NORBORN, (Kent) 2 m. 1 half S. of Sandwich, was above 1100 years ago given to St. Austin's-Abbey in Canterbury, by Eadbald K. of Kent. After the Diss. Q. Eliz. granted a lease of it for life to her foster-brother, Saunders; after whose death K. Ja. I. granted it to Sir Edw. Sandys, who left it to his son, colonel Sandys; but in 1630 it was purchased by Mr. Bois of Becteshanger.
