LEEDS, (Kent) on the Len, near Maidston, had formerly a castle and an abbey or priory, where are now the seats of Lds.
Colepeper and Fairfax, and Sir Roger Meredith, Bt. K. Edward II. besieged and took it, when it was treacherously fortified
against him by Bartholomew Ld. Badlesmere, to whom he had given it.
