      DINGLEY, alias BORELAND, is a small manor, situated in the borough of Boreland, in this parish, the house of it lying about three-quarters of a mile northeast from the church, which in the reign of King Henry VIII. was in the possession of Sir Matthew Brown, whose son Sir Anthony appears by the King's receiver's roll, in the Augmentation-office, to have been possessed of it in the 30th year of that reign. After this name was extinct here it came into the possession of Austen, one of which name, Matthew Austen, died possessed of it about the year 1640; it afterwards descended down to Thomas Austen, who in 1681 alienated it to Sir John Fagg, bart. who at his death devised it to his second son Charles Fagg, esq. whose great-grandson, the Rev. Sir John Fagg, bart. of Chartham, is the present
      possessor of it.
