BOCTON-MALHERB, (Kent) so called from its ancient owners, the family of Malherb, is a little to the S. W. of Lenham. It passed from the Malherbs to the Gattons; from whom it went, by a daughter, to William de Dene, who sold it to Robert Corby. By his grand-daughter it came to Sir Nicholas Wotton; and was the seat of Sir Edward, whom K. James I. created Baron Wotton, and of Thomas, who was Ld. Wotton in the R. of Cha. I. and since that, of the E. of Chesterfield.
