Rh a castle, called Colbridge Castle, after the person who erected it, temp. K. Edward III. (Kilburne.) 39. .—In (A.D. 1291) called "Lyvingsburne;" in (Val. Eccl.) "Bekesborne, alias Lyvvyngesborne." The last appellation, no doubt (as remarked by Hasted), was derived from Levine, mentioned in (D. B.) as the Saxon proprietor under King Edward: "Leuine tenuit de rege Edwardo." The Saxon Chronicle (Gibson's, 172) notices the death of Leofwine, brother of Harold, at the battle of Hastings, which is also represented in the Bayeux tapestry, where the name is spelled "Lewine."

Thos. Goldstone, prior of Christ Church, about A.D. 1500, built a chapel at the manor house of this parish, which was consecrated by John Thornton, suffragan bishop of Dover, A.D. 1508. (Harris.) This was the second Thos. Goldstone, prior from 1495 to 1517. (See Willis's History of Canterbury Cathedral, 125.) This parish is a member of the Cinque Ports, (Kilburne.)

40. .—(A.D. 1291), "Ecclia de Bissopesburne cum capella." In (Val. Eccl.) Berham (Barham) is stated to be "thereunto annexed," and the benefices so continue at the present day. Barham therefore must be the chapel of (A.D. 1291), not being otherwise mentioned in that valuation.

41. .—(D. B.) states, that the Bishop of Bayeux had a moiety of this manor in his park, having exchanged for it his own estate of Warwintone with the abbot of St. Augustin's, to whom Little Bourne belonged; we thus learn the locality of bishop Odo's park.

There was a chapel at the mansion of Garwinton (the "Warwintone" of D. B.) in this parish. (Hasted.) See also the Notes on Hardres and Ickham.

42. .—Named in (Val. Eccl.) together with the chapel of Shaldon (Sholdon). It has a cross church, with, apparently from Hasted's description, Norm. portions.

43. .—In (Val. Eccl.) "Ecclia de Patryksborne cum capella de Bregge" (Bridge), which connection still subsists. The church of Patricksbourne is partly, at least, Norm., having a door with carving, "much like that at Barfreston" ("like the west door of Rochester Cathedral," Harris); another with figures over it, and other circular arches and windows. (Hasted.) In the 7th year of K. Edward I this church had been appropriated to Merton Priory, in Surrey. A
