Joan’s name first appears in the Charlwood Court Rolls dated 1548 when she was fined 2d ~ (1 p) for not attending this court. She was also fined the same amount for the same reason in 1552. No reasons are given for non attendance, but it could have been because she was not living at “Bolters” on those dates as she and her husband also owned a property in London. It has been suggested that the couple used “Bolters” as a country retreat to avoid the unrest in London around that time. Monson, Sir William.

The reason for this change can only be surmised. For example: Long before this period the De Warenne family who owned Reigate was granted a warrant that gave them a monopoly to issue ale house licenses. Their family crest consisted of a chequered type shield.
