Visitation 1668

Visitation of Kent

Index of Surnames


In the 16th and 17th centuries the Heralds toured the counties and required those families who possessed coats of arms to prove their right to them. The claimant's pedigrees have been printed but are not necessarily correct. Usually 3 or 4 generations are shown back from the person supplying the information.
In Kent there were visitations in 1530-1, 1574, 1594, 1619-21, 1663-8.
