Obituary: Duncan Harrington

The Society learned recently the passing of Duncan Harrington, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the Society of Genealogists and President of the Kent Family History Society. He was a freelance historian and compiled the Kent Records New Series for the Society. With the late Patricia Hyde, he produced two important books on the history of Faversham, Faversham Oyster Fishery and The Early Town Books of Faversham. He has recently published (on CD) Collections for the History of Faversham Abbey, which includes a transcript and translation of the Faversham Abbey Leiger Book.
