List of the Gentry in Kent in the Time of Henry VII

( 89 ) LIST OF THE GENTRY OF KENT IN THE TIME OF HENRY VII. Some Notes on the list communicated by Mr. James Greenstreet in Arch. Cant., Vol. XI, pp. 394-97. BY MAJOR BRIAN COPE. IN the list referred to above are recorded the armorial bearings of a certain number of individuals named therein : but in the majority of cases such information is missing. An endeavour is here made to fill in the blanks by recording the armorial bearings ascribed to families of the names in the various ancient Rolls of Arms, Heralds' Visitations, etc., and from other trustworthy sources of information. No date is assigned to the List. Mr. Greenstreet, in the footnotes to his contribution, records memorials in Kentish Churches to three individuals who appear to be identical with persons named in the list—viz., Richard Davy (No. 54), died 15 May, 1491 ; John Wygmore (No. 78), died 23 Oct, 1492, and Richard Norton (No. 81), died 10 Dec : 1500. If these suppositions are correct, this would place the date of the list between 1485 and 1491. The " Lord of Burgaveny " would be George Neville, 2nd Baron, son of Edward Neville, Baron Bergavenny, jure uxoris, Elizabeth Beauchamp, Baroness Bergavenny. He died 20 Sept 1492. The " Lord of Cobham " would be Sir John Brooke, •5th Lord Cobham, who died in 1511. His brass in Cobham Churoh shows the arms of de Cobham (gu : on a chevron or 3 lionoels sa) impaling those of Neville of Bergavenny (as recorded in this list for the Lord of Bergavenny); his wife being Margaret, elder daughter of Edward Neville, Lord Bergavenny, by his second wife Catherine, daughter of Sir 90 LIST OE THE GENTRY OE KENT Robert Howard. There still remain a few names I have not been able to identify with any of the records of armorial bearings I have consulted. Possibly some other member of the Kent Archaeological Society may be able to supply the omissions and publish the information in due course. Note.—Information recorded in CAPITALS is given in Mr. Greenstreet's original list. 1. THE LORD OF BURGAVENY. QUARTERLY. 1. NEVILLE ON THE SATJLTER A ROSE GTT. [gu. on a saltire arg : a rose gu.] 2.
