sample: LAmberherst lies in the Hundred of Little Bernefield, and was sometimes written Lamberts-hurst, from Lambert a Saxon Owner; in old English, this Name imports as much as bright, or holy and glorious Lamp, as Herebert is bright Lord. Part of this Parish is in Kent, and the other part in Sussex, distinguished by a small Stream which rises nere Cowden, and glides through this Town towards Medway. The Lordship of Lamberhurst it self, with the Mannor of Woodroff, belonged to the Monastery of Roberts Bridge, and after the Dissolution, were, by Henry the eighth, granted in the thirteenth of his Reign to Sir William Sidney, Tutor to King Edward the sixth, when he was Prince, whose SUccessor Robert Sidney Earl of Leicester, sold Lamberherst in our Fathers Memory to Mr. Porter, and Woodroff to Sir Edw. Henden, one of the Barons of the Exchequer, who bequeathed it to his Nephew Sir John Henden lately deceased. (p. 209)
