Extract

Mr. Thomas Fisher has favoured me with the inclosed delineation of a triple stone seat in the chancel of the church of Upchurch, a parish in East Kent, Situated between Rainham and the river Medway; and, as, to the best of my recollection, these stalls differ in form from any specimen hitherto exhibited to the Society of Antiquaries, I am inclined to believe that this representation of them may not be unacceptable.

Item audivimus, quod propter sedilia in ecclesia rixantur multoties parochiani, duobus vel pluribus ununi sedile vendicantibus; propter quod grave scandalum in ecclesia generatur, et divinum fæpius impeditur officium; statuimus quod nullus de cætero quasi proprium sedile in ecclesia valeat vendicare, nobilibus personis et ecclesiarum patronis duntaxat exceptis; si qui orandi causa primo ecclesiam introierit juxta propriæ voluntatis arbitrium sibieligat orandi locum.
