Edward Still, 1621-1681

Edward devised all his lands in Kent, Sussex and elsewhere to his daughter, Bridget an infant and, if she died, without issue, to his nephew, Richard Still and others. He owned a good deal of land in Cowden including Pilegate, Wickens, High Buckhurst and Henmans, as well as Waystrode. " All my lands called Berytrow or Godefirth" otherwise called Whitehouse and all the parcell called Citford (Kitford) Mead, now in the occupation of George Crapwell all in Hartfield to Richard Still, son of my kinsman etc." The situation of White House was above and behind Holtye House. Kitford would be the Northern point of the Manor which probably extended south to the Holtye forge and east nearly to Cullinghurst. Bridget married John Culpepper, of Riverhead, but she seems to have died childless and Waystrode and Henmans came to Richard Still who was Lord of the Manor of Stangrove, in Edenbridge which came to the Streatfields on the second marriage of his daughter. Richard Still died in 1726. Edward Still, of Waystrode, was buried on July 28, 1681 but, in his case, "A certificate that no affidavit was brought for Edward Still made and ye forfeiture is paid to ye poor." This is to do with affidavits as to burial in woollen. To protect the sheep farmers of England there was a law which said people must be buried in wool and an affidavit had to be sworn before a minister that this had been done. Under the act one half of the five pounds sterling penalty wentto the informer and one half to the poor.
Edward's will also mentioned a property Chantlers or Chantrils (from Chauntrell) In a deed of 1818 it is described as "bounding to East and North on the King's Highway leading from Cowden to Spood Lane" (see also
Richard Still's will of 1487 and also that of Joan Wekynden in 1524.
In 1657 parish accounts show the churchwardens paid him £1. 7. Od for shingles, 13:0 for a board and 1s. 9d. for "caping tiles".
