Excerpt from The History of the Castle, Town, and Port of Dover The materials at the disposal of a writer on Dover are fairly abundant. The British Museum possesses a quantity of very valuable documents, the town accounts exist from the year 1365, and the minutes of the Common Assemblies from 1506. In addition to these important records numerous other manuscripts, many of them of the greatest value, have been consulted personally, and Professor Burrows very kindly placed his notes of others at my disposal. The Castle records have, with very few exceptions, been lost or destroyed, and, although a certain amount of information has been collected, I feel that the account given of it is very inadequate. Two subjects caused me much anxiety, the Church of St. Mary-in-the-Castle, and the list of Constables. So much has been written on the former subject, and so many different opinions have been expressed by really competent authorities, that I felt the greatest diffidence in expressing my own on the vexed point of the age of the building.
