About this title

Synopsis

A Perambulation Of Kent: Conteining The Description, Hystorie, And Customes Of That Shire by William Lambarde is a late medieval English topographic chronicle of Kent. It blends geography, etymology, and local governance with brief narratives of historic events, tracing coastal and inland places from Rumney along marshes and rivers into the Weald and toward Canterbury. The work describes the Medway river system, inlets, and important crossings and ports, showing how landscape shaped defense, trade, and settlement patterns. It surveys royal and ecclesiastical power from Danish invasions to the roles of archbishops and bishops in Kent, and it discusses monastic foundations and town privileges, illustrating how abbeys and priories influenced wealth, landholding, and urban development in Maidstone, Wye, Canterbury, Boxley, Feversham, and surrounding towns. Frequent place-name etymologies and linguistic shifts trace Anglo-Saxon roots through Norman influence, marking cultural change. The text includes discussions of Gavelkind, surveys of Kent towns and manors, and transcriptions of wills and charters, all framed by polemical commentary on relic worship and calls for reform.
