There was a John Robert Sankey who passed away in East Sussex in 1952, his father was noted as Percy Edward Sankey born in Canterbury. His father was Herbert Tritton Sankey who was the son of Robert Sankey. So that is a possible explanation of why the trunk was found in East Sussex if indeed it was owned by Robert Sankey, lawyer of Canterbury at one time....

May 1804 - Universal Magazine No. V. of Vol. 1

Kent

A work of some magnitude, ingenious and novel, has lately been completed at the brewery of Mr. Alderman SANKEY, in the city of Canterbury. The method for some time practised in several great brewhouses in the metropolis, consists in cooling the wort by running it, by means of an immense worm pipe, through a back of cold liquor, similar to the spirit refrigeratory in the distillery; by which improvement the use of coolers becomes unnecessary, much room and time are saved, and the loss by evaporation and waste prevented. In the application of this new mode here, it was conceived by Mr. SANKEY that the most perfect and permanent refrigeratory or cooling back would be his water well, which is fifteen feet diameter, and of a consderable depth. Accordingly, after much labour and expence, the worm was there fixed, so as to be constantly immersed by the water of a copious spring; and now the work runs from the copper to the bottom of the well, and returns again to the workington through a length of revolving pipe the distance of eight hundred feet.

"In the autumn of 1798, his Royal Highness George Prince of Wales honoured Canterbury with his presence. On the 18th of September he was presented with the freedom of the city, and on the 29th partook of a most sumptuous entertainment which had been prepared for him by the Mayor (M. W. SANKEY, esq.); after which his Royal Highness patronized a public ball for raising a subscription for the relief of the wives and children of those brave men, who fell in the glorious naval victory of Admiral Nelson over the French fleet; his Royal Highness and Prince William of Gloucester condescending to be present at it, and to promote, by their liberal examples, the intention of hte meeting. The Prince of Wales, during his continuance in the neighbourhood, also visited the Cathedral, at which he expressed much admiration; and before his departure sent a contribution of 50 guineas to the Kent and Canterbury Hospital."
