The following is as far as possible
an exact transcription of Mr L.L. Duncan's field notebook for the M.I.s in
Kemsing churchyard. His notebooks written up in his shorthand, in pencil, on
the site leave something to be desired. The notebooks measure 4½ x 7 inches and
over time the paper has become somewhat aged but are an immensely valuable
record of that date.

Castle in Surrey. Died after a long illness 12.3.1770 aged 45. Erected by her
husband.
The remaining

10.9.21 L.L.D.
The church when it
was enlarged and the North aisle added was repaved so that no old flooring
remains. There is a tablet on the South wall of the chancel but I could not see
the inscription. C.1840 -I should say.
The old chancel screen has been made up into a
new and very ornate one with coving,
loft, Rood, Mary and John and Cherubim and the
Royal Arms under the Rood - the
chancel looks
very
"Comper-esque". It is very ornate with
much oak carving and shields of arms and a great Tester over the altar,. On the
floor in the centre afore the altar step is a modern brass with canopy &c
to a priest - ? Mr Skarratt (No.154).
