Kent landed family centred on Roydon Hall, East Peckham. The family held the Albons or Albans alias Wymplingbury manor as part of its Roydon Hall estate after the 1589 purchase from Henry Fane.
Notes / Sources
The family record is used here because archival catalogues and the 1706 lease expressly connect the family and the manor; individual intermediate successions are intentionally not reconstructed by inference.
