RAMSDON-BELHOUSE, (Essex) 2 m. from Billericay, had its sirname from the Belhus family here in the R. of K. John; from
whom it came by marriage, in the R. of Henry V. to Robert, son of Sir John Knivet, Ld.-chancellor. In the last century it
was the estate of Sir Jacob Garrard of Langford in Norfolk, Bt. and upon his decease it came to Sir Nich. Garrard. Q.
Eliz. granted the manor of Barrington-Hall in Ramsden, and the park, to Walter Visc. Hereford. Edmund Tyrrel held the
manor of the said Q. of her manor of East-Greenwich in fee-soccage. It was held afterwards by Sir Fr. Fitch, who sold it
to Sir Edm. Wright, ald. of London; of whom it was purchased by Sir Tho. Cheek in 1640, and descended to Tho. Archer, Esq;
in right of his wife.
