Was born at Ashford in 1543. He was made Portcullis, and afterwards Somerset Herald. He assisted Camden in his pedigrees for his Britannia; Powell in his history of Wales; and made a collection of funeral inscriptions upon the monuments in Kent. He died in 1588. His son Robert, also a Kentish man, followed in his father's steps and succeeded him as Somerset Herald.
