"To God & to Posteritie - Heer lyeth the body of Sir Anthony Denton, knight, one of the honorable band of pensioners to the late renouned lady Queen Elizabeth & also to our now sovereign lord King James. Whose manie eminent partes, both of minde and body (equally according to nature, arte & grace) in his youth around the Court , in his latter yeers , the Country he doth worthylie , beloved everywhere with the best, approved to the last period of his life which (in assured hope of a better ) with much patience and confidence, in the faith of Christ, hee finished August 27th 1615 aged 54
In memorie of whose manifold worth, his deer & doleful wife Elizabeth eldest daughter of Thomas Isham of Langport in the countie of North-Hampton, esquire, erected this monument.
Christs death my life; my death to life was portal through to death and life immortal"
Anthony, born in 1561 was the son of Margery & William Denton, gentleman of Southwark Surrey & Stedham Sussex who shortly before his death in 1565 had acquired from Alexander Colepeper / Culpepper the rectory of Tonbridge including "all lands, tithes and the like in Tunbridge Warde alias Le Townewarde and Southborowe Warde, parcels of the said rectory in Tunbridge". becoming with Henry Carey Lord Hunsdon a kinsman of Queen Elizabeth, a leading landowner in the town.
Only aged 4 at the time of his father's death, his mother was granted his wardship with an annuity from the estate, until Anthony received license to enter into his inheritance on April 29th 1583.
Meanwhile Anthony matriculated at Brasenose College Oxford on December 8th 1578 and entered the Middle Temple of the Inns of Court in 1581.
He was knighted in 1603 in the royal garden at Whitehall before the coronation of James l .
He m (May 25th 1601) Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Isham of Lamport and established a country residence at Tonbridge in addition to his 2 London houses
By 1602 he was one of the honourable band of pensioners (50 knights in rotation) to provide a royal bodyguard to the monarch, standing guard with a gilt battle axe in the presence chamber and accompanying the sovereign to the chapel royal or the House of Lords. He was probably recruited by the captain , Lord Hunsdon .
On August 26th 1625 he unexpectedly died at the aged of 54.
Anthony & Elizabeth had no children and she later (aged approx 45) m2 Sir Paul D'Ewes of Stow Hall flic.kr/p/PsFqX (stowlangtoft) in Suffolk bringing him a substantial dowry and portion.
Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of Thomas Isham of Langport (Lamport) Northamptonshire

Mercedes Benz A45 AMG [W176] Code Name: Acheron | tuned & powered by auto-Dynamics.pl
Epsilon. W greckim systemie liczbowym oznacza liczbę 5. Ów skalar afiliuje holistycznie z alonimem projektu, koherentnie oraz paralelnie z premedytacyjnie uzyskanymi "magnum opus" rezultatami. Partycypująca w jednym z 5 dopływów Hadesu – rzeka podziemnego świata, licząca ponad 50km długości, etykietuje legitymujący się mocą przekraczającą magiczną barierę miary 500KM+, najnowszy projekt zespołu auto-Dynamics.pl – w sposób metaforycznie alegoryczny a przede wszystkim modyfikacyjnie merytoryczny oraz eksplicytny. Mercedes-Benz A45AMG [W176] | Code Name: „Acheron”
#Preludium
Modyfikacyjną trawestację „pocket rocket”, konstytuując na nowo proklamowane marketingowo przez Stuttgarckiego producenta proverbium „The Best Or Nothing” – rozpoczęliśmy onegdaj, transformując Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach z stajni Daimler AG w ekstremalnie wydajnego, bezprecedensowego, ultra Hot Hatch’a. Szerzej na temat przeprowadzonych modyfikacji pisaliśmy na łamach naszego bloga [mods-Stage#1 & mods-Stage#2] przygotowując wówczas reprezentanta z Affalterbach do kolejnego etapu tuning’owej metamorfozy. Kontynuując motoryzacyjne przekształcenie „Acheron’a” z uwzględnieniem przytoczonego w prologu „Kwantum 5” harmonijnie ekspirujemy finalny mods-Stage by #AD
#PurePerformance #PurePower
+123KM | +164Nm to zaledwie wstęp do zbioru cech które zaimplementowaliśmy w po-liftową wersję A45 AMG podczas kolejnego etapu modyfikacji. Wykorzystując potencjał przeprowadzonych wcześniej mechanicznych modyfikacji [mods-Stage#1 & mods-Stage#2], podczas bieżącej wizyty, w Acheron’ie zintensyfikowaliśmy moc i moment obrotowy do granic eksploatacyjnie-daily, użytkowo-maksymalnych.
W pierwszym etapie prac skoncentrowaliśmy się nad aspektami związanymi z maksymalną eskalacją mocy i momentu obrotowego - mającymi w konsekwencji skutkować radykalnym spotęgowaniem tabelarycznych danych technicznych pojazdu. Metamorfozę rozpoczęliśmy od wymiany fabrycznej, mało wydajnej turbosprężarki na wariant zmodyfikowany [zarówno ciepła jak i zimna strona + łożyskowanie + etc.] z serii indywidualnie zaprojektowanej dla auto-Dynamics.pl [niedostępna w ofercie TTE (wyłącznie u nas tj. TTE & AD)] - "TTE500+". Tradycyjnie już, sięgnęliśmy po produkt od niekwestionowanego, niemieckiego lidera w dziedzinie upgrade’ów turbosprężarek – renomowanej firmy The Turbo Engineers. Specjalnie zaprojektowana turbosprężarka z celową eliminacją opóźnienia / lag’a w dolnym zakresie obrotów. Efekty naszego zabiegu zmierzone na hamowni, wykorzystując potencjał wszystkich przeprowadzonych wcześniej modyfikacji mechanicznych, po dokonaniu profesjonalnego, indywidualnego strojenia [chiptuning] jednostki ECU [jak i TCU (modyfikacja oprogramowania skrzyni biegów – wykonywana w #AD każdorazowo podczas radykalnych przyrostów mocy)] to 504KM i 639Nm. Właściwości fabryczne podane przez MB to: 381KM i 475Nm. Bilans przyrostu: +123KM i +164Nm. Ponadto V-MAX ca. 320km/h.
#Traction #Ride #Drive
Drugi etap modyfikacyjnej metamorfozy to koncentracja prac zespołu auto-Dynamics.pl nad szeroko pojętymi aspektami poprawy trakcji, prowadzenia oraz intensyfikacji doznań związanych z kierowaniem pojazdem. Sięgając po sprawdzone, kompetentne rozwiązania i solucje, Acheron wyposażony został w komplet profesjonalnego, sportowego zawieszenia gwintowanego od jednego z liderów w swojej klasie, niemieckiej firmy KW. Zaopatrzony w możliwość szerokiej regulacji, model V3 / Variant 3 „DDC” prócz znacznego obniżenia środka ciężkości, zapewnił fantastyczny wręcz „feeling” prowadzenia przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu pozytywnego komfortu podczas codziennej eksploatacji. Zważywszy na fakt, iż fabryczne wyposażenie MB zawierało elektroniczny proces utwardzania amortyzatorów – ów opcja została wyłączona za pomocną dedykowanego zestawu zwanego nomenklaturalnie „KW EDC Cancellation Kit”. Zawieszenie KW otrzymało ponadto support pod postacią kompletu grubszych, również w pełni regulowanych, sportowych stabilizatorów skrętu [niemieckiej firmy H&R] które w całości odpowiadają za niwelację przechyłów bocznych pojazdu. Dodatkowo, zarówno zawieszenie KW jak i stabilizatory H&R wspierane jest / są przez aluminiową rozpórkę amortyzatorów firmy Forge Motorsport. W procesie modyfikacji, czyniąc go zgodnym ze sztuką, wykorzystaliśmy ponadto szereg oryginalnych, nowych podzespołów OEM Mercedes-AMG GmbH takich jak górne mocowania i łożyska amortyzatorów, zestaw łączników stabilizatorów etc. Finalnie w 45’tce wykonaliśmy profesjonalną geometrię przy zastosowaniu urządzeń marki Hunter. Nie bez znaczenia pozostaje również fakt nowej, agresywnej aparycji pojazdu dzięki minimalizacji prześwitu, co w konsekwencji czyni odbiór bryły pojazdu „expressis verbis” eksplicytnym.
#Maintenance #Service
Korzystając z obecności „Acheron'a” w auto-Dynamics.pl, współbieżnie z modyfikacjami a uwzględniając interwały konserwacyjne, w AMG przeprowadziliśmy dodatkowo pełen profesjonalny serwis olejowy z wykorzystaniem zaufanych i niezawodnych olei Millers, które znacznie przewyższają zadane przez stuttgarcką fabrykę normy. Rzędowa jednostka napędowa zapełniona została wysokiej klasy olejem z serii Motorsport, o specyfikacji 10W60 – CFS z NT+ w połączeniu z OEM’owym filtrem, naturalnie z zastosowaniem płukanki silnikowej firmy Millers [Engine Flush] - odpowiednio przygotowującej jednostkę napędową M133DE20AL do współpracy z najwyższej próby olejem. W całym układzie hamulcowym wymieniony został płyn na wyczynowy wariant o ekstremalnie wysokiej temperaturze wrzenia i znakomitej odporności higroskopijnej [Płyn „Performance Brake Fluid” brytyjskiej firmy Millers]. System chłodzenia projektu „Acheron” otrzymał ponadto nowy płyn firmy Motul. Dopełniając metodykę oraz ścisłość reguł przeglądu, w A45 przeprowadziliśmy całkowitą, zaawansowaną diagnostykę komputerową [przy pomocy najnowocześniejszego oprogramowania firmy TEXA] oraz wszelkie wymagane adaptacje i regulacje. Celem maksymalnego wykorzystania właściwości i parametrów nowego zespołu najwyższej klasy podzespołów oraz poprawy charakterystyki pracy i skuteczniejszej ochrony przekładni AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-Gang-Sportgetriebe, w całym układzie wymieniony został olej na wyczynową, wydajniejszą odmianę pochodzącą z palety produktów brytyjskiej firmy Millers - Millermatic ATF DCT-DSG, naturalnie w połączeniu z kompletem nowych [OEM MB AMG] części i filtrów przewidzianych przez producenta do przeprowadzenia takowej procedury w automatycznej skrzyni AMG. Dyferencjały tj. mechanizmy różnicowe o ograniczonym poślizgu wypełnione zostały olejem CRX LS NT+ o charakterystyce 75W90 – pochodzącym również z ultra wydajnej serii Motorsport. Wszystkie wykonane czynności przeglądowo-serwisowe, przy zachowaniu szczegółowych procedur i wytycznych Daimler AG oraz naszych wewnętrznych, wyśrubowanych standardów dla pojazdów przez nas zmodyfikowanych – gwarantują bezawaryjną i bezproblemową eksploatację pojazdu o zwiększonej mocy przez kolejne tysiące kilometrów.
45’tka przeszła u nas szereg towarzszących, licznych, mniejszych i większych modyfikacji mających realny wpływ na obecny kształt przyrostów i niezawodności. Pozostałe kwestie, aspekty a także wynikający z doświadczenia "know-how", pozostawiamy w czeluściach umysłów całego zespołu auto-Dynamics.pl
#Coda
„Acheron” tj. rzeka nieszczęścia - celowo wytypowany kryptonim przez #teamAD dla naszego, wszechobejmującego, holistycznego modyfikacyjnie projektu bazującego na kanwie A45 AMG. Alias stanowi idealną, metaforyczną konstatację dla odczucia oponentów drogowych – explicite, niezależnie od okoliczności. W każdych warunkach uliczno-torowych. #Win #Is #Win #AD

Creator: Klumb, Henry, 1905-1984
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1948
Current location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Description of work: Klumb worked between 1946 and 1966 as the university's only architect. The Rio Piedras and Mayaguez campuses of the University of Puerto Rico allowed Klumb to explore the possibilities of a social architecture adapted to the conditions of Puerto Rico. He set the standards and guidelines for architecture of open and flowing spaces. He also developed several architectural strategies to tone down natural light with the use of various designs for brise-soleils which provided light and shadow. He preferred to design his buildings to take advantage of the prevailing trade winds of the island. Klumb's buildings are all organized around open, democratic spaces accessible to all.

Roman Wroxeter, near the end of the Watling Street Roman road that ran across England from Dubris (Dover), was a key frontier position lying on the bank of the Severn river whose valley penetrated deep into Wales, and also on a route to the south leading to the Wye valley.
Archaeology has shown that the site of the later city first was established about ad 55 as a frontier post for a Thracian legionary cohort located at a fort near the Severn river crossing.[1] A few years later a legionary fortress (castrum) was built within the site of the later city for the Legio XIV Gemina during their invasion of Wales.
The local British tribe of the Cornovii had their original capital (also thought to have been named *Uiroconion) at the hillfort on the Wrekin. When the Cornovii were eventually subdued their capital was moved to Wroxeter and given its Roman name.
This legion XIV Gemina was later replaced by the Legio XX Valeria Victrix which in turn relocated to Chester around ad 88. As the military abandoned the fortress the site was taken over by the Cornovians' civilian settlement.
The name of the settlement, meaning "Viroconium of the Cornovians", preserves a native Brittonic name that has been reconstructed as *Uiroconion ("[the city] of *Uirokū"), where *Uiro-ku (lit. "man"-"wolf") is believed to have been a masculine given name meaning "werewolf".[2][3]
The ruins of Viroconium's public baths at Wroxeter
Viroconium prospered over the next century, with the construction of many public buildings, including thermae and a colonnaded forum. At its peak, it is thought to have been the 4th-largest settlement in Roman Britain, with a population of more than 15,000.[4]
The Roman city is first documented in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography as one of the cities of the Cornovii tribe, along side Chester (Deva Victrix).
Following the Roman withdrawal from Britain around ad 410, the Cornovians seem to have divided into Pengwern and Powys. The minor Magonsæte sub-kingdom also emerged in the area in the interlude between Powysian and Mercian rule. Viroconium may have served as the early post-Roman capital of Powys prior to its removal to Mathrafal sometime before 717, following famine and plague in the area. The city has been variously identified with the Cair Urnarc[5] and Cair Guricon[6] which appeared in the 9th-century History of the Britons’s list of the 28 cities of Britain.[7]
N.J. Higham proposes that Wroxeter became the eponymous capital of an early sub-Roman kingdom known as the Wrocensaete, which he asserts was the successor territorial unit to Cornovia. The literal meaning of Wrocensaete is 'those dwelling at Wrocen', which Higham interprets as Wroxeter. It may refer quite specifically to the royal court itself, in the first instance, and only by extension to the territory administered from the court.[8]
The Roman city was rediscovered in 1859 when workmen began excavating the baths complex.[9][13] A replica Roman villa was constructed in 2010 for a Channel 4 television programme called Rome Wasn't Built in a Day and was opened to the public on 19 February 2011.[14]
I should have been on my way to Norwich.
And then a party was arranged for Jools's sister, Cath, and there was no time to get back from the fine city unless I left before two, meaning I would have had less than three hours there, and so I had to say I would not go.
Meanwhile, a friend had been asking about a visit to Kent and some churches during the summer, so I was able to say suddenly a date had become free, could he make it this week?
He could.
Meanwhile, Rob, our sometime gardener, said he could do our hedges on Saturday. So I had to go out to the bank to get some cash, and on the way back grab two breakfast butties from the van outside B&Q.
There was just time to make and drink a big brew, eat the sarnie before it was time to meet him at Dover Priory.
Graham appeared, so I got out of the car and waved. He came over, we shook hands, and I said, shall we get to it?
We shall.
Off through the town, up Whitfield Hill and then down Lydden Hill to the tiny church, tucked away on a side road, overlooking farmland.
Half a mile of the A2, and yet so peaceful.
We disturbed the warden cleaning the church for the weekend's service, but we received a fine welcome, and a sitrep on the church: electricity, but too expensive to have running water connected.
Its an ancient church, the years hang heavy on it, and the 19th century restoration came in the 1840s, and was done with a very light touch.
We took shots and make our excuses. Many more churches to see.
Back up Lydden Hill, across the A2 and through Shepherdswell, where the parked traffic around the Co-Op gets no better, then out across the fields to the jewel in Kent's churches: Barfrestone.
More of the supporting wall has come down as the church slips down the slope, but the church itself is in good condition.
Graham marvels at the carvings, corbels and interior decoration, but as we couldn't find the lights, was too dark inside for photography.
A short drive away is Patrixbourne: Barfrestone's non-identical twin, with another "wheel window", but the marvel here is the tympanum. And sadly, not for the first time, the church is locked.
I take us along Old Palace road, beside and through the Nailbourne, stopping so he could see Bekesbourne's tower poking above the trees. It would be locked, so we move on.
Back to Bridge, crossing over the dry Nailbourne bed via the bridge in Bridge, stopping at the church, which is always open.
We drive down the Elham Valley to Elham, parking in the picturesque square, with St Mary towering on the southern side, and the fine Kings Arms opposite.
The church is open, of course, and there is a book sale. A massive book sale, so get a guide to Cypress and leave a couple of quid.
A few miles on is Lyminge.
The church sits on a hill, from the base of which, the Nailbourne emerges from the ground. At this time of the year, its just a trickle. In some winters it gushes out from several places, and St Ethelburga's Well sits above.
The church is one of my favourites, with its single flying buttress holding up the east wall of the chancel, and the path to the porch goes under the arch.
I show Graham the outline of the Saxon chapel in the path as we approach the church.
Sadly, (probably) the Victorians removed the plaster from the wall, exposing the flints making up the structure, looks ancient, but it was not like this through most of its life.
It was a bit of a drive to the next church: Brook. Along narrow lanes, meeting many vehicles coming in the opposite direction, meaning squeezing by, or reversing to a passing place.
Brook sits on the single street of the village, a bourne sometimes runs past it, so you have to cross a small bridge to reach the church.
I point out the almond shaped opening, possible hagioscope for an anchorite cell, before we go in, and in the Chancel, the stone altar and wall paintings behind making it seem very old indeed.
We skirted the edge of Ashford to reach the Romney Marsh.
Ashford is a new, new town, and traffic is dreadful. The actions of the drivers even worse.
I was glad to head out towards Rye, traffic thinning out until we reached the Marsh beyond Ham Street.
I turn off down the narrow lane to Snave, but there is no sign as to where the church is. The trees that surround it now hide the church from view, and on a second pass, I spotted the pale blue sign down a track.
We park and walk up, finding the church yard overgrown, but the church open.
We take shots, the silence hung heavy as we went about snapping.
Back to the car, and thoughts turned to lunch.
I thought the best pub would be at Ivychurch, where the Bell Inn sits beside the "cathedral of the Marsh", St George.
Graham treats me to a pint of London Pride, as sadly there was no Kentish beers on off, and lunch of chilli nachos, which we eat in the beer garden, as the sun tried to break through the cloud cover.
Maybe we lingered too long supping, so the last two visits were flying: first to Brookland and its triple stage "candle snuffer" bell tower, locked of course. Inside I point out the lead font.
Finally, nearly in Sussex, we drive to Fairfield.
But there's a wedding party there, having photographs taken. We decide not to disturb them, and with three o'clock having rolled round, I took Graham to Ashford for a train back to London, and me to drive home so to be back for the party.
Norwich had already won at Portsmouth, 2-1, so it was pleasant to listen to the radio babbling away, with a confusing mix of teams and players, some new at their clubs, so no idea who had scored until the reporter made it clear.
Back home for a shower and change.
In the garden the hedges were shorn, and the clippings lay in piles. Jobs for the rest of the weekend, and maybe into next week.
To Jen's then, for a Chinese banquet and wish Cath happy birthday as its midweek, and she would be working.
Beer and wine flowed, at least for Jen and myself.
Jools drive us back through the gloaming, now that the clouds had cleared, a golden evening. And nearly chilly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION: Situated on Upper Chalk (just above the Nailbourne floodplain) at about 90 feet above O.D. with the main Roman road to Dover immediately to the north-east. Bridge Place is about a ¼ mile to the south-west, and its mother-church of Patrixbourne is about ¾ miles to the north-east. Canterbury is just under 3 miles to the north-west.
DESCRIPTION: Unfortunately the church was disastrously over-restored in 1859 by Scott (John Newman, B.O.E. (N.E. and Kent 3rd ed. 1983), 159, says it was 'done with grotesque insensitivity'). However, with the help of Glynne's description (of 1846), and various early 19th century views, as well as the few surviving medieval features, it is possible to work out something of the architectural history. Externally it has been completely refaced with heavy knapped flint, and Bathstone dressings, but the core of all the main walls, except the Vestry on the north-east and the tower stair-turret must be medieval. The west end of the north aisle also appears to have been extended westwards in 1859.
There had been an earlier small-scale repewing in 1836, followed by a restoration by Scott in 1857. The complete rebuilding took place in 1859-60, with most of the money coming from Mrs Gregory of Bridge Hill.
From the surviving remains, there is no doubt that the nave, chancel, south aisle and tower-base all date from the 12th century. It is also possible that the nave itself dates from the late 11th century, but there is no visible evidence for this. The west doorway to the nave is of a mid- to later 12th century date, and unlike virtually everything else on the outside of the church was not totally renewed in 1859. There is a decorated round-headed archway with water-leaf capitals, and much original Caenstone survives. The internal north jamb to the doorway is also mostly of original diagonally-tooled Caenstone blocks. On the north-east side of the chancel is a round-headed (c. mid-12th century) window, which was unblocked in 1859. Glynne in 1846 refers to two 'closed' windows on the north side of the chancel, and 'on the south a fine doorway and two windows, now closed; the former has fine chevron mouldings'. This doorway was reset on the east side of the north-east vestry in 1859, but its fine chevroned arch, over scalloped capitals, is still visible as an entrance to the vestry lobby. The south aisle and south-west tower seem to have been added in the later 12th century. The arcade had already gone by 1846, but part of a respond (with nook-shafts) still survives at the extreme east end. Just beyond this, in the east wall, a fragment of the north jamb of a 12th century window survives. This south aisle had a low southwall until 1859, and its steep-pitched roof continued the line of the main nave roof. The tower at the west end of this aisle has 1859 round-headed arches, on the north and east in a 'decorated Romanesque' style (? designed by Scott). Glynne tells us that originally they were 'very rude semicircular arches'. The south and east windows into the ground floor of the tower may be based on earlier 12th century ones.
During the earlier 13th century, a north transept chapel and north aisle were added. Glynne tells us that 'the north aisle is very low and narrow, divided from the nave by three rude pointed arches with large wall piers having no capitals or impost mouldings'. The pointed arches survive, though a fourth has been added on the west, as well as three extraordinary double piers. The eastern respond is mostly original, however, with bar-stopped chamfers. Another original arch (with bar-stopped chamfers) divides the north aisle from the north-east transept chapel. Glynne also says that there was a lancet at the west end of this aisle. The north-east chapel still has a pair of original lancets on the north (restored externally), and earlier there was apparently a hagioscope from this chapel into the chancel. The upper stage of the tower may be 13th century.
The one later medieval feature that survives is the 3-light early perpendicular window in the west wall of the nave. This too still contains quite a lot of original masonry, and may date from the late 14th century. The 2-light east window, now rebuilt, was probably early 14th century ('poor Middle Pointed' according to Glynne). The early 19th century views show a pair of two-light late perpendicular windows with square hoods on the south side of the chancel.
The chancel still contains some early 16th century fittings, and a roodloft was documented as being made in 1522 (see below). On the north side of the sanctuary are two low rectangular niches which contain the two halves of the effigy for Macobus Kasey (ob. 1512). Above and just to the west of this is some relief sculpture (also ? early 16th century) in a tympanum panel. Was this set originally inside a 12th century doorway? Above this is an early 17th century painting of Robert Bargrave (ob. 1649). On the chancel south wall (at the west end) are fragments of a relief memorial to a vicar, Malcolm Ramsey (ob. 1538). He was vicar of Patrixbourne and Bridge for 44 years. These include part of an inscription.
The tower appears to have been given brick south-east and south-west buttresses in the 17th or 18th century. These were removed in 1859 when a south-east stair-turret was added to the tower. This was apparently restored in 1891.
BUILDING MATERIALS: (Incl. old plaster, paintings, glass, tiles etc.): Virtually the whole of the church has Bathstone dressings, with heavy knapped flint on the exterior. Some 12th century and later Caenstone does, however, survive.

BRIDGE
LIES the next adjoining parish to Patrixborne southward, being written in old deeds, Bregge, and taking its name from the bridge, which was antiently over the stream which crosses it. This parish was in early times so considerable, as to give name both to the hundred and deanry in which it is situated.
IT IS SITUATED about two miles and an half eastward of Canterbury, on the high Dover road, formerly the Roman Watling-street way, which appears high and entire almost throughout it; in the valley on this road stands the village of Bridge, with the church and vicarage in it, a low moist situation, the bourn or stream of the Little Stour crossing it under a stone bridge, built a few years ago by the contributions of the neighbouring gentlemen. At a small distance southward is Bridge place, now inhabited by lady Yates, widow of the late judge Yates, and of Dr. Thomas, late bishop of Rochester. The hills, form which there is a most pleasing prospect, are wholly chalk, as are in general the other upland parts of it, towards the south especially, where the country is very barren, with heathy ground and woodland, and much covered with stones. In this part of the parish is Gosley wood, once belonging to St. Augustine's monastery, afterwards granted to Thomas Colepeper, esq. It belongs now to Mr. Beckingham.
The MANOR OF BLACKMANSBURY, alias BRIDGE, claims over the greatest part of it, and the manor of Patrixborne over that part of this parish on the north side of the Dover road. There are two boroughs in it, viz. of Blackmansbury and of Bridge.
The MANOR OF BLACKMANSBURY, alias BRIDGE, was parcel of the possessions of the abbey of St. Augustine, belonging to the sacristie, as appears by the registers of it, in which frequent mention is made of this manor, with the free tenants belonging to it, in Honpit, Rede, and Blackmansbury. In which state this manor continued till the suppression of the abbey in the 30th year of king Henry VIII. when it came into the king's hands, (fn. 1) where it remained till the 36th year of that reign, when this manor, with divers lands in Houndpit and Blackmanbury, was granted to Henry Laurence, to hold in capite by knight's service, and he that year held a court here; and in his descendants it continued till the 18th of queen Elizabeth's reign, when it was alienated by fine levied, by John Laurence, to William Partherich, esq. whose arms were, Vaire, argent and sable, on a chief of the second, three roses of the first. His grandson Sir Edward Partherich, of this place, passed it away in 1638 to Sir Arnold Braems, descended of a family originally out of Flanders, where his ancestors were opulent merchants. Jacob Braems, his ancestor, was of Dover, merchant, and built the great house now the Custom house there, where he resided. Sir Arnold Braems above-mentioned, bore for his arms, Sable, on a chief, argent, a demi lion Tampant, gules. He built a spacious and magnificent mansion on the scite of the antient court-lodge here, which he named BRIDGE-PLACE, in which he afterwards resided, as did his son Walter Braems, esq. till his death in 1692; but the great cost of building this seat so impoverished the estate, that his heirs, about the year 1704, were obliged to part with it, which they did by sale to John Taylor, esq. of Bisrons, who soon afterwards pulled down the greatest part of this mansion, leaving only one wing of it standing, the size and stateliness of which being of itself full sufficient for a gentleman's residence, cannot but give an idea of the grandeur of the whole building when entire. He died in 1729, since which this manor and seat has continued in his descendants, in like manner as Bisrons abovedescribed, down to his great-grandson Edward Taylor, esq. the present possessor of them. There is not any court held for this manor.
BEREACRE, now called Greatand Little Barakers is another manor in this parish, which in the 21st year of king Edward I. was in the possession of Walter de Kancia, as appears by an inquisition taken that year, at his decease; not long after which it has passed into a family of its own name. After this name was become extinct here, it came into the possession of the Litchfields, who owned much land about Eastry, Tilmanstone, and Betshanger, and in this name it continued till the 22d year of Edward IV. and then Roger Litchfield passed it away to Richard Haut, whose only daughter and heir Margery carried it in marriage to William Isaac, esq. of Patrixborne, from whose descendant Edward Isaac, about the latter end of king Henry VIII. it was sold to Petyt and Weekes, who joined in the sale of it to Naylor, of Renville, from which name it was alienated to Smith and Watkins; after which it was conveyed by sale to John Taylor, esq. of Bisrons, in whose descendants it has continued down to Edward Taylor, esq. the present owner of it.
Charities.
SIR HENRY PALMER, of Bekesborne, by will in 1611, gave 10s. to be yearly paid out of his manor of Well-court, towards the relief of the poor of it.
The poor constantly relieved are about eighteen, casually the same.
BRIDGE is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name.
¶The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter, consists of three isles, a high chancel, and a north sept or chancel in the middle of the north isle. It has a spire steeple at the south-east corner, in which are three bells. In the high chancel, within the altar-rails, is a monument for Jane, second daughter of Walter Harslete, of Bekesborne, first wife of Sir Arnold Braems, ob 1635, and lies buried in St. Mary's church, in Dover; and for Elizabeth, (second daughter of Sir Dudley Diggs) his second wife, obt. 1645, and lies in the middle of this chancel. Against the north wall is a painted portrait of Robert Bargrave, gent. of Bridge, obt. 1649. Under a circular arch in the same wall are two rows of small imagery, carved in stone, the uppermost repre santing God the Father, with several figures on each side; the lower one, figures taken from the history of the Old Testament. Underneath these, in the hollow of the wall, is the figure of a man lying at full length, in robes, with his two hands joined and uplifted, having on his head seemingly a full perriwig. A memorial for John Hardy, esq. of Bridge-place, obt. 1779. On the east side of the south window is a hollow in the wall, and under it an inscription for Macobus Kasey, vicar of Patrixborne, obt. m.v.c.i.xii. and of his being vicar there xxi years. On the opposite side of the window is carved the figure of a scull, with a snake entering in at one eye, and the end of it out at the other, and a hand with a finger pointing up to it, as if it had been the cause of the person's death, and several bones are interspersed about it. The north chancel is made use of for a school, by voluntary contributions. On the south side of the chancel is a circular arched door-way, with Saxon ornaments. In the register are many entries, from the year 1580 to 1660, of the family of Bargrave, alias Bargar, residents in this parish, and one for Thomas, son of John Cheney, gent. who died in 1620.
The church of Bridge, which is a vicarage, was always esteemed as a chapel to the church of Patrixborne, and as such is included in the valuation of that vicarage in the king's books, the vicar of which is instituted and inducted into that vicarage, with the chapel of Bridge annexed to it. (fn. 2)
The parsonage of this parish therefore, as an appendage to that of Patrixborne, is the property of Edward Taylor, esq. of Bifrons. In 1588 here were eightynine communicants, in 1640 one hundred and twenty.
