The history of the Bax Family of East Kent can be followed back to the 14th Century when the family was extensively involved in farming and blacksmithing around Sandwich.
In the late 17th Century there was a move westwards along Watling Street to Faversham where the family prospered as farmers and brewers but by the onset of the Napoleonic Wars the family’s focus moved onto the service of the Empire with several generations of Naval and military involvement.
The current High Sheriff of Kent, Michael Bax, has spent his business career advising farmers and landowners in Kent and East Sussex. He is Senior Partner of the BTF Partnership, a land agency practice based at Challock near Ashford. He runs his own small farm between Ashford and Tenterden. Michael and Jan have two adult children, William and Sarah and a granddaughter Tabitha.
