The Registers of Lullingstone are contained in two volumes :— Vol. I, composed of 13 vellum leaves (of which one is blank), is a modern leather cover inscribed " LULLINGSTONE REGISTER COMMENCING 1578." The first leaf contains inductions, the next four (one side of one blank) the baptisms, the next quite blank, then three for marriages, the remaining four for burials, and one torn out at end. It is in fair condition and easily read and is an interesting record of the Hart and Dyke families, the other entries being chiefly their connections and dependents, so the whole interest of the Register centres round the Castle. The cover measures 13 by 6 and the leaves roughly 11 by 5.
Vol, II is a sheepskin book with metal clasps with " LULLINGSTONE " on red label on front cover and below a sheet of paper with initial " D " gummed on with " 13aptisms one end of the Book, Burials in the centre and iiarriages the other end." It measures 15x9. It is a marriage book printed and sold by J. Coles, Stationer in Fleet St., 1754; the marriages forms are not printed as is usual in these volumes, but the whole tlung is written, and there are 13 marriages. After the lined pages come a number of perfectly blank leaves without lines, on one of which banns are written, one is devoted to burials and three to baptisms.
