Sevenoak, a market town in Kent, near the river Dart or Darent, 23 miles from London, in the road to Rye. It obtained its name from seven very large oaks which grew near it, when it was first built; and is governed by a Warden and Assistants. Here is an hospital and school, for the maintenance of people in years, and the instruction of youth, first erected by Sir William Sevenoak, Lord Mayor of London in the year 1418, who is said to have been a foundling supported and educated at the expence of a charitable person of this town, whence he took his name. The school afterwards met with other benefactors, and among the rest, Queen Elizabeth having greatly augmented its revenue, it was thence called Queen Elizabeth’s free school. It was rebuilt in 1727. Sir Henry Fermor, Bart. has a seat here; as has also Dr. Thomas Fuller. About a mile from Sevenoak, to the south, is Knowl Place, the seat of the Duke of Dorset, situated in the middle of a park; and towards the east is the seat of —— Pratt, Esq; which is also seated in the midst of a park.
