74 and levelled, by command of the Pope, in 1191. (Tanner, Notit. Monast. Kent, XXVII, in Monast. VI, 1455.)

143. .—This designation is necessary because no name is given to this estate, of which it is merely said in (D. B.) that it was in the hundred of Wye, having a church, a mill of nine shillings and sixty eels, twenty acres of meadow land, and a wood of thirty hogs: it was therefore some spot upon a small stream, but we possess no other means of assigning its locality.

144. .—(A.D. 1291) has "Ecclia de Hacchelweldeii," which I have supposed to signify High Halden, and therefore marked that place with *. It is however possible, that the (A.D. 1291) name may mean Hecchindenne in the adjoining parish of Bethersden; where see the Note; at which spot a chapel is said to have existed formerly.

145. .—Brass: Silvester, wife of Will. Dalyson, and four children, 1587. (Reg. Roff.)—In this parish are the remains of a palace of the bishops of Rochester.—(Reg. Roff.) speaks of the free chapel of St. Lawrence in Halling; which was suppressed 1st of K. Edward VI. (Hasted.) It is noticed in (Val. Eccl.)

The date of the above notice is between 1434 and 1478 —Langridge is an ancient manor in this parish, formerly called Bavent. The house is remarkable for some chimneys of the period of Queen Elizabeth.

146. .—Brasses: Will. Burys, in armour, 1444; Will. Petley and wife Alys, 1528. (Reg. Roff.)—"A faire Chappel on the north side of the Church here," and also "the steeple" were rebuilt "with stone from the ground," and "a porch" was added, 1609, by "Tho. Watson, Esquire, sometimes of this parish." He also, beside other improvements, "adorned the east end with a very faire arid curious glasse window, wrought in rich colours." (Kilburne.)

147. .—(D. B.) affords no clue whereby to discern Upper from Lower Hardres. In (A.D. 1291) we find "Ecclia de Magna Hardres cum capella ;" which last appears from a note to have been Stelling. In (Val. Eccl.) the same. The two cures remain annexed.

Upper or Great Hardres.—Brasses: John Strete, rector, 1404; Geo. Hardres, 1485; Tho. and John Hardres, 1575;
