Notes about William Scott

William Scotte, of Scot's Hall, son of John Scot of Bradbourne and the Heiress of Cumbe in Bradbourne. He married 1) Joan de Orlasone 2) Isabel Herbert.

Obscurity in the history of the family of Scott of Scot's Hall ceases with the settlement by Peter de Coumbe in 1402 of the manor of Combe or Coumbe in Brabourne on William Scott (d. 1434), who was escheator for Kent in 1425, sheriff in 1428, and M. P. in 1430. Before 1409 he married his first wife, Joan, daughter of Sir John de Orlestone (d. 1397), and by purchase or inheritance he acquired the manor and church of Orlestone ,which had belonged to her family. He presented to the church in 1426,1430, and 1433. He is believed to have built on the manor of Hall the mansion-house afterwards known as Scot's Hall. To him also was probably due the reconstruction in the Perpendicular style of the chapel of theHoly Trinity to the south of the chancel in Brabourne church, at the entrance of which he directed that he should be buried. (cf. WEEVER). He died on 5 feb. 1433/4. His second wife was Isabella, youngest daughter of Vincent Herbert, alias Finch, of Netherfield, Sussex (ancestor of the earls of Winchilsea); she survived him, and remarried Sir Gervase Clifton, treasurer of the household to Henry VI, who resided at Brabourne. By his second wife William Scott had, with other issue, an heir, John, and William (d. 1491). The latter was lord of the manor of Woolstan, and founder of the family of Scott of Chigwell, Essex.

Note: Adrian Channing states that William held "Bradborne court lodge,Kent" in right of his wife, which may be, but I have William's family holding property at Brabourne (which might be the same as "Bradborne") for many generations.
