Reginald De Cobham, 1St Baron CobhamReginald de Cobham (c. 1203 - 1258) the third son of Henry de Cobham, of Cobham in Kent, was appointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and Constable of Dover Castle in 1255. He was already Justice Itinerant in Essex in 1248, Justice Itinerant in Wiltshire in 1249, Justice Itinerant in Middlesex in 1249, and Sheriff of Kent from 1249 to 1258, the year he died. Reginald Cobham and his decendants, ancestors of the Barons Cobham, are buried in Lingfield Church, in the village of Lingfield Surrey. The common ancestor of the Surrey and Kent branches of this great family was John de Cobham, Justice Itinerant, of Cobham and Cowling, (Cooling, on the Hoo peninsula), Sheriff of Kent and one of two brothers during the reign of King Henry III of England. Family Reginald de Cobham, the 1st Baron Cobham KG (title also claimed by Henry Cobham), was born about 1295 the son of sir Reginald de Cobham by Joan, the daughter and heir of William de Evere. This Reginald was the second son of John de Cobham, by his first wife Joan the daughter of William Fitzbenedict. Reginald 1st Baron Cobham married Joan Berkeley, by whom he could claim to be related to the great and noble families of Sutton: Dudley, Beauchamp, De Despencer and Mortimer. The Cobham family, however, were well conected to the ruling families of England in their own right.
