I knew that several years ago I had looked at John Brenchley Lord of
Benenden, but it was only while going through some old printouts today
that I found this.

It is an excerpt from an American book that was published in 1934. It
includes the detail of where John Brenchley was laid to rest.

Page 218/219 reads as follows:-

JOHN DE MORE, of More-Place, the eldest son (in some deeds written
Atte-More), died about 7 King Edward II. He married Matilda, daughter
of William Falkinden, by whom he had two sons:

1. THOMAS.
2. SCOLAND, who had lands confirmed to him by his uncle Charles.

THOMAS, who succeeded, by Joan his wife (who survived him and
purchased lands 10 Edward III), had

JOHN, his heir, who lived in the time of Edward III and died seized of
his paternal inheritance, leaving two sons:

1. THOMAS.
2. JOHN.

THOMAS DE MORE, the elder son, marrying Catharine, the coheiress of
the family of Benenden, of Benenden (whereof John de Benenden held a
Knight's fee there 20 Edward III and bore for his coat armour, Azure,
a lobster, Or, which is now quartered by the Marquis of Drogheda): his
family, on that match, transplanted themselves to Benenden, where they
built a house called Moore-Place, and possessed a fair estate until
John Moore, Esq., sold it to Mr. William Watts, in the first year of
Queen Mary's reign. By her, who outlived him, he had two sons:

1. WILLIAM.
2. JOHN.

WILLIAM, the elder, married Catherine, daughter and heir to Anthony
Aucher, Esq., and had issue:

2. THOMAS, his heir.
2. JOHN.

THOMAS, married Agnes, daughter and heir of Robert Austen and was
father of William Moore, of Moore-Place, Esq., who married Margaret,
daughter and co-heir of John Brenchley, Esq., Lord of the manor of
Benenden, by his wife, Margaret, daughter and heir to Richard Golding,
21 Henry VI, and with her he got the inheritance of Moat-Landa and
Bettenham, in Kent. He lies buried in the church of Benenden, in Kent,
with his father-in-law; as appears by this inscription in the chancel
window on the north side: "Orate pro animabus Johannis Brenchley et
Willielmi More."

WALTER MOORE, of Benenden, Esq., was his son, and recovered certain
lands in Smallhide and Tenterden, which had been entailed upon the
issue of his grandfather, Thomas, by Agnes Austen his wife, niece to
Robert Jane, in case her said uncle should die childless, and proved
that, contrary to his entail, the said Robert had given those lands to
his bastard son, which of right belonged to him, who was the son of
William, son and heir to Thomas More and Agnes Austen, cousin and heir
to the said Robert Jane. This Walter's will is recorded in the office
of wills at Canterbury, and shows that he died in 1504, 19 Henry VII,
leaving by Alice his wife (who brought into the family lands in the
parishes of Brokeland, Fayerfield, Brensett, and Snave, in Kent), two
sons:

1. THOMAS, of Benenden, his heir.
2. WILLIAM, who m. Elizabeth, one of the three daus. and co-heir of
William Betenham, Esq., by whom he had the ancient seat of Betenham,
in the parish of Cranebrooke, where he resided, and was father of
Nicholas Moore, of Wingmore, in Elham, who m. Clare, dau. of John
Toke, of Goddington and Great-Chart, in Kent, by Cicely, dau. of Sir
Thomas Kempe, Knt., and dying in 1556, at Wingmore (4 Queen Mary),
(there is a memorial for him in Elham church, by which, according to
Hasted, it appears that he d. at Wingmore, May 8, 1577, ae.
fifty-nine--Hasted, III, 343), without issue, gave all his lands by
will to the sons of his cousin, John Moore, of Pluckley.
