From K. in Norfolk, the estate of Geoffry Baynard or De Beaumont, t. William I. (See Beaumont.) He granted his tithes at Kerdeston to Castle-Acre Priory (Mon. i. 646). Roger de Kerdeston (son of Geoffry), and William, his son, frequently occur in the records.

Margaret, sister and heir of Gilbert de Gand, Baron of Folkingham, and 1281 had a writ of military summons (Parliamentary Writs).
