http://www.cobbweb.org.uk/hcindex.html in July, 2002, in a reprint of "The Cobbs of Kent": "There are many references to John Combe, the advocante, in the records of the Corporation of New Romney. He was a young man at the time when Joan d'Arc was burnt in 1431, and judging by his own unhealthy fear of purgatory, which he exposes in his will, he would have found no alternative to death by burning for the good of her soul and for his own conscience.
Having been born outside the liberties of the Port he became an 'advocante', taking a vow to uphold the liberties of the Port but not being resident within the boundaries, and John Forcett, the Common Clark, described him in 1457 as follows:
"John Cobbe is now the first on the list of advocantes (persons claiming to be free, but residing without the precincts)."
. . . and again in 1466:
"To wine given to Caxtone of Lyde bringing a message from John Cobbes. Expenses of John Cobbes and five others viewing the harbour here 2/8d. This John Cobbes or Cobb was the most influential of the 'advocantes'."
It seems from the "Custumal" of New Romney, written by Forsett in 1564, that the admittance to the status of freeman or baron was hereditary, if the privileges were gained under the original charters to the Cinque Ports. John, having taken the vow, enjoyed these privilages. The Records of the Corporation of the activities of John Cobbe extend back to 1456 and the following may be of interest:
1456 - 5d paid for the expenses of juriats on interview
with John Cobbe as to certain dam ordered to be
made at Stonebridge by the Juriats of the Marsh,
to the neusance of the Towne.
1457 - Paid Thomas Hextel and John Cobbe, for having
their friendship for delivery of' a prisoner 13d.
1466 - Paid a man bringing news about French shirps at
sea. Paid. John Cobbe and certain other persons
of the Marsh for levelling and taking the wrater
of the said Marsh by the Fowelanesse 12/2d.
Paid to William Selver of Appledore for the labour
upon the tree at Bilington given by John Cobbe for
the work on the gutte. (jetty).
It appears that John Cobbe was granted a licence by Henry VI in 1442 to practise as an alchemist; but it is uncertain if this is the same John Cobbe referred to here.
John the 'advocante' married Denyse (Dionisa) daughter and heir of Bonnington and widow of Roger Brigland and by his marriage he brought the Bonnington lands to the Cobbes. Hasted, in his "Histort of Kent refers to the Briglands in Vol 3, page 462, as follows:
"Roger Brgland or Bresland:-
The Manor of Bonnington, alias Singleton, originally belonged to the Hospital of
St. John of Jerusalem and later became the property of Roger Bregland or Brasland as
the name is sometimes spelt, who had good estates in East Kent. "They bore the arms
sable 3, Cocks argent, which coat is probably the Cobbes, who were descended from
the female line of this family and in some measure, took the arms they bore from
viz. argent, a chevron between three cocks gules." Roger Bregland had married
Dionisia, daughter and heir of Bonnington, of this parish, by whom she had one son,
Roger. She survived him and afterwards married John Cobbes of Nevmburcb and entitled
him to the lands of her inheritance in the parish, of which the Manor does not seem
to have been a part, but to have been purchased by him before - most probably of her
former husband. He died possessed of it in the 13th year of King Edward IV, 1472
and. by his will, divided it to Edward, his second son, remainder to his eldest son
William successively in tail male, the former who dying without issue, the latter
succeeding to it and left three sons, Gervase, Edward and George, the eldest of whom
was of Newchurch, and on his fathers death became possessed of it, and dying without
issue in 1512 gave all his estates to his two brothers of whom Edward, the eldest,
held the manor, of which he died seized in 11 Henry VIIIth, then holding it in
'capite' which Anne or Alice, for she is called by both names, only daughter and
heir of his son Edward. Alice married, first Sir Thomas Norton and afterwards John
Cobham, alias Brooke, third son of George, Lord Cobhmn, died 1580 buried at
Newington Church, with Alice who is also buried there where there is a brass
memorial to her. The estate was carried in marriage to Sir John Norton of Northwood
Kent, by whom he had a son Thomas, whose grandson Sir Thomas Norton of Northwood
Kent, in the beginning of King James I reign, alienated; and to White whose son
seems to have sold it to Valentine Knight of Sellinge."
At the time of John's death in 1472, he held considerable property and land on the Marshes and owned not only Cobbes Place in Newchurch, but the Manor and lands at Bonnington, the Manor of Camerston, the Manor of Organers and Goddy Hall, which according to the records of All Souls, Oxford, lies between Millebergh and Bensqukescroche, and a house called Breggis in Wheystreet. His will, which was written a month before his death, was proved on 17th November, 1472.
He was survived by Dionisia, his wife and three sons, William, Edward and Thomas, and a daughter, Crystin. The first part of his will is written in Latin and the second in English and he was clearly a well-educated man with ability and an astute man of business. In his long will he makes generous provision for the safety of his soul by making bequests for priests to sing for him in the chapel of St. Michael, at Newchurch for seven years, and it seems he was ready to pay a good price for his passport to heaven. However, he shows a kindly disposition when he makes conditional provision for "needy poor people, to foul ways and to marriages of poor maidens". Finally he provides that "24 of the worshipfullest, trustiest and most wisest men of Newchurch and of the County ajoining should set up and operate a trust to provide for the poor and to repair the church, and says, "and if it be that this will do not stand according to law" then the money be spent for a priest to sing for his soul for 30 years. He also makes provisional bequests to the Hospice of Maison Dei, at Dover, which, as previously stated, was founded by Hubert de Burgh and was used as a resting place for continental pilgrims visiting the tomb of Thomas a Becket. The Hospice is still in a good state of repair, having survived both Nazi shells and tourists.
His son, William of Newchurch was born in 1442 and lived at Cobbes Place. He was thirty years old on the death of his father. In 1480 (three years before the murder of the young princes in the Tower of London) at the age of 38, he was appointed Bailiff of New Romney. The Bailiff, in the right of the Archbishop of Canterbury, was the official head of the town of New Romney, and mandates, such as the summons for the Course of Shipway, were therefore, addressed to him. He had, in the Archbishop's right, the sole authority in the exercise of criminal jurisdiction in the St. Martin's Hundreds where royal functions were enjoyed by the Archbishop by special privilege.
William married Alice Cutts of Harrelsham and Barban, from whom he acquired property. His name is given in a list of gentlemen residing in Kent during the reign of Henry VII.(2).
His will, which is given in the appendix, was made on 2nd March, 1500 (3) and he died six years later at the age of 64 years. William, the Bailiff, left a widow and three sons, Gervase, Edward and George. The eldest, Gervase inherited Cobbes Place at Nevrchurch but died without issue in 1512 and gave his estates to his two brothers. Edward held the Manor until his death in 1520 (4). His younger brother George was Comman Clerk of New Romney and it is recorded in the Historical Manuscripts of Corporation of New Romney that he received payment, as such, of 12/6d. a quarter.
As Common Clerk he would be required to write in Latin and Norman French and have a knowledge of the laws, and the appointment might be worth £1,000 a year, to-day. It is probable, however, that the post carried with it perquisites and the salary may not reflect the present value of money.
George died at Ivychurch in 1515 and his will is now at Maidstone. On Edward's death his son encl heir, also called Edward, lived at Cobbe's Place until 1579 when the property passed to his only daughter Alice who was born in about 1524.
She married, first Sir John Norton and after his death, Lord John Cobham. Her marriage to Norton is recorded in these words: "Joh'es Norton de Northwood Miles = Alicie Veica filia Ed. Cob. de Cobs Place." It will be noted that the name is sometimes spelt Cobbes, Cobb or even Cob."
