John Thorpe (1715-1792), one of the greatest of Kentish antiquaries, was the son of a Rochester physician who devoted his leisure to the history of the diocese of Rochester.


On his father's death in 1750 John undertook to edit and publish a number of transcripts made by his father from the registers and ancient deeds and muniments of the cathedral and other repositories.

This resulted in the appearance in 1769 of the first of John Thorpe's great works, the Registrum Roffense, in which are preserved the fruits of his fathers many years of research.

Twenty years later, in 1788, he published his second major work, his Custumale Roffense, a transcription of a manuscript in the archives of the Cathedral at Rochester, to which he added further information on the institutions whose records had been subject of the Registrum.
