-Maydekin is a name which refers to two houses related to the Oxinden/Oxenden family at the border of the parishes of Barham and Denton in Kent - Great Maydekin and Little Maydekin.  D.K. Gardiner writes that Little Maydekin was the dower house of Great Maydekin (Gardiner, 1933:xiv), though the English Heritage listing text suggests it was the dower house of Broome Park.  Great Maydekin's first owners were from the Maydekin family.  Subsequently the property came to James Brooker (b.?, d. 1588), whose daughter Elizabeth was the first wife of Sir Henry Oxinden of Deane.  Richard Oxinden, father of Henry Oxinden of Barham, was the first Oxinden to own the Maydekin property.  He was a grandson of James Brooker.  Mckay (1998:178) states that James Brooker owned ca. 500 acres in and around the parish of Barham, and that Richard Oxinden owned and enlarged Great Maydekin.  Henry Oxinden of Barham moved from Great Maydekin to Little Maydekin in 16XX after financial troubles forced him to sell the larger property.
