RADWELL, (Hertfordshire) near Baldock, and 3 m. S. of Caldecote, bel. heretofore to the abbey of St. Albans, and the priory of Pree; but Henry VIII. granted it to Ralph Rowlet, father of Sir Ralph; whose sisters, his coheirs, sold it to John Parker, the son of Sir Henry. It came in the R. of Eliz. to William, afterwards Sir Will. Plomer; whose son sold it to Sir Rob. Berkley, who lived to be one of the justices of the K's-bench, and sold it, about 1650, to Tho. Cole, a woollen-draper, of London; who sold it in 1678 to Rich. Bell of Bedford, as his son did, about 26 years ago, to Will. Pym, Esq;. This village stands on a stream, that claims the name of Ivel; and had a mill, that was once the property of the Kts.-templars.
