Long before his death he granted these parts, described as his manor of Kingsdown, by letters patent shown to the jurors and dated at his castle of Denbigh, 28 June 1424 , to his beloved servant Richard Maydestan for his good and acceptable service, for life without rendering anything to Edmund, reserving to the late earl and his heirs all knights’ fees, church advowsons, escheat, wardship, marriage, relief and all profits of the court under the terms contained in the letters patent. By other letters patent of the same place and date and similarly shown to the jurors, he deputed his beloved Roger Wynter , his receiver in Kent, to deliver seisin to Richard, to have for life according to the tenor of the letters patent to him, as is contained more fully in these letters patent. Richard, who survives, is still seised in his demesne as of free tenement.
Edmund held in his demesne as of fee 1/6 knight’s fee in Kingsdown, pertaining to these 3 parts, which Laurence Chymbeham ’s heirs held, annual value when it falls 16s. 4d.
The other rights of escheat, wardship, marriage and relief reserved in the letters patent are worth nothing yearly, and the perquisites of the court are worth nothing after the steward’s expense.
He held in his demesne as of fee tail the manor of Wickhambreaux with the advowson of the church, which is extended at £20 yearly, by knight service.
The manor and advowson were given by Edward III to Edmund earl of Kent according to the letters patent detailed in 471 , and descended according to the pattern detailed in 471 . Edmund earl of March was assigned the manor and advowson as his share according to the partition detailed in 471 .
In the manor there are the site with a hall, a chamber, a kitchen, a granary, 2 stables, a piggery and 3 barns, worth nothing yearly; 300 a. arable at ‘le Doune’, each acre worth 8d. yearly; 300 a. pasture from the salt-marsh, each acre worth 8d. yearly; 2 water-mills, one derelict, worth £4 yearly; a ferry called Grove Ferry which was formerly built in the place arranged for passage across the king’s river Great Stour and is now built in a place where there is no mooring from one bank of the Great Stour except by the grace and permission of William Bryan, whose land and sole property abutts the river on the north, and when he permits access the ferry is worth 30s. yearly; an unenclosed park called ‘Trendele Park’, its pasture worth 13s. 4d. yearly; an estimated 200 a. wood and underwood in this park, of which it is possible seasonably to fell 8 a. underwood yearly, each acre then worth 6s. 8d.; £18 assize rents, with services and customs of the tenants, levied at the four principal annual terms; perquisites of the court, worth 3s. 4d. yearly after the steward’s expenses; and rents of 100 cocks and hens at Christmas, price of each bird 2d. Annual value of the manor thus £47 16s. 8d.
From time out of mind, Roger Danyell’s heirs and all his ancestors have had right of pasturage for 8 oxen and 200 sheep in ‘Grovemerssh’ and elsewhere in the manor, and 20 pigs and a boar at pannage time. By his letters patent shown to the jurors and dated at London, 28 May 1421 , Edmund granted to his beloved servant John Sevyle , who survives, for his good service past and henceforth, 10 marks legal money for life from the issues of the lordship and manor of Wickhambreaux by the hands of the bailiffs, farmers or other occupiers at East and Michaelmas in equal portions. John is still seised. By his letters patent dated at the abbey of Titchfield, 26 August 1417 , of his special grace and for the good service past and henceforth of his beloved servant John Fylzpiers [sic], Edmund granted to John the office of parker and warrener of his park and warren in the lordship of Wickhambreaux with the daily wage of 2d. for life taken yearly from the issues of the lordship by the hands of the bailiffs, farmers or other occupiers at Michaelmas and Easter in equal portions, together with all appertenances and easements as clearly disclosed in the letters patent shown to the jurors.

Harty, 2 parts of a knight’s fee which Richard de Rokerwell ’s heirs held.
He did not hold any more lands or tenements in his demesne as of fee or in service or otherwise of the king in chief or any others, because he was formerly seised in his demesne as of fee of the manors of Swanscombe, Tonge and Erith and long before his death, by the fine and royal letters patent detailed in 477 , Edmund recognized the manors to be the right of the quer. detailed in 477 , which manors they had of his gift, to hold of the king and his heirs by the services owed and accustomed by right. The quer. were seised in their demesne as of fee and the same survivors are still seised.
