William NOTTE [15734]

  General Notes:

William was of Imbercourt Thames Ditton.

He apparently had 14 sons and 5 daughters, but was survived by only 4.
Unfortunately the Parish registers have not survived.

In 1560 the manor of Long Ditton was in the possession of Thomas Rede, and he conveyed it in 1566 to William Notte, who proved before the Exchequer Court that there were two manors called Long Ditton, one held, at the time, by David Vincent, the other by himself. The manor that he held had, he said, been owned by Thomas Rede, who held it of the queen as of Dover Castle by rent of 2 is. 8f d., a and had been granted to himself by Rede. He maintained that there was no reason why it should be taken into the hands of the Crown for alienation by fine without licence, as it was not held of the queen in chief.
William Notte died in 1576, leaving an heir, his son Anthony, who died in 1586 holding this manor. He also held a wharf named Jeffereyes Wharf (which had formerly belonged to the hospital of St. Mary without Bishopsgate) and other land in Long Ditton. He left a son Thomas. In 1621-2 Thomas Notte sold the manor to Anne Goulde or Gold, widow. (VCH).
