Summary[edit]

Description
English: Cooling Castle, Kent. The eastern tower incorporates a copper plate on which is enamelled the following inscription, set out both in wording and in design as an imitation of an ancient deed:

Knouwyth that beth and schul be
That I am mad in help of the cuntre
In knowing of whyche thing
Thys is chartre and wytnessyng.[1]

Know [those] that are [living] and shall be [living]
That I am made to help the country
In knowing of which thing
This is [a] charter and witnessing.

Below is a seal affixed to two strings, apparently showing the arms of Brooke Gules, on a chevron argent a lion rampant sable crowned or . The inscription was probably intended to serve as a reassurance to the local community that the castle's purpose was purely defensive rather than being for their oppression.[2]
