Appendix 9.

Once the pre-reformation sites were identified, we renumbered them for the second set of simulations. Table 13 gives the new and old site numbers, as well as the grid square in which each site. lies. Sites 1 to 128 new numbering) form the “Main Preref” site list; sites 1 to 163 the “All Preref” site list. Sites 1 to 97 are Kent churches; sites 98 to 105 are Sussex churches.

Notes:

1. After we had done the Main Preref simulations we found that Site 121 was probably only the site of a medieval village [12]. Accordingly we discarded any Coldrum-beating lines which involved it. There were 3 such lines, listed in Appendix 10c.

2. As regards the acceptability, as ley markers, of sites 129 onwards, we took as our guide the standard ley-hunting books, principally Devereux & Thomson [6]. In that book moats, mottes and castles are all used as ley markers. It remains to be seen whether or not there are better reasons for including them in [6] than there are for including some of the moats, mottes and castles in the final site count here.

3. Sites 164 to 166 are problematical and were omitted from the All Preref simulations.

(i) St Leonard’s Tower is called “St Leonard’s Chapel” on OS maps and plans, but according to Newman [3] it is a free-standing keep tower.

(ii) St Faith’s church, Maidstone, was built in 1872. We are not sure whether it is on the same site as the 13th-century St Faith’s church.

(iii) Coleman’s Hatch church is modern, but contains 13th-century tracery [13], so it is not clear just how old this site is.
