Isabel de Chesney , Heiress of Addington

The holder of Addington, held by "pantry service", had to provide a dish called "dillegrout" at the King's coronation. The dish was provided at King Richard II's coronation by William Bardolf (descendant of this line). After Richard II, this "mess" was provided from Charles II onwards by the Leigh family. It was presented by the lord of the manor of Addington at the coronation of George III, and even at the last banquet, that of George IV. The Archbishops of Canterbury currently claim the right, since they held Addington from 1807 to 1897.
