Notes par EDWARD LAMBERT

First appearance in the Sundridge parish registers of our Lamberts is the baptism of Elizabeth Lambert in 1687/8

Email from Simon 4 Sep 2019 Just back from Kew where at last I have had a chance to look at the will of Edward Lambert of Sundrish in the County of Kent, Yeoman, and it does confirm the Banstead connection. It was made on 4th July 1705, when he appears to have been in good health - probably in the light of the death of his wife, 3 years earlier and his need to provide for his children, all still under-age. He gives £150 each to his daughters, Ann, Elizabeth, Jane, Mary and Susan, to be paid when they reach 21 or at their marriage, plus some extra to the eldest, Ann, with instructions about the division if any of them die prematurely. (Sarah, of course, had died in 1701).

He goes on to mention two properties in Banstead, of which he was “lawfully seized” by copyhold: one a messuage or tenement and about 12 acres of customary land, “now or late in the possession of William Stevens or his assigns” and the other, “commonly called Monks” and about 6 acres of customary land “now or late in the occupation of one Martin Blake” etc. He also mentions freehold land adjoining Monks, also occupied by Martin Blake. By the custom of the Manor (of Banstead?) the copyholds will pass to his younger son, Thomas & his heirs, to whom he also gives the “said acre or piece of freehold land for ever”.

The rest of his goods, chattels, cattle, debts, ready money, plate, household stuff and personal estate go to Edward, whom he appoints as executor, and appoints his “loving friends” Edward Hall of Hartfield, Sussex, yeoman, and Avery Lambert of Hever, Kent, yeoman, as overseers and guardians of Edward until he is 21. The witnesses were Gabriel Smith, John Stanford and Robert Newman.

He added a codicil on 27th September specifying that if Edward dies before he is 21, his inheritance goes to Thomas. He also makes provision for the youngest daughters, Mary and Susan, to receive “meal, drink, washing and lodging” at the expense of Edward (or Thomas, if Edward deceased) until age 18 or their marriage. Witnesses were Samuel Lambert, John Day and Tobias Day. Probate was granted on 28 Nov 1707 with administration to Avery Lambert and Edward Hall.

Inevitable questions arise: who were Avery Lambert and Samuel Lambert (the latter evidently not his son, who had presumably died by the time of his will). How was he related to the Banstead Lamberts? Where was Monks? The mediaeval records of the Manor of Banstead are at the NA, but the ones relevant to us appear to be at the Surrey archives in Woking, with one set at Lambeth.

Possibilities:
Edward Lambert bap 16 Apr 1659 London, son of John Lambert and Grace

There is a baptism on 18 June 1671 for an Edward Lamport at Sundridge, son of Henry and Margaret Lamport, but I think this is too late a date as he would only have been 16/17 years old at the birth of his first child.

Another possible baptism is that of Edward Lampard 10 Mar 1661 at Westerham, a couple of miles from Sundridge, son of Richard Lampard.

The village of Sundridge is situated on the high road leading to Westerham, which crosses the middle of this parish, as does the river Darent, in a double stream, a little to the northward of it; hence the ground rises still further northward for near a mile and a half to the great ridge of chalk hills, where it is little more than a mile in width; midway to the foot of these hills, is the seat of Combebank, the hamlet of Oveney's green, and the seat of Overden, the residence of the dowager Lady Stanhope. Just below the village, southward, is the seat not many years since belonging to Tho. Mompesson, esq. who lies buried in the church yard, under a monument, with his brother Henry, who was murdered by robbers in France; it is now the residence of Edward Peach, esq. who is related to the Mompesons by his mother, wife of the Rev. Mr. Peach, rector of Titsey, in Surrey. Mr. Peach married, in 1790, Mrs. Elizabeth Leathes, widow of the reverend Edward Leathes, rector of Rodeham, in Norfolk. Near the above seat is the church, and close by it the ancient site of Sundridge-place, on which is now only a farm-house; and about a half a mile eastward the manor of Dryhill, formerly the eftate of the Ifleys, and now of Mr. Woodgate of Summerhill. Southward from hence the parish extends three miles to the great ridge of sand hills, about midway to which is Brook's-place, near which there is on each side both coppice woods, and much rough ground, and the land becomes very poor. On the top of the hills is the hamlet, called Ide-hill. These hills separate the upland district from that below it, called the Weald, the part above them being distinguished by the name of Sundridge Upland, as that below it is by the name of Sundridge Weald, in the same manner as the other parishes are in the same situation. Near the foot of these hills, in the Weald, is the estate of Hendon, where the soil becomes a stiff clay and a strong tillage land.
