There was William Hadlow the weaver, William Hadlow, junior (with no obvious "William Hadlow, senior") and other children of William Hadlow who cannot be fitted into either of these families. There is also little continuity in that, although records of Hadlows stretch from the beginning of the records in the 1560s up to the 1630s, it is not possible to match up the generations. The births of 45 children are recorded but, of these, nothing more is known for at least 31. Four wills have survived: William Hadlow 14 Sep 1609 CKS: Pws/w/8/3 page h.13 Theophilus Hadlow 18 Mar 1626 CKS: Pws/w/8/27 page h.20 William Hadlow 25 Jun 1627 CKS: Pws/w/8/31 page h.29 Joan Hadlow 9 May 1631 CKS: Pws/w/8/71 page h.34 h.6 Theophilus was buried on 21st April 1626 and William, the testator of June 1627 on 15th September 1627. Joan, who was the widow of William died 1627, lived for another seven years after writing her will being buried on 27th October 1638. There were also Hadlows in Shipbourne and Seal but there seems no way of finding out how, if at all, the various Hadlows were connected. The Sixteenth Century Hadlows There were a number of Hadlow families in Ightham having children in the second half of the sixteenth century. Other individuals were: Secille Hadlow buried on 20th February 1565; nothing was given except the name - Cecil or Cecily? - a man or a woman? Henry Hadlow Henry Hadlow was described as an ale-taster in the Ightham Court Records for 1553-1574. His wife, Alice, was buried on 27th August 1560 and he himself on 15th January 1570. h.7 If the Henry Hadlow who died in 1570 was the Henry Hadlow referred to by William Pelsett during the Bing v. Hooper case (see Excerpts from Ightham Court Records) as being "a man of the age of 76 years", apparently at the beginning of Elizabeth's reign (CRI 1938, p.84), he was 86 when he died. The Thomas Hadlows Thomas Hadlow, ploughwright (i295), had a son, Thomas (i297), baptised on 21st December 1567. There were two families headed by a Thomas Hadlow: Num Name Born Married Spouse M C Died i298 HADLOW, Thomas <1560 1 3 -------------- ! i299 HADLOW, Theophilus 9 Apr 1581 0 0 ! i304 Hadlow, Jane 19 Jul 1584 0 0 ! i306 Hadlow, Dorothy 2 Feb 1587 21 Jun 1612(K) Robert HUGGINS1 1 1 married at 25 1 married in Kemsing; Robert (k649) and Dorothy had a son Thomas (k651) baptised in Kemsing on 3rd January 1613. h.8 Num Name Born Married Spouse M C Died i297 HADLOW, Thomas 21 Dec 1567 1 5 -------------- ! i1324 Hadlow, Elizabeth 21 Feb 1591 0 0 ! i326 HADLOW, Thomas 16 Oct 1592 0 0 ! i327 HADLOW, Nicholas 11 Feb 1593 0 0 ! i328 HADLOW, Reginold 1 Jun 1595 0 0 ! i329 HADLOW, Thomas 13 Jun 1596 0 0 The second family could be the children of the ploughwright’s son or those of i298. Theophilus, the eldest son of i298, cannot have been the testator whose will has survived since William, the eldest son of the testator was baptised in 1588. Perhaps i298 had a brother Theophilus who was the testator. Two Thomas Hadlows died in 1596, one was buried on 26th January and the other on 30th October; one is likely to have been the ploughwright but who was the other? A Thomas Hadlow, weaver, was mentioned in the Court Records for 1586-1618; this could have been either i297 or i298. h.9 William Hadlow, weaver Eleven children of William Hadlow were recorded in Ightham between 1562 and 1583, all except the first two being the children of “William Hadlow, weaver” Num Name Born Married Spouse M C Died i270 HADLOW, William <1542 1 11 --------------- ! i272 Hadlow, Jane 19 Jul 1562 0 0 7 Apr 1598 was this the Jane Hadlow who died 1598? ! i273 Hadlow, Elizabeth 8 Dec 1566 0 0 ! i274 HADLOW, William 15 Dec 1567 0 0 too young to be William Hadlow, junior in 1572 ! i276 Hadlow, Katherine2 5 Feb 1570 0 0 ! i277 Hadlow, Elizabeth 20 Apr 1572 0 0 ! i278 HADLOW, Walter 7 Nov 1574 0 0 10 Nov 1574 <1 wk ! i279 Hadlow, Margaret 28 Oct 1575 0 0 29 Oct 1575 <1 wk ! i280 HADLOW, Matthew 11 Nov 1576 0 0 ! i281 Hadlow, Anne 10 Feb 1579 0 0 ! i303 Hadlow, Agnes 0 0 15 Mar 1581 ! i302 HADLOW, Richard 12 May 1583 0 0 2 could be the Catherine Hadlow who married Richard Johnson (i711) in 1590 - see Johnson h.10 Another Elizabeth, daughter of William Hadlow, was baptised on 14th February 1567. Only one of these Elizabeths can have been the daughter of William the weaver. A William Hadlow, borsholder was mentioned in the Court Records for 1553-74 and this could have been i270. The William Hadlow mentioned between 1586 and 1618 was described in the list of names (CRI 1938, p.58) as borsholder, ploughwright and weaver. By 1597, the last recorded entry for a William Hadlow, i270 would have been about 60. The two detailed entries are: - On 5th April 1592 William Hadlow was to be fined 10s if the stranger he had received -"Johnson" - was not removed or sureties found for him. (CRI 1938, p.17). Was there any connection between this Johnson and the husband of Catherine Hadlow? - William Hadlow was one of the residents within the View of Frank-pledge in October 1597 who made default but was pardoned because he had not been sufficiently summoned to the Court.

    Ightham Mote: Topographical Analysis of the Landscape

    8 IGHTHAM MOTE: TOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE LANDSCAPE Matthew Johnson, Timothy Sly, Carrie Willis1 Abstract. This chapter reports on survey at Ightham Mote in 2013 and 2014, and puts the survey results in the context of a wider analysis of the Ightham landscape. Ightham is another late medieval building surrounded by water features, whose setting might be seen as a ‘designed landscape’. Here, we outline and evaluate the evidence for the landscape as it developed through time. As with the other buildings and landscapes discussed in this volume, rather than argue for either an exclusively utilitarian or exclusively aesthetic view, we provide an alternative framework with which to explore the way that barriers and constraints on movement in physical space reflect boundaries in social space. Rather than labelling a landscape aesthetic or practical, we can identify the practices and experiences implicated in landscapes, and their active role in social relations. Ightham Mote is the fourth late medieval building and landscape to be discussed in this volume (Fig. 8.1; for location see Fig. 1.1). Like the others, Ightham is a National Trust property. The buildings consist of an inner and outer court, whose ‘footprint’ and external appearance was probably substantially complete by the end of the Middle Ages. The standing structure is a patchwork of different building phases from the early 14th century to the present day. Most recently, the building went through a comprehensive conservation programme costing over ten million pounds, and involving the controlled disassembly and reconstruction of large parts of the house. The information revealed by this process enabled others to put together a very detailed outline of the development of the house from Fig.

  • Past and Present

    Past and Present

    BOROUGH GREEN PAST & PRESENT Train at station CHAPTER ONE Early Life, Folks and Fauna Borough Green is situated around the junction of what is now the A25 and A227. This was the origin of the hamlet, an ideal spot for wheelwrights, blacksmiths and inns. The Roman Military Way Westward was the forerunner of the A25. Traders and merchandise from Gravesend proceeding to Tonbridge and beyond were the source of the A227 route. It was formed as a civil parish under the Kent Review Order of 1934. Prior to this it was part Wrotham and part Ightham and it is in their records that some history can be found. Its name has had various spellings over the years – Barrow Green, 1575, 1587, Boroe Green 1594, Burrough Green, 1697, Burrow Green, 1713. The exact source of the name is unknown. The original parish of Wrotham was divided into six boroughs, Town, Stansted, Nepicar, Winfield, Roughwaye and Hale. It is thought that Borough Green was the site for games and sports for the area, not a village green, but a “Borough Green”. Another theory is that it was Barrow Green, of which there is some evidence. A further theory is that it was Boroe Green from the Anglo Saxon for a place of refuge. A number of Roman cinerary urns were unearthed on Barrow Field, off Staley’s Road in 1839. On a farm, belonging to a Mr. Biggs at Borough Green, some labourers came upon a cinerary deposit, about the year 1839. Several of the urns were taken home by an old man working on the spot, but as this act was followed by bad luck or ill-health, he buried them in the garden.
