"...It is possible that some of this material was derived from the landscaping works, but the dating of the levels suggests that most of the dumping occured slightly later, possibly when cellared buildings to the south-west (Dane John Grove) were erected in 1822." (Shakespeare's Terrace (nos. 12-15 Dane John))

John BRENT, Secretary to the Kent and Canterbury Building Society, and Registrar for Canterbury and F.S.A. (Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries) *

John Brent (1808-1882) antiquary and novelist, was born at Rotherhithe on 21 Aug. 1808, and was the eldest son of a father of the same name*, a shipbuilder there, who about the year 1821 removed to Canterbury, and became thrice mayor of the city and deputy-lieutenant of the county. His mother was Susannah, third daughter of the Rev. Sampson Kingsford of Sturry, near Canterbury. In his early days he carried on the buisness of a miller, occupied for many years a seat on the council of Canterbury corporation, and was elected an alderman, but resigned that position on being appointed treasurer. Brend died at his house on the Dane John, Canterbury, 23, April 1882. During the course of a long life, he was indefatigable in his attempst to throw light on the past history of the city and county in which he dwelt. He became a fellow of the society of Antiquaries in April 1853. amd was also a member of the British Archaeological Association and of the Kent Archaeological Society. His contributions to antiquarian literature are mostly to be found in the various publications of these societies.....In 1855 he had published a revised edition of Felix Summerly's Handbook for Canterbury, and in 1875 there appeared his Catalogue of the Antiquities in the Canterbury Museum, of which he was an honorary curator. His work upon "Canterbury in the Olden Time", 8vo, 1860 (enlarged in 1879) from its research and originality, bears testimony to his unwearied industry and his ability as an antiquarian topographer. Brent also claims notice as a poet and novelist, having published..... At the time of the insurrection in Poland, Brent became the local secretary of the Polish Association. ...

Samuel BRENT died 1814, his father was John BRENT d. 1812 (also a shipbuilder)

Mr. John Brent, F.S.A. an antiquary who made the history of the Metropolitan city of England the subject of his study for many years, died at Dane John, Canterbury on April 23. The family originally resided at Cossington in Somerset, but removed to Kent about a century ago; and Mr. Brent was born in that county in 1808. His first work in antiquarian literature was a revised edition of the Handbook of Canterbury, by Felix Summerly, the nom-de-guerre of the late Sir Henry Cole. His own learned and intersting volume on Canterbury in the Olden Time was first published in 1860. It has since been reprinted, and is universally accepted as one of themost accurate and valuable specimens of topgraphical literature ever issued in this country. Mr. Brent published two volumes of poetry, and was a frequent contributor to the pages of the archaeological magazines. The pilgrms to Canterbury should hold his name in especial honour for the patient labour which he bestowed on its past history. The Academy 1882
