Sir Basil DIXWELL (d.1641) inherited considerable estates at Folkestone and other parts of co. Kent (including 149 acres in Romney Marsh) from his maternal uncle, John Herdson in the early 17th century. Having built a mansion house at Broome, co. Kent he moved there in 1622. The estates later devolved upon his nephew's son, also named Basil, who was created a baronet on 1660 June 18. It is to this member of the family that the records described below relate. He married Dorothy, daughter and co.-heir of Sir Thomas Peyton of Knowlton, co. Kent. The estate was sold in 1697 to Jacob Desbouverie and the baronetcy became extinct on the death of his grandson on 1750 March 25.
