CANTERBURY

Maynards Hospital
But the buildings of this hospital and chapel, having been blown down by the great storm, which happened on Nov. 3, 1703, were all rebuilt from the foundation with brick, by the charitable contribution of the mayor, aldermen, and other worthy benefactors, in the year 1708, John Beaumont, esq. being then mayor; the work being first principally promoted and carried on by the application of alderman Oughton, chamberlain, and alderman Wilson, master of this hospital; the contributions amounting to upwards of 300l. and the expences of erecting the buildings to 299l. and upwards, as appears by the chamberlain's accounts.


"There can be no doubt, as will appear, that Anthony Oughton was the "Mr. Oughton" who was a neighbor of the writer of the Letter. Born in 1664 he was an Apothecary by trade, completed his apprenticeship with one Israel Jacob, was sworn a Freeman of Canterbury, November 29, 1687, and served his city in many capacities, as Common Councillor (1690), Sheriff (1697), Alderman (1700), Chamberlain (1706) and Mayor in 1702 and again in 1730."

…to Anthony Oughton, "descended from an ancient family of that name in Warwickshire…lived in the city 66 years', d. 1750 aged eighty-seven, a mural with arms in St. Margaret's."

Here lie the bodies of Anthony Oughton, gent. and of Ann his wife, to whose memory the marble on the wall is erected.
These which follow are marbles against the wall:


To the memory of Anthony Oughton, gent.
Descended from an ancient family
Of that name of Fillongley in Warwickshire,
But for three score and six years
An inhabitant of this parish
And to Ann his wife
Daughter of Sir James Bunce, of Kimsing,
By Dorothy daughter of Sir William Hugesson
Of Provender, both of this county.
They had issue three sons and one daughter
Of whom the last only surviving,
Hath appointed this table to their remembrance.
He died August 27, 1750, aged 87
She died March 12, 1732, aged 66
