There is also a farm in this parish called Lea, belonging to George Thynne Carteret, son of Henry Frederick Thynne, second son of Thomas Thynne, and Louisa Carteret, daughter of Grace Granville, daughter and coheir of John Granville, created Earl of Bath by King Charles the 2d.
George Thynne Carteret is Baron Carteret, by a creation, dated Jan. the 29th, 1784, granted to his father.
This farm may have caused the double names of Kempthorne and Lea.
