Charles Goodwin (of Rowfant)

In 1716 he served as High Sheriff of Sussex, the most senior official in the county.

[3] His memorial in Worth church reads: In addition to his prime estate of Rowfant, he also inherited from his brother lands in Somerset at Wanstrow and Muchelney, in the latter parish the so-called manors of Neales, Barramores and Knowles.

[5] After obtaining a licence on 11 December 1691,[6] on 17 December 1691 in the church of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields in Westminster, he married Mary (1660–1724), daughter of Sir Henry Mildmay of Graces, MP for Essex and his second wife Mary.

Anna never married but in 1771 Catherine married her first cousin, the Reverend George Bethune (1746–1803), rector of Worth, and their eldest son, the Reverend George Maximilian Bethune (1772–1840), inherited the estates.

Rowfant remained in the family until 1849, when it was sold to Sir Curtis Miranda Lampson, 1st Baronet.
