Roger Northwode

Sir Roger de Northwode (c. 1230 – 9 November 1286) held the posts of Warden of the Cinque Ports and Baron of the Exchequer.

[1] He was a son of Sir Stephen de Northwode, Knight and his wife, Joan.

Some confusion exists over when he received his knighthood, as it is cited that in September 1265, when he served as steward of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he was also "a knight commissioned in Kent to take the lands of the rebels into the king's hands".

He was also Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports after 1255 but before 1258 when he was replaced by Nicholas de Moels.

He made many repairs and donated to the monastery, "wherefore among the servants of God, he is to this day called the restorer of that house."'
