War, but is probably noted for his inept handling of the aspiration: he had been a
Royalist but then became a Roundhead, before switching back to being a Royalist under
Charles I. He was executed in London after being reported as 'too dangerous to live'.
His body lies in the Vane family vault area of the crypt of Shipbourne church in an
anthropoid (body shaped) lead shell coffin with many members of the Vane family. His
ghost is said to wander the village. The Vane family were followed by the Cazalets. In
1880, Edward Cazalet built the church, dedicated to St Giles, plus a public house, named
the Chaser, and several of the cottages which surround The Common. Major Peter
Cazalet was the trainer of horses owned by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Many
members of the Cazalet family are commemorated in the church. The son of one
employee of the Vane family estate wrote a 700 verse blank poem about hop-growing.
The poet Christopher Smart was born in 1722 at Fairlawne, where his father was
