It is arranged on the same principle as The Complete Peerage (eight vols., 8vo., 1884-98), by the same Editor, save that the more convenient form of an alphabetical arrangement has, in this case, had to be abandoned for a chronological one; the former being practically impossible in treating of a dignity in which every holder may (and very many actually do) bear a different name from the grantee. -

Thomas Philipott Villare Cantianum, 2nd edition King’s Lynn 1776 <1> VILLARE CANTIANUM: OR KENT Surveyed and Illustrated. KENT, in Latin Cantium, hath its derivation from Cant, which imports a piece of land thrust into a nook or angle; and certainly the situation hath an aspect upon the name, and makes its etymology authentic. It is divided into five Laths, viz. St. Augustins, Shepway, Scray, Alresford, and Sutton at Hone; and these again are subdivided into their several bailywicks; as namely, St. AUGUSTINS comprehends BREDGE, which contains these Hundreds: 1 Ringesloe 2 Blengate 3 Whitstaple 4 West-gate 5 Downhamford 6 Preston 7 Bredge and Petham 8 Kinghamford and EASTRY, which con= tains these: 1 Wingham 2 Eastry 3 Corniloe 4 Bewesborough SHEPWAY is divided into STOWTING, and that into these hundreds: 1 Folkstone 2 Lovingberg 3 Stowting 4 Heane and SHEPWAY into these: 1 Bircholt Franchise 2 Streat 3 Worth 4 Newchurch 5 Ham 6 Langport 7 St. Martins 8 Aloes Bridge 9 Oxney SCRAY is distinguished into MILTON. comprehends 1 Milton 2 Tenham SCRAY. 1 Feversham 2 Bocton under Blean 3 Felborough CHART and LONGBRIDGE. 1 Wye 2 Birch-Holt Ba= rony 3 Chart and Long-bridge 4 Cale-hill SEVEN HUN= DREDS. 1 Blackbourne 2 Tenderden 3 Barkley 4 Cranbrook 5 Rolvenden 6 Selbrightenden 7 Great Bern= field ALRESFORD is resolved into EYHORN is divided into 1 Eyhorn 2 Maidstone 3 Gillingham and 4 Chetham HOO 1 Hoo 2 Shamell 3 Toltingtrough 4 Larkfield 5 Wrotham and TWYFORD. 1 Twyford 2 Littlefield 3 Lowy of Tun= bridge 4 Brenchly and Hormonden 5 Marden 6 Little Bern= field 7 Wallingston 2 SUTTON at Hone, does only comprehend the bailywick of Sutton at Hone, and that lays claim to these hundreds. -
THE COBHAM FAMILY in the ADMINISTRATION of ENGLAND, 1200-1400 by MRS

TERESA MAY IN the government of medieval England landed families throughout the country played a vital and necessary part. At the centre the king had a staff of professional administrators, but an increase of trained officials in the Crown's pay to cover the whole of the country was, as yet, unthought of. Both when the central government wanted to pursue a particular national policy and when it dealt with the day-to-day administration of the shires, it relied not on a professional cadre of civil servants but upon capable amateurs who were willing to leave their own affairs and attend to whatever had to be done. For the administrative work of the shires the crown used ecclesiastics, magnates and lawyers; magnates because the barons were the king's natural advisers, lawyers because they knew the law and had had a chance to prove themselves capable in the law-courts. For less important work, such as collecting taxes or arraying shire levies, where the commissioners would follow explicit directions from the central government, prominent local gentry were also used. The Cobhams, therefore, being both lawyers and local gentry, and later, barons, were eminently suited for the work of local government. They formed a valuable link between the central government and the shires; as lawyers practising in the capital yet having extensive possessions in the country, as local gentry attending parliament as knights of the shire or barons or sergeants-at-law. -

BY W. H. HAMILTON ROGERS, P.S.A. 1623, Married PETRONEL
IBroob, OP SOMERSET AND DEVON, BARONS OF COBHAM IN KENT. BY W. H. HAMILTON ROGERS, P.S.A. Part III. \ DESCENT of Brook proceeding from a younger son ~ of the main stem of this family, appears to have been first located at Bristol, and subsequently at Long-Ashton, Barrow-Gurney, and Glastonbury, in Somerset. The follow- ing account of them is not offered as complete, but it is believed the principal particulars are included. Its founder was Hugh Brook, third son of Sir Thomas Brook, Junr., of Olditch and Weycroft in Devon, by his wife Joan de la Pole-Braybroke, Lady of Cobham, where he had settled on his marriage with the heiress of that name and place, and where he died in 1429. IBroofe, of IBristoi. HUGH BROOK, who according to the Visitation, Somerset, married - of no further 1623, PETRONEL , whom par- ticulars are recorded. He appears to have left a son Thomas. THOMAS BROOK, not named in the Somerset Visitation, but according to Dr. N orris, the late Vicar of Redcliffe, in his account of that church (1882). " Thomas Canynges, the last surviving grandson of the wealthy and munifi- cent William Canynges, inherited an estate at Wells from his mother, and sold his grandfather's house in Redcliffe Street. In 1500 it seems to have become the residence of Thomas Brook, the father of John Brook, whose gravestone, inlaid with brass, is in Redcliffe church." 110 Papers, fyc. Who he married is not recorded, but in the Gloucestershire Visitation, a Thomas Brooke is mentioned as having married Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Spert, of Stjbonheath, Middle- sex, Comptroller of the Ships to Henry VIII. -
SHAKESPEARE, the WELSH, and the EARLY MODERN ENGLISH THEATER, 1590-1615 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfi
STAGING CAMBRIA: SHAKESPEARE, THE WELSH, AND THE EARLY MODERN ENGLISH THEATER, 1590-1615 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Marisa R. Cull, M.A. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Richard Dutton, Advisor ______________________________ Professor Christopher Highley Advisor English Graduate Program Professor Luke Wilson ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on theatrical representation of Wales and the Welsh at a particularly pressured moment in the development of the English nation. In these twenty- five years, England strengthened its armed forces to fight wars both foreign and domestic, expanded its empire and moved toward a “British” state, and continued adapting to the changes of the Reformation. This dissertation argues that the frequent and varied representation of Wales and the Welsh on the late Tudor and early Stuart stage reveals the extent to which the English understood their national history and identity in relation to their western neighbors. Although Wales has been overshadowed by Ireland and Scotland in studies of early modern English nationalism, its impact on the formation of English national identity should not be underestimated. As the descendants of the heroic ancient Britons (including King Arthur), the Welsh had an enviable narrative of military prowess that the English often co-opted for themselves; moreover, the English annexation of Wales—culminating in the 1536 Act of Union—provided a hopeful precedent for how England might incorporate its most resistant Celtic neighbor, Ireland, and later, for how England might expand into a British empire. -
Edward Wedlake Brayley the Beauties of England and Wales – Kent Published in Parts, 1806–7
Edward Wedlake Brayley The beauties of England and Wales – Kent published in parts, 1806–7 405 <July 1806> KENT. KENT is one of the most interesting counties in England; whether considered in respect to the advantages of its situation for trade and commerce, its extent, the general fertility of its soil, the important events that have been transacted within its limits, the peculiar division of its lands, its numerous antiquities, the acknow- ledged bravery of its inhabitants, the ecclesiastical pre-eminence of its chief city, its produce, or its proximity to the Continent, to which, many learned antiquaries suppose it was originally united by a narrow isthmus, extending between Dover and Calais./1 The arguments advanced in support of the idea of Great Britain having anciently formed part of the Continent, are principally de- rived from the great resemblance which the cliffs of Dover have to those of Boulogne and Calais, on the opposite coast of France. On both shores, these cliffs consist of chalk, with flints intermixed: their faces are rugged and precipitous, appearing as if they had been rent asunder by violence; and their length on both coasts is similar, it bemg about six miles. In the strait immediately be- tween them, the sea is also much shallower than on either side; and to this may be added, that a narrow ridge of sand, with a stony bottom, called the Rip-rapps, extends between Folkstone and Boulogne, its distance from the former being about ten miles, and its length the same: this ridge, at low spring tides, is covered with only fourteen feet water; and another ridge, called the Vane, about six miles off Dover, has scarcely more water on it at the same times, though immediately on each side of both ridges, which are but narrow, the depth increases to twenty-five fathoms. -
Some Account of the Temple Family: Appendix;

The descent of the Temple family has been derived from the Saxon earls of Mercia, and the fabulous arms attributed to those earls, have been, in some cases, prefixed (inthe first quarter) to those originally borne ? by the Temples. The origin of this family, which takes its name from resi dence inone of the houses of the Knights Templars, is recorded upon very substantial evidence, but the genealogical descent is obscure, as the Temples did not rise above the rank of small gen try until the latter part of the XVthcentury. There are two very contradictory lines ofdescent of this family, both however leading to Eobert ITemple, who was seated at Temple Hall,co. Leicester, in the XVth century, and with him we begin our account. This Robert Temple left four sons :Nicholas, who suc ceeded him, but died without issue ; Robert 11, who in herited Temple Hall from his brother Nicholas; Thomas, the founder of the Line of Witney;and Henry, who left no posterity. 4 TEMPLE FAMILY Line of Temple Hall. This Line isno longer heard of after 1660, when its rep resentative, Peter Temple, a regicide, was imprisoned for life and Temple Hall was confiscated. This Peter had four sons ; the two older ones left no issue, and the others and their descendants, if they had any, seem to have dropped out of sight. -
English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century a Work in Progress Listing
English book owners in the seventeenth century A work in progress listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance , extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate. -

The Lords of Cobham, Their Monuments and the Church
Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 11 1877 THE LORDS OF COBHAM, THEIR MONUMENTS, AND THE CHURCH. BY J. G. WALLER. THE village of Cobham, four miles from. G-ravesend and about the same distance from Rochester, is situated on the top of one of the downs of the chalk formation which characterizes the district. It pro- bably derives its name from this feature, as the prefix "Cob" signifies "head" or "top," and is an ana- logue to the G-erman " kopf; " the familiar termina- tion "ham" is as the G-erman " heim," i. e., home. The church is large, and consists of nave with aisles, a spacious chancel, and an embattled tower at the west end, with a beacon turret at its north-west angle. A porch with room above it, on the north side, forms the principal entrance. The oldest portion of the structure is the chancel of Early English architecture; it is finely proportioned, but of great size, when com- pared with the rest of the church. It appears to belong to the first part of the thirteenth century, and is lighted by five lancet windows on each side, with a lancet triplet at the east end. The present roof may have been substituted in the fourteenth century, when it appears that the chancel was in a bad state of repair, but the original roof was at a higher pitch, in agreement with the style, and some corbels remain VOL. XI. E 50 THE LORDS OF COBHAM, which aided in its support. It appears that on March 19,1326-7, a meeting was held in the chancel by the Bishop of Eochester, " Sir John de Cobham, knight, and other parishioners being present, at which the Bishop
