Sir William Scott of Scot's Hall in Smeeth, Kent (1459 – 24 August 1524)[1] was Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.

[1] He served as High Sheriff of Kent in 1491, 1501 and 1510, and was also to become Constable of Dover Castle, Marshal of Calais (1490-1) and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports (1492–1493).

[1] He remained in favour under Henry VIII, being present at the famous meeting at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520 and one of the deputation sent to greet Emperor Charles V when he landed at Dover in 1522.

Scott inherited the manor of Brabourne[1] in 1495, and had Scot's Hall elaborately rebuilt so that it came to be regarded as one of the foremost houses in Kent.

[citation needed] He was buried at Brabourne, where there is a memorial brass to him in the Scott chapel in St Mary's church.
