Some Monumental Inscriptions in St
Martin's Church, Acrise
Noted by Leland
L. Duncan
The
following is as far as possible an exact transcription of Mr L. L.
Duncan's field notebook for the M.I.s in the Folkestone area where he
seems have stayed during September and October 1891. His
notebook written up in his shorthand, in pencil, on the site leave
something to be desired. The paper of the notebook has over time
become somewhat dirty and aged but is an immensely valuable record of
that date.
