Four hides of land in Milton Bryant were held of the Bishop of Bayeux by Ansgot of Rochester at the time of the Domesday Survey, having been held formerly by seven sokemen. The bishop's lands shortly afterwards escheated to the Crown, and many of his fees were then held of the royal barony of Rochester. In the Testa de Nevill the overlordship of this estate is assigned to William de Aubervill, as part of his honour of Aubervill. This is evidently a clerical error, for though William did hold the overlordship at this date it was as governor of Rochester Castle, and at the close of the 13th century it was still parcel of the barony of Rochester.
