Langley, Kent
Langley is a village and civil parishes in England, civil parish in the Maidstone (borough), Maidstone District of Kent, England. The parish is located on the A274 road leading south from Maidstone to Headcorn . History Langley is a common English place-name, from the Old English ''lang leah'' or ‘long field or woodland’. This village first appears in the records in 814 as Longanleag. The village church is dedicated to St Mary. Behind this church is a lake, which is possible place for the medieval judicial practice of trial by ordeal, trial by cold water. When a jury couldn't decide on a person's innocence, it was left to God to decide. If the accused floated they were guilty because the water rejected them. If they sank, the water accepted them and thus were innocent. As is often thought it is not if they drowned, but the result was drowning in some cases. It had to be close to the church because the water would be holy. Maidstone Museum & Art Gallery exhibits articles exc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Biography Style was the son of John Stile (died 1505), alderman of London, and Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of Sir Guy Wolston of London. but John Style has been confused with at least two other John Styles of the same period. However, John Stile's will 1505, Prerogative Court of Canterbury refers to Langley and Beknam (sic). Hasted's record may also have been quoting Philipot 1659. Humphrey Style was said to be one of the Esquires of the Body to Henry VIII, and Sheriff of Kent in 1543.

Sir Samuel Clarke, 1st Baronet
''Sir'' is a formal honorific address in English for men, derived from Sire in the High Middle Ages. Both are derived from the old French "Sieur" (Lord), brought to England by the French-speaking Normans, and which now exist in French only as part of "Monsieur", with the equivalent "My Lord" in English. Traditionally, as governed by law and custom, Sir is used for men titled as knights, often as members of orders of chivalry, as well as later applied to baronets and other offices. As the female equivalent for knighthood is damehood, the female equivalent term is typically Dame. The wife of a knight or baronet tends to be addressed as Lady, although a few exceptions and interchanges of these uses exist. Additionally, since the late modern period, Sir has been used as a respectful way to address a man of superior social status or military rank. Equivalent terms of address for women are Madam (shortened to Ma'am), in addition to social honorifics such as Mrs, Ms or Miss. Etymo ...
