An estate in Mackney known later as SHERWOODS was granted by copy of Court Roll in 1605 by Henry Moleyns to John Wing and in 1644 by William Winchcombe to Thomas Wing, son of John, who in 1669 bequeathed it to his two daughters Mary and Elizabeth. The former of these married Philip Mayne, and their son Philip in 1707 conveyed his share to the latter, who was wife of Ralph Sherwood. Ralph by his will in 1711 devised the whole to his son Edward Sherwood, who in 1744 bequeathed it to his daughters Elizabeth and Sarah. They sold it in 1755 to William Fludger of Wallingford, who in 1770 bequeathed it to his son James, and eventually it passed to his grandson Henry Fludger, whose coheirs were his sisters, Frances Jane the wife of Charles Lutyens and Elizabeth the wife of Joseph Hopkins. The former lady and her nephew Fludger Hopkins were admitted to the estate in 1835, the former alone in 1849, and her son Charles Henry Augustus Lutyens in 1851. He sold the estate in 1877 to Mr. Robert Wellington Cozens, who died in 1889 and his widow in 1899, from whose executors it was purchased by their third son Mr. William Robert Cozens, the present owner.
