The extracts relating to Folkestone have been of great Bervice to
me S: cleared up the doubts I had relating to that part of my
Accounl of it. As to K[ing] "Whitred's Charter relating to Nun-
helmestone, I fear you never can ascertain the situation ; conjecture
is all you Can hope for in it. if you do not approve of the Conjec-
ture of Outelmestone 1 know qoI whore to direct you to it. There
is a Wilmington in the Parish of Bocton Aiuph, & Lath of Scraj
ahi. •'{ miles from Ashford on the Sigh [road] thither from Canter-
bur] & abt. S miles from Liminge. See vol. 8, Hist. Knit, p ii»::
There is likewise another Wilmington in Limne Parish, about I or
VOL. XXVII. M
162 LETTERS OF EDWAHD HASTED
5 miles from Liminge in the same Lath. I dont find that the
church of Canty, to which the Nunnery of Liminge is said to have
been granted long before the Conquest, ever had any possessions in
Boetou above mentioned, but in Limne it had much, Which on the
division of that Churehe's possessions in ABp. Lanfranc's time, was
allotted to the Archbishops. Tou state the boundaries to be
Berdeshamestire between CEmiguines Way & Streetley (?).
This latter Wilmington is situated close to the Roman Street or
Way Leading from Canterbury to the Portus Lemanis or Limne,
now remaining, & Called Stone street Way, besides which here is
a noted Manor Called Street & another called Berewic, Which
latter formerly belonged to Xst church & was held of the ABp. by
Knights Service ; both these manors, as well as the Street or road,
seem to have some reference to your boundaries, see vol. 3, Hist.
Kent," p. 430, 437, 438, 448. I fear all this will be but little
Berviee to you. but it is the best & all I have to send you. There
is but one hope further. <£ that is from the early Rolls of Liminge
Manor, the present Lord of it can have none higher than Hen. the
gth'a reign, AVhen it was severed from the ABp. [Archbishop],
6 I should think those before that time must be either at Lambeth
or in the Augmentation office, or perhaps both. If you think it of
any use I will apply to the owner of Liminge Manor, the Rev.
M r Price, whom I have Corresponded With on Historical Informa-
tion more than once. Surely the Book in the Cotton Library.
Augustus 11, 83, 92, 93, in which the Catalogue says on all the
Charters relating to the Lands of this Nunnery, can give much
information relating to the situation of this place. You will I hope
excuse my not sending the 4 th volume thro' the hands you desired,
but there were reasons that made it impossible, & I hope it was of
no material consequence to you.
Accept my best thanks, sir, for the liberal manner in Which you
have cancelled my note ; sorry I am that I should have occasion to
trespass on your kind friendship so much.
Wishing you & yours the return of many happy succeeding years,
I remain With much respect, sir,

note — M r Griffith gave it to Surgeon Geekie, Whose da 1 M ri Head

& dyed in Canterbury. Sir John Head above mentioned was a
relation of D 1 Beauvoir's first wife, Miss Boys, A they always kept
up an acquaintance of Intimacy, being near neighbours in the
Precincts of the Cathedral. Who it means When it Bays M Head

conjecture, I should, that the Doctor, if Harbin's Collection came

the latter part of which I have strugled against adversity, & by the
help of many noble & generous friends who knew me in the days of
Prosperity, among Whom yourself stands foremost, & by the
Labours of my Pen I have till now borne myself up from sinking
under it. My property has been torn from me & kept possession
of by the villany of an Attorny, & the Profit I hoped for from
my History is locked up & useless to me ; from the Ballance due
to the Printer, & the Copies, upwards of 260 remain, an unsaleable
pledge for it With him. These AVere all my hopes, & they are
frustrated, & I am now Come to a. state of distress & woe, & I feel

When I had no Idea of the so hasty approach of it. I am no
spendthrift here, sir, I live Secluded from every one, almost a
Hermit, on hard scanty fare. & only know the plenty & Luxuries of
life by distant remembrance. I think from all your past Kindness
to me, that you will not refuse my request in the hour of my
distress, & be assured it Will be ever remembered by me With a
heartfelt Gratitude by, Hear Sir.

CALENDAB OF ANCIENT DEEDS PRESENTED
BY CHARLES MARCHANT, ESQ.
The fifty-four ancient deeds, of which we nowprinl a Calen-
dar, were presented to our Society by Mr. Charles Marchanl
of 11 Duke Street, St. James, in the month of July 1904.
Almost all relate to the parish of Boughton Monchelsea, and
their contents are now made easily accessible to anyone
interested in the genealogical and topographical information
which they contain.
A few yi »ars ago Mr. Charles Pierce Merriam compiled a
History of the Kentish Family of Merriam, a copy of which
he was so good as to preseni to onr Library at Maidstone.
The name Merriam is of frequent i ccurrence in these deeds,
and it' the compiler of the said hook could have consulted
them, we think he would have I n able to Bomewhat
amplify his pedigrees.
The originals are deposited in our Library, and we ven-
ture to express the hope thai Mr. Marchant's generosity
may find imitators.
