At the same time as its growth in Somerset, a branch of the Fag/Vag family began to develop in the South East corner of Kent. Just as in Somerset the written history of this family really begins in the early 14th century, with numerous references to the family cropping up in the Romney Marsh, Walland Marsh and Isle of Oxney areas (about 30 square miles). By the end of the medieval period the families had largely settled on the spelling Fagge.

Whether the Somerset and Kent branches are connected in any way is still up for debate, however some indication of a link is hinted at. One such hint is that close to this area is the village of Etchingham, the ancient seat of the Etchingham family. Through the marriage of William Echingham to Margery de Montacute, William became brother-in-law to Ralph De La Haye, Tenant in Chief of Chilthorne Vagg. Also, and perhaps more significantly, the name Fagg appears in West Firle in the 13th century, this is also the locaion of the manor of Hecton (now Heighton), one of those manors that were the inheritance of Emma, wife of Alvred the Butler, daughter of Ralph of Dene.

1649 - Sir John Fagge a Parliamentarian soldier purchases Wiston House, Sussex.

Sir Thomas Sherley, born c.1542, built Wiston House. There was a stone and timber manor house at Wiston recorded in 1357, but Sir Thomas, knighted by Queen Elizabeth at Rye in 1573, felt the need to improve or entirely rebuild it. The work was begun soon after his knighthood and conceived on a grand scale; same interiors were complete by 1576. The house was much larger than at present: the south wing stretched further westwards, occupying the space where the conservatory now stands. A three-storeyed wing ran parallel to the present west terrace, while the east court yard (outside the present main door) was enclosed by a range of buildings, including a gatehouse, which have also completely disappeared. The House was built around this paved court, and behind the mullioned windows and crow-stepped gables lay same magnificent rooms - the splendid great hall with its double hammer-beam roof, a great chamber, a panelled parlour, a chapel and 90 foot long gallery, to name but a few.

During the Civil War, Wiston House was occupied first by Royalists and then in 1643-44 by Parliamentarian soldiers, the Estate was seized by Parliament and sold very cheaply in 1649 to Sir John Fagge, a parliamentarian soldier from East Sussex. Robert Fagge, his grandson, died in 1740, leaving a sister, Elizabeth, to inherit the Estate. She married Sir Charles Goring of Highden House, Washington in 1743.

Saint Mary of Charity is the Parish Church of Faversham. (See photograph at the right.) This church is most impressive on account of its surprising size and unusual aisled transepts. Although restored in the late 18th century, it retains many Norman features. The distinctive crown spire dates from 1797 and the elegant nave from a slightly earlier period. Particularly interesting features are the grotesque misericords beneath the choir stalls, the brightly emblazoned tomb of Edward Fagg, and the 14th Century frescoed octagonal pillar. http://norfleet01.tripod.com/norfleets_of_17th_century_england.htm
