^{page ix note 2} Dr. G. H. Fowler in vol. xi (1927) of the Bedfordshire Historical Record Society, showed that the charters published in Halstead, Succinct genealogies (1685), were falsifications of early Mordaunt charters at Drayton by Henry Mordaunt, 2nd earl of Peterborough, who, with the Rev. Richard Rands, rector of Turvey (1669–99), wrote the volume. But the genuine charters at Drayton show the Mordaunt family settled near Turvey or in it before 1147.

I am indebted to Colonel Stopford-Sackville for letting me see his privately published (1937) book, A short historical account of the ownership, architecture and contents of Drayton House, and to Miss Joan Wake for the loan of the book. Drayton remained in the Mordaunt family till 17 Nov. 1705, when it passed by the bequest of Lady Mary Germaine, daughter and heiress of Henry Mordaunt, 2nd earl of Peterborough, to her 2nd husband Sir John Germaine. He bequeathed it to his 2nd wife Lady Elizabeth Berkeley and she left it, at her death in Dec. 1769, to her nephew Lord George Sackville, from whom it descended to its present owner, Colonel Stopford-Sackville.
