Harkstead, or Herchesteda
In the Domesday Book, Odo de Campania, Earl of Albermarle and Holderness,
was lord of this manor; which was afterwards granted to the Nunnery of Dartford,
in Kent, by King Edward III.; and at the dissolution of that Monastery, 31st
Henry VIII., it was granted to Sir Percival Hart. It afterwards belonged to a
family named Cocks, who, with the advowson and the manor house, sold it to Knox
Ward, Clarencieux King at Arms; whose heir sold it, the manor, and lands, to
Thomas Staunton, Esq., many years M.P. for Ipswich; and the advowson to the Rev.
Richard Canning, who edited the 2nd edition of the "Suffolk Traveller," printed
in 1764. The property now belongs to the Venerable the Archdeacon Berners, of
Woolverstone Park; and his second son, the Rev. Ralph Berners, is now rector of
this parish, and of Erwarton. Topographical and Genealogical, The County of Suffolk, 1844, Augustine Page |
