WESTRAM, (Kent) 5 m. W. from Sevenoke, 20 cm. 23 mm. from London, stands near the head of the r. Darent, and is noted for giving birth to that learned confessor and martyr John Fryth, and also to that most worthy prelate Dr. Benjamin Hoadley, the present Bp. of Winchester. The late Earl of Jersey built (or rather finished, for it was begun by a private gentleman) a very noble house here, called Squerries, which is now in the possession of a descendant of Sir John Ward, late Ld.-mayor of London. The abbot of Westminster, Ld. of this manor in the R. of Edward I. obtained a Mt. here on M. which the abbot, who was possessed of it in the R. of Edward III. changed to W. and the grant of a Fair Sept. 8. At the Diss. Henry VIII. granted this manor to Sir John Gresham, to whose descendant, Sir Edward, Q. Anne, in 1702, granted another Fair on the 2d Tu. in Oct. and one on April 22 and 23, for live cattle.
