Men of Kent and Kentishmen/Stephen Birchington
Stephen Birchington,
BIOGRAPHER,
In all probability took his name from the place of that appellation in the isle of Thanet. He was a monk of Christ Church, Canterbury, in which foundation he held the offices of Treasurer and Warden. He was the Author of a work entitled "Vitæ Archiepiscoporum Cant." included in Wharton's "Anglia Sacra," and, as Wharton thinks, of other treatises on English and Roman History.
