Name: @*William d' Auberville

Note:
"The ancient name (of Westenhanger) as it appears by the register of the monastery of St. Augustine was Le Hangre derived from the Saxon word "angra" meaning a wood. When the estate was later divided, the two parts were called Ostenhanger and
Westenhanger until they became re-united under Sir Edward Poynings in 1509.
Note: The property in the 12th century belonged to the Auberville family who were descended from Willam de Ogburville mentioned in the Doomsday Book, a knight who came over with William the Conqueror".
Note:
Through marriage Westenhanger Castle passed into the de Criol family and Sir John de Criol was allowed in 1343 to crenellate (embattle and make loop-holes) and two years later obtained a licence to found and endow a chantry in the Chapel of St.
John in Westenhanger. [Ref: http://www.westenhangercastle.co.uk/Westenhanger_Castle_Histor.html]
Note:
Note: Also FWIW: Osten & Westen are German for towards the East/West; Hang/Hänge means ridge/slope; Anger means a grass plot, a green, a common. Maybe just a coincidence, but Old Saxon & Old German do have the same roots.
