- Born: Horton Kirby, Dartford, Kent, England
- Marriage: Sir John de Northwode Knight
- Died: 2 Jun 1319, Whitfield, Dover, Kent, England
 Noted events in her life were:
• Background Information. John de Northwode married (query about 1275) Joan de Badlesmere*. He died 26 May 1319, and his widow 2 June following; they were buried in Minster church.
* Called in NGR. lady of the manors of Horton near Canterbury and Bewsfield (otherwise Whitfield) near Dover. These appear in her Inq.p.m. Hasted says she was daughter of Guncelin (Joscelin) de Badlesmere, who gave these manors with her in free marriage to John de Northwode. No deed of such gift has been found, but John was said to hold 10 marks rents in Harrietsham of the gift of Guncelin. Her age would make it likely that Joan was sister, not daughter, of Guncelin.
