Overview

Excerpt from Memorials of Herne, Kent In offering Memorials of Herne to the public I do not pretend to have very much knowledge of archaeology, including as that vast subject does in its legitimate sphere, palaeography, heraldry, and architecture. I have simply endeavoured to collect from various sources, a brief but comprehensive history of parish, and to furnish the visitor with a guide to the Church which will indicate and explain its chief points of interest. I also earnestly hope (Herne Church being so well and widely known), by calling attention to the deplorable condition of the North Aisle - the only part now in need of repair - to obtain some assistance towards a new roof. I am indebted to Hasted's account of Herne, in his History of Kent, Duncombe's History of Herne and Reculver (published in Nichol's Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica), and a miscellaneous collection by the late Charles Devon (Public Record Office), kindly lent me by Mr. Edward White, of Herne Bay, for much valuable information. My thanks are due, and are here gratefully tendered, to the following gentlemen for advice and assistance: W. de Gray Birch, F.S.A., and G. K. Fortescue (British Museum), James Gairdner (Public Record Office), J. Challoner Smith (Somerset House), S. W. Kershaw, F.S.A. (Lambert Palace Library), and Charles Welch (Guildhall Library). I am sure if the clergy knew the willingness of the learned in high places to help amateur authors, who have a good object in view, there would be many more and better parochial histories written.
