On p. 76 of Villare Cantianum, Philipot says, "Little Betshanger was a seat relating to the family of Cliderow ... Roger de Cliderow flourished here in the reign of Edw. II and Edw. III. and as appears by seals affixed to old evidences, which commence from the last king's reign, bore for his coat armour upon a chevron between three eagles five annulets; his successor Richard Clliderow, was Sheriff of Kent the fourth, and most part of the fifth year of Hen. IV. He was constituted soon after admiral of the seas, from the Thames mouth to the Saxon Shore to the West; for in those times the admiralty was divided sometimes into three, and most commonly into two divisions, one beginning at the Thames mouth was admiral of the Northern Seas, the second was admiral from the Thames mouth westward, and the third had the command of the Irish seas; buth in this man's time king Hen IV. in the eithth year of his reign, reduced it under one person, and granted it with more ample and wide authority, under his brother John Beauford, earl of Somerset. But to proceed; after the title of this place had remained locked up in the demean of Cliderow, until the latter end of Hen VIII. it passed away with the female inheritrix to Thomas Stoughton, Esquire, by whom he had three daughters, who were co-heirs to their mother; Elizabeth married to Thomas Wilde, Esquire, Helen married to Edward Nethersole, and mary married to Henry Paramour, who by a joint conveyance passed away their right to their father in the twentieth year of queen Eliz. and he in the twenty first year, by deed reinstates his right in them, and they again by mutual consent, alienated their interest here in the twenty eighth year of her rule, to Mr. John Gookin."
