Tall brass with decorative vine-leaf border on red background, topped by a cross in a crown and floral motifs
are laid the remains of The Revd Samuel JOY M.A. Honorary Canon of Canterbury Vicar of this Parish for over nine years until called by the Archbishop in 1896 to the charge of the Parish of All Saints Maidstone. His unflagging zeal and wise judgment won the confidence and affection of his flock and his desire that his resting place should be under the shadow of this Church proved his devotion to the Parish of Benenden. This record is placed here by Parishioners who "Knew his work Loved the man and revere his Memory". He died December 12th at Maidstone and was buried here Dec. 16th 1903
