In the church in Stalisfield are stained glass windows with the name Jerome Nicholas on them.
Stalisfield Church

It's a bit odd (as rather lovely), as it's a Hail Mary window and generally 'Virgin-Mary-veneration' was more in the Roman Catholic than the Anglican (Protestant) tradition. Perhaps the Rev J N V was what we call 'High Church' ('Anglo-Catholic').

The stone of Jerome Nicholas Vlieland and his wife Francis Elisabeth in Stalisfield churchyard.

Stalisfield church.

Jerome Nicholas Vlieland the younger also known as the vicar or the reverend.

English census of 1861.

I found Jerome N. Vlieland the Younger, Vicar of Stalisfield, living with wife Frances and their four children and an aunt of the wife, in the Vicarage in Stalisfield, Kent.

They also had live-in servants.

They are Buried on the north side of the church and East of the path to the porch

Jerome Nicholas Vlieland the younger was the vicar of Stalisfield.

In the graveyard we still can find the gravestones.
Thanks for these pictures go to Peter and Monica Watkins and to Patricia Thompson, who shows visitors round Stalisfield church and located the graves in the churchyard.
On the photographs you can see the stained glass window erected in Jerome Nicholas' memory,the roll of vicars,the pictures of the Vlieland grave.
