are now quite obliterated. Opposite the 
 west end of the Maister Honours is a large gothic window 
 that appears to have been divided into four lights or 
 upright divisions, but now quite blocked up, and forms 
 part of the residence of the first prebendary ; this 
 belonged to the Chapel of the Infirmary : this Chapel 
 formed part of the range of buildings built by Cuthbert, 
 by permission of Eadbald, King of Kent, in 741 ; it was 
 dedicated to John the Baptist. Its high antiquity is 
 proved by the existence of large circular arches, now 
 filled up, supported by pillars, the capitals of which 
 exhibit rude designs of animals. It is now an open space 
 or court ; on the right, or north side, is the garden wall
 
 18 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 of the sixth prebendary's residence, and adjoining is the 
 prebendal-house, formerly the hall of the Infirmary, and 
 on the opposite side are the pillars first mentioned, which 
 being filled up, form part of the first prebendary's house, 
 and the residences of some of the minor canons ; and 
 further on, on the same side of the court, are four mas- 
 sive Norman pillars supporting circular arches, but not 
 ornamented ; they formed part of the Infirmary attached 
 to the chapel. These arches are now walled up : this 
 Chapel and Infirmary are supposed to have been burnt. 
 Westward of this court is what is called The Dark 
 Entry ; on the right is an entrance to the Cloisters, and 
 to the left a passage into the Green Court ; at the end 
 of this passage is the Priory Gate or Porter's Gate, 
 being the north-west entrance to the priory ; it is sup- 
 posed, from the style of the arch, to have been built by 
 Lanfranc : the passage is long, narrow, and dark ; the 
 outer gateway is lofty, and between the two arches is a 
 a porch ; the inner arch is small and low. The Green 
 Court is a large open square, surrounded with buildings ; 
 it was the court of the priory. On the east side of it is 
 The Deanery, formerly the dwelling of the Prior; it is a 
 large handsome buildingwith a court-yard in front. Just 
 within the gate of this yard, and adjoining the eastern 
 side of the dark entry, are two towers with Newel stair- 
 cases : the steps are of solid stone, and derive no support 
 but from the geometrical precision and accuracy with 
 which they are placed one upon another. Between these 
 towers was situated the kitchen of the Priory : the-north 
 tower is about thirty feet high, and the entrance to the 
 staircase is by a small Norman arch. In the south tower, 
 the staircase is removed. On the opposite, or south 
 side of this tower, is a door-way leading to the Library.
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 19 
 
 The Deanery is the residence of the Archbishop when 
 in Canterbury : the apartments are spacious and hand- 
 some; the great drawing-room contains many portraits. 
 The Priory occupied the whole of the south side of the 
 quadrangle, stretching from east to west ; little remains 
 are now left. There is still Standing, at the north-west 
 end, a gate called the Larder Gate, through which is 
 a passage and a flight of steps leading to the ruins of the 
 Convent ; adjoining these is the Chapter or Sermon 
 House, to which the congregation repaired after prayers 
 in the body of the Church ; it is a handsome building 
 ninety-two feet long, 37 broad, and fifty-four high, and 
 was built by Archbishops Courteney and Arundel in the 
 time of Richard II., as appears from the armorial bear- 
 ings in different parts of the buildings ; the ceiling- is 
 composed of squares or panels of Irish oak, twelve in 
 the length and seven in the breadth, ornamented with 
 escutcheons and flower-work, painted, carved, and gilt ; 
 the room is divided into arches or stalls separated one 
 from another by pillars of Sussex marble, and having 
 above them pyramids of stone, ornamented and gilt ; at 
 the east end is a window of the breadth and height of the 
 building ; in the upper lights are figures of Cherubim, 
 Seraphim, Angelii, in coloured glass. Henry II., after 
 travelling from Normandy to do penance at the shrine 
 of St. Thomas a Becket, and walking barefoot through 
 the streets for three miles, summoned the monks in this 
 building and submitted to be scourged by them. When the 
 fraternity of monks was abolished, this place was fitted up 
 with a pulpit and pews, as a sermon-house ; this use of it 
 beingattendedwithinconvenience, the service was removed 
 and the building used as necessity required. Between 
 this building and the Larder-gate, extending from east
 
 20 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 to west, are the remains of the Dortors, or Dormitories, 
 where the monks of the priory dwelt : they were built 
 by Lanfranc, over ancient vaults, as was nearly the 
 whole of the priory. There were two dortors, inclosing 
 a space of one hundred and five feet north to south, and 
 seventy-five from east to west : at the west end of one 
 of them are the remains of a wall, in which are windows 
 in the Norman style ; the lesser dortor was towards the 
 east, and the site is now occupied by the residences of 
 some of the minor canons. To the right of the passage 
 leading from the Larder-gate to the Chapter-house, 
 stands the Baptistry: it is a circular building with a 
 roof in the form of a cupola, underneath which is a vault 
 raised on stone pillars, in the centre from which proceed 
 ribs to an outer circle of pillars ; the arch, which is 
 Norman, is beautifully ornamented. On the north side 
 of the quadrangle is the Domus Hospitum, or Stranger's 
 Hall, being the place in which poor pilgrims were enter- 
 tained ; it was one hundred and fifty feet long and forty 
 feet bro adand used to be designated the hog-hall. In 
 the north-east corner of the Green-court is the great 
 gate of this hall, leading into a stable formerly a portion 
 of Newingate-lane. West of the Domus Hospitum is 
 the Almonry, or Mint-yard, where the fragments of 
 meat and drink from the large table in the convent were 
 distributed among the poor. After Henry VIII. had 
 expelled the monks, he converted this place into a mint 
 for the coining of money; the chapel and premises 
 appertaining were afterwards given by Mary to Cardinal 
 Pole, and in 1559, they were transferred to the Dean 
 and Chapter for the use of the school founded by Henry 
 VIII., now known as the King's School; close to which 
 is the Porta Prioratus* or, as it is now called, the
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 21 
 
 Green Court Gate. It is a handsome structure, having 
 a large Norman arch, within which is a pointed arch of 
 much later date : the style of the ornaments gives it 
 an appearance of great antiquity, though it is in a good 
 state of preservation. On the west side of the qua- 
 drangle is a wall enclosing a garden, belonging to the 
 surveyor of the cathedral; on this spot, near the dor- 
 mitories, stood the Fraler Hall, now completely demo- 
 lished. The Cloister, says Gosling, is a square building 
 curiously arched with stone. On the west side was a 
 communication to the cellarer's lodgings. On the 
 north side are two very handsome arched doorways, one 
 of which seems to have opened into the vaults under 
 the refectory : the other was the way from the pentice 
 gate into the church. All the arches are of the same 
 breadth, and supported by little pillars, from the capitals 
 of each of which spring fifteen ribs : these are adorned 
 at the intersections by about six hundred and eighty- 
 three escutcheons, bearing the arms of benefactors to the 
 church, from which we learn that the establishment had 
 been pretty well provided for. The north wall is the 
 remain of a former cloister, and is ornamented with a 
 range of stalls, every fifth of which is divided from the 
 others by a wall ; these were the seats of the monks. 
 The east wall had several openings; one of them led 
 to the western gallery of the dortors, and is now walled 
 up ; another to the dark entry ; a third to the chapter- 
 house ; and one at the south end, before mentioned as 
 leading into the north wing of the western transept. 
 The cloister is in a very dilapidated condition, and is 
 employed as a depository for the store used in re-building 
 the Arundel steeple. 
 
 The Precincts of the Archbishop's Palace occupy but
 
 22 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 a small portion of ground, compared with the precincts 
 of Christchurch. The great gate, or principal entrance, 
 is situated in the west side. The wall extended south- 
 ward to Christchurch-gate, and northward till it met 
 the great gate of the Green-court. A palace existed 
 here previous to Augustine and his followers coming, 
 and was given up to that monk by Ethelbert, when he 
 retired to Reculver. It was destroyed by the Danes 
 in 1011, and was repaired by Lanfranc. Hubert after- 
 wards pulled great part of it down, but state affairs 
 prevented him from completing its rebuilding : it was 
 finished, however, by Langton, and beautified by Boniface. 
 In the grand hall, feasts and banquets were frequent, 
 raonarchs and prelates revelled here in splendour. In 
 1299, the nuptial feast of Edward I. was kept in this 
 hall, and here also Charles the Fifth danced with the 
 English queen, and her consort, Henry VIII., with 
 Catherine of Arragon. In 1573, Elizabeth partook of 
 a repast prepared by the archbishop in this palace. The 
 great hall was pulled down in the reign of Charles II., 
 and the materials sold. The spirit of demolition has been 
 carried on from that time to the present ; so that, of this 
 once stately palace, we have nothing but ruined walls. 
 The site is used as a timber-yard. 
 
 THE CATHEDRAL 
 
 Is a magnificent and noble pile, interesting from its 
 historical associations and splendour, and for the admir- 
 able ingenuity displayed in the construction of its 
 different parts. It embraces every variety in the styles 
 of English ecclesiastical architecture, from the rudest
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 23 
 
 Saxon to the most finished triumphs of Gothic art. 
 Yet the general effect of the exterior, notwithstanding 
 the different ages in which it was erected, is harmonious, 
 and the whole mass of this splendid edifice presents a 
 most imposing and impressive effect. The interior is 
 still more stiking : the lofty vaulted nave, 
 
 " Whose ancient pillars rear their marble heads, 
 
 " Bearing aloft the arch'd and pond'rous roof, 
 
 " By its own weight made steadfast and itnmoveable ;" 
 
 the long vista of the aisles ; the simple magnificence, 
 and vast extent of the Anglo-Norman choir ; and the 
 rich effect of the stained glass of the windows, filled with 
 the records of prophets, saints, and martyrs, and embel- 
 lished with heraldic emblazonings of princes, priests, and 
 nobles benefactors to the church, cannot fail to produce 
 in the mind of an intelligent beholder, impressions of 
 the most exalted and sublime nature. 
 
 The history of this splendid building is closely con- 
 nected with the history of our country, for almost every 
 historical production relating to the annals, abounds in 
 statements referring to this edifice, and the prelates 
 connected with it ; this is sufficiently accounted for by 
 its always ranking as the metropolitan Church of Eng- 
 land. It may suffice to state, that since the erection 
 of Canterbury into a see, out of ninety archbishops, 
 eighteen have been canonized ; nine elevated to the 
 dignity of Cardinals ; twelve appointed Lords Chancellors 
 of England; four Lords Treasurers; one Lord Chief 
 Justice ; and nine to the office of Chancellors of the 
 University of Oxford : among these may be mentioned 
 the celebrated Dunstan, Stigand, Lanfranc, Thomas a 
 Becket, Stephen Langton, Cranmer, and Laud.
 
 24 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 It has been conjectured that a Christian Church stood 
 on the site of the present cathedral of Canterbury during 
 the time that Britain was under the dominion of the 
 Romans, and was frequented by such of the soldiery as 
 had embraced the tenets of the early believers ; and that 
 Augustine on his arrival found such an edifice standing 
 near the palace of King Ethelbert ; the same being 
 included in that monarch's gift to this ecclesiastical 
 missionary : this opinion is founded on existing docu- 
 ments relating to the priory of Christchurch. However 
 this may be, it is certain that Ethelbert, the King of the 
 East Saxons, having become a convert to the Christian 
 religion by the preaching of Augustine, gave him his 
 royal palace, which this ecclesiastic converted into a 
 cathedral and monastery, and having been consecrated 
 a bishop, commenced his episcopal functions by dedi- 
 cating the same to the honour of Christ the Saviour, 
 whence it obtained the name of ' Christchurch.' 
 
 For three hundred years after the consecration of this 
 fabric, nothing material is recorded of it, except that the 
 revenues had gradually increased by the successive dona- 
 tions of princes and nobles. The invasion of England 
 by the Norman hordes, or, as they are termed by the 
 Saxon chroniclers, (C the Pagan Danes/' involved both 
 its civil and ecclesiastical affairs in confusion, and 
 during this period the cathedral fell into decay ; for, in 
 934, when Archbishop Odo succeeded to the see, many 
 parts of the building and the surrounding walls were in 
 a ruinous state. Three years were occupied by this 
 ecclesiastic in repairing the edifice. In September, 
 1011, the Danes, after a siege of twenty days, sacked 
 the city, slaughtered its inhabitants, and fired the church. 
 By the persevering efforts of Lanfranc, who was elevated
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 25 
 
 to the see soon after the Norman Conquest, the church 
 was rebuilt in a more novel form than had been before 
 seen in the kingdom, and, according to our early histo- 
 rians, this building was made the pattern for succeeding 
 ecclesiastical structures throughout the land. 
 
 In 1093, during the reign of William Rufus, the 
 church was again rebuilt by Archbishop Anselm, the 
 successor of Lanfranc, and with such splendour, that 
 William of Malmesbury says, " the like was not to be 
 seen in England in respect of the clear light of the 
 glass windows, the beauty and comeliness of the marble 
 pavement, and the curious paintings of the roof.'' The 
 choir also was so magnificently adorned with pictures 
 and other ornaments by Prior Conrad, that from its 
 extraordinary splendour and magnificence, it acquired the 
 appellation of " The glorious Choir of Conrad" 
 
 The cathedral remained in this state till the reign 
 of Henry I., when it was damaged by fire ; it was, how- 
 ever, repaired in a short time by Archbishop Corbeil, 
 and the church dedicated anew with great splendour, 
 the king, the queen, the king of Scotland, and all the 
 prelates and nobles of both kingdoms, being present. 
 
 In 1174, in the reign of Henry II., the church was 
 again partially destroyed by fire, when the prior and 
 brothers of Christchurch rebuilt it in a manner surpass- 
 ing all the former choirs in splendour and extent : eight 
 years were spent in the execution of the work, at the 
 end of which it proceeded no farther from the want of 
 means ; a bull was, however, afterwards obtained from 
 the pope, stipulating that the offerings to Archbishop 
 Becket, who had been recently murdered, should be 
 appropriated to the restoration of the cathedral : upon 
 this, the fraternity were encouraged to pull dowu the 
 c
 
 26 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 eastern end of the church, together with the chapel 
 dedicated to the Holy Trinity adjoining it, and to erect 
 upon a spacious undercroft a more magnificent one in 
 its room. At the east end of this chapel a smaller one 
 was afterwards built at the termination of the building, 
 now called " Becket's Crown," for the reception of the 
 relics of the supposed saint. The church, when com- 
 pleted, was called by the name of " St. Thomas the 
 Martyr," in honour of Thomas a Becket, who was there 
 murdered four years previous to its destruction by the 
 fire alluded to. Historians have written so much 
 respecting the dissensions between Henry II. and Becket, 
 that it would be superfluous to enlarge upon the subject ; 
 it may, however, be sufficient to remark, that several of 
 the discourses of Becket, delivered when in Normandy, 
 in which he pronounced sentence of excommunication 
 against the familiar attendants of the king, together with a 
 lamentation of Henry's, " that no one would deliver him 
 from the turbulence of Becket's priestly insolence," pro- 
 duced so deep an impression on the minds of four followers 
 of the king, that they secretly bound themselves by oath, 
 either to terrify Becket into submission to their monarch, 
 or slay him for his presumptuous contumacy. Having 
 first repaired to the archbishop's palace, where a warm 
 contention took place between them and Becket, finding 
 threats ineffectual; they retired, and in the evening, being 
 arrayed in armour, and provided with swords and battle- 
 axes, they found the archbishop, after a long search, on the 
 third or fourth step in the lower north wing, proceeding to 
 the chancel. Upon encountering Becket, they upbraided 
 him with his ingratitude to his king, and a violent alter- 
 cation ensued, when one of the knights, stung by a taunt 
 from the archbishop respecting his birth, felled him to
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 27 
 
 the earth with a battle-axe, whereby his skull was frac- 
 tured ; after which the body was cast over the balus- 
 trade, and fell upon the stone fronting the altar of St. 
 Francis, in the north transept, the blood issuing- from 
 the wound staining- the same. His body was buried 
 in a private manner towards the east end of the under- 
 croft. 
 
 Immediately after the death of this primate, the church 
 was in a most deplorable condition ; divine service was 
 suspended, and the ornaments were stripped from the altar 
 and pillars ; this suspension of service continued for a 
 year ; when it was restored by the command of the 
 pope and suffragan bishops, who had assembled for that 
 purpose. Two years afterwards, Becket was canonized, 
 and crowds of zealots, kings, princes, nobles, and prelates, 
 of every kingdom, hastened to pay their adorations at 
 the tomb of this martyr, where miracles of every de- 
 scription were said to be performed. The example of 
 these illustrious and dignified personages was followed 
 by thousands of almost every Christian country, who 
 crowded with reverence and rich offerings to the tomb, 
 yet in the undercroft of the cathedral. From these 
 donations the expenses of rebuilding the edifice were 
 supplied, and this source of wealth to the church remained 
 unabated till the suppression of themonasteries at the 
 Reformation. Another fruitful source of revenue to the 
 ecclesiastics was the celebration of a festival every fifty 
 years, called " Becket's Jubilee ;" the concourse of pil- 
 grims who sometimes came on these occasions being 
 estimated at not less than one hundred thousand in num- 
 ber : the offerings, therefore, of so great a number of 
 devotees, must have been inconceivably great. 
 
 In 1179, Louis of France came to England to per- 
 c2
 
 ii<1 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 form his vows to the saint ; before this time, no king of 
 France had ever trodden English ground. 
 
 The church having been repaired from the sources 
 alluded to, on the 7th July, 1226, Becket's remains 
 were translated from the undercroft to the new shrine 
 erected in the building, called Becket's Crown, with 
 great solemnity and rejoicing ; the legate of the pope, 
 the archbishop of Canterbury, and many abbots and 
 bishops, supporting the coffin on their shoulders. King 
 Henry III. also attended on this occasion. Such was 
 the veneration in which these relics were held, that the 
 utmost efforts were used by the wealthy of Europe to 
 obtain the smallest fragment or shred belonging to this 
 holy martyr; it is even stated, that in various cathe- 
 drals and churches, vestiges of his clothes were adored, 
 and the most splendid buildings were dedicated to him. 
 
 In 1304, the whole choir was again repaired and 
 beautified, when Prior Henry de Estria erected the 
 beautiful screen of stonework at the entrance. The 
 two wings on each side of the great tower were also re- 
 built by Archbishop Sudbury. In 1379, this prelate took 
 down the old nave, with the intention of rebuilding it 
 in a magnificent manner, but falling a victim to the riots 
 fomented by Wat Tyler, the monks were under the 
 necessity of undertaking the work, aided by the assist- 
 ance of Archbishops Courteney and Arundel, as well 
 also by benefactions from Richard II. After thirty 
 years having been employed on the work, the building 
 was completed. Many of the portions, however, of the 
 old structure were suffered to remain, making such alter- 
 ations as were conformable to the taste of the age and 
 the plan of their newly-erecting building : thus, new 
 windows were formed in each tower, with pillars and

 arches similar to those of the nave ; the great west 
 window was placed between them, and a new porch, 
 highly ornamented, erected beneath. Archbishop Arun- 
 del also built a high leaden spire on the north tower, 
 and furnished it with five bells ; thence it was named 
 " the Arundel Steeple ;" after this, the southern tower, 
 called " St. Dunstan's Tower," was pulled down by 
 order of Archbishop Chicheley; who commenced rebuild- 
 ing the same, but died before its completion, which was 
 effected by Prior Goldstone, who also built the Dean's 
 Chapel, which he dedicated to the Virgin Mary. 
 
 The " Bell Harry Steeple," called so from its con- 
 taining a bell brought from France by Henry VIII., 
 and presented to the church, was, at the time of Ed- 
 ward IV., 285 feet high ; towards the latter end of that 
 monarch's reign, it was re-constructed by Prior Selling, 
 who began it, and Prior Goldstone who finished it, with 
 the assistance of Cardinal Morton. The chapel dedi- 
 cated to St. John the Baptist, and used as the chantry 
 of Lady Joan Brenchley, prior to the dissolution, was 
 pulled down some years ago. 
 
 Much injury was done to the cathedral at the time 
 of the Rebellion; it was ransacked for its riches; and 
 its beautiful monuments and tombs were completely 
 defaced ; and in 1649, so great was the frenzy, not only 
 of the people but of the state, that the latter made an 
 order for pulling it down, together with all other cathe- 
 drals ; however, it was not carried into effect ; and in 
 1660, its revenues were restored ; but it cost no less 
 than 12,000. to make it fit for the performance of 
 divine service. Little change took place until the year 
 1831, when the north, or Arundel Tower, being decayed, 
 was pulled down, and the re-construction of it commenced
 
 30 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 under the superintendence of Mr. George Austin ; the 
 work is now rapidly progressing. 
 
 The jurisdiction of the see of Canterbury extends 
 over the whole of the county of Kent east of the Med- 
 way, and contains 258 parishes. The deaneries under 
 the see are ten, namely Canterbury, Bridge, Charing, 
 Dover, Elham, Lympne, Ospringe, Sandwich, Sitting- 
 bourne, Sutton, and Westbere deaneries. The first is in 
 the patronage of the crown. At the dissolution, the 
 revenues appertaining to the see, and of Christchurch, 
 amounted to 517 II. 16s. lie?, per annum; and in 1834, 
 the gross revenue of the archbishop was 22,2 16/., and 
 that of the dean and chapter, 21,5511. yearly. The 
 present establishment was founded by Henry VIII. on 
 the 8th of April, 1541, and consists of a dean and 
 twelve prebendaries, six minor canons, six preachers, 
 twelve lay clerks, ten choristers, twelve almsmen, and 
 other officers. The prebends reside upon the establish- 
 ment, and the minor canons have residences assigned to 
 them within the precincts. After deducting the stipends 
 allowed to the minor canons, preachers, and others, the 
 dean receives two shares out of the remainder of the 
 revenues (about 15,000^.) belonging to the dean and 
 chapter, and the prebends each one share. The pre- 
 bendaries perform in rotation the office of vice-dean, and 
 the service is performed in like manner, each prebend 
 preaching four Sundays in the year. The first, fourth, 
 tmd sixth prebends are appointed by the archbishop, 
 and the others by the crown. The preachers are nomi- 
 nated by the archbishop, and their duty is to preach at 
 the cathedral on eleven holidays during the year. The 
 masters of the king's school are appointed by the dean 
 and chapter, as also are the minor^ canons, whose duty
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 31 
 
 is to assist in the performance of the service at the 
 cathedral. The almsmen are in the appointment of the 
 crown. An Ecclesiastical Court is held by the arch- 
 bishop once in four years. The archdeacon (or, in his 
 absence, his official) likewise holds two visitations annu- 
 ally ; one of these is for the clergy, and the other for 
 the churchwardens ; those parishes without the pale of 
 his jurisdiction are visited by the archbishop's com- 
 missary. For the trial of causes relating- to fornication, 
 defamation, and disputes connected with church matters, 
 a court is held, in which surrogates appointed for those 
 purposes preside. The summer audit commences on the 
 23d of June, and that in the winter on the 25th of 
 November, annually. 
 
 The Cathedral of Canterbury is built in the form 
 of a double cross, and consists of a nave and two aisles, 
 a chancel, with two side aisles, a lady chapel, and two 
 cross aisles or transepts. At the western front are two 
 towers, or steeples; that to the north, called the Arundel, 
 and the south, the Chicheley steeple; and at the junction 
 of the nave and choir, in the centre of the church, is 
 the great steeple called the Bell Harry Steeple. The 
 Chicheley, or Oxford Steeple, is 130 feet high, and is 
 that in which is the clock, and a peal of bells. The 
 porch of this steeple is the present entrance to the church ; 
 the vaulting is ornamented with sculptured coats of 
 arms, at the intersections of the groinings ; they are 
 principally the arms of France and England quartered, 
 and the heraldic bearings of the see of Canterbury, with 
 the quarterings of Courteney and Chicheley; above the 
 porch, on the exterior, are four niches, said to have 
 contained sculptured figures of Becket's murderers ; 
 long since removed. The Arundel Steeple was supposed
 
 32 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 to have been first built by Lanfranc ; it was 100 feet 
 high, and had at the top a leaden spire, placed there by 
 Archbishop Arundel ; the lower part of this steeple was 
 the Consistory Court, now held in the western part of 
 the nave ; the spire sustained considerable damage by 
 the great storm of 1703, and the whole of the tower 
 was in such a ruinous state a few years ago, that it is 
 now being rebuilt; and, when completed, will be a 
 counterpart of the Oxford Steeple. The great window 
 between these two steeples is in the decorated pointed 
 style, and was constructed about the year 1400 ; it is a 
 spacious and handsome window of coloured glass, and 
 divided into numerous compartments, in which are 
 figures of kings and saints. This window has sustained 
 much damage, and the reparations have not always been 
 consistent with its original state. The nave is a beauti- 
 ful specimen of the later style of pointed architecture, 
 erected by Prior Goldstone ; it has been lately cleaned 
 and repaired, and appears in all its native beauty ; the 
 roof is supported by clustered piers, from which spring 
 the arches of the aisles and centre aisle ; these are 
 groined, and, at the intersections, ornamented with 
 flowers and heraldic designs, coloured and gilt; the 
 windows in the side aisles are long, and glazed with 
 small panes of plain glass, and panelled. The nave was 
 newly paved of Portland stone in 1788, and the old 
 gravestones, which composed the former pavement, were 
 some of them cut up and employed for paving the way 
 from the Mercery gate to the porch of the south 
 entrance, and some were used in the pavements of the 
 Chapter House. On the wall of the north side aisle of 
 the nave, are several mural tablets of officers who fell at 
 the battle of Waterloo, and near the east end is a monu-
 
 OP CANTERBURY. M 
 
 ment of Sir John Boys, the founder of Jesus' Hospital, 
 lying at full length in his dean's robes ; it appears to 
 have been richly painted, but is now much defaced. 
 Opposite this monument, on the south wall, under one 
 of the windows, is a recess, in which is the following 
 inscription : 
 
 lie that's imprisoned in this narrow roome, 
 Wer't not for custome needs nor verse nor tonibe, 
 Nor can from these a memorie he lent 
 To him, \vho must he his tomb's monument, 
 And by the virtue of his lasting fame 
 Must make his tomhe live long, not it his name, 
 For when this gaudie monument is gone 
 Children of the unborn world shall spye y e stone 
 That covers him, and to their ffellowes cry 
 'Tis here, 'tis here about Barkley doth lye, 
 To build his tombe then is not thought so safe, 
 Whose virtue must outlive his epitaphe. 
 
 Near this monument, westward, is a beautiful piece of 
 sculpture, by Rysbrack. Prior to the Reformation, the 
 nave was completely covered with monuments, as is 
 evident from the remains of iron fastenings which still 
 remain in the piers that support the arches. At the 
 east end of the nave, separating it from the chancel, is 
 the west transept, or cross aisle ; it is built in the same 
 style, and was erected at the same period, as the nave ; 
 the north wing is called the Martyrdom ; on the west 
 side of this wing is a door leading to the cloisters, being 
 that used by the archbishops when they proceeded from 
 their palace through the cloisters into the cathedral. 
 Opposite this door, on the east side, is the chapel of the 
 Virgin Mary, now called Dean's Chapel, from its con- 
 taining the monuments of Dean Nevil and his family, 
 which were removed in 1787 from the chapel of St. 
 c 3
 
 34 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 John the Baptist, when that was destroyed ; the inte- 
 rior of the chapel is richly ornamented, and the tombs 
 which it contains are very handsome; a beautiful screen 
 of stone-work divides the chapel from the Martyrdom ; 
 in the latter, on the left of the screen, is a monument 
 of Dr. Alexander Chapman ; it is said to occupy the 
 place where stood the altar of St. Francis, " at the foot 
 of which the holy martyr is said to have bade his last 
 farewell to the blessed Virgin, at the point of death.'' 
 The circumstances attending the death of Becket are 
 detailed in another place ; the stone there alluded to, is 
 to be seen at the foot of Dr. Chapman's monument; in 
 this stone are the marks of a square piece having been 
 cut out, but the cavity is now filled up. At the north 
 end of this aisle are two monuments, one apparently 
 new, and the other very old and much decayed ; this 
 Jatter is Archbishop Peckham's monument, who is repre- 
 sented by a recumbent figure of oak, quite plain, while 
 the other parts of the monument appear to have been 
 richly ornamented ; the other tomb is that of Arch- 
 bishop Warham, on which is his figure sculptured, lying 
 at full length in his pontifical dress ; it has lately been 
 repaired, and now looks quite fresh. The painted win- 
 dow above these tombs was presented by Edward IV., 
 at which time it was very rich in coloured glass ; but 
 was destroyed at the Reformation by one Richard Culmer, 
 called " Blue Dick." In an account of its destruction, 
 it is said by this same Blue Dick, that " a minister 
 was on the top of the ladder with a pike in his hand, 
 rattling down proud Becket's glassy bones ;" this is in 
 allusion to a full figure of that prelate, with " cope, 
 rochet, mitre, crosier, and his pontificalities." The 
 fragments were afterwards collected, and an attempt was
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 35 
 
 made to restore the window, but it is now a miserable 
 piece of patchwork : in the present window are figures 
 of Edward IV. and his family. The south end of this 
 aisle is adorned with a window equal in size to the one 
 last mentioned, but more perfect, and presents a more 
 splendid appearance ; on the west side of the south wing, 
 are several tabular inscriptions, and on the opposite 
 side, the east, is the Chapel of St. Michael, sometimes 
 called the Warriors' Chapel, from its containing the mo- 
 numents of military men ; this chapel is built on the site 
 of St. Ann's Chapel, which was of greater dimensions ; 
 above the entrance is an ornamented projection, which, 
 according to Gostling, was the foundation of an organ 
 loft, existing prior to the time of Archbishop Sudbury. 
 In this chapel are several monuments in a high state of 
 preservation, which is easily accounted for by their not 
 being monuments of divines ; had they been so, they 
 would have shared the same fate as the others ; in the 
 middle of the chapel is a monument of Sussex marble, 
 and on the top are figures of John, Earl of Somerset, 
 his wife Margaret, and her second husband Thomas, 
 Duke of Clarence ; and around the chapel are numerous 
 monuments in suits of armour. Under the east window, 
 which is richly ornamented with stained glass, is the 
 tomb of Stephen Langton, projecting on the exterior ; 
 the wall of the chapel being built across it at right angles. 
 North of the chapel is a staircase leading down into the 
 undercroft. In the centre of the western transept is a 
 flight of steps leading up from the nave to the chancel ; 
 above these, in the centre, is the lofty and spacious 
 tower called Bell Harry Steeple ; the area of this tower 
 is about thirty-five feet square, resting on piers that 
 spring as it were direct from the ground ; and not de-
 
 36 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 pending for support upon any other part of the building ; 
 in order to strengthen the pillars which sustain it, Prior 
 Goldstone placed between them stretchers of stone work ; 
 these stretchers are pierced in an ornamental way, and 
 are carried on arches from pillar to pillar on the west, 
 north, and south sides of the area ; at the top of each is 
 an embattled cornice over an architrave, on which is an 
 inscription. The interior of this tower is splendid ; com- 
 mencing at the height of the roof of the nave, are two 
 galleries of windows with doors opening into the leaden 
 roof; the vaulting of the roof springs from corbeils in 
 the piers between the windows, and is greatly embellished 
 with the bearings of the see, Prior Goldstone, and 
 others, emblazoned ; and the colours being quite fresh, 
 the effect is very beautiful. The exterior of this stately 
 tower is richly decorated, and the top is ornamented with 
 an embattled parapet, and at each corner is a pinnacle 
 beautifully constructed ; at the top is the great bell, 
 called the ' Bell Harry/ which is tolled only at time of 
 service and every evening at Curfew, at eight o'clock, 
 and is rung on the death of the sovereign or archbishop. 
 A stone staircase in the south wing of the cross aisle 
 leads to the Belfrage. The flight of steps before men- 
 tioned as being at the end of the nave and under the 
 great tower, leads up to the choir, or middle aisle of the 
 chancel; at the entrance of this choir is a screen of 
 stone work in the florid style of gothic architecture, and 
 remarkable for the richness and delicacy of its ornaments, 
 which are chiefly pointed gothic flutings, pyramids, and 
 six canopied niches, in each of which is a figure of a king 
 or queen; five of them holding globes, and the sixth, 
 said to be the figure of Ethelbert, with a church in his 
 hand, the whitewash which covered it in the time of
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 37 
 
 Gostling, has been removed, and the ornaments, which 
 were much mutilated, have been repaired ; around the 
 arch of the doorway are several mitred niches, said to 
 have contained figures of the apostles. Immediately 
 over this screen was the organ, which was removed by 
 Dean Percy, and which is now placed in the gallery of 
 the south side aisle of the chancel, the pipes being at 
 the distance of 92 feet from the keys ; but whatever may 
 have been the object of Dean Percy in placing it there, 
 it is very certain that the effect upon the congregation 
 is very much aided by its being out of sight. The 
 chancel is divided into a middle and two side aisles. The 
 choir is remarkable for its simplicity and beauty ; and 
 the style of its architecture shows it to be of greater 
 antiquity than the rest of the church ; the circular 
 arches, the heavy Norman pillars, and the fantastic 
 variety of the ornaments, all sufficiently distinguish it 
 both from the nave and the other parts of the building. 
 The choir is separated from the side aisles by a stone 
 wall fifteen feet high, and solid from the bottom to the 
 height of about eight feet ; the upper part is open work 
 richly ornamented and glazed, the whole running parallel 
 with the pillars that support the roof; on either side, it 
 continues round the choir and at the east end, where 
 a beautiful screen-work, most delicately constructed, 
 separates it from the Trinity Chapel : notwithstanding 
 the elegance and lightness of this screen, much of its 
 beauty is lost or destroyed, by its inconsistency with the 
 style of the architecture of the choir; the light and 
 intricate tracery of the florid gothic never can har- 
 monize with the heavy and ungraceful Norman style : 
 attached to this wall on either side, within the presby- 
 terium, were the stalls of the monks, curiously carved in
 
 38 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 stone ; in 1704 they were removed, and the present 
 stalls of the dean and prebendaries, of wainscoting 
 elaborately carved with foliage, crowns, mitres, sceptres, 
 &c., erected at the west end. The pillars of the choir 
 are alternately circular and octagonal ; the sixth is 
 octagonal, and has at each face a small pillar of Petworth 
 marble ; the arches springing from the capitals of the 
 pillars are pointed, and above them is the triforium or 
 gallery of small pillars of Petworth marble, supporting 
 a mixture of little circular and pointed arches ; this 
 gallery runs all round the choir ; and the regularity of 
 these dark shining pillars, and the contrast between 
 them and the whiteness of the surrounding parts, pre- 
 sent a most beautiful and pleasing appearance ; above 
 the triforiura is a range of pointed windows running 
 round the choir and the Trinity Chapel. The pews for 
 the congregation are arranged on each side of the pres- 
 byterium, and occupy the place of the old monkish stalls ; 
 at the end of these pews on the south side and adjoining 
 the sixth pillar, is the Archbishop's Throne, constructed 
 of carved oak, and in the Corinthian style of architecture; 
 adjoining it, eastward,is the pew of the archdeacon, 
 here, two steps of grey marble lead from the presbyterium 
 to a landing-place, being the level of the east cross aisle 
 or transept ; just beyond the width of this aisle com- 
 mence the steps of the altar *, which are six of black and 
 eleven of grey marble, and fill up the east end of the choir 
 from pillar to pillar, and on the upper landing-place of 
 
 * Of the high altar, which was enriched with gold, silver, and 
 jewellery, of costly workmanship, Erasmus, who visited the Cathedral 
 in the time of Archbishop "Warham, asserts, " that we should think 
 the richest monarclis beggars in comparison with the abundance of gold 
 and silver which belonged to it."
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 39 
 
 these steps is the communion table. Before the altera- 
 tion made in the Cathedral by Dean Percy, the altar was 
 placed on the landing-place immediately above the first 
 flight of steps : this accounts for former descriptions of 
 the Cathedral, which state that " a flight of steps behind 
 the altar leads up to the Trinity Chapel," which would 
 necessarily be the case if the altar screen was between 
 the two flights of steps. There are several monuments 
 in the choir, all richly ornamented ; the first on the left 
 hand under the arch of the cross aisle, is the monument 
 of Archbishop Chicheley, erected by himself; it is richly 
 painted, carved, and gilt; his figure, in his pontifical dress, 
 lies on a table supported by Gothic pillars and arches, 
 and below, is a figure nearly approaching to a skeleton. 
 The next monument is that of Archbishop Bourgchier : 
 the brass figures which once ornamented it have been 
 torn off. Opposite to Archbishop Chicheley's, is the 
 monument of Cardinal Kemp, ornamented with a canopy 
 of Gothic work carved in wood, now whitewashed. The 
 next is that of Archbishop Stratford, with his figure cut 
 in alabaster; and the last is Archbishop Sudbury's, who 
 was beheaded in London, in 1381, by the rebels. From 
 the sixth and seventh pillars of the choir spring the 
 arches of the eastern transept which crosses between 
 them ; however, the side aisles of the choir claim atten- 
 tion first. These aisles do not appear to have received 
 such improvements as the choir ; the style of their archi- 
 tecture is plainer, and of older date. The little pillars 
 that run along the wall under the windows are rudely 
 constructed, and the ornaments of the circular arches 
 which they support, are of the meanest and most simple 
 description. The windows are all circular, and those in 
 the north aisle are exceedingly rich, and far surpass in
 
 40 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 splendour the windows in the other parts of the church. 
 At the top of the steps leading to the south aisle is a 
 door opening 1 to a flight of steps carried over circular 
 arches, and leading to a room over the Chapel of St. 
 Michael; eastward from this door, under the second 
 window, is the monument of Archbishop Walter Rey- 
 nolds, and under the third window that of Hubert 
 Walter, both of them very much defaced. Above the 
 transept is St. Anselm's Chapel, and the black marble 
 tomb at the entrance is that of Archbishop Meopham. 
 Underthe south window, whichis of later date,is the tomb 
 of Archbishop Bradwarden. Over the chapel is a room, 
 supposed to have been a place of confinement. On the 
 west side of the transept is the tower of St. Anselra, 
 which on the exterior is highly ornamented. The church 
 at this part is contracted, and terminates in a semicircular 
 form ; a flight of steps at the end of the aisle leads up to 
 the Trinity Chapel, the side aisles of which are divided 
 from the middle by pillars of Purbeck marble ; the arches 
 are in the pointed style, as is the triforium above, and 
 the ribs of the arches meet in the centre of the roof. 
 In this chapel was the " glorious" shrine of Thomas a 
 Becket. Of this shrine Erasmus says, ic a coffin of wood 
 which covered a coffin of gold was drawn up by ropes and 
 pulleys, and then an invaluable treasure was discovered ; 
 gold was the meanest thing to be seen there; all shined 
 and glittered with the rarest and most precious jewels, 
 of an extraordinary bigness. Some were larger than 
 the egg of a goose." At the time of the Reforma- 
 tion by Henry VIIL, all these riches were carried away, 
 though whether upon the "utilitarian" principle cannot 
 be stated ; the altar was destroyed, and all that now re- 
 mains of the beauty of this chapel, is a curiously-orna-
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 41 
 
 mented pavement ; it is a beautiful mosaic of coloured 
 stones or marbles, surrounded by circular stones, on which 
 are sculptured the signs of the zodiac, nearly worn down 
 to a level. The windows of the chapel are in the Nor- 
 man style, and are nearly all of plain glass ; within the 
 circle of pillars in the centre of the chapel, are several 
 tombs of sovereigns and prelates : that nearest to the 
 altar screen in the north, is the monument of Edward 
 the Black Prince, who died at the palace of the arch- 
 bishop in this city in 1376, having on the top of it his 
 effigy in brass, representing a complete suit of mail ; it 
 is very perfect, and does not appear to have sustained 
 any damage; around the borders of the stone bearing the 
 figure, is a fillet of brass containing an inscription, and 
 on the sides of the tomb are shields bearing the arms of 
 France and England. The tomb is enclosed in an iron 
 railing, and above it is a canopy once richly ornamented, 
 but now almost obliterated; above this are suspended, 
 the prince's gauntlets, his surcoat now in tatters, the 
 scabbard of his sword, and his helmet. The opposite 
 monument is that of Henry IV., and his queen Joan of 
 Navarre, with their figures in alabaster ; it appears to 
 have been richly ornamented; at the head of it is a table 
 on which was represented the murder of Becket. The 
 next monument eastward is Dr. Nicholas Wotton's, said 
 to have been designed and executed at Rome. Opposite 
 are the monuments of Archbishop Courteney and Car- 
 dinal Chastillon ; the former, that nearest to the tomb 
 of the Black Prince, is ornamented with a recumbent 
 figure of the archbishop dressed in his robes, and cut in 
 alabaster. Opposite these, under one of the windows of 
 the south aisle, is a sarcophagus of singularly antique ap- 
 pearance, which Gostling considers as a Saxon shrine ; but
 
 42 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 which is not likely, since it is ornamented with trefoil 
 mouldings. The show people describe it as being the 
 tomb of Archbishop Theobald; in the north aisle, opposite 
 the tomb of Henry IV., is a screen-work of oak, in 
 which is a door leading into a small chapel or chantry 
 without the wall, in which the monks said mass for the 
 souls of the king and queen. The east end of the 
 church is terminated by a small circular chapel, called 
 " Becket's Crown ;" the roof is arched and the ribs meet 
 in the centre ; a double triforium runs round the interior, 
 and on the spaces between were painted, in fresco, figures 
 of saints, which the modern whitewash has entirely 
 obliterated ; in one of the recesses of the wall is a monu- 
 ment of Cardinal Pole, without any ornament ; in the 
 centre stands the Patriarchal Chair, in which the arch- 
 bishop sits at his enthronization ; it is made of Purbeck 
 marble, and very slightly ornamented. There are in 
 this chapel five lofty windows, said to have contained a 
 perfect representation of the legend of Becket's miracles. 
 At the east end of the north aisle is the Chapel of St. 
 Andrew, now a vestry-room. The eastern transept 
 crosses the choir, as was before observed, between the 
 sixth and seventh pillars; both wings are ornamented with 
 two triforiums of little pillars which run all round, and 
 in which can be traced the awkward manner in which 
 the pointed arches are cast among the circular or Norman 
 ones. Adjoining the north wing, on the west side, is 
 the Tower of St. Andrew, ornamented on the exterior 
 similarly to St. Anselm's, adjoining the south wing of 
 the upper transept ; the lower part of it is a sort of 
 vestibule to the audit room. The little pillars in the 
 lower part of the cross aisle form recesses, used at one 
 time as depositories for the gowns of the choristers ; a
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 43 
 
 door in the north-west corner leads to a passage in which, 
 close to the door of the Library, is a small building called 
 Bell Jesus ; it is now used as a baptistry, and contains 
 the beautiful marble font presented to the church by 
 Warner, bishop of Rochester, and which used to stand 
 at the west end of the nave. 
 
 The undercroft, or crypt, is a beautiful erection most 
 curiously constructed. It is considered to be the same 
 structure as that built by Lan franc in the time of 
 William the Conqueror; the vaultings of stone are 
 supported by short thick pillars, and extend from the 
 commencement of the choir to the termination of 
 Becket's Crown. At the south-west corner of the under- 
 croft, is the French church, appropriated to the Walloons 
 and their descendants by Queen Elizabeth ; the pillars 
 are curiously and fantastically ornamented ; the shafts 
 of some of them are round and plain, others octagonal, 
 carved and twisted in almost every variety of embellish- 
 ment peculiar to that time ; the vaulting of the roof is 
 quite plain. That part of the undercroft called the 
 chantry of Edward, the Black Prince, is decorated with 
 carved monuments, and where the moulded ribs of the 
 roof intersect, are the arms of that prince ; it was built 
 in 1363. In the eastern part is the old chapel of the 
 Virgin Mary, which at one time contained the altar of 
 " our Lady Undercroft," the niche designed for her 
 statue, as well as the pedestal, still remaining; the walls 
 of this chapel are of open gothic work, and built in 
 1500 by Cardinal Archbishop Morton. It was once 
 richly ornamented, but now in a state of decay and ruin. 
 The vast riches displayed in this chapel previous to the 
 dissolution, were totally excluded from the vulgar gaze; 
 none but the great were suffered within its precincts.
 
 44 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 Erasmus states that " there the Virgin Mother has an 
 habitation, though somewhat dark, enclosed with a 
 double step or rail of iron, for fear of thieves, for indeed 
 I never saw anything more laden with riches ; lights 
 being brought, we saw more than a royal spectacle ; in 
 beauty it far exceeded that of Walsingham." The 
 monuments in this part of the undercroft are nearly all 
 decayed and destroyed ; these are the remains of the 
 monuments of Joan Burwasb, in the south side of the 
 Virgin Mary's chapel ; the monument of Isabel, Coun- 
 tess of Athol, and Archbishop Morton. There is also 
 a chapel dedicated to St. Anselm ; it was very curiously 
 ornamented with paintings and carved figures. Of the 
 undercroft of Becket's Crown, Gostling says, " Its side 
 aisles are divided from it by four pair of remarkably 
 strong pillars on each side, the last pair disposed suitable 
 to the circular design. Two slender pillars in the middle 
 of the vault assist in supporting the pavement above. 
 The descent into it is by eleven or twelve steps from 
 without. Most of the windows of it have been bricked 
 up ; but it is still lightsome enough to see a crucifix 
 with a person standing on each side of it over an arch, 
 at the east end of the vault which opens into that which 
 I suppose the place called Becket's tomb. Its form is a 
 circle, about thirty feet diameter, the roof arched, with 
 ribs meeting in the centre. The groyns between the 
 ribs of the arch are adorned with the capital letters I 
 and M, the I's crowned." Leland speaks of ten arch- 
 bishops having been interred in the undercroft.

 ST. AUGUSTINE'S ABBEY. 
 
 THE ruins of this abbey are situated at Longport, in 
 the eastern suburb of the city. It was founded by 
 Augustine soon after his arrival in this country, and was 
 built for him by King Ethelbert ; the chief object in 
 its foundation being to provide a cemetery or burial 
 place for Augustine and his followers. The ruins which 
 are left, though trifling in extent, still indicate the site 
 of a magnificent foundation. It consisted of a church 
 dedicated to St. Pancras ; portions of the walls only are 
 left. At the east end is a pointed Gothic arch of a 
 window, protected only by the ivy with which it is com- 
 pletely covered. In the parts yet standing there are 
 many Roman bricks, which show it to be of early date ; 
 besides this, there was, as is mentioned in the reign of 
 Edward IV., a great hall, a wardrobe chamber, kitchen, 
 a cloister, a vestry, the almonry, and other inferior 
 chambers ; the whole being enclosed by a wall, circum- 
 scribing an area of about sixteen acres of land. The 
 west front of this wall extends about two hundred and 
 fifty feet, and at each end is a great gate. The ceme- 
 tery was close to the road side, near Longport. One of 
 the two gates now standing, that to the south-west, was 
 the principal entrance to the cemetery, through which 
 a road lay to St. Martin's Hill, and through the south- 
 east gate, now bricked up. The Great Gate, the modern 
 designation of which is the " Monastery House," is in 
 the pointed Gothic style, having two towers flanking a 
 pointed arch ; above the machecollations are port-holes, 
 in which are placed some small guns, rather more for 
 ornament than use ; this gate is now turned into a

 private dwelling, the residence of W. M. Baskerville, 
 Esq. The gate at the north-west end is a more recent 
 structure ; it is full of symmetry and beauty, and requires 
 a lengthened description to do justice to it. It is, how- 
 ever, considered to be the finest specimen of the style 
 of architecture which it represents, in England. It is 
 much defaced by the modern " Goths," and its beauty 
 partially destroyed ; and though the lower part is turned 
 into a brewery, and the once magnificent hall in which 
 Queen " Bess '' was wont to regale herself on her visits 
 to Canterbury, is now a receptacle for water used for 
 the purposes of brewing, its marks of beauty are still 
 predominant, and call from us strong feelings of wonder 
 and admiration. At the south-west corner of the site of 
 the old abbey church, stood Ethelberfs Tower, at a 
 distance of sixty-six feet from another tower at the 
 north-west end. It was adorned on the west side with 
 little pillars supporting Norman arches, which proves it 
 to have been erected at an early period ; at the height 
 of ninety feet from the ground were grooves or chasings, 
 supposed to indicate the attachment of the roof. The 
 church is supposed by Somner to have been built about 
 1047, and was thrown down with great difficulty in 1822, 
 for the purpose of building a mansion with the materials. 
 The chapel of St. Pancras is supposed to have been a 
 pagan temple, and was one of the two churches founded 
 by Augustine on his arrival ; a portion of the walls only- 
 remains. Near the north-west gate was an almonry, but 
 its remains are so trifling, that from their appearance no 
 conception of their use can be formed. In the cemetery 
 of this monastery were buried Ethelbert and Bertha his 
 queen, St. Augustine, and other distinguished person- 
 ages of the period. The possessions of the monks of

 this abbey were very extensive ; besides which, they 
 were rich enough in money to assist kings occasionally 
 in the prosecution of wars. These monks enjoyed many 
 privileges.* Until Cuthbert, in 743, obtained from the 
 Pope license to build a burial place in the cathedral, 
 they claimed the right of interring archbishops within 
 their abbey ; besides which, they obtained from Athel- 
 stan the privilege of coining, which they retained until 
 1161 ; they had also power to excommunicate all who 
 did not pay them the required reverence, and were ex- 
 empt from the dominion of the archiepiscopacy : hence 
 the frequent disputes between the two great ecclesiastical 
 bodies at that time, the monks of Christchurch claim- 
 ing authority over those of the abbey, and the latter 
 laying claim to the mitre. It received a great check by 
 Edward I., who passed an act to prevent estates being 
 made over to it without royal license ; but it was compen- 
 sated for this loss of nearly all the estates in the country, 
 by obtaining possession of churches and the appropria- 
 tion of tithes, but for the payment of which the monks 
 obtained the privilege of exemption ; a change which 
 they did not at all regret, since it increased their wealth. 
 But the last and severest cut of all was its almost total 
 annihilation by Henry VIII., from whose rapacious 
 hands its dignity and pomp could not protect it. Its 
 constitution was completely dissolved by that monarch, 
 but he left sufficient of its buildings to make a palace 
 for himself. At its dissolution, its revenues were esti- 
 
 * As an instance of the prevalence of hospitality and good cheer 
 among these ecclesiastics, it may be mentioned that, at a feast given in 
 the reign of Edward I., 4500 persons were present ; and at a subse- 
 quent one, 6000 guests were entertained by them, on which occasion 
 3000 dishes of meat were served up.

 mated at 1412/. 4*. Id. After this it was granted for 
 life to Cardinal Pole, and in 1573 Queen Elizabeth 
 resided in the palace, and kept court with great magni- 
 ficence. In the early part of the seventeenth century, 
 it was in the possession of the Wotton family. In 1625 
 it was the scene of great splendour by Charles I., who 
 commemorated his marriage with Henrietta Maria of 
 France. It was visited in 1659 by Charles II. After 
 this time there is little connected with it worthy of 
 notice, except that misfortune again attended it: its 
 magnificent hall and all connected with it, save the 
 few remains already noticed, being removed for the sake 
 of the materials. From the Wotton family it fell into 
 the hands of that of Sir Edward Hales, who let it to its 
 present occupiers. 
 
 THE BLACK FRIARS. 
 
 THE convent of this brotherhood was situated on the 
 north side of St. Peter's Street. They settled in Can- 
 terbury in 1217. They wore a black cowl over a white 
 coat, and their order was founded by St. Dominic ; 
 hence they were called Dominicans, or Black Friars. 
 They built a church, part of which still remains, and is 
 used as a Unitarian chapel, and is situated near the 
 western side of the river, close by Abbot's Mill *. The 
 principal gate was in St. Peter's Street, and there were 
 two others, one in St. Alphage Lane, and the other near 
 the waterlock ; there are now no traces of them. The 
 whole was enclosed by a wall, containing about five 
 acres of land. The convent was built by Stephen Lang-

 delivered many of his sermons.

 ton, and was the first of the order established in this 
 country. These monks obtained extensive grants of 
 lands, and buried many persons of note within their 
 convent, which was dissolved with the other similar 
 establishments, when the general dissolution took place 
 by Henry VIII. It then became the property of the 
 crown ; but was sold in 1557, since when it passed 
 through various hands, and is now private property. 
 
 THE GREY FRIARS. 
 
 THE convent of Grey Friars was situated on the south 
 side of St. Peter's Street. It was the establishment of 
 a fraternity founded by St. Francis ; hence they were 
 called Franciscans, or Grey Friars, from the colour of 
 their dress. They came into England in 1224, and 
 took up their abode at the Poor Priests' Hospital in this 
 city. It seems that these friars professed poverty; 
 they even made a vow to remain poor, but had not 
 sufficient resolution to withstand temptations held out 
 to them. They were noticed by great personages, from 
 whom they received land, and property of various kinds, 
 and in course of time they became well provided for. 
 In the reign of Henry VII., the Grey Friars were called 
 Observants, from the strictness of their discipline ; and 
 in the reign of Henry VIII. the whole fraternity shared 
 the fate of others, and was abolished. At that time the 
 convent was valued at 39. 12*. 8d. per annum. The 
 property passed through various hands after that period ; 
 and the site of their establishment, of which there are 
 scarcely any remains, is now the theatre of mirth and 
 enjoyment, being converted into tea-gardens, and called 
 after the proprietor, whose name is Kidman.

 THE WHITE AUGUSTINE FRIARS, 
 
 OR Friars Eremite, came into England in 1325, and 
 established a priory at Canterbury, south of St. George's 
 Street. At the time of the dissolution, this fraternity 
 was broken up, and their lands sold to one John An- 
 thony, in 1557. It appears that when they were sup- 
 pressed, they were so poor that they petitioned the 
 mayor and commonalty for relief. Little remains of 
 their convent, which, from the extent of the wall still 
 standing, occupies a large space of ground. Their house 
 has been almost entirely altered, and is now occupied by 
 the widow of the late General Ramsey. There is a 
 large gateway nearly opposite St. George's church, which 
 was one of the entrances to the convent ; the principal 
 entrance, however, was in Rose Lane; it is now blocked 
 up : besides these, there were three other smaller gates, 
 or doorways. The lane surrounding the north side has 
 been let out in parcels to various individuals, and all 
 appearances of a convent are entirely obliterated. 
 
 THE PRIORY OF ST. GREGORY. 
 
 WHEN Lanfranc built the hospital which he dedicated 
 to St. John, he erected, on the opposite side of the 
 road, a church and priory, which he dedicated to St. 
 Gregory, and supplied it with monks, called Regular 
 Black Canons of the order of St. Augustine; and 
 appointed them to the administering to the wants of 
 the brothers and sisters of the hospital. At the general 
 dissolution it was granted to the archbishop ; since then 
 it has been sold and let out to various persons. The

 priory house, in the reign of Elizabeth, was the mansion 
 of Sir John Boys. It is now in a state of ruin, and 
 occupied by a manufactory of tobacco pipes. The pre- 
 cincts of this priory are now called " The Ville of St. 
 Gregory." 
 
 THE NUNNERY OF ST. SEPULCHRE 
 
 WAS a convent of Black Benedictine Nuns, under the 
 patronage and protection of the archbishop, and was 
 founded about the year 1100 by Anselm. It was situ- 
 ated in the ancient parish of St. Sepulchre, immediately 
 without the city wall. At the time of Henry VIII. the 
 establishment consisted of a prioress and five nuns ; and 
 at the time of the dissolution, its revenues were valued 
 at 291. 12s. 5^d. per annum. The church now called 
 St. Mary Bredin was appropriated to these nuns. It 
 seems that in the time of Boniface VIII., they were 
 " not such recluses as their order required," and an 
 order was made for their confinement to their cloisters. 
 Elizabeth Barton, otherwise the " Holy Maid of Kent," 
 was one of their body : she was notorious for her im- 
 postures, and lost her life at Tyburn gallows, for hinting 
 at the divorce and second marriage of Henry VIII. 
 
 THE CHURCHES. 
 
 All Saints Church is situated on the north side of 
 High-street, near Kingsbridge. It consists of two aisles 
 and two chancels. It was rebuilt on the site of the old 
 one, which was erected in the time of Edward III. The

 patronage of this church was formerly in the possession 
 of the convent of St. Augustine ; but was surrendered 
 to Henry VIII. in the year 1539, and has since con- 
 tinued in the crown. The church was united by Arch- 
 bishop Sancroft, in 1684, to St. Mildred. It is a rectory ; 
 the value of the living is taxed at SQL 
 
 St. Alphage Church is situated on the west side of 
 Palace-street, is of ancient date, and consists of two 
 aisles, two chancels, and a square tower, with three bells 
 at the west end. It was built, as is conjectured, on the 
 site of an ancient church, dedicated to the four crowned 
 martyrs. The living is a rectory in the patronage of the 
 archbishop, and was united, in 1681, to the vicarage of 
 St. Mary Northgate. The value of the living is rated 
 in the king's books at 81. 13s. 4d. 
 
 St. Andrew's Church lies south of the High-street, 
 at a short distance from the foot-path. It is a brick 
 structure, having one steeple. It consists of two aisles 
 and a chancel, and was built to replace the old church, 
 which stood in the middle of the road, for which an Act 
 of Parliament was obtained in 1762, and the corporation 
 voted 100?. towards its erection. The living is a rectory, 
 and was in the possession of the convent of St. Augus- 
 tine until the Reformation, when it was given by Henry 
 VIII. to the Archbishop of Canterbury. It was united 
 to the rectory of St. Mary Bredman in 1681, and the 
 patronage then fell into the hands of the archbishop 
 and the dean and chapter conjointly ; the former having 
 two appointments, and the latter one. It is rated with 
 St. Mary Bredman at 22/. 6*. 8d. 
 
 St. Mary's Church, Northgate, is situated on the 
 west side of Northgate-street, and was partially rebuilt 
 in 1830, on the ruins of the ancient structure, part of

 which crossed the street over the north gate of the 
 city. The east front is of brick, in the rude pointed 
 style, with two windows. The living- is a vicarage ; it 
 belonged formerly to the convent of St. Gregory, but 
 at the dissolution the patronage was granted to the 
 archbishop, in whom it still continues. The church 
 was united to that of St. Alphage in 1681. It is valued 
 i the king's books at III. 19s. 4|rf. 
 
 St. Mildred's Church is situated near the castle, south- 
 west of the city ; it consists of three aisles and three 
 chancels, with a square tower. It is an ancient structure 
 built of flints and stones. It exhibits many traces of 
 Roman workmanship, particularly in an arch over one 
 of the windows. It was partially destroyed by fire in 
 1246. In its present state, it is one of the most hand- 
 some parish churches in Canterbury. The living is 
 a rectory, and prior to the dissolution was part of the 
 possessions of the convent of St. Augustine; subse- 
 quent to that period it has remained in the patronage 
 of the crown. It is valued in the king's books at 
 171. 17s. lid. 
 
 St. George's Church is on the north side of the High- 
 street, and stands near to where the gate of that name 
 stood. It consists of two chancels and two aisles, and 
 a square tower at the westward with a narrow turret or 
 steeple. An illuminated clock projects into the street. 
 The church belonged to the priors of Christchurch before 
 the Reformation, when Henry VIII. gave it to the dean 
 and chapter of Canterbury ; and it became united to St. 
 Mary Magdalen in 1681. It is a rectory. In the 
 king's books it is valued at 'Jl. IJs. lid. 
 
 St. Margaret's Church is situated on the west of St. 
 Margaret's-street. It consists of three chancels and
 
 56 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 three aisles, with a square tower at the west end, having 
 three bells. The living is a rectory, and belonged ori- 
 ginally to the convent of St. Augustine, and afterwards 
 to Poor Priests' Hospital, in 1274. In 1586, it was 
 given to the Archdeacon of Canterbury, and has since 
 continued under that patronage. It is endowed with 
 2001. parliamentary grant. 
 
 St. Mary Bredman's Church is situated south 0f 
 the High-street. It has a plain front, with three 
 pointed Gothic windows, and was rebuilt in 1822, on 
 the site of the old Norman structure. It consists of two 
 aisles and two chancels, and a tower and bell at the 
 west end. The patronage of the living, which is a 
 rectory, belonged to Christchurch prior to the dissolu- 
 tion, when it was given to the Dean and Chapter 
 of Canterbury, and was united to St. Andrews, in 
 1681. The living is now in the patronage of the Arch- 
 bishop and the Dean and Chapter ; the former enjoying 
 two appointments and the latter one. It is valued with 
 St. Andrew's at 22J. 6s. Sd. 
 
 St. Mary Bredins Church is situated in Rose-lane 
 near the Dane John, and consists of a nave, a chancel, 
 and one aisle. It was built in the time of William the 
 Conqueror. The living is a vicarage, and belonged, 
 prior to the dissolution, to the convent of St. Augustine; 
 but was granted by Henry VIII. to the archbishop, from 
 whom it passed to the Hales's, and is now in possession 
 of George Henry Lee Warner, Esq. It is valued in the 
 king's books at 41. Is. 5Jrf., and endowed with 1000J. 
 private benefaction, 2001. royal bounty, and 2000/. par- 
 liamentary grant. 
 
 St. Mary Magdalen s Church is situated south of 
 Burgate-street, and consists of a chancel and two aisles ;
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 57 
 
 at the west end is a square tower and steeple containing 
 five bells. It is an ancient church, and belonged to the 
 convent of St. Augustine. At the time of the disso- 
 lution, Henry VIII. granted the living to the Dean and 
 Chapter of Canterbury, and it has since continued in that 
 patronage. It is a rectory, and was united to that of 
 St. George's in 1681. It is valued in thei ng's books 
 at 4;. 10*. 
 
 Holy Cross Church, Westgate, is situated near the 
 West gate, and south of the street. It consists of three 
 aisles, a chancel, and a square tower. It was built by 
 Archbishop Sudbury, when he rebuilt the present gate, 
 in the place of the old one, over which was the ancient 
 church of Holy Cross. The church Belonged to the 
 Priors of St. Gregory, and was endowed with a vicarage, 
 in 1347. The living was granted to the archbishop at 
 the time of the dissolution ; at present it is in the pa- 
 tronage of the Archbishop and the Dean and Chapter 
 of Canterbury alternately. It is valued in the king's 
 books at 131. 0*. 2-rf. 
 
 St. Peter s Church stands on the north side of High- 
 street. It is a small edifice, consisting of a chancel, 
 nree aisles, with a square tower at the west end. The 
 living is a rectory, and formerly belonged to the priory 
 of Christchurch. At the dissolution it was granted to 
 the dean and chapter. In 1681, it was united to Holy 
 Cross, and the patronage of the two was united, and is 
 at present enjoyed alternately by the archbishop and 
 the dean and chapter. The value of the living is rated 
 in the king's books at 3/. 10*. 
 
 St. Dunstan's Church is situated not far from the 
 gate, west of Canterbury, near to Harbledown. It is 
 an ancient structure, consisting of two aisles, a small 
 
 D 3

 chancel at the west end, and two larger ones at the east 
 end ; also a square tower with a steeple and belfry. It 
 belonged to the priory of St. Gregory until the time 
 of the dissolution, when it fell into the hands of the 
 Archbishop of Canterbury, and has continued so to the 
 present time. It is a vicarage, and the value of the 
 living in 1640 was 4QL a-year. This church is noted 
 from its being the burial-place of the Roper family, of 
 which it contains many monuments ; and in one of the 
 vaults near the coffin of Margaret Roper is the skull of 
 her father, Sir Thomas More, who lost his life from his 
 want of faith in the supremacy of Henry VIII. After 
 his head had been exhibited on a pole on London-bridge, 
 it was purchased secretly by his daughter Margaret, and 
 brought to Canterbury, and preserved in a casket until 
 her death, when it was placed beside her coffin. 
 
 St. Martins Church is situated on St. Martin's-hill, 
 at Longport. It is the most ancient Christian church 
 in England. The walls are built principally of Roman 
 bricks, and it is therefore supposed to have been used by 
 the Romans previous to the introduction of Christianity 
 in this country. At that time it consisted only of a 
 chancel or oratory ; the nave has since been added. It 
 is the church in which Bertha, the queen of Ethelbert, 
 performed her devotions, and was afterwards, it is sup- 
 posed, the first building used by St. Augustine and his 
 followers, when sent over to this country by Pope Gre- 
 gory to preach Christianity. There is a very beautifully 
 decorated stone font in the nave, very much decayed ; 
 it has three rows of ornaments, one of which is a series 
 of intersecting arches in the Norman style. The living 
 is a rectory, and formerly belonged to the see of Can- 
 terbury; but being united in 1681 to St. Paul's, the

 patronage became vested in the archbishop and the 
 dean and chapter alternately. In 1640 it was taxed 
 at 401. 
 
 St. Paul's Church is situated in St. Paul's-street, on 
 the south side. It is a low building, comprising two 
 chancels and two aisles, with a square tower, rudely 
 constructed. It formerly belonged to the monastery of 
 St. Augustine, was made a vicarage in 1268, and at the 
 dissolution was given by Henry VIII. to the Dean and 
 Chapter of Canterbury. In 1681 it was united to St. 
 Martin's, and the patronage has since been enjoyed by 
 the archbishop and the dean and chapter alternately. 
 The living is valued at 91. 18*. 9</. 
 
 Besides the above-mentioned churches, there are the 
 following places of worship, viz. : The Independent 
 Chapel, in Guildhall -street ; the Antipcedobaptist

 and comprises thirty-three dwellings, besides the chapel, a common 
 hall or Frater hall, and a common kitchen. .Attached to the dwelling*

 are parcels of ground, one of which is employed as a burial ground ; 
 and the others are cultivated as gardens. It is supposed to have been 
 founded by Archbishop Lanfranc, and has since remained under the 
 direction of succeeding archbishops. It was established for the sup- 
 port and maintenance of sixty poor people ; thirty of each sex. The 
 establishment at present consists of a master, a chaplain, fifty-three 
 brothers and sisters, including the prior and prioress, seven places being 
 vacant. The number of inmates is thirty-eight, the remaining fifteen 
 living out, by permission of the master, and paying a fine of sixpence 
 per month, towards the repairs of the dwellings ; these receive only six 
 shillings a quarter from the archbishop, the inmates receiving six 
 shillings and eightpence each on admission, which they have to pay for 
 the repairs of the hospital ; and six shillings and eightpence quarterly, 
 out of which they pay eightpence per quarter to the chaplain, who reads 
 prayers twice a-day. The yearly receipts amount to about 411., 
 arising from the dividends on monies in the public funds, and the 
 rents of estates ; from this is to be deducted an annual payment of 
 20. 19s. 4d. to St. Nicholas' Hospital, Harbledown ; the fee farm rent 
 of 3. 8s. 7% ., and 24.., part of the archibishop's annuity ; leaving 
 at the disposal of the steward, 362. 12s. J d. The average amount of 
 money divided is about 300. 13s. 6d., independent of which, the 
 inmates of the hospital receive a supply of faggots from a wood called 
 Brotherhood Wood. The present master is the Venerable James 
 Croft, archdeacon of Canterbury ; the chaplain is the Rev. W. E. Hos- 
 kins, vicar of St. Mary, Northgate ; and Mr. George Austin is the 
 steward, and receives about 25. yearly, for his management of the 
 estates. 
 
 The Hospital of St. Nicholas, sometimes called St. Thomas', is 
 situated at Harbledown, and stands on a hill nearly opposite the 
 church. It was established by Archbishop Lanfranc, in 1084, as an 
 asylum for lepers. It consists of a chapel, a common hall, and 
 twenty-one houses for the brethren and sisters, having gardens 
 attached. The establishment consists of a master, the Venerable Arch- 
 deacon Croft ; a chaplain, the Rev. R. B. Bunce ; a steward, Mr. George 
 Austin (steward of St. John's) ; and thirty brethren and sisters, nine 
 of whom are non-residents. Independent of these, there are nineteen 
 poor persons retiding in Lambeth, who receive quarterly six shillings 
 each, from an annuity of 80. charged on the revenue of the see, and 
 paid by th archbishop. The original endowment from the founder 
 was about 140. annually: subsequently its possessions have received

 considerable additions, by grants of land from different mouarchs and 
 prelates ; but it had no regular and annual endowment until the time 
 of Archbishop Islip, who, in 1355, confirmed an annual payment of 
 160., arising from lands and property in Reculver. It is supported 
 chiefly by the rents arising out of houses and lands left, from time to 
 time, by different individuals; added to which it receives annual bene- 
 factions from various charities. The total income is about '248. The 
 inmates receive about 7 . a-year each, 'which they say is not enough 
 to provide sufficient food for them ; and much dissatisfaction appears 
 to exist among them, in consequence of their not receiving their money 
 regularly ; and they appear to be under an impression, that part of the 
 benefactions left for them is kept back, respecting which it is in con- 
 templation among them to make application to the archbishop. Accord- 
 ing to Mr. Finch's report on Canterbury, in the thirtieth report of the 
 commissioners for inquiring concerning charities in 1836, it seems that 
 of 500. consols left by Archbishop Seeker to this hospital, "nothing 
 is known, nor does it appear how it was disposed of." 
 
 Eastbridge Hospital, otherwise Kingsbridge Hospital, is situated in 
 the south side of the High-street, towards Westgate ; its foundation is 
 attributed to Thomas a Becket, in the time of Henry II., and was 
 established for the reception of poor travelling pilgrims. It consists of 
 a master, five in -brothers and five in-sisters, five out-brothers and five 
 out-sisters. Part of the proceeds is employed in support of a school, 
 established by Archbishop Whitgift, for the instruction of twenty poor 
 children ; and who ordained that the archbishop, for the time being, 
 should appoint a master to instruct them in the ordinary branches of 
 education. It was this prelate who converted the hospital into an 
 asylum for the poor and indigent. At one time the stock of this 
 hospital amounted to ,2624. consols ; this has decreased from time 
 to time ; and its annual income, arising from funded property, and the 
 yearly receipts from different charities, amounts to about ,415.; out 
 of which the in-brothers and sisters receive annually 25. each ; and 
 the out-brothers and sisters 3. a-year each. The allowance to the 
 master is \ 15. yearly, and that to the schoolmaster 6. 10s. only ; 
 6. 13*. 4d. is paid for two scholarships at Rennet College, Cambridge ; 
 all repairs are provided for out of the annual revenue ; the whole being 
 under the management of the Archbishop of Canterbury for the time 
 being. The master is the Rev. John Bows Bunce. 
 
 Jesus' Hospital is a brick building, forming three sides of a square, 
 pleasantly situated on the west side of the road, leading to the Isle of
 
 62 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 Thnnet, and not far from St. John's Hospital ; being built at a consi- 
 derable elevation above the foot-path. The dwellings are comfortable 
 and commodious, and each inmate has possession of a piece of ground, 
 at the back of the hospital, for cultivation, as gardens : they appear to 
 take delight in this amusement, laying out very tastefully these gardens, 
 which are well supplied with fruit-trees. To each dwelling is also 
 attached a wood-house, for the reception of faggots of wood for the 
 inmates. In the centre is the chapel, in which the Claviger reads 
 prayers twice a-day, for which he has an extra allowance. The hospi- 
 tal was founded in 1595, by Sir John Boys, and endowed with lands to 
 a considerable amount, for the support of from twelve to twenty poor 
 and impotent persons, to be appointed by him and his executors, and 
 to include two nearest of kin ; and for the education and clothing 
 of a certain number of poor boys. The establishment consists of a, 
 warden, eight brethren, including the Claviger, who must be one of 
 them, four sisters, and a nurse. The warden has a house set apart for 
 his own use; his duty is to superintend the management of the hospi- 
 tal, and is required to live on the establishment ; lately, the duty of 
 teaching the boys has been performed by the Claviger, who is appointed 
 by the Dean of Canterbury. The number of boys in the school is 
 twelve ; their ages from twelve to fourteen ; they are poor boys, selected 
 from the parishes of St. Mary Northgate, St. Mildred, St. Alphage, 
 Holy Cross Westgate, St. Dunstan, and St. Paul ; the number from 
 each being determined according to the amount of population. These 
 boya remain in the school about two years each, during which time each 
 receives two complete suits of clothes, and every year two of them are 
 apprenticed out with a premium of ]7- each ; formerly four were put 
 out; however, at present, from there not being sufficient to give ade- 
 quate premiums to four boys, two only are apprenticed, the boys draw- 
 ing lots for precedence. The total annual receipts, arising from the lands, 
 &c. belonging to the hospital, amount to about .584. The annual 
 expenses of the school, the repairs, and incidental expenses, amount to 
 about ^122. ; and of the remainder, i\2. is divided, in proper pro- 
 portions, between the brothers and sisters, leaving a surplus of about 
 50. It may perhaps be worthy of remark, that the boys who were 
 to have been apprenticed in 1804, were deprived of that excellent 
 advantage, in consequence of the warden at that time absconding with 
 about \7'2. 4s. od. : and thus it is that humanity and benevolence 
 are often insulted and abused by selfishness and dishonesty. The 
 present warden is Mr. John Marsh Wood, who resides at a house adjoin-

 Sir Roger Manwood's Hospital is situated at St. Stephen's, 
 properly Hackington, about a mile and a half north- west of Canterbury. 
 It consists of a row of brick houses, six of which are under one roof, 
 having a court in front, and gardens behind, and the seventh is a public 
 house, in some measure separated from the others, and is occupied by 
 the parish clerk, for the time being. It was erected in compliance with 
 a will of Sir Roger Manwood, dated December, 1592, for giving shelter 
 to six poor and aged people of both sexes, all of whom were to dine in 
 his hall every Sunday, that each should have weekly, on Friday, one 
 shilling given in money, a penny loaf on every Wednesday and Sun- 
 day, to be given by the parish clerk, from off a shelf over his tomb in 
 the parish church, and yearly four loads of fuel. The archdeacon has 
 the power of nomination, if the owner of the Hackington estate neglects 
 to do so within six weeks after the decease of any of the inmates. 
 The annual receipts of this hospital amount to about '26. Gs. Eacli 
 of the alms-people receive about 4. yearly. The trustees of this 
 hospital are, the minister, and the mayor and commonalty, for the 
 time being. 
 
 Maynard's and Cotton's Hospital, or S/jittal, is situated in Hos- 
 pital-lane, leading from Stour-strcet to Castle-street. It consists of 
 tea dwellings united under one roof; seven belonging to Maynard's 
 charity, and three to Cotton's. The old building was blown down in 
 1703, and the present one erected in 1707, by public subscription. 
 Originally it consisted of one house, and a chapel, erected by John 
 Maynard, in 1317, for the support of three brothers and four sisters, 
 and in 1604, one Leonard Cotton added three rooms for the benefit of 
 one poor man and two poor widows. The establishment consists of 
 a master, 10 brothers and sisters, including the prior, who is appointed 
 by the inmates from among themselves ; and whose office is to collect 
 the rents, and divide the shares between the brothers and sisters of 
 both hospitals. A reader is also appointed to perform the service in 
 the chapel. The present annual income of Maynard's Hospital is about 
 ,122. and that of Cotton's 84., arising principally from grants of 
 houses and gardens : this money is shared equally by the brothers and 
 sisters, excepting that the prior receives for his additional services 
 4. 4s. a-year. The fines on leases and renewals are appropriated 
 towards the repairs of the dwellings, and the chapel ; and a portion of 
 the surplus is occasionally divided among the inmates. The present
 
 64 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 master of these hospitals is Richard Frend, Esq., who was appointed 
 in 1807 ; the trustees are the mayor and aldermen for the time being. 
 
 Cogan's Hospital (formerly Cokyn's) is situated on the south side 
 of St. Peter's-street, and consists of six dwellings under one roof, each 
 dwelling having a garden attached. It was founded by John Cogau, 
 who, by his will made in 1657, directed his executors to sell out cer- 
 tain lands which he possessed, and pay the rents in quarterly payments 
 to six poor widows of clergymen, and one "ancient maid," with a 
 salary of ^"6. a-year, to attend upon the others, and clean the rooms ; 
 he also left for them his dwelling-house in St. Peter's to live in. 
 Considerable benefactions have been made to this hospital by charitable 
 individuals; but little being derived from the endowments of the 
 founder, owing to his having died in perplexed circumstances. Each 
 widow receives annually a stipend of 35. ; besides which, each has 
 annually a chaldron of coals ; they have also divided between them, 
 fifteen shillings on St. Peter's day, and Hearnes" benefaction of 3. 
 16*. annually. The property is vested in the mayor and five senior 
 aldermen for the time being, though the appointment of the widows is 
 exercised by mutual consent, by the trustees of Aucher's Charity. 
 
 Harris 1 Almshouses are situated in Wincheap, in the parish of St. 
 Mildred, and consists of five dwellings under one roof, with a garden 
 at the back. They were built by Thomas Harris, in 1726, and en- 
 dowed for the support of five poor parishioners ; two of St. Mary 
 Magdalen, two of Thannington, and one of St. Mildred, above the 
 ages of fifty, and not receiving parochial relief. The annual income 
 arising from the property belonging to this hospital amounts to 50., 
 which is equally divided amongst the inmates, after paying the expenses 
 of repairs, which on an average amounts to . a-year ; 80 that the 
 share of each is about 9. The property is vested in six trustees ; the 
 Rev. William Chafy, D.D., John Partridge, the Rev. Richard Harris 
 Barham, Edward Scudamore, M.D., John Abbott, and John Buckton, 
 who audit and manage the accounts, and appoint almspeople. 
 
 Smith's Hospital, or almshouses, is situated near St. Martin's Hill, 
 at Longport. It consists of eight dwellings under one roof, having a 
 fore-court and wall in front. It was built by Mr. John Smith, who 
 left, 1 644, by will, 200 to be expended in its erection, and 32, the 
 yearly rent of certain lands belonging to him, to be divided equally in 
 quarterly payments, between four old men and four old women of the 
 manor of Longport, to be maintained in the said hospital ; these to be 
 chosen by the holders of his manors and property. Ann Smith, the
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 65 
 
 wife of the last-mentioned testator, also left the yearly rent of certain 
 pieces of land, called Gutterridge and Callcott Downs, part of Webster 
 Marsh, Great Abbott's Heath, and other land in Bridge, out of the 
 annual rent of which, 32. \vas to be equallyjdivided in quarterly pay- 
 ments, between the inmates of the above-mentioned hospital, and 20. 
 annually to be given to the minister of St. Paul's for preaching a ser- 
 mon every Sunday afternoon. Other benefactions have been made to 
 this charity. The annual sum equally divided between the eight alms- 
 people is 97. 4*. In six years forty-three poor boys have been 
 apprenticed at an expense of 636. ; this is provided for from the sur- 
 plus of the rents, according to the will of the testatrix.

 Bridger's Almshouses. On the east of the cattle-market is a row 
 of houses, known by the name of Bridger's Almshouses : but they have 
 long since lost their title to that appellation. They were erected in 
 1778, in pursuance of the will of Mrs. Sarah Bridger, who likewise 
 endowed them for the support of six poor women ; this money was 
 never applied, but was squandered away at the gaming-table, by a 
 young man of the family, who is now in a lunatic asylum. The houses 
 were claimed by the proprietor of the land, and are now let at an 
 annual rent to poor people.

 Poor Priests' Hospital. This Hospital, or Bridewell as it is now 
 called, is made use of as a workhouse, or receptacle for the poor of 
 the city, having been vested in the guardians of the poor by an act of 
 Parliament in the first year of the reign of George II. It was founded

 year 1240, for the purpose of affording protection to poor and decayed 
 priests. In 1576 Elizabeth granted the hospital, together with all the 
 lands and estates belonging to it, to the Mayor and commonalty. The

 SCHOOLS. 
 
 The King's Free Grammar School is situated within 
 the precincts of the ville of Christchurch, at the north 
 corner of the Green Court, where formerly the mint 
 stood. It was founded by King Henry VIII. for the 
 education of fifty boys, between the ages of nine and 
 fifteen, from all parts of the kingdom. It is under the 
 management of the Dean and Chapter, and is conducted 
 by an upper and an under master; each scholar receives
 
 80 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 a stipend of 41. a year. This school enjoys a variety of 
 scholarships and exhibitions. At this school were edu- 
 cated the following distinguished men : Dr. William 
 Harvey; Dr. Marsh, bishop of Peterborough ; and 
 Lord Tenterden. 
 
 The National Schools. The building in which these 
 schools are held is situated in St. Dunstan's, and was 
 used formerly as a county jail, previous to the erection 
 of the new jail at Longport. It is a large brick build- 
 ing, and is very commodious. The schools were esta- 
 blished in 1812, and are supported by voluntary contri- 
 butions. The children, among whom are 203 boys, 
 171 girls, and 171 infants, are those of the poorer 
 classes; they are under the care and superintendence 
 of a master and two mistresses, who are appointed by a 
 committee. This foundation was endowed to consider- 
 able extent, in 1828, by John Tillard; for particulars, 
 see "Miscellaneous Charities and Benefactions." 
 
 The Grey-Coat School is a public charity, of about 
 100 years old, and was established for the education of 
 thirty boys and thirty girls, who are likewise clothed 
 gratuitously. It is supported by subscription and en- 
 dowments. The principal support is derived from the 
 members of the cathedral, which the children attend 
 every Sunday. The school is conducted by a master, 
 at whose residence, in St. Paul's, the school is held. 
 The visitors are the Dean and the Archdeacon of Can- 
 terbury, and the treasurer is Mr. Kempton. 
 
 Besides these, other schools exist for the education 
 of poor children, which are endowed by benevolent 
 individuals, who have from time to time left provision 
 for their establishment and support ; these will be found 
 in our general account of public charities,
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 
 
 THE GUILDHALL. 
 
 A Town-Hall, or Speck-house, or 3footha.ll, was 
 first erected in 1318, and was formerly in the ancient 
 ward of Newingate, the site of the present Corn Market. 
 The present hall, situated at the corner of Guildhall- 
 street, was erected in 1439, and re-edified in 1688 ; in 
 1697, the south end was newly built. The front, or 
 principal entrance, is handsome, and consists of a pedi- 
 ment supported by four Corinthian pilasters on a rustic 
 base. The interior consists of a large court hall, of 
 rather antique appearance ; the sides are decorated with 
 ancient pikes, matchlocks, and other weapons of defence, 
 which were taken from Lady Wotton's palace at the time 
 of Cromwell. At the south end is a gallery, which is 
 ascended by a flight of wooden stairs on either side. 
 The north end is decorated with pictures, said to be 
 portraits of Queen Anne, Sir John Boys, and others, 
 benefactors to the city. The council room, which is 
 also used by the sitting magistrates, and the depository 
 of the city archives, is situated at the north end. 
 Under the gallery, on each side of the entrance, are 
 two rooms, one for prisoners during the holding of the 
 session, and the other for juries. 
 
 THE CORN AND HOP EXCHANGE 
 
 Is situate in St. George's, occupying the site of the old 
 shambles, and was erected by public subscription, aided 
 by the corporation, in 1824. This building, which is 
 commodious and well adapted, owes its existence to the 
 serious inconveniences formerly felt by the farmers and 
 
 E3
 
 82 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 millers of the eastern parts of the county, in not having 
 a place sufficiently extensive for the despatch of busi- 
 ness. The style of the architecture is similar to that of 
 the Guildhall. The area under the building- is used as 
 a vegetable and fruit market, while at the rear, towards 
 Burgate street, stalls are constructed for the sale of 
 meat, &c. The market-day for these commodities is 
 Saturday. 
 
 THE FISH MARKET 
 
 STANDS on the west side of St. Margaret street, and was 
 first erected in 1480 by the corporation, and enlarged 
 ia 1520. It was pulled down, and the present market 
 built on the site. The style of the exterior is Grecian 
 Doric, and it consists of a pediment supported by four 
 fluted columns. The stalls in the interior are built of 
 stone, and on the west side is a pump for the convenience 
 of the market people. 
 
 THE CATTLE MARKET 
 
 Is held on the spot of ground under the city wall, be- 
 tween Ridingate and the site of St. George's gate, at the 
 east end of St. George's street. The market-day is 
 Saturday, weekly; when it is plentifully supplied with 
 horses, pigs, sheep, and horned cattle. 
 
 THE BUTTER MARKET 
 
 Is held on the site of the ancient market cross and 
 hull-stake*, which was removed in 1645. The building 
 
 * The butchers of this city used formerly to amuse themselves and 
 their neighbours by baiting their bulls at this stake, in order to soften 
 down the toughness of their flesh.
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 83 
 
 consists of an oval roof with two lights in the centre, 
 and is supported by nineteen iron columns. The market- 
 day is Saturday, when butter, poultry, and eggs, are 
 brought in plenty from the neighbouring villages. 
 
 FAIRS. 
 
 THE principal fair, anciently culled Jack and Joan Fair, 
 from its being then a fair for the hiring of servants, is 
 a statute fair, and is held for the sale of toys and various 
 wares, in the Cattle Market, on the tenth of October 
 yearly, and continues for two market days. Another 
 and similar fair is held on Whitsun Tuesday at Win- 
 cheap, and is generally well attended. There are other 
 fairs held frequently, in the different parishes, but they 
 are not worthy of notice. 
 
 THE GAS AND WATER WORKS, 
 
 Kow under the direction of a company, adjoin the old 
 castle in Wincheap, a portion of which ancient pile is 
 used as a depository for the engine and machinery of 
 the works. The water-works were first established in 
 1825, to which were, at a more subsequent period, added 
 the gas department. The supply in general is considered 
 to be good, and as improvements are continually taking 
 place, the city will, no doubt, be efficiently lighted. 
 
 THE CANTERBURY AND WHITSTABLE RAILWAY 
 
 WAS opened for the conveyance of merchandise and 
 passengers to and from Whitstable, on the third of May,
 
 84 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 1830, five years after the establishment of the company, 
 who obtained an Act of Parliament for that purpose. 
 It commences in North-lane, and passes nearly in a 
 straight line to Whitstable, where it terminates at the 
 harbour. It is laid on an embankment of earth to St. 
 Thomas' Hill, where it passes through a tunnel of about 
 half a mile in length, and twelve feet in width ; at the 
 south end of the tunnel the rail is continued in an 
 embankment to Whitstable. The train goes backwards 
 and forwards eight times a day. The Railway is 
 now held on lease granted by the proprietors to Messrs. 
 Nicholson and Baylis for ten years, commencing on the 
 nineteenth of February, 1838. 
 
 THE CITY JAIL. 
 
 WESTGATE has always been employed for the reception 
 of prisoners, but was, a few years ago, found to be inade- 
 quate for that purpose, and the present edifice, which 
 adjoins the gate at the side of Pound-lane, was erected, 
 the foundation of which was laid in 1829. It is a neat 
 building of brick, coped with stone, and is used for the 
 reception of criminals, and the old jail for debtors. 
 The number of prisoners in the jail is seldom more 
 than twenty. 
 
 THE COUNTY JAIL 
 
 Is situated at Longport, adjoining the Kent and Canter- 
 bury hospital, and is an extensive pile of buildings, the 
 front of which is of stone, and quite plain, the only
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 85 
 
 ornament being over the entrance, and such as is appro- 
 priate to jails. The prison contains apartments for the 
 turnkeys, and a house for the governor; in the upper 
 part of this house is the chapel for the prisoners. The 
 hospital is over the rooms of the prisoners. The prison- 
 ers grind their own corn by means of a treadmill, and 
 their bread is baked within the walls of the prison. 
 The prisoners are also occasionally employed in a garden 
 attached to the premises : the whole pile of buildings is 
 enclosed in a brick wall of about twenty feet high. 
 
 THE SESSIONS HOUSE, 
 
 FOR the county, adjoins the county jail. It is a neat 
 building of the Doric order, and ornamented on the 
 exterior with figures of Justice and Mercy over the 
 entrance. The Quarter Sessions for the eastern division 
 of the county are held on the second of January, sixth 
 of April, third of July, and nineteenth of October, and 
 the Petty Sessions on the first Saturday in every month. 
 Within the walls of this building is also held a Court of 
 Commissioners of Sewers four times in the year ; this

 Kent. 
 
 THE KENT AND CANTERBURY HOSPITAL 
 
 Is situated at Longport, in the old cemetery ground of the 
 monastery of St. Augustine. It was first opened for the 
 reception of patients in 1793, and is now undergoing a 
 thorough course of repair. It is supported by private 
 benefactions and annual subscriptions : benefactors of
 
 86 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 twenty guineas and upwards are governors for life ; 
 subscribers of two guineas and upwards are governors 
 during payment. No patients are admitted who are 
 able to pay for advice. When there is a want of con- 
 venience for all patients that are recommended, prefer- 
 ence is given to those recommended by the largest con- 
 tributors. The patients consist of in and out patients. 
 Those who contribute most to the establishment have 
 the privilege of recommending the greatest number. 
 To show the utility of this hospital, it is sufficient to 
 notice that, since the twenty-sixth of April, 1793, there 
 have been admitted 14,835 in, and 21,045 out patients; 
 and the daily average of patients of both classes is about 
 one hundred and ninetv. 
 
 THE CANTERBURY DISPENSARY 
 
 Is situated in Watling-street, and was established in 
 1836, for the purpose of administering advice and medi- 
 cine to the sick poor, either at their own residences or 
 at the dispensary. It affords relief to the " weak and 
 aged, or bed-ridden patient ; to the child suffering under 
 small-pox or measles, or any of the diseases which are 
 properly excluded from the hospital." It is supported 
 by subscriptions and voluntary contributions, and donors 
 of ten pounds and upwards are governors for life. 
 
 PROVIDENT INSTITUTION, OR SAVINGS BANK. 
 
 THIS exceedingly useful institution was established in 
 1816 ; the nature of it is similar to that of a bank, the 
 object being to receive the savings of the industrious,
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 87 
 
 and return them with interest at stated times, that is 
 half-yearly, under which time no deposits can be drawn. 
 Deposits to the amount of fifteen shillings and upwards, 
 produce interest at the rate of 31. 6s, 8d. per cent, per 
 annum. Government annuities from 41. to 201. per 
 annum are granted \ipon single lives. The amount of 
 deposits in the care of the institution is about S3,000/., 
 and the number of depositors is 2792. 
 
 THE CANTERBURY BENEVOLENT FUND 
 
 WAS established in 1819, for the purpose of supplying 
 the poor of the city and suburbs with coals and soup at 
 a cheap rate during the winter months. It is supported 
 by subscription and voluntary contributions, and with 
 the sum so raised coals are purchased, and sold to the 
 poor at half the usual price. The soup was sold to the 
 poor at half the cost price. The advantages of an 
 institution conducted upon such liberal principles must 
 be evident. The annual subscriptions are from fifteen 
 to twenty shillings ; and the number of tickets allowed 
 to a subscriber is in proportion to the sum subscribed. 
 The last distribution of soup amounted to 12,000 quarts 
 at one penny per quart. The distribution for the last 
 two years has been entirely of coals. In the winter 
 months of 1836-7, there were eight deliveries of one 
 hundred and eighty-two tons, and in the last winter 
 there were ten deliveries of two hundred tons. The 
 average annual subscription is about 2QQI.
 
 OO TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 THE CANTERBURY PENNY CHARITY 
 
 WAS established in 1812, at the suggestion of the late 
 Dr. Andrews, at that time dean of Canterbury. Its 
 object is to relieve the poor and distressed, by the dis- 
 tribution of clothing, blankets, and fuel ; this is effected 
 by a " weekly subscription of one penny, carried to an 
 aggregate fund, intrusted to the management of a com- 
 mittee of subscribers ;" and by this concentration of 
 means each subscriber of a penny derives far more 
 influence than that penny could otherwise produce. 
 The average annual amount of subscription is about 10QI. 
 
 THE CANTERBURY LYING-IN CHARITY 
 
 WAS established in 1801 ; since which time it has afforded 
 relief to 3180 poor women. It is supported by annual 
 subscriptions and voluntary contributions. The last 
 year's payments in relief amounted to 154/. 4s. 3d. The 
 balance in favour of the Charity is about 48/. 
 
 FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. 
 
 The United Kentish Britons, held at the Prince of 
 Orange, Orange-street, was established in 1807, for 
 raising a fund to afford relief to its members in case of 
 sickness or infirmity. The subscription of members is 
 six shillings and sixpence per quarter, to be paid two 
 shillings monthly, and sixpence extra every third month. 
 During sickness a member receives fifteen shillings per 
 week; 15/. is allowed for the burial of a member, and 
 51. for a member's wife.
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 89 
 
 The Union Friendly Society, at the Black Dog, 
 Castle-street, was established in 1784, for a similar pur- 
 pose as the last mentioned. None are admitted as 
 members under the age of seventeen, or above thirty ; 
 and the subscription is two shillings per month, with 
 twelve shillings and sixpence entrance. The benefits to 
 be derived are, in times of sickness, in infirmity, such as 
 lameness, blindness, or accidents, the sum of fifteen 
 shillings per week, for twenty-six weeks successively, 
 subject to a reduction should the complaint continue 
 after the expiration of that time ; and five shillings per 
 week when any member has arrived at the age of seventy. 
 On the death of any member 14/. is given, and on the 
 death of the wife of a member 6/. The number of 
 members in December 1837 amounted to 414, and the 
 fund at that time in the hands of the bankers was 8501, 
 
 THE ST. ALPHAGE AMICABLE SOCIETY 
 
 .^VAS instituted in 1832, and meets on the first Thursday 
 in every month, for social and convivial enjoyment, 
 alternately at the Prince of Orange, the Sun Inn, the 
 Seven Stars, and the Prince of Wales. The members 
 consist of those who pay rates to the parish of St. 
 Alphage. 
 
 THE SOCIETY OF PARISH CLERKS 
 
 MEET at the Black Dog in Castle-street, on the twenty- 
 ninth of May every year, for the purpose of dining 
 together in a friendly manner. It was established in 
 1223, consequently the next anniversary will be the 
 six hundred and sixteenth.

 THE STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY 
 
 WAS established in 1815, for the purpose of visiting and 
 relieving the sick and distressed poor at their respective 
 houses in and about Canterbury, and in imparting to 
 them what instruction and consolation are gleaned from 
 religion. The institution is conducted by a treasurer, 
 two secretaries, and fifteen committee men. It is sup- 
 ported by quarterly and monthly subscriptions and dona- 
 tions. In 1837, according to the last report, one hun- 
 dred and fifty poor people were relieved. 
 
 The Freemasons meet at the King's Head, High- 
 street. Their secretary is Mr. W. M. Sraithson. 
 
 The Odd Fellows meet at the City Arms, North- 
 gate, every Tuesday evening at eight o'clock. The 
 secretary is Mr. Richard Sacket. 
 
 The Druids meet at the White Lion, St. George's, 
 every Monday evening at nine o'clock. 
 
 The Prussian Hermits meet at the Crown and 
 Sceptre, St. Peter's-street, every Wednesday evening at 
 eight o'clock. 
 
 THE KENT AND CANTERBURY HORTICULTURAL AND 
 FLORAL SOCIETY 
 
 WAS establishedthis year (1838), for the encouragement 
 of Horticulture. It consists of a Patroness, a President, 
 thirty Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, Secretary, and a 
 Committee of twelve members. The annual subscrip- 
 tion is ten shillings and upwards, which entitles a sub- 
 scriber to exhibit. An annual meeting is held on the 
 first Thursday in October, and three or four exhibitions 
 take place during the year at the Corn Exchange.

 THE BARRACKS, 
 
 FOR the Cavalry, are an extensive range of %rick build- 
 ings forming three sides of a triangle with sloping slated 
 roofs, and occupying about sixteen acres of land, situated 
 about three-fourths of a mile from Canterbury, on the 
 road to the Isle of Thanet ; and were erected in 1794. 
 The cost of their erection was 40,000/. ; the whole is 
 enclosed within iron palisades. The Infantry barracks 
 adjoining the former are of a similar description, and are 
 capable of affording accommodation for 2000 men ; they 
 were erected in 1798, at the expense of Wm. Buldock 
 and Thomas De Lasaux, Esquires. 
 
 THE POST OFFICE 
 
 Is in St. George's-street. Letters from London arrive 
 by the Mail at a quarter past three A. M., and are de- 
 spatched hence to London at half past eleven p. M. ; 
 from Dover at half past eleven p. M., to Dover at half 
 past three A. M. ; from Ashford at ten p. M., to Ashford 
 at four A. M. The city delivery takes place at seven 
 o'clock in summer, and in winter at eight o'clock. The 
 letter-box is kept open til nine P. M. 
 
 THE PHILOSOPHICAL INSTITUTION.; 
 
 THIS institution, situated in Guildhall-street, was 
 established in 1825 by subscription. It consists of a 
 Library of about 2200 volumes, an extensive Museum 
 of natural and artificial curiosities, chiefly illustrative of 
 Natural History, and a Lecture-room capable of holding
 
 92 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 about a hundred persons, and in which lectures are de- 
 livered on Tuesday evenings at eight o'clock ; the season 
 commence^ in September and closes about May. The 
 front is a handsome portico, consisting of four Ionic 
 columns, and the windows are in the Egyptian style. 
 
 LIBRARIES AND READING ROOMS. 
 
 THERE are two public libraries and reading-rooms in 
 this city ; they are Colegate's and Barnes' Libraries, the 
 former situate on the Parade and the other in St. Mar- 
 garet-street, and well stocked with books and supplied 
 with newspapers and magazines. They are supported 
 by subscription on a similar plan to public reading-rooms 
 in other parts of the kingdom. 
 
 NEWSPAPERS. 
 
 THERE were, not long ago, five weekly newspapers 
 published in Canterbury, two of which were in the 
 Liberal interest ; one of these latter, the Kentish Chro- 
 nicle, is no longer published. The Kentish Gazette, 
 with a circulation of 750 wlekly, was established in 
 1780. The Kent Herald, with a weekly circulation of 
 1125, was established in 1832. The Kentish Observer 
 circulates 692 weekly, and was established in 1832. 
 The Canterbury Journal, established in 1836, and de- 
 voted chiefly to farming intelligence, has a weekly circu- 
 lation of about 692.

 PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS. 
 
 The Assembly Rooms. These handsome and spacious 
 rooms are situate in St. Margaret-street, adjoining- Messrs. 
 Halford and Go's. bank. They are used for " Concerts, 
 Balls, and Routs," and it is here that in the mellow 
 month of August the belles and beaux of this part of 
 Kent meet to celebrate the " County Balls." The City, 
 too, is not backwards in this healthy recreation, but holds 
 balls in the months of January and February. 
 
 The Theatre, situated in Orange-street, is a neat 
 building, having for its principal entrance a portico in 
 the Grecian Doric taste ; the style of the windows is 
 Egyptian, surmounted by ornamental tablets. The 
 interior is of pleasing appearance. The season begins 
 about the month of November, and concludes in 
 February, under the management of Mr. John Sloman ; 
 independently of which, theatrical representations take 
 place during the race week in August. 
 
 The Catch and Glee Club has been established about 
 57 years, and affords much social and agreeable pastime 
 to the citizens of Canterbury. It is supported by sub- 
 scription. This club holds a concert at the Guildhall 
 Tavern every Wednesday evening during the winter, 
 when non-residents are admitted upon payment of an 
 admission fee of one shilling and six-pence. 
 
 The Apollonian Catch dub is of a similar character 
 to the last, and holds its meetings at the Prince of 
 Orange, every Friday evening during the winter season 
 The admission is one shilling to non-subscribers : It is 
 worthy of remark, that the combination of amateur mu- 
 sical talent exhibited at both these societies is rarely to 
 be surpassed by any similar associations in the country.
 
 94 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OP CAKTERBtRlf. 
 
 The Dane John. In the south-east part of the city* 
 between the old castle and Ridingate, is a large piece of 
 pleasure-ground, in which is a lofty and extensive mound 
 of earth, which has been supposed to have been thrown 
 up by the Danes, and employed for the purposes of a 
 watch-tower or keep, and called by the word Donjon, 
 which has been corrupted to the term Dane John, the 
 name by which it is generally known. About 48 years 
 ago, this field was an uncultivated waste, until James 
 Simmons, Esq., an alderman at that time, undertook, 
 among the many improvements effected by him in the 
 city, to renovate this field, which he at his own cost laid 
 out as a public walk. Some time after,'"it fell to decay, 
 and was restored by Mr. Alderman Bunce. From 
 Watling-street to Northgate is a gravelled walk thirteen 
 feet wide and one thousand one hundred and thirty long, 
 planted on each side with lofty lime trees ; on the right 
 of this pleasant promenade, the lawn is planted with 
 flowers, arranged in beds, and on the left is a snn-dial 
 supported by a marble pedestal ornamented with sculp- 
 tured figures representing the Seasons, and executed by 
 a native artist of the name of Weeks, who has lately 
 made great advances in his art. A little further is the 
 mound ornamented by a walk ascending to the top, and 
 hedged with hawthorn ; on the summit of this mound, 
 from which is a complete view of the Cathedral, tower- 
 ing high above the surrounding houses, is a cenotaph 
 to the memory of the worthy alderman who so gene- 
 rously made this place a source of delight to his fellow 
 citizens and their successors. 
 
 The Botanical Gardens and Nursery Grounds. Be- 
 sides the Dane John field, there is a spot to which the 
 citizen and tradesman may repair and find a grateful

 relief from the toil and fatigue of mercantile pursuits ; 
 nay, from which all classes may derive enjoyment, the 
 Botanical Gardens of Mr. Alderman Masters* to whose 
 good taste and scientific judgment, the order and proper 
 arrangement of the various species of plants with their 
 kind, fully bear witness. The gardens are well stocked 
 with plants of every variety of character, and when in 
 bloom present a very rich and gaudy appearance. These 
 grounds are celebrated for being the situation of a chaly- 
 beate or mineral spring, formerly of great repute from 
 the efficacy of the waters in cases of ague, rheumatism, 
 and gout ; and in restoring weak and debilitated constitu- 
 tions, but which has now fallen somewhat into disuse. 
 
 Tea Gardens, Bowling Greens, fyc. There are two 
 very extensive Tea Gardens in Canterbury, which are 
 much resorted to during the summer. They are " the 
 Old Palace Tea Gardens," at St. Augustine's, and " Kid- 
 man's Tea Gardens," in St. Peter's, adjoining the Poor 
 Priests' Hospital. The chief amusements they afford 
 are tennis, fives, bowls, rackets, and skittles, for which 
 sports the grounds are well adapted. There are also 
 gardens of public resort attached to the Beverley Arms, 
 St. Stephen's. 
 
 Cricket Clubs. The Beverley Cricket Club meet 
 every Monday and Friday evenings, at the Beverley 
 Arms ; secretary Mr. John Fagg. The Old Park 
 Cricket Club meet at the Old Park, near St. Martin's 
 Hill, every Wednesday evening. 
 
 Billiards. There is a billiard table at the " O hi 
 Palace " before-mentioned, and one at the Waterloo 
 Tavern, near the barracks ; also two slate tables, very 
 much frequented, belonging to Mr. Wood, one situated 
 in Guildhall Street, and the other in the High Street.
 
 98 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 Besides these amusements, there are Cigar Divans in 
 different parts of the city. 
 
 The Bathing Establishment, which is the only one 
 in Canterbury, is in Burgate Street. It is a very exten- 
 sive suite of rooms, fitted up with every convenience for 
 all kinds of bathing. The charges are very moderate. 
 
 MISCELLANEA. 
 
 The Chequers Inn. At the corner of Mercery Lane, 
 in the High-street, is an extensive building, known by 
 the name of Chaucer's Inn ; it is now converted into 
 shops, but was formerly an inn; the same mentioned by 
 Chaucer as being the one to which the pilgrims came 
 from the " Talbot," in Southwark, London, to visit the 
 shrine of St. Thomas-a-Becket. It is a good specimen 
 of the architecture of the time, and though now 600 
 years old, will still withstand many a wintry blast. It 
 appears to have been built in the form of a quadrangle, 
 having an open court-yard in the middle. The stories, 
 or suites of rooms, projected in front over one another, 
 and were supported by pillars, forming a colonnade, 
 which has been removed. 
 
 Sir Thomas Mare's House. In Orange-street are 
 the remains of the house of Sir Thomas More. It was 
 a spacious and noble building, built in the form of a 
 quadrangle, having the entrance through a large gate- 
 way, now standing on the south side of the street ; in 
 front of the house, and between the two wings, was a 
 large court-yard, which is now called Dancing School 
 Yard. The building is principally of wood, with gable 
 front, and a long range of windows extending all along 
 the front of the building, very much ornamented with
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 99 
 
 stained glass, of which little remains. The rooms are 
 spacious, and ornamented with carved mouldings or 
 cornices. The walls were painted in fresco, as appears 
 from the wall of the upper apartment, in which may 
 be seen some very good designs. The whole building 
 is now converted into a wool warehouse. 
 
 The Hotels and Inns in Canterbury are numerous, 
 and some of them very respectable ; among the first are 
 the Fountain, St. Margarets ; Rose, Parade ; Fleur-de- 
 lis, High- street ; King's Head, High-street ; Lion, 
 High -street ; and the Star, St. George's-place. Among 
 the Inns and Taverns are the Guildhall Tavern, Guild- 
 hall-street ; Fleece, Parade ; Falstajf, St. Dunstan's ; 
 Sun, Sun-street; Queen's Head, Watling-street; Crown, 
 Burgate ; besides these there are several other houses 
 where travellers can be accomodated at reasonable 
 charges.

 102 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 HERNE BAY. 
 
 THIS delightful and rapidly improving watering-place, 
 according to the testimony of ancient county historians, 
 is said to have derived its name from the circumstance 
 of its once-weedy shores having been a resort for herons 
 and other wild fowl, which have long since disappeared ; 
 while others trace it to the Saxon word hyrne, or hurne, 
 signifying a nook or corner. It is situated in the parish 
 of Herne ; in the hundred of St. Augustine and lathe 
 of Scray. The salubrity of the air at Herne Bay has 
 almost become proverbial, and therefore forms one of its 
 chief sources of attraction. The population is returned 
 with that of the parish, which by the census of 1831 
 amounted to 1876 inhabitants. 
 
 The TOWN is built on a gentle elevation commanding 
 a boundless prospect of the ocean, and extends along the 
 shore for about a mile from east to west. Its distance from 
 Canterbury is about 8*- miles, Margate 15, Ramsgate 
 17, and from Dover 24 miles. On the western side of 
 the pier, and on the parade, is a long line of handsome 
 shops, spacious within, and finished in a superior style. 
 This range of buildings has a frontage of 230 feet taken 
 on the beach, and one story in height ; so designed in 
 order to prevent their obstructing the view of the ocean 
 from St. George's-terrace : these buildings are flanked 
 at one end by an assembly-room of magnificent dimen- 
 sions, together with reading and billiard rooms. 
 
 THE ROYAL PIER, which imposingly stretches out 
 as it were into the very bosom of the waters, forms one 
 of the distinguishing features of the bay. It was com- 
 menced in the middle of the year 1831, after a design 
 by that eminent engineer, the late Thomas Telford,
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 103 
 
 Esq. ; its extreme length from the shore to the sea is 
 3000 feet ; the head is in the shape of a T, and runs 
 parallel with the shore, 400 feet, and forms an efficient 
 breakwater from the force of winds and tides. The width 
 of the pier is 24 feet ; the whole is constructed with 
 great strength and solidity. A sailing carriage, which 
 runs upon iron grooves over the centre of the pier, is 
 used for the purpose of conveying passengers and their 
 luggage to and from the steamers. 
 
 THE PARADE, which is well worthy the spirit that 
 conceived and adopted the excellent plans for rendering 
 this bay a place of resort at once select and conducive 
 to comfort, is fifty feet wide, running nearly the whole 
 length of the town facing the sea, and was undertaken 
 at great expense. It is constructed a few feet above the 
 pebbled beach, is of a firm gravelly consistence, and 
 furnished with iron balustrades. 
 
 THE CHURCH, which is only intended for temporary 
 accommodation, until the large church, some time since 
 commenced, is completed, stands before a space of ground 
 intended hereafter to be called St. James's-square. It 
 was lately purchased for 3000/. The church is in the 
 Gothic style, and is of rather graceful appearance. The 
 four corners of the building are surmounted by short 
 spire-shaped ornaments : a full-size figure of our Saviour 
 is placed in the centre division over the entrance door, 
 and two other figures adorn niches on each side. 
 Within, this building is remarkable for the simplicity 
 of its arrangements ; it is extremely light, and the 
 gallery is furnished with a small organ. Attached to 
 this building, on each side, are two spacious school-rooms, 
 the one for boys, and the other for girls. The large 
 church alluded to, occupies a site of ground marked out
 
 104 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 for Oxendon-square, granted for this purpose by Sir 
 Henry Oxendon, who holds considerable interest in the 
 lands in the neighbourhood. 
 
 THE DISSENTING CHAPEL stands at the east end of 
 the town. It is a small, low, neat building, in the Gothic 
 taste, capable of accommodating about 400 persons. 
 The congregation supports a school for the education 
 of forty children. At present this chapel is in disuse. 
 
 THE CLOCK TOWER, lately erected at the sole ex- 
 pense of Mrs. Ann Thwaites, at a cost of nearly 4000/., 
 and opened on the 3rd of October 1837 with great 
 ' pomp and circumstance,' stands conspicuously fronting 
 the sea adjoining the parade, about equi-distant from 
 the two extremities of the town ; the design is that of 
 Edwin James Dangerfield, Esq., the architect, a resident 
 at the Bay, who has exhibited great taste and judg- 
 ment in its construction. It forms a considerable archi- 
 tectural ornament to the town. 
 
 ST. GEORGE'S PROMENADE, which is adjacent to the 
 Clock-tower, consists of a plot of ground laid out as a 
 shrubbery, having gravel walks, and in the centre a 
 fancifully constructed Chinese cottage of circular form, 
 with a viranda surrounding it, from whence the visitor 
 may hare an uninterrupted view of the sea, or with a 
 book in hand pleasantly while away an occasional hour. 
 The whole is enclosed by iron railings. 
 
 LEE'SLIBRARY is between the Pier Hotel and Dolphin 
 Inn. The proprietor, Mr. Oliver Lee, has been at great 
 expense in erecting this building upon a plan calculated 
 to promote the comfort and convenience of the visitors. 
 It is now nearly completed. The amusements consist 
 of morning and evening concerts, raffling, and all the 
 adjuncts peculiar to a first-rate establishment.
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 105 
 
 BANKS' LIBRARY, Marine-terrace, kept by Mrs. 
 Banks, (who is post-rnistress) at the eastern end of the 
 Bay, has been established nearly twenty years, and con- 
 sists chiefly of a library of circulation. 
 
 THE ST. GEORGE'S BATHS are situated on the parade, 
 and form part of the long line of handsome shops noticed 
 in a preceding 1 page. They comprise a suite of bathing 
 rooms, designed and constructed by a skilful engineer, 
 with machinery which is said to be unsurpassed by others 
 of their sort. Attached, are bathing-machines ; and 
 every necessary requisite may here be found. 
 
 There is another Bathing Establishment near the 
 Ship Inn, which is likewise amply furnished with con- 
 venient apartments. The charges here, it may be men- 
 tioned, are somewhat more moderate than at the other 
 establishment. 
 
 The facilities for sea-bathing at Herne Bay are supe- 
 rior to those offered at many of the watering-places on 
 this coast ; the shore is so free from mud and weed, and 
 so gradual in its inclination to the sea, that safety is 
 ensured at all times of the tide. 
 
 THE HOTELS AND INNS are on a scale of elegance 
 and magnitude, combined with luxury, comfort, and 
 economy, which are a subject of general remark by 
 the frequenters of watering-places of these there are 
 four, viz.: The Pier Hotel, Kent Hotel, Dolphin Inn, 
 and Ship Inn. Independent of their recommendations as 
 to "comfort; convenience, and economy," the first three 
 of these form prominent architectural features in the 
 town, and are nearly the first objects that meet the eye 
 on the approach from the pier. 
 
 To the man of more circumscribed means, to whom 
 homeliness of fare is not incompatible with enjoyment 
 F 3
 
 106 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 on the coast, other houses on a smaller scale, though 
 not the less deserving attention, are available, these 
 are the Albion Inn, King's Head, New Dolphin, Rod- 
 ney's Head, &c. 
 
 THE LODGING HOUSES are numerous, fitted up with 
 an eye to taste and comfort, and during the season are 
 always in requisition. The first-class houses of this 
 description are those which form St. George s and Tel- 
 ford Terraces ; the second-rates are those in St. 
 Augustine's and Marine Terraces ; while among the 
 third-rates, may be classed the houses and shops around 
 the town, almost every one of which is furnished with 
 accommodations at prices corresponding with their size 
 and the grade of visitors. 
 
 THE POST OFFICE is kept by Mrs. Banks, at the 
 library. Letters arrive from London and other parts 
 through the medium of the Canterbury Post-office 
 every morning at half-past seven. The delivery at the 
 Bay takes place from eight to ten A.M. The rate of 
 postage to and from Canterbury is one penny, a distance 
 of about eight and a half miles. 
 
 THE WALKS AND DRIVES are numerous and plea- 
 sant in every direction, and afford those varieties in 
 nature's aspects, adapted to the different tastes and 
 peculiarities of the respective visitors : towards the 
 west is a very agreeable walk along the shore, through 
 cultivated fields to Whitstable, about five miles in extent, 
 and a similar one eastward, towards the ancient village 
 and church of Reculver, of between three and four miles. 
 To the little village of Herne, along the high road to 
 Canterbury, is also a very pleasant walk or drive through 
 a succession of green lanes, diversified on each side by 
 neat and elegant villas and cottage residences situated
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 10J 
 
 in the midst of a well -cultivated country, abounding in 
 verdant undulations ; indeed, whichever way the pedes- 
 trian may direct his footsteps, his labour will be amply 
 rewarded. 
 
 THE ' HERNE BAY PIER COMPANY' was incorpo- 
 rated by Act of Parliament, 1 William IV. The amount 
 raised was 50,000^., in shares of 50/. each. The con- 
 struction of this convenient place of landing has tended 
 much to raise this watering-place in general estimation ; 
 excursions are frequently made in the summer. Those 
 splendid steamers, the RED ROVER, and CITY OF 
 CANTERBURY, embark passengers here every day, 
 each taking turn on alternate days in the season, and 
 during the winter months three times a week. The 
 establishment of these packets has not only answered 
 the views of the speculators, but opened a more eco- 
 nomical and expeditious communication with the 
 whole of the eastern part of Kent than had hitherto 
 existed. 
 
 PLEASURE BOATS are kept ready on the beach for 
 the convenience of those who are fond of aquatic sports, 
 and who love to inhale the invigorating and healthful 
 breezes of the ocean in their native purity. 
 
 COACHES, VANS, AND OMNIBUSES, are in daily 
 attendance at the pier, awaiting the arrival of the packet 
 from the metropolis, and convey passengers and lug- 
 gage to Canterbury, Dover, Deal, Margate, Rams- 
 gate, &c. 
 
 VANS, FLYS, AND PHAETONS, may always be had 
 for short trips of pleasure, by the day or hour, on 
 moderate terms.
 
 108 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 HERNE, 
 
 Hearne, or Herne-street, is a village, adjoining- the 
 parish of Sturry on the north, in the parish of the same 
 name. The length of the parish from north to south 
 is about two miles, and the breadth from east to west 
 about six. It is situated in the archbishop's manor of 
 Reculver, whose steward holds a court-baron there every 
 year. It stands in about the centre of the parish, in a 
 sheltered situation, and is rather remarkable for the 
 rural repose and rustic simplicity which reign around, 
 than for the neatness which is sought for in the dwellings 
 of the cottagers. Its distance from Herne Bay is about 
 one mile and three quarters, and from Canterbury about 
 six miles and a half. The church stands at the southern 
 extremity of the village. It is a large, ancient, and 
 handsome structure, with an embattled tower, contain- 
 ing six bells. The body consists of a nave, two side 
 aisles, and three chancels. In the great chancel are 
 still to be seen some stalls used by the ancient Popish 
 ministers. Here is a very antique stone font, several 
 escutcheons of arms, monumental records, and some 
 brasses. The celebrated Bishop Ridley, who was burned 
 at Oxford with Bishop Latimer, in 1555, in the reign 
 of Mary, was collated, by his patron, Archbishop Cran- 
 mer, to the vicarage of Herne, in 1538. 
 
 At one of the extremities of the village is Strode- 
 house, the seat of George May Esq., one of the magis- 
 trates for this division of the county. It is a spacious 
 and handsome mansion, surrounded by a park of some 
 extent. 
 
 The population is returned with that of the parish
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 109 
 
 (see ' Herne Bay.') The parish comprises 4560 acres ; 
 the number of inhabited houses is 295. A fair is held 
 on Easter Tuesday. 
 
 WHITSTABLE 
 
 Is a small sea-port town on the east of Sheppey, 
 situated in the hundred of Whitstaple. In ancient records 
 it is styled Northwood, otherwise Whitstaple. 
 
 The town is small, and has few attractions. The 
 turnpike-road from Canterbury crosses the western side, 
 towards the sea-shore; and on each side the road, 
 stands the village or town, called Whitstable street. 
 At the extremity is the new harbour, and the rail-road 
 to Canterbury. 
 
 Whitstable is much celebrated for its delicious oysters; 
 these fisheries give employment to numerous dredgers. 
 The inhabitants are, for the most part, engaged in the 
 coasting and coal trade. The number of boats employed 
 in the oyster fishery in 1734 was twenty-two ; but they 
 have since increased to upwards of fifty, and give employ- 
 ment to one hundred and ninety men, and relief to 
 about thirty widows. 
 
 The opening of the new harbour in March 1832, in 
 the presence of an assemblage of nearly ten thousand 
 persons from London and the vicinity, gave an interest- 
 ing turn to the traffic, which has been further benefited 
 by the completion of the rail-road. The harbour, which 
 is composed of massive brick-work, is considered capable 
 of affording shelter to twenty sail, each of one hundred 
 and fifty tons, and is peculiarly serviceable during the 
 prevalence of the vernal equinox, when outward and
 
 110 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 homeward-bound vessels are subjected to stress of 
 weather. Above the town stands a conspicuous building 1 
 for the manufacture of pyritice, or cement-stones, which 
 are washed up in great abundance on the beach, and 
 being- submitted to the process of calcination, becomes 
 a useful ' compo' for the fronts of houses, &c. The 
 church of All Saints stands on an eminence about half 
 a mile from the street, in a hamlet called Church-street, 
 and is embattled. It consists of two aisles and two 
 chancels, having a tower-steeple. The living- is a per- 
 petual curacy in the archdeaconry and diocese of 
 Canterbury, and in the patronage of the archbishop ; 
 it is endowed with 400/. private benefaction and 400/. 
 royal bounty. 
 
 Off the coast lies the ' Pudding" Pan Rock,' on and 
 near which many fragments of Roman earthenware have 
 been found. Three fairs are kept in this parish, viz. 
 on Thursday before Whitsunday, on Midsummer day, 
 and St. James's day. The railway is the chief com- 
 munication between Whitstable and Canterbury ; the 
 trains leave the town for the latter place every two 
 hours. Hoys continually leave the harbour with luggage 
 and merchandise for London. The population of the 
 parish, including the hamlet of Harwich, was 1926 by 
 the last census. The number of acres is 3j460, and 
 the number of inhabited houses 361. 
 
 SITTINGBOURNE 
 
 Is a village and parish in the hundred of Milton, lathe 
 of Scray, about sixteen miles from Canterbury. It is 
 situated on the main road from London to Canterbury. 
 It was formerly a corporate and market town, and of
 
 OF CANTERBURY. Ill 
 
 considerable importance. It is recorded that Henry V. 
 was entertained at the "Red Lion", in this town, and 
 that several other monarchs have conferred similar 
 honours on the place. The town has long since lost its 
 privilege of returning two members to parliament, and 
 its corporation has likewise been abolished. Two annual 
 fairs, under a charter of Elizabeth, are held on Whit- 
 Monday, and October 10th, and a monthly market is 
 held on Tuesdays. There is an almshouse for ten poor 
 widows, a National School which is supported by volun- 
 tary contributions, and a chapel for Wesleyan Methodists- 
 The church is dedicated to St. Michael, and was erected 
 in 1762, on the ruins of an old one which was blown 
 down at the time. It is a very good specimen of the 
 pointed style of gothic architecture. The living is a 
 vicarage in the archdeaconry and diocese of Canterbury 
 in the patronage of the archbishop, and is valued in the 
 king's books at 10/. The population in 1831 was 
 2182, with 370 inhabited houses and 1260 acres. 
 
 Sittingbourne is far advanced in point of civilization 
 above the majority of the surrounding parishes ; in 
 illustration of this may be adduced the existence of the 
 following societies, viz. : The County of Kent Friendly 
 Society, instituted in 1828, for the assurance of the 
 lives of tradesmen, farmers, servants, labourers, &c., at the 
 rate of from four to twenty shillings per week, payable in 
 times of sickness. The society consists of upwards of 
 1 100 members, and possesses funds in the bank of England 
 to the amount of 5000. The Sittingbourne and Milton 
 Loan Society was established in 1836, for the purpose 
 of lending money, in sums of from 10*. to 15/., to 
 poor and deserving people. The Sittingbourne Agri- 
 cultural Association was established for the encourage-
 
 112 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 ment of servants and labourers. The Sittingbourne and 
 Milton Book Society is possessed of a library well 
 supplied with works on almost every branch of science, 
 art, and literature. The Savings Bank Society was 
 established in 1816 at Faversham, for the protection and 
 security of the savings of the prudent and industrious 
 working classes ; the deposits, in 1837, amounted to 
 50,8961. IIs.ld. 
 
 The Royal Victoria Hotel and Rose Inn (Robert 
 P. Hams) at Sittingbourne, has long been noted for the 
 excellence of its accommodations, and on that account 
 ranks first in importance to any in the county of Kent. 
 
 MILTON 
 
 Is a market-town and parish, west of Sittingbourne, in 
 the Hundred of Milton, in the lathe of Scray, at a dis- 
 tance of about sixteen and a-half miles from Canterbury, 
 and about forty from London. It is an ancient town, 
 and formed part of the possessions of the crown. The 
 inhabitants of Milton are chiefly occupied in the oyster 
 fishery, which gives'employment to above one hundred 
 dredgers : the Milton oysters are considered the finest 
 in England ; they are usually styled " natives," and are 
 a very great delicacy, greatly in demand in London, 
 from whence they are sent in barrels to all parts of the 
 kingdom and the Continent. Milton is under the eccle- 
 siastical jurisdiction of the diocese of Canterbury and 
 deanery of Sittingbourne. The church, which is dedi- 
 atecl to the Holy Trinity, consists of two aisles and two 
 chancels, with a tower at the west end containing five bells. 
 The living is a vicarage in the patronage of the dean and
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 113 
 
 chapter of Canterbury, and is valued in the king's books 
 at 131. 2s. 6d. The population of the parish in 1831 
 was 2233, with 329 inhabited houses, and 2340 acres. 
 
 GREEN-STREET 
 
 Is a village in the parish and hundred of Teynham, lathe 
 of Scray, at a distance of thirteen railes from Canterbury. 
 It is a small village possessing little attraction. A fair 
 is held in the village on the 1st of May. The parish 
 church of Teynham is dedicated to St. Mary, and is built 
 in the form of a cross, with an embattled tower. The 
 living is a vicarage in the archdeaconry and diocese of 
 Canterbury, and in the patronage of the archdeacon ; 
 it was valued in the king's books at 10. The popula- 
 tion of Teynham is about 600, which includes that of 
 Green-street. 
 
 OSPRINGE 
 
 Is a hamlet and parish north-west of Sheldwich, in the 
 hundred of Faversham, lathe of Scray. It is a large 
 parish, five miles in extent and two in breadth, and 
 stands on the London read, at a distance of about nine 
 miles from Canterbury and about forty-seven from 
 London. It appears to have been once a town of con- 
 siderable importance, the manor of Ospringe, alias 
 Queen Court, having belonged to the queens of England 
 up to Margaret, wife of Edward I. Bishop Odo had 
 large possessions in Ospringe, and " King John was 
 at his manor of Ospringe in his fifteenth and seventeenth 
 years." A court leet and court baron are held for the
 
 114 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 manor, and at the former a constable is chosen yearly for 
 the jurisdiction of the liberty of Ospringe. The ancient 
 Hospital, or Maison Dieu, established by Henry III. in 
 1235, is now in ruins. The parish of Ospringe is within 
 the jurisdiction of the diocese of Canterbury and deanery 
 of Ospringe. The church, which stands about a mile 
 south ef Ospringe-street, is dedicated to St. Peter and 
 St. Paul, and consists of three aisles, a chancel, and an 
 ancient steeple at the west end, containing four bells. 
 The living is a vicarage, in the patronage of Jesus' 
 College, Cambridge, and is valued in the king's books at 
 IOL A fair is held in the parish on the 29th of May. 
 The population of the parish in 1831 was 1087, with 
 189 inhabited houses and 2930 acres. 
 
 BOUGHTON-UNDER-BLEAN 
 
 Is a parish in the hundred of its own name, in the lathe 
 of Scray, at a distance of five miles and a half from 
 Canterbury, on the high road to London. Boughton- 
 hill, which is one of the highest in the county, com- 
 mands a very extensive bird's-eye view of the windings 
 of the Medway and the Isle of Sheppey, the towns of 
 Whitstable and Faversham, Ospringe, and many parts 
 of west Kent for a distance of several miles ; the view 
 is particularly beautiful and charming, and cannot fail 
 to delight the most fastidious "scene hunter." The 
 church is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul. The 
 living is a vicarage in the jurisdiction and patronage of 
 the Archbishop of Canterbury, and is valued in the 
 king's books at QL 4s. 9^d. There are two Charity 
 Schools for girls and boys ; also an Almshouse for poor
 
 OF CANTERBURY. 115 
 
 people. The Wesleyan Methodists have a place of 
 worship. The population in 1831 was returned at 
 1300 ; 261 houses, and 2390 statute acres. The exten- 
 sive wood, called the Blean Forest, was celebrated in 
 ancient times for being the haunt of boars and other 
 "royal" beasts of chase; these have long- since been 
 exterminated, and an exceedingly melancholy event 
 has marked, more particularly that part of it called 
 " Bosendenne," in modern times, and placed it in the 
 memory of every one living : that is, the loss of life 
 created by the freaks of a wild maniac, under the title 
 of " Sir William Courtenay." To this event, which 
 took place on the 2d of June, 1838, melancholy as it is, 
 may be added one still more deplorable if anything 
 more lamentable can exist than the loss of life, it is the 
 wretched state of ignorance in which the poor deluded 
 creatures, who were engaged in that affair, existed; a 
 circumstance which strongly recommends the peasantry 
 of Boughton to the guardianship of the government, 
 and the care and " motherly kindness" of the church. 
 
 HARBLJEDOWN (St. Michael), 
 
 Is a parish in the hundred of Westgate, lathe of St. 
 Augustine, one mile and a quarter from Canterbury, on 
 the high road to London. It derived its name from the 
 fertility of the soil, and was formerly spelt Herballdown. 
 The situation is exceedingly picturesque and delightful ; 
 situated on the brow of a hill, it commands a beautiful 
 view of the city of Canterbury, and is remarkable for 
 the salubrity of its air. The church is dedicated to St. 
 Michael, and is situated on the north of the road. It
 
 116 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 consists of one aisle and a chancel. The living is a 
 rectory in the possession of the archdeaconry and 
 diocese of Canterbury, and is rated in the king's books 
 at 91. 2*. 6d. The patronage is in the gift of the 
 archbishop. The ancient hospital in this parish is 
 mentioned in another part of the work. The popula- 
 tion, in 1831, amounted to 678. The church of St. 
 Nicholas attached to the hospital is an ancient structure 
 and consists of a nave, two aisles, and a chancel, with 
 a square tower. The windows are ornamented with 
 painted glass ; the church contains a very curious and 
 antique font. 
 
 HACKINGTON (St. Stephen's), 
 
 Is a parish in the hundred of Westgate, lathe of St. 
 Augustine, about one mile and a quarter from Canterbury. 
 The church is dedicated to St. Stephen, and is a beauti- 
 ful specimen of a village church. It is a very ancient 
 structure, consisting of a nave and chancel with side 
 aisles and a tower. The entrance at the west end is in 
 the Norman style, and displays the zigzag moulding in a 
 state of good preservation. The living is a vicarage in 
 the archdeaconry and diocese of Canterbury, and was 
 valued in the king's books at 51. 2s. 3^d., and is in the 
 patronage of the archdeacon. Sir Roger Manwood's 
 Hospital in this parish is mentioned in the account 
 of Hospitals. Rale's place, belonging to the Hales 
 family, is a noble and majestic mansion situated on the

 l)ody in which are the chief apartments, flanked by two 
 wings containing- the offices, and in one of which is 
 the chapel, where the service of the Roman Catholic 
 religion is performed every Sunday morning and after- 
 noon, and on feast days. The population in 1831 was 
 436, with 64 houses, and 1190 acres. 
 
 THANNINGTON 
 
 Is a parish situated south-east of Harbledown, in the 
 hundred of Westgate, lathe of St. Augustine, at a 
 distance of one mile and three quarters from Canterbury. 
 It is situated in alow and flat soil, and is not remarkable 
 for anything picturesque in rural scenery. The river 
 Stour passes through the parish ; also the roads to 
 Ashford and Maidstone. The church is dedicated to 
 St. Nicholas, and stands on the north of the Stour. The 
 living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry and 
 diocese of Canterbury, and in the patronage of the arch- 
 bishop. It is endowed with 2QQL private benefaction, 
 and 200?. royal bounty. The population of the parish, 
 including the hamlet of Milton, was estimated in 1831 
 at 374, with 59 inhabited houses and 1420 acres. 
 
 STURRY 
 
 Is a parish and village north from Westbere, and at the 
 distance of about one mile from Canterbury. It has 
 been variously styled in ancient records by the names 
 of Esturai, Sturigao, and Sture. The parish contains 
 six boroughs, viz. : Sturry Street, Rutland, Buckwell, 
 Calcott Common, Blaxland, and Hoth. A portion of
 
 118 TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY 
 
 this parish is near the south-western boundaries, within 
 the corporation of Fordwich. The situation of Sturry 
 is low, and the village called Sturry Street, which stands 
 north-east of the river Stour, is built on each side of 
 the high-road to Thanet. The church lies westward 
 of the village, and is dedicated to St. Nicholas. The 
 living is a vicarage in the archdeaconry and diocese of 
 Canterbury, and in the patronage of the archbishop ; it 
 was valued in the king's books at 131- Is. 8d. The 
 population of the parish, in 1831, amounted to 925, 
 with 179 inhabited houses. The number of acres is 
 3140. The river Stour, which meanders by this village, 
 was anciently of much greater magnitude, if we may 
 judge from a statement in the Domesdays urvey, that 
 although there were only twenty- eight acres of meadow 
 land, there were no less than ten mills and seven fish- 
 eries. So early as the reign of the second Edward there 
 existed a bridge over the stream ; the present one, which 
 is of very recent construction, is handsome, and formed 
 of three arches. Near the church stand the remains of 
 Sturry Court, once the residence of the Strangfords, to 
 whom it belonged. 
 
 FORDWICH 
 
 Is a town and parish situated on the river Stour, in the 
 hundred of Downhamford, lathe of St. Augustine, two 
 miles from Canterbury, and is a member of the town 
 and port of Sandwich. It derives its name from a pass 
 or ford in one of the windings of the river. It is 
 a town of remote antiquity, and was of great im- 
 portance in the time of Bishop Odo, who possessed
 
 OP CANTERBURY. 119 
 
 considerable property in the town. The houses are 
 irregular and heavily built, and of great antiquity. 
 The Town Hall, Sessions House, and Common Jail, 
 are all combined in one ruinous and barn-like structure, 
 of very great antiquity and little strength, and affords a 
 specimen of the rude style of architecture, previous to the 
 reign of Henry VII. The church, which is dedicated to 
 St. Mary, consists of two aisles and a chancel, with a spire- 
 steeple containing four bells. It is a discharged rec- 
 tory in the archdeaconry and diocese of Canterbury, and 
 valued in the king's books at 41. 15s. 2d. The town 
 is governed by a mayor and commonalty. A court- 
 baron is held for the town and manor. The population 
 in 1831 amounted to 287 ; the parish comprises 610 
 acres, with fifty-six inhabited houses. In the stream, 
 near this town, trout are caught, which, from the 
 superiority of their flavour, are considered a peculiar 
 delicacy. 
 
 WESTBERE 
 
 Is a parish and village in the hundred ofBleangate, lathe 
 of St. Augustine, adjoiningSturry, at a distance of about 
 three miles and a half from Canterbury. The village is 
 pleasantly situated and the climate is very healthy, 
 notwithstanding the marshy nature of the soil. The 
 church of All Saints is situated at the base of a hill in 
 the centre of the parish. The living is a rectory in 
 the archdeaconry and diocese of Canterbury, and in the 
 patronage of the crown, and was valued in the king's 
 books at 71. The population of the parish in 1831 was 
 219, with thirty-three inhabited houses, and the number 
 of acres it comprises is 810.

 BRIDGE 
 
 Is a parish in the hundred of its own name, and that of 
 Petham, lathe of St. Augustine, at a distance of three 
 miles from Canterbury. The little Stour passes through 
 the parish, which is very pleasantly situated on the road 
 to Dover. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, is an 
 ancient structure in the Norman style, and is a good 
 specimen of a village church. The living is a perpetual 
 curacy united to the vicarage of Patrixbourne, in the 
 archdeaconry and diocese of Canterbury. There is also 
 a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. The popu- 
 lation in 1831 was returned at 546, the number of houses 
 at 97, and the statute acres at 1280. The Union House, 
 on the right of the road to Dover, is an extensive pile of 
 buildings, pleasantly situated and well-built.

 * The high antiquity and importance of the Town of Faversham re- 
 quiring a description of it more lengthened than our pages will admit of 
 (in consequence of the low price of this work), we have been compelled to 
 exclude it ; but we will give such a notice as we think it demands in a 
 future work : As we did not promise a description of Faversham, we 
 trust our subscribers will feel no disappointment. ED.

 SHARPS ROYAL BRITISH CERATES AND 
 LINIMENT. 
 
 THESE valuable medical applications, long privately known, and kighly appre- 
 ciated, by some of the most eminent Medical men in the metropolis, constitute, 
 in their various modifications, rapid and effectual remedies for Gout in some 
 states, Rheumatic Affections, Lumbago, Glandular Swellings, many instances of 
 Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Tumours, relaxed Sore Throats, Swelled Face or 
 Gums, some cases of Deafness, external. Inflammation in all its shapes, Boils, 
 Ulcerated, and other wounds, Sprains, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Erysipelas, Veno- 
 mous Stings, Itch, Ringworm, Scaldhead, Grocers' Itch, Chilblains, Bunions, 
 Corns, Tender Feet, Paralysis of a local character, and Tic-douloureux. As no 
 class of society is exempt from the liability to some or other of these attacks, BO
 
 London Advertisements. 
 
 to every rank must access to such a powerful series of simple, but effectual 
 remedies, be highly desirable. ~_ 
 
 The series consist of a Liniment, with the Plain, and four combinations of 
 Cerates: Namely, No. 1, Plain; No. 2, Camphorated; No. 3, Emollient; 
 No. 4, Balsamic; and No. 5, Sulphurated; severally applicable to the cure of 
 the above diseases and injuries, in the manner clearly laid down in the full printed 
 directions which accompany each packet. 
 
 The Proprietors give their solemn assurance, that there is not a fact stated with 
 respect to the powers of these substances, which is not fully established in every 
 class of cases, in the private practice of medical men of great respectability in the 
 metropolis and elsewhere ; and that each of the preparations, although most effec- 
 tual in its remedial character, is in the highest degree innocent in its entire com- 
 position, and may, consequently, be used with perfect safety. 
 
 The Royal British Cerates are made up, in all their modifications, in Boxes of 
 four sizes, at 1 3|<i., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and 11s. each ; and the Liniment in Bottles 
 of three sizes, with ground-glass Stoppers, at 2s. 9?., 4s. 6d., and 1 Is. each; 
 Stamps in all cases included. 
 
 Sold by SHARP & Co., 153, Fleet Street, London, Sole Proprietors, whose name 
 and address are upon the Stamp ; and by the established Licensed Medicine 
 Venders throughout the three kingdoms. 
 
 CERTAIN CURE FOR CORNS AND BUNIONS. 
 
 ALLINGHAM'S ROTTERDAM CORN and BUNION SOLVENT, which 
 gives relief upon the first application, and speedily eradicates them without pain 
 or inconvenience, as the following will prove : 
 
 "Sheffield, Oct. llth, 1837. 
 
 "Sir, Will you send me twelve dozen of Solvent, I find my sale rapidly in- 
 creasing. The superiority of the Rotterdam Solvent over all other preparations 
 for the entire removal of Corns and Bunions, is becoming generally known and 
 appreciated here. Since 1 last wrote to you I have heard of several remarkable 
 instances of its efficacy. One I may give you, as I have the permission so to do. 
 Mr. Witham, a respectable manufacturer, rcsid ; ng in Bridge-Street, Sheffield, 
 had been a great sufferer from Coins for the last fifty years ; hearing of the Rot- 
 terdam Solvent, he was induced to try it, and from the great benefit aud iclief 
 experienced from its first application, he resolved to persevere in its use, and, in 
 a comparatively short time, was completely cured, and continues so to this day. 
 The gentleman will be happy to give any information to those who may personally 
 apply. I am, Sir, yours truly, " T. LOFTHOUSK." 
 
 A further testimony to its ^merits, no less strong, is fully proved by the in- 
 genuity which some unprincipled persons have exercised to imitate its title and 
 appearance, and to substitute for it an article not merely inefficacious, but mis- 
 chievous : it is therefore necessary to ask for Allingham's Rotterdam Corn and 
 Bunion Solvent, and see that J. A. Sliarwood is written on the outside wrapper, 
 as none others are genuine. 
 
 Prepared and sold by J. A. Sharwood, 55, Bishopsgate Without, London, in 
 bottles at Is. l^rf., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each ; and, by appointment, by Christian, 
 Canterbury ; Delo, Faversham ; Hambrook, Dover ; Fisher, Rarasgate ; Picker- 
 ing, Margate ; and by most Medicine Vendors. Any vendor not having it, will 
 procure it on its being ordered.

 CRIMSTONE'S xfev EYE SNUFF, 
 
 H. R. H. THE DUCHESS OF KENT, AND 
 
 Authorized by the ^3Jf&fff&^ Lords of the Treasury. 
 
 W. GRIMSTONE most respectfully solicits the attention of the Nobility, 
 Gentry, and Public, to make trial of this celebrated invention, pledging himself 
 to the efficacy, and certain relief to the sufferer. The reader will remember some 
 of the greatest events have been accomplished by the most simple causes. This 
 SNUFF removes diseases without irritating those delicate organs, by its action on 
 the lachrymal sac or duct, the membrane of which is, indeed, a continuation of 
 the pituitary expansion within the nostrils. It has received the sanction of the 
 most exalted and scientific personages of the age. The gigantic balance, the press ! 
 have eulogized this delightful compound of herbs. 
 
 G. J. GUTHRIE, Esq., F.R.S. This eminent Surgeon strongly recommends 
 Grimstone's Eye Snuff. 
 To Mr. GRIMSTONE. Penryn Arms Hotel, Bangor, May 25, 1838. 
 
 SIR, From the great and signal benefit I have experienced from your invalu- 
 able Snuff, I conceive I should be doing an act of ingratitude to yourself as well as 
 injustice to those suffering as I have, if I did not thus openly state for the satisfac- 
 tion of the Public that I have been for a long time past labouring under an almost 
 total DEPRIVATION OF SIGHT, so great as, except by the feel, incapable of knowing 
 a shilling from a guinea. A gentleman who stopped at my house for a short time 
 pitying my (as I imagined, incurable) misfortune, kindly recommended me to try a 
 small quantity of your discovery, which he procured from an Agent of yours in 
 Dublin. I felt so much benefited from the contents of a 2s. 4d. Canister, that 
 I sent for two more, which having nearly used, I am now almost COMPLETELY RE- 
 STORED. I have no doubt in the course of another week of being Cured. Sir, if 
 you would appoint an Agent in this town it would be doing the inhabitants an in- 
 calculable benefit. Should you be so disposed, I can with confidence name Mr. 
 Heywood, a most respectable tradesman here, from whom I am convinced you 
 would experience every satisfaction. Pardon this liberty, but as I have myself 
 felt such good effects from uting your Eye Snuff, I am doubly anxious our 
 place should be supplied by a local Agent. Sir, you are at perfect liberty to 
 publish this Testimony of acknowledgment from your grateful and obedient 
 servant, W. BICKNELL. 
 
 Mr. GRIMSTONE, Whitehall, 8th March, 1836. 
 
 SIR, I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgements to you for 
 the great benefits I have derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com- 
 pound of Herbs, called Eye Snuff. Its action on the membrane of the nose, 
 causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that 
 means so cleansed the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong, and performed 
 their wonted duties in a manner that I have not known the blessing of for six 
 years. The renowned DR. GUTHRIE recommended me to try your Eye Snuff, 
 prior to my undergoing an operation, many thanks to him for his suggestion. 
 Thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my 
 permission to make this known in any manner you think best. 
 
 I am, Sir, your obedt. servant, J. B. LACHFIELD.

 ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. 
 
 DR. BRANDRETH wishes mankind to consider that health solely depends 
 on the state of purity in which the blood is kept, every part of the body being 
 supplied daily with new blood from the food consumed ; consequently, according 
 to the pureness of that blood, ?o must the state of the body be more or less 
 healthy. To obtain, therefore, the most direct purifier, is a question of no little 
 importance to every individual. It matters not what Mr. Morrison or Dr. 
 Brandreth say about their Pills of Vegetable, but what medicine is really the best. 
 
 That BRANDRETH'S PILLS are the most direct purifiers, there will be no doubt, 
 when it is considered that they have gained their present very extensive sale not 
 by Advertisement but by their own intrinsic merits ; and their universality is 
 established by the fact, that their operation is more or less powerful, according to 
 the pureness of the circulating fluid for, if taken by a person who is in a fair 
 state of health, they are scarcely felt but, if taken by one suffering from disease, 
 their operation will be powerful, and perhaps painful, until the disease is con- 
 quered, or the system entirely under their influence this accomplished, small 
 doses, say two, or three, or four Pills, three or four times a week, will soon effect 
 a cure, even in the most inveterate cases.

 RHEUMATISM. 
 
 To Mr. William Coles, Truss Maker to Her Majesty's Force?, and Patentee of 
 the Anti Friction- Wheel Railway Carriages (in the United Kingdom and other 
 kingdoms), capable of running a hundred miles in one hour without producing a 
 heated axle, and Patentee of the celebrated Medicated Bands, 3, Charing Cross. 
 Sir, I am in justice bound to state that, in consequence of a virulent attack of 
 Yellow Fever, I returned from the West Indies with Paralysis in my left hand, 
 and a severe Rheumatic Affection in my right thigh. That by the use of the 
 Waters of Weisbaden, I got rid of the Paralysis ; but the acute pain in my limb 
 still continuing, I applied and wore for a considerable time, with the most happy 
 result, your Medicated Band, which afforded me immediate relief. I am, Sir, 
 your obliged Servant, A. M. MAXWELL, Lieut. Col. 36th regiment, Boulogne, 
 17th May, 1837. 
 
 Lieutenant-Colonel Stisted, of the 3rd regiment Light Dragoons, informs those 
 who have Rheumatism, that he has worn Coles's Medicated Bands four months, 
 that they have relieved him from a state of suffering scarcely to be described : the 
 Colonel, to evince his gratitude to Mr. Coles, has authorised him to make use of 
 his name in any way he thinks proper. No. 4, Craven -street, Strand, London, 
 29th April, 1837. 
 
 Colonel Franklin acquaints Mr. Coles, that the Medicated Bands furnished to 
 him have entirely removed the pain in his shoulder and arm, in which parts he 
 had been for many months a great sufferer from Rheumatism, although employing 
 various remedies in hopes of obtaining relief; the pain continued, and he was 
 unable to pull off his coat or dress himself without assistance. Colonel Franklin 
 sends Mr. Coles this testimony to make what use of it he pleases. Blackheath, 
 22nd March, 1838. 
 
 I hereby certify that I had a severe attack of Rheumatism in my hand and 
 wrist, and could neither button my coat nor dress or undress myself without 
 assistance, that I applied Coles's Patent Medicated Band, which removed the pain 
 in six hours ; and in two days I was perfectly free from the complaint. ROBERT 
 SMITH, 19, Gloucester-street, Queen-square, March 3rd, 1838. 
 
 Sir, During the last eight months, I have been severely afflicted with Sciatica, 
 Lumbago, and Rheumatism, for which I could get no relief, even under the best 
 medical advice. I have occasionally worn your Medicated Bands which were recom- 
 mended to me by persons whom your Bands had relieved, and I am happy to say 
 that they afforded me, during the most acute sufferings, almost instantaneous relief, 
 and at less than one-twentieth part of the expense that I had previously incurred. 
 You are at full liberty to make what use you please of this letter, for so invaluable 
 a discovery cannot be too widely circulated. I am, Sir, yours, greatly obliged, R. 
 TYAS. '13, CeciLstreet, Strand, London, list May, 1838. 
 
 Persons subject to attacks of Pleurisy, Rheumatism, Lumbago or Sciatica, Weak 
 Knees, Bruises, Face-ache, or Shooting Pains in any part of the body or limbs, 
 arising from want of free circulation of the blood, or obstructed perspiration, should 
 keep these Bands by them, as they will preserve their virtues for years in any 
 climate, and when they feel symptoms of its approach, meet the disease half-way. 
 
 "Coles on Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, Rheumatism, and Cramp," price 
 one penny, is a single post letter, which will be forwarded (gratis) to any part of 
 the kingdom. The Bands may be procured through any London Coachman or 
 Guard. All letters must be post paid.

 UNPARALLELED SUCCESS. 
 
 The Superiority of WRAY'S BALSAMIC PILLS over Copaiba, Ctibebs, and 
 every other medicine, in the cure of gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness, 
 whites, pains in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local debility, 
 irritation of the bladder, or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, 
 becomes every day more apparent, from their extraordinary demand and universal 
 success in all the above complaints ; as since their first introduction to the public, 
 thousands of cases have annually been cured. Within three years prior to which 
 they had been employed in private practice in upwards of 1,800 cases (many of 
 them most inveterate), and in no one instance known to fail, or to produce those 
 unpleasant symptoms so often experienced while taking mercury, copaiba, cubebs, 
 turpentine, and that class of medicines usually resorted to in these complaints. 
 Possessing tonic properties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen 
 the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the general health. They 
 require neither confinement nor alteration of diet (except abstinence from stimulants, 
 where considerable inflammation exists), and, as experience has amply proved, they 
 will effect a cure sooner than copaiba (the dangerous results of which, in the inflam- 
 matory stages, are too well known to need any comment), or any other medicine 
 in present use, and may justly be considered the only safe and efficacious remedy, 
 in all stages of those disorders. 
 
 Prepared only by M. 0. Wray, at No. lift, Holborn-hill ; and 9, Agar-street, 
 West Strand, (opposite Charing-cross Hospital ;) and sold wholesale by Messrs.

 exceedingly low price at which they are charged, must ever insure their general 
 employment. Best jean, Is. 6d. ; knitted or wove silk, 2s. Gd. ; ditto, with
