JOHN A BROKE
   . . . . 1510. Buried in the church afore the altar of St. John Baptist.^† A priest sing for my soul, etc., at Altar of St. John
  ^* The Broke or Brooke family lived at Brooke Street just beyond Goshall, and in 1582 the property went to the heirs of Stephen Hougharn of Weddington, who had married Bennet Broke. (See Archaeologia Cantianca, Vol. XXXII., pages 28, 30.)
   ^† It is very probable that the Altar of  St. John the Baptist was in the south transept of Ash Church, for John Lewies (so the name is spelt in his will) in Feb. 1525-6 desired to be buried before this Altar ; and according to A Corner of Kent (Ash) , p. 243, his gravestone, with brass of himself and his wife, is in the south transept, and, if in  its original position, and not moved from some other place will identify the position of the Altar.
