Sir Stephen de Northwode

The Norwood family built two manor houses, the manor on the Isle of Sheppey was known as "Norwood Manor" within Sheppey.  Stephen de Northwode built a manor in the Parish of Milton.  It was known as "Norwood without Sheppey" and also known as "Norwood Chasteners."

Stephen, son of Jordan de Sheppey, who lived in the reigns of Richard I and King John, obtained a grant from the crown and built a mansion here, which he moated round and encompassed with a park, well wooded and stored with abundance of deer and wild boars.  Hence he assumed the name of Northwode, which was borne by all his descendants.  Stephen, the son of Jordan de Sheppey and Cicely,
