14. The deed is recorded in CCR Edward III  X (1354-60), 629. Under the general law, a husband took a life estate in his deceased wife’s lands by the Curtesy (which had nothing to do with courtesy), provided that a child of the marriage capable of inheriting had been born alive. In gavelkind, the husband’s entitlement on his wife’s death was to a life interest in one half of her lands, whether or not there had been issue of the marriage.
   Presumably de Wauere’ s house at Canterbury was without the city wall. The church of St Paul is about equidistant from the site of Burgate and the Cemetery Gate of St Augustine’s Abbey. As to the Canterbury bailiff a, see KR XVIII, 210.

16.  Hasted II, 469-70. Hasted only refers to Jeffry de Faukeham in relation to Scotgrove; he does not mention him in his account of the Fawkham manor.

20. The graffito is recorded in S.K. Keyes, Dartford Historical Notes (1933), 617-8, where it is stated that Fane’s fellow prisoner, who wrote his name as ‘T. Culpepper, of Dartford’, was also pardoned. Fane was knighted in the reign of Elizabeth I. For an account of his subsequent career, see DNB I, 659.

21.  CPR Philip & Mary (1554-5), 49.

22.  Selby MSS, T1/2$ (quitclaim of 28 September 1556). Also included were le lyvet (presumably the later Redlibbets Wood) and le Northiandes (no doubt the later Northlands Wood and Northlands Field), which were not far from Scotgrove Wood, and Parresse, which adjoined it. The other parcels were Holmer, Farthams, Coppedfeld, Coppedgrove, Northfeld, Homefeld, Otecrofte and Perymans, of which, as appears from the deed referred to in note 24, below, Northfeld and Homefeld were certainly in Ash parish. Possibly all thirteen parcels were once demesne lands of the Scotgrove manor.
