The manor of Elverton was situated in Stone next Faversham. The family that took their name from it held signifiant property in the immediate area. The manor was held of the Prior and Monks of Canterbury Cathedral. There are a number of other members of this family I have as yet not been able to add to the above pedigree. However, given time I hope to be able to do this. One member of the family adopted the name Blundel - for what reason, I have not yet discovered.
