Note:
JOHN DE NORTHWODE, son and heir, was aged 31 at his father's death. In 1278 he was in the household of Robert Kilwardby, Archbishop of Canterbury; he did homage, and had a writ for livery of his inheritance, 10 December 1285. In 1290 he was
chamberlain of Milton; sheriff of Kent, 1291-93, 1299-1300, 1304--06; and in 1291 and 1292 commissioner of oyer and terminer, and justice in Kent. He was summoned, 8 June 1294, with about 60 others, to advise the King upon urgent affairs of the
realm; and on 14 June was excepted from service in the King's expedition to Gascony. He was summoned for military service abroad in 1297; and in 1298 and subsequent years in Scotland. He was present at the siege of Carlaverock in 1300, where he
was knighted by Edward I. In 1305 he served as assessor of the fifteenth in the Cinque Ports, was a keeper of the peace in Kent, 1307, and a justice for gaol delivery, 1308, in which year he and his wife were summoned to the Coronation of
Edward II. He was summoned to Parliament from 8 January 1312/3 to 20 March 1318/9, by writs directed Johanni de Northwode, whereby he is held to have become LORD NORTHWODE. In June 1317, with his son John and 6 other Kentish notables, he
proceeded to Dover to meet the cardinals sent to England at the King's request to negotiate peace between England and Scotland, and to escort them to London.

Note:
(h) Called in NGR. lady of the manors of Horton near Canterbury and Bewsfield (otherwise Whitfield) near Dover. These appear in her Inq.p.m. Hasted says she was daughter of Guncelin (Joscelin) de Badlesmere, who gave these manors with her in
free marriage to John de Northwode. No deed of such gift has been found, but John was said to hold 10 marks rents in Harrietsham of the gift of Guncelin. Her age would make it likely that Joan was sister, not daughter, of Guncelin.
