[When this letter was read to the members of our Societyassembled in Dodington Church, the Rev. R. P. Coatessuggested that the low side window may have been connectedwith the cell of an anchorite, or Anker. In DarenthChurchyard he had found traces of a cross wall, at right anglesto the chancel wall, just beyond one of these windows. Thislooked as if an anchorites cell might formerly have existedthere. Where no graves were in the way, Mr. Coatessuggested that excavations should be made outside the lowside windows, for the purpose of tracing whether cells hadexisted contiguous to them in the churchyard.] ( 2iO ). HAWKHUBST CHUBCH, FROM THE SOrTH-rAST, THE CHURCH OF ST. LAURENCE, HAWKHURST. BY THE VICAR, THE REV. H. A. JEFFREYS, STUDENT OF CH. CH. OXFORD ; AND HON. CANON OF CANTERBURY. Hawkhurst is not mentioned in Domesday Book,and we may safely assume that it did not possess anycliurch at the time of the Norman Conquest. Lambarde, who wrote his Perambulation of Kent300 years ago (1570), records a tradition to which heattaches some likelihood, that the Weald of Kentremained a wilderness for many years after the restof the county was peopled. Hawkhurst, which is apart of the Weald, and was in the thick of the royalforest occupying the site of the great wood called bythe Romans Anderida, would have been especiallylikely to be late in being constituted into a the days of the Conqueror its inhabitants weresparse, settlers in the wood here and there, each j^in-cipal occupier,—squatter as he would now be called CHURCH OF ST. LAURENCE, HAWKHURST. 241 ill Australia,
