RICKLING, (Essex) on the N. side of Quendon, near those delightful fields, called Southern-Hills, bel. in the R. of Ja. I.
to Sir Hen. Cutts's cousin Richard. One moiety of the manor was purchased by Mr. Tho. Michell, the other by the ancestor
of John Turner; now of Widdington, the prelent possessor. There are yet remains of the old manor-house, that denote its
grandeur, extent and strength, as part of the moat, the old gate arched with free-stone, its strong walls, &c. and it
seems to have been embattelled. A room here went lately by the name of the K.'s. parlour; where, it is presumed, some
Prince had been entertained. Here were some lands, that bel. to the priory of Berden, which Henry VIII. granted to Henry
Parker, and his heirs.
