THE family bearing this surname had possessions in Surrey soon after the Norman conquest, where they continued to the time of Henry the Fifth. A charter of free warren was granted 37th Henry III. to a Sir John d'Abernoun, for his demesne land in the manors of Stoke d'Abernoun and Fetcham, in the county above mentioned. The subject of this effigy in Stoke d'Abernoun church was his son, who died in 1327.
