Description
The Darell family originally came to England with William the Conquerer and was granted lands in Yorkshire. In the early 1400s John Darell moved to Kent as servant to the Archbishop of Canterbury. He married the archbishop's niece and was granted a large estate. In 1410 he bought the manor of Calehill which remained in the family for 500 years.
