This is the third featured issue of the seven transcriptions made by Ken Sainsbury from issues of Whitstable Parish Church Magazines which he has kindly allowed us to include on this site.
This issue is just four months after the last one. Again some new names appear, mainly those of the congregation.
In Ken's notes he states that the vicar has moved on and not yet been replaced. There was a good reason for this as we shall find when discussing the vicar Henry Maugham and his nephew Somerset Maugham on another page.
