Sir Roger de Kerdiston

Roger de Kerdiston was born in 1273 at Kerdiston, Norfolk, the son of William de Kerdiston, born Reepham, Norfolk, and Margaret, nee de Gaunt, born Folkingham, Lincolnshire

Roger was the husband of Maud, born in 1283 at Norwich, Norfolk, the daughter of William, Bailiff of Norwich, and Margery Bateman, and sister of Sir Bartholemew, who likely died in the Black Death, and William, Bishop of Norwich.

Roger and Maud were the parents of William II de Kerdiston, 2nd. Baron Kerdiston, born in 1307 at Kerdiston, who died, aged 54, on 14th. August 1361 at Claxton, Norfolk and was buried at Langley, Norfolk.

In 1305 Edward I knighted Roger. Edward III made him sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk and governor of Norwich Castle. In 1332 he was summoned to parliament as a Baron.

Sir Roger died on 1st. July 1337 at Halesworth, Suffolk. He was buried at Langley with Hardley, Norfolk

The memorial is on the north wall of the sanctuary at St. Mary's at Reepham, Norfolk. On top of the tomb chest lies a figure in armour laying on a bed of cobbles, which may represent his painful death or the pain of his sins. At the feet is a lion, a symbol of courage, and around the base are ten small figures weeping in sadness.

Maud died after 8th. December 1347 and was buried at Langley.
