of location of gravestones in Meopham Churchyard
INTRODUCTION
The Monumental Inscriptions of St. John’s, Meopham, were first
recorded in the ‘Church Monthly’ of July 1898 by the vicar, the Rev.
L.W. Lewis. This list included names and years of burial and the
location was indicated by the relevant compass point relating to the
church. It was later incorporated in C.H. Golding-Bird’s ‘History of
Meopham’ in 1934. These entries provide a most useful source of
comparison with ours of a century later. Some 20 names of individuals,
all buried before 1898, have been revealed in our own recordings but,
curiously, are missing from the original list. These are mainly 18th
century gravestones on the south side of the church. On the other hand
there are over 50 individuals recorded by L.W. Lewis which we have been
unable to trace. More than half of these are listed as north of the
church and may now lie beneath the tarmacced paths. Others are recorded
as west of the church and on the verge of the widened A227. For the
benefit of researchers these names are listed alphabetically with their
original locations in the appendix. Lewis spoke hopefully of a possible
map of the churchyard but none appeared. A later attempt to record the
tombstones was made in 1972 by Mr. H.W. Davies and lodged at the Centre
for Kentish Studies in 1975 (Ref. TR 1893/1). Four documents were
submitted, containing 70 individual inscriptions, but it is a far from
complete survey and no accompanying plan appears to exist. However, a
comparison with our survey reveals four inscriptions of which we had no
trace. Details of these are also in the appendix.
Our survey was undertaken by eight volunteers from the Meopham
Historical Society and has taken three years to bring to completion. The
churchyard was divided into 11 sections, each with its own plotted map,
and each has been indexed both alphabetically and by location. Two
similar general indexes and a plan of the whole churchyard are included.
(not included in this webpage) In cases where the same
surname occurs more than once the entries are chronologically listed.
Similar indexes with a plan are included for the memorials in the church
itself. Original spellings, punctuation and spaces for illegible letters
have been strictly adhered to and slashes indicate the division of lines
in the inscriptions. Where doubts have arisen about the dates Burial
Registers, Bishop’s Transcripts and Golding-Bird have been consulted;
hence occasional italicised abbreviations, such as BR, BT, GB with
alternative solutions. 266 gravestones survive and 510 individuals have
been identified. The earliest surviving inscription is that of Richard
Masters of Camer, 1689. The Old Churchyard was officially closed in 1923
and later burials (not included in this survey) are in the new graveyard
on the west side of the A227.
