THE Fanes of Combe Bank in Sundridge, were a branch of the house of Westmorland. Robert Fane, the first squire of Combe Bank, was seventh and youngest son of Francis, first Earl of Westmorland of that family, by Mary Mildmay, the heiress of Apethorpe. Of his brothers two were in arms for the King, and one for the Parliament, whilst the eldest born ran with the hare and hunted with the hounds to his own content and advancement. Our Robert Fane, being a young man and possibly a wise one, did not meddle in these troubles. He married a daughter of Sir John Sedley of Ightham, and died in 1657.
