Duncan’s  -  Notes on Charing 1920.

Section 1
The Parish Church of Charing "was burnt upon Tuesday the 4^th August 1590 and the bells in the Steeple melted with the extremity of the fire Nothing of the church was left but the bare walls except the floor over the porch and the floor over the turret where the weathercock doth stand. The fire chanced by means of a birding piece discharged be one Mr Dios which fired in the shingels the day being extreem hot and the shingels very dry". Thus is the calamity recorded by Stahlschmidt in his Church Bells of Kent. Weever states the birding piece was discharged at a pigeon then upon the church. This accounts for the absence of any Memorials in the church of Mediaeval date and the fire also destroyed the glass windows which contained records of the Brent family in the Lady Chapel. The fire appears further to have burnt the Registers and other records as the existing books start from 14^th August 1590.

Section 3
After the fire the Churchwardens purchased a large quarto volume, paper, bound in limp dark brown leather, tooled. "The Book of Regester for the Parish of Charinge for the year of our Lord 1590, 14^th August". Headings were opened at various places for Christenings, Marriages and Burials and for the parish accounts. The first three were discontinued from 1598 when they were copied into a new parchment Register [ Register I] and the book was then used solely for accounts which run from 1590 to 1672.
   Volume II contains Burials in Woollen 1698-1801.
   Volume III Accounts 1698-1740.
   Volume IV Book of Briefs 1707-1740.
   Volume V Assessments and Accounts 1672-1724.
   Volume VI Overseers Accounts 1750-1772.
The series then goes down to recent date.
