Esc Num. 19. But after his Exit it dwelt not long in his Name for in the fourth year of Edward the third William Baude died seised of it as appears Rot. Esc Num. 25. And here again the Title was as fickle and unstable for in the thirty seventh year of Edward the third I find the possession was departed from Baude and cast into the Patrimony of Thomas Wolton who at that Time held it at his Death Rot. Esc Num. 13. But after this Family went out I find the Inheritance more fixed and permanent for by divers old Court-Rolls that were taken in the latter End of Edward the third I discover William de Septuans whose successors were since called Harfleet to be possest of it and from him is the Propriety drawn through the successive Series of many Descents to the Harfleets of this Age who are still entituled to the Signory of it Hells is in the Register also of those Mannors which are within the Circle of this Parish and gave Seat and Sirname to a Family of no shallow Antiquity in this Tract Thomas de Hells obtained a Charter of Free-Warren to his Mannor of Hells in the eighteenth year of Edward the first Bertram de Hells was Lieuetenant of Dover Castle in the Reign of Edward the second under Reginald Lord Cobham Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and Constable of Dover Castle Gilbert de Hells of Hells Court was Sheriff of Kent the thirtieth of Edward the third and in this Name did the Proprietie lodge untill the Reign of Edward the fourth and then it was by sale transplanted into Wroth and the Title there setled untill the latter End of Henry the seventh and then it was by the same Vicissitude carried off to Peake where the instant Inheritance is resident Laverocks is another Seat in Ash possest by Worthy Men of that Name one of them lies buried Cross legged on the North-side of the Quire with his Arme placed on his Shield finally after this Family had for Descents been Proprietaries of this place it came to be possest by Anthony Laverock who deceased without Issue Male so that his Estate here came the eighteenth of Henry the seventh by Parnel his Daughter and Heir to be possest by Edward Monins Esquire and they both not long after passed it away to Peake in whose Posterity and Name the Title is yet remaining Fleet is the last Mannor in Ash which is ennobled by having as high as any Track of Record can guide us to a Discovery the Earls of Oxford for Proprietaries Hugh de Vere Earl of Oxford held it at his Death which was in the forty eighth year of Henry the third Rot. Esc Num. 26. After him it came down to Robert de Vere Earl of Oxford his Son and he likewise enjoyed it at his Departure which was in the twenty fourth year of Edw. the first Rot. Esc Num. 62. In the fifth year of Edw. the third Robert de Vere Earl of Oxford was possessed of it at his Decease Rot. Esc Num. 71. In Ages of a nearer Approach unto us Robert de Vere Duke of Ireland and Earl of Oxford held it but he attempting to support the waning and declining Prerogative of Richard the second against the Assaults which some of the potent Nobility endevoured to make upon it in the tenth year of that Princes Government was ruined in a Battle commenced near Burford after which he attempting to decline the Fury of that Field by Flight was infortunately drowned After whose untimely Decease this Mannor being folded up in the rest of his Estate was seised upon as forfeited to the Crown in the sixteenth year of Richard the second Rot. Esc 34.

Esc Num. 17. from it passed along to John Earl of Oxford who so vigorously asserted the Interest of the House of Lancaster at the Battle of Barnet where his Valour was ruinous to him for his Army was discomfited and the great Leader of that Day the Earl of Warwick disdaining to out-live so black and finister a Mis-fortune found his Sepulcher in the Carnage of that Field but he was reserved for better Times having provided for his safety by a timely Escape he was afterwards attainted in the twelfth year of Edward the fourth Rot. Esc Num. 28. and this Mannor as an Escheat annexed to the Royal Revenue where it made its abode untill the first year of K. Henry the seventh and then that Prince after Bosworth Field where he obtained both the Crown and Victory together principally by the Courage and Conduct of the above mentioned Earl restored this Mannor to this worthy Person as a guerdon of so great Obligations and in this Family did it afterwards without any Interruption continue untill the Beginning of Q. Elizabeth and then Gurson which was a principal part of it was sold by John Earl of Oxford to Hamon and the Residue of this Mannor to Peyton and Harfleet in which Families the Interest of this Mannor thus resolved and split into Parcels is at this instant resident Richborough Castle called sometimes Ratesborough though now it be onely eminent by those majestick Ruines which at distance court the Eye of the Beholder yet in Ages of a more reverend Inscription it was of more considerable Account Ausonius in his Poems mentions one Flavius Sanctius who was Commander in Chief of this Fortress as appears by this Distich Militiam nullo qui Turbine sedulus egit Praeside laelatus quo Rutupinus Ager And in another Distich he Records the Death of his Uncle Contentus who paid the last Debt he owed to Nature at this Place upon whose Ashes he drops this Memorial Et Patruos Elegia meos reminiscere Cantus Contentum Tellus quem Rutupina tegit If you will hear more of this Castle I shall represent it to you as Leland describes it in the thirtieth year of Hen. the eighth at which Time he visited several Parts of this County The Site of the old Town or Castle sayes he is wonderful fair upon a Hill the Walls which remain there yet be in compass about almost as
