GODDINGTON, or Godington, a seat in Great Chart parish, Kent; 2 miles WNW of Ashford. It belonged to the Goldwells and the Champneys; and passed, in the time of Henry VII., to the Tokes. The house is ancient; has been partly modernized; and contains some good oak-carving. Nicholas Toke, of Goddington, who died in 1680, survived five wives; and walked to London, at 93 years of age, to seek a sixth.
