In Bedfordshire there is a village named Kempston, which, like Campton in
the same county, is supposed to be derived from the Saxon "Kemp," meaning
"battle." Taylor's _Words and Places_, p. 206.

{175} One of these Marshalls began life as the owner of property,
hunting in "pink," &c., but ended his days as the clerk of a neighbouring
parish. Another had a public-house and farm in another near parish; his
descendant is a beneficed clergyman in the diocese of Exeter.

{176a} There were six bells in the original church. These were sold by
the said churchwarden, who would appear to have been a zealous
iconoclast. According to one tradition they went to Billinghay, but as
the church there has only three bells, this is probably an error.
Another version is that they were transferred to Tetford church; had the
removal occurred in the time of the Thimblebys, this might not have been
improbable, as they were patrons of that benefice; but several other
churches claim this distinction, and, further, there are only three bells
in that church, so that this again is doubtless a mistake.

{176b} Gervase Holles gives the following as the inscription existing in
his time (circa 1640), "Hic jacet Gulielmus Brackenburg et Emmotta ejus
uxor, qui quidem Gulielmus obiit 6 die Januarii, An'o D'ni 1476, quorum
a'iabus p'pitietur Deus. Amen." There are, he adds, "figures of
themselves upon the stone, and ten children, all in brasse." Harleian
MS., Brit. Mus., No. 6,829, p. 177.

{177} In _Magna Britannia_ it is stated that he held 15 manors in this
county. In connection with the Paganell family it may here be noted that
a daughter, Maud, of Gilbert de Gaunt, married a Norman, Ralph Fitzooth;
their son William Fitzooth married the daughter of Beauchamp Paganell;
from whom sprung Robert Fitz Ooth, commonly known as Robin Hood.
