BOTON

Hundred of South Erpingham: Boton

The manor of Boton, and advowson, came to the Pecches, Jeffry and Simon (fn. 4) Pecche his son had it, and William Pecche granted it to Roger de Gyneto, or Gyney, the moiety of the advowson, William Bartholomew and Fulk de Gyneto, being witnesses to it; the said William in 1205 having recovered part of it against Ralf and Eborard, sons of Simon, father of William, who presented to it, and were lords of Midleton's manor, and of Scot's part, which was now joined to Midleton's.

In 1263 John son of Alexander de Vallibus or Vaux of Aslacton and Keswic, had a charter for free-warren to his manor here, and in Branteston; and in 1285, Roger son of William de Gyney, and Margaret his wife, released all their rights here to Richard de Skeyton, in whom both manors were vested; and in 1314 Petronella or Parnel de Nerford held Botune of the honour of Clare; and in 1315 Roger de Gynney held a moiety of her, as one manor, (fn. 6) and Ralf de Skeyton the other moiety, as another manor. In 1323 Oliver de Redham, and Ralf, rector of Skeyton, as trustees, settled this and Skeyton on Sir Ralf de Skeyton aforesaid for life, and then on Maud de Nerford and her two sons, Ralf and Edward.

The windows were very fine formerly, and had the following arms in them, but most are now lost.

Gyney, paly of six, or and gul. a chief erm. impaling Kerdeston.

Warren, chequy or and az. on a canton gul. a lion rampant arg. the canton and lion being Nerford's arms, quartering 1st, or, on a chevron gul. three swans arg. 2d, az. crusuly three lozenges or.

Gyney single, Calthorp with a crescent. Wichingham. Shelton. Herne or Heron, ar. three heronshaws or hernes sab.

fn 6. In 1332, Thomas son of Roger de Gyney, and Margery widow of Roger, settled the manor and advowson on the said Thomas, who in 1383, by the name of Sir Thomas Gyney of Heverland, Knt. had a confirmation of freewarren to his manor here. In 1442, Sir John Gyney of Dilham, Knt. by will, ordered William Paston and other his feoffees, to present Jeffry Haldeyn, vicar of Dilham, to this church when void; about 1449 it belonged to Sir Henry Inglose, Knt. of Dilham, inheritor of Geney's lands; at whose death it was sold, and so the whole became united, and remained so till Midleton's was sold from it again.

BRANDESTON

Eynford Hundred: Brandeston and Guton

Brandeston was a small lordship, or beruite, belonging to King Herold's great lordship of Cawston, in South Erpingham hundred, and at the conquest was possessed by King William I. We learn from the survey, that 4 freemen formerly held here (under Herold) 52 acres of land, with a carucate and a half and 8 acres of meadow, &c. and that it was valued in Causton. (fn. 1) It remained in the Crown many years; King John granted it with Causton to be held in capite of him, to Hubert Burgh Earl of Kent, and was held of him by the family of De Peccato, or Peche, and after by the family of de Gyney, as I shall show.

William Peche, son of Simon, was living in the reign of Edward I.; his daughter and heir brought it by marriage to Roger, 2d son of William de Gyney, who in the 10th of that King, then a knight, was summoned to attend that King in his expedition into Wales. Sir Roger, and Margery his wife, claimed in an assise, the advowson of the church of Brandeston, against Robert Fitz-Roger, which Simon Peche, his wife's grandfather, was possessed of. In the 15th of the said King, he claimed a weekly mercate on Friday, a fair on the decollation of St. John Baptist, and free warren.

He was living in the 3d of Edward III. and Margery his widow in the 7th of that King, settled by fine, on Thomas their son, a mill, with rents in these towns, and 4l. 2s. rents per ann This Thomas married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Mortimer; (fn. 3) in 1378, she made her testament, which was proved October 24, 1378, and desires to be buried in the church of Sir Nicholas of Brandeston, near to her husband, and appoints her son, Sir John Gyney, executor.

In 1400, Sir Thomas Gyney gave by his will, dated September 22, (fn. 4) to Cecily his wife, all his goods and chattles, and was proved July 10, 1403; she was in the 13th of Henry IV. the wife of Sir Thomas Gerberge, and Sir Thomas Gyney her son, by his will, dated May 1, in the 5th of Henry V. and proved February 10, 1420, bequeaths his body to be buried in the Augustin friars church at Norwich, and sums of money to the churches of Brandeston, Woodnorton, Geist, Patesley, Swannington in Norfolk; Geslingham and Gestington in Suffolk; (fn. 5) he seems to have left an only daughter, Margery, who, as lady of Guton Hall, presented to this church in 1431.

In a window of the chancel ... paly of six or, and gules, and a chief, ermine Gynney.

In 1338, Thomas Andrew, instituted rector, presented by Thomas, son of Sir Roger Gyney, deceased.

1349, John de Massingham, by Sir Thomas Genye.

1431, Henry Hehoys, by Margery Gyney, in right of the manor of Guton, in Brandeston.

Margery de Boton, was an anchoress here, in the church, as I take it. The temporalitities of St. Faith's 12s. 8d. Of Longevile priory 12d.

HEVERLAND MANOR

This was the principal lordship, and the family of de Gisneto, or Gisne, or Gyney, was soon after the Conquest enfeoft of it, who probably took their name from the town of Guisn, near Calais in France; Sir William de Gynento, was a witness to the deed of confirmation of Geffrey, son of Bartholomew, son of William de Glanvile, founder of Bromholm priory. Roger de Gyney, lived also about the said time, (in King Henry the Second's reign) and was father of Reginald, rector of the church of Heverland in the time of King John.

Baldwin de Gisney was living in the 8th year of that King, and granted his right in the church of Wichingham to the prior of Longuevile; by Maud his wife, he was father of Roger de Gisneia, lord of this manor in the 18th of Henry III. held of the honour of Gloucester and Clare, and extended into Wichingham, Whitwell, Kerdeston, &c.; this Roger levied a fine in the 33d of that King, to Beringarius, prior of St. Faith's, of Horsham, the advowson of this church, and married Joan, daughter of - - - - - - - - - -, sister and coheir of Sir Peter de Pelevile, (who remarried Sir John de Vaux,) and by her had Sir William de Gyney, his son and heir, and Sir Roger, who married Margaret, daughter of William Peche, and in her right was lord of Brandeston.

He was succeeded by Sir William his son, lord in the 16th of Edward II. who was father of Sir Roger Gyney, by Elizabeth his wife.
Sir Roger occurs lord in the '21st of Edward III. in which year he had grant of a weekly mercate, (long since discontinued,) and of a fair on the 10th of August, (St. Laurence's day,) which is still kept up.

Robert Gyney

Ashby
Haskely or Haskeby

The ancient family of De Inglose, who held under the De Albeneys, Earls of Arundel, at Lodden, in Norfolk, in King John's time; and who are supposed to derive their name from a village, or hamlet, of that parish, called Golosa, since corrupted to Inglose, became very early enfeoffed in this manor.

Weever mentions a Robert Inglose, Esq., who died in 1365, and was buried in Lowestoft church; most likely a member of this family. Sir Henry Inglose, Knt, served in the wars of France, and in the 3rd of King Henry V. (then an Esquire), preferred a libel in the court of the Earl Marshal of England, against Sir John Tiptoft, who had retained him, with sixteen lances, several archers, &c., and refused to pay him; and so he, the said Henry, declared that "He was ready, by the help of God and Saint George, to prove against the said Sir John, body to body, as the law and custom of arms required in that behalf."

In 1421, being then a Knight, he was taken prisoner at the battle of Bengy, in France, where the Duke of Clarence was slain; and in the 5th of Henry VI., he being proxy for Sir John Fastolf, was installed a Knight of the Garter for Mm. Sir Henry married Anne, the daughter and heir of Robert Gyney, of Haverland, in Norfolk, by Margaret his wife, daughter and heir of John Fastolf, Esq. His will bears date in 1451; by which he devises to Henry Inglose, Esq., his eldest son, the manors of Dilham, Loddon, and Washingford, in Norfolk, and Ashby, in Suffolk.

He inherited the same, and died possessed thereof, in the 8th of King Henry VIII., when Henry was found to be his son and heir, aged 18; who, upon his coming of age, appears to have disposed of this estate; for, in 1520, tin's manor became the property of the Jernegans, and has since passed as the Somerleyton estate.

The Almoner of the Cathedral Priory at Norwich, received a temporal rent of 8d. from this parish.

ARMS. Inglose: barry of six, argent and azure; on a canton of the first, five billets in saltier, sable.

Sir Roger, and Margery his wife, claimed in an assise, the advowson of the church of Brandeston, against Robert Fitz-Roger, which Simon Peche, his wife's grandfather, was possessed of. In the 15th of the said King, he claimed a weekly mercate on Friday, a fair on the decollation of St. John Baptist, and free warren.

He was living in the 3d of Edward III. and Margery his widow in the 7th of that King, settled by fine, on Thomas their son, a mill, with rents in these towns, and 4l. 2s. rents per ann This Thomas married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Mortimer; (fn. 3) in 1378, she made her testament, which was proved October 24, 1378, and desires to be buried in the church of Sir Nicholas of Brandeston, near to her husband, and appoints her son, Sir John Gyney, executor.

In 1400, Sir Thomas Gyney gave by his will, dated September 22, (fn. 4) to Cecily his wife, all his goods and chattles, and was proved July 10, 1403; she was in the 13th of Henry IV. the wife of Sir Thomas Gerberge, and Sir Thomas Gyney her son, by his will, dated May 1, in the 5th of Henry V. and proved February 10, 1420, bequeaths his body to be buried in the Augustin friars church at Norwich, and sums of money to the churches of Brandeston, Woodnorton, Geist, Patesley, Swannington in Norfolk; Geslingham and Gestington in Suffolk; (fn. 5) he seems to have left an only daughter, Margery, who, as lady of Guton Hall, presented to this church in 1431.

EARLY CHANCERY PROCEEDINGS, SERIES C.1

Description:

The early chancery suits begin in the reign of Richard II, and come down to Phillip and Mary (1558). There 
are 1522 bundles of these, with perhaps 70 or so suits filed in every bundle. There is a calendar in ten volumes 
in the Lists and Indexes series, which is completely unindexed. John Hunt and I paged through the entire 
calendar, an enormous chore. As daunting as this is, it is far more satisfactory than the plea rolls where there is 
no calendar or means of easy access at all.  
The chancery suits deal with subject suing subject on civil disagreements (not criminal matters). The Crown 
supplied courts, judges, clerks, rendered a judgement and collected a fee, but had no other interest in the 
proceedings.  
Almost all of the suits involving the family have been abstracted, and a fuller account will be found in our 
files. My page numbers are marked with asterisk (*) and included with parentheses. John Hunt, with whom I 
exchanged copies, has dealt with his set differently.  
In addition to the cases indexed below a good many others were looked at when they involved places and 
families associated with the Skydmores. Generally speaking this proved to be largely unproductive, although a 
few cases are noticed here.  
In ordering up any of the following bundles or files the numbers must be preceded by C.1. 

Quotes to this item as:

TRANSACTIONS OF THE WOOLHOPE NATURALISTS' FIELD CLUB HEREFORDSHIRE

MORTALITY IN THE DIOCESE OF HEREFORD 1442 - 1541 by M. A. FARADAY

1522-1523 

A peak in October began a year of average mortality, though Stottesdon was well above and Forest well below normal. Most deaths occurred in Leominster (14) and Ludlow (8).

Groups of deaths included:

(a) Margery and Maud Beckinsale and Ralph Strete of Leominster; and

(b) Philip, Elizabeth, William and John GYNNY of Little Birch.

Not the same William and John GYNNY in the Chancery records because that suit took place in 1556 or 1558.

Eynford Hundred: Heverland Manor

King Henry II, 1154 to 1189
King John, Lackland, 1199 to 1216

Roger de Gyney,

This was the principal lordship, and the family of de Gisneto, or Gisne, or Gyney, was soon after the Conquest enfeoft of it, who probably took their name from the town of Guisn, near Calais in France; Sir William de Gynento, was a witness to the deed of confirmation of Geffrey, son of Bartholomew, son of William de Glanvile, founder of Bromholm priory. Roger de Gyney, lived also about the said time, (in King Henry the Second's reign) and was father of Reginald, rector of the church of Heverland in the time of King John.

Baldwin de Gisney was living in the 8th year of that King, and granted his right in the church of Wichingham to the prior of Longuevile; by Maud his wife, he was father of Roger de Gisneia, lord of this manor in the 18th of Henry III. held of the honour of Gloucester and Clare, and extended into Wichingham, Whitwell, Kerdeston, &c.; this Roger levied a fine in the 33d of that King, to Beringarius, prior of St. Faith's, of Horsham, the advowson of this church, and married Joan, daughter of - - - - - - - - - -, sister and coheir of Sir Peter de Pelevile, (who remarried Sir John de Vaux,) and by her had Sir William de Gyney, his son and heir, and Sir Roger, who married Margaret, daughter of William Peche, and in her right was lord of Brandeston ...

Robert Gyney, brother and heir (as I take it) to Sir John, succeeded him; he married Margaret, daughter and heir of John Fastolf, relict of John Honing, by whom she had a daughter, Margaret, married to Robert Bois, Esq. of Ingham, and by Gyney, had a daughter and heir, Anne, who married Sir Henry Inglose, lord in her right, in the 17th of Henry VI. by his will dated June 20, 1451, he devises his manors of Dilham, Lodne, &c. to Henry, his son and heir, who was lord in the 7th of Henry VII.

Edward his son sold this lordship to William Halse. of Kenedon, in Devonshire, Esq. in the 20th of Henry V. Thomas Halse, his son and heir, was living in the 37th of that King

Writ of aid, directing the said constables and the subcollectors or deputies under pain of forfeiture, in consideration of the urgency of the case, with all speed to levy and deliver to the collectors from time to time according to the form of their commission all sums by them assessed or yet to be assessed upon them the said constables and upon single persons and the commons of the towns and parishes of the said hundred which are not yet assessed nor fully paid, so that full payment thereof be made before the feast of St. Gregory next at latest, and to be aiding the collectors in the execution of the premises, knowing moreover that, if they be not obedient to this present command, the king will be wroth with them as with men who rebel against him ; as the king by letters patent appointed Robert de Mortymer, Ralph de Shelton, Roger Geney, William Clere, William de Norton and John de Cressyngham, five, four, three and two of them by oversight of the earl of Suffolk and certain others appointed for the purpose in Norffolk to assess the subsidy of ll6s. of every parish in the realm lately granted to the king by the lords and commons of England, so that every parish of greater value throughout the county should be aiding and contribute rateably to another of less value without severance by hundreds or otherwise, and the said subsidy being so assessed parish by parish appointed them to levy and collect the same of all the king's subjects, namely as well of lords as of other secular persons of whatsoever estate or condition sparing none, and to make answer to the king for it at set terms long past ; and whereas in Norffolk as well by default and negligence of the collectors as by rebellion of the said constables and many more who refused to pay the sums reasonably assessed upon them, great part of that subsidy, amounting to 4,674l. 16s, was and yet is in arrear, the king many times after straitly commanded the collectors without delay to levy of all his secular subjects sparing none all sums assessed upon parishes and upon single persons, and to cause answer to be made to the king concerning them, whereof little or nothing has been done ; and the king is informed of a surety that payment [has not been made] of the sums so assessed as well upon the said constables as upon the commons of the said hundred and of the towns and parishes thereof, for which answer ouglit to have been made to the king at terms long past, not only by default of the collectors, but also for that the said constables and certain others of the hundred, whom the collectors deputed to levy and collect the said subsidy under them in that hundred, despising the king's commands, have taken no heed to levy the sum assessed of the commons, and the commons have taken no heed to pay the same, whereat the king is disturbed and moved to anger not without cause. The king has commanded the sheriff from time to time to arrest the said constables, the subcollectors and all other of the said commons who shall be found contrary and rebellious herein, and to bring them before the king and council to answer for their contempt.

The Battle Abbey Roll

In Norfolk, "the family of De Gisneto, Gisne, or Gyney, was enfeoffed of Haverland soon after the Conquest. Sir William and Roger lived in the time of Henry II. They remained Lords of Haverland till Edward Gisnes sold it 20 Hen. V. William de Gyney, founded Mountjoy Priory in the reign of Richard I."—Blomfield's Norfolk.

Jenney Family, Nottishall [or Knottishall], Blithing; Suffolk

"The family of Jenney became very early enfeoffed in this lordship; they were originally of France, and are supposed to have assumed their surname from the town of Guisnes, near Calais, and probably came into England with the Conqueror : the manor of Haverland, in Norfolk, soon after that period being held by proprietors of the name of De Gisneto (De Gisne, or Gyney,), which they held until the time of King Henry V.

From that house, it would appear, the above branched, and that the name in process of time, changed from Gyney, to Jenney. In the 9th of King Richard II*, Thomas, son of Sir Thomas Gyney, Knt., enfeoffed his manor of Gislingham, in this county, called "Gyney,'s," which had been lately purchased of John de Weyland : this manor still retains the name of "Jenneys.""

Gislingham

It appears that a branch of the Gyney, (or Jenney) family were formerly interested here ; as Sir Thomas Gyney, by will proved in 1420, makes a bequest to this parish church. He appears to have left an only daughter, Margery ; who was lady of Guton, in Norfolk, and presented to Brandeston church, in that county, in 1431, as such.

Full text of "A history of the ancient chapels of Didsbury and Chorlton, in Manchester parish : including sketches of the townships of Didsbury, Withington, Burnage, Heaton Norris, Reddish, Levenshulme, and Chorlton-cum-Hardy: together with notices of the more ancient local families, and particulars relating to the descent of their estates." 

by Booker, John, 1820?-1895 

A HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT PAROCHIAL CHAPEL OF DIDSBURY. 

In 1578 Sir Edmund Trafford Knt. prosecuted Ralph Woods 
and Hugh Gynney at Lancaster for trespass on Didsbury Moor ; 
it does not however appear that the Traffords possessed any 
greater interest in Didsbury than that of participating in the 
rights, advantages and profits of the waste lands in the town- 
ship. Of the family of Gynney or Yannes, long resident in the 
township, many scattered and incidental allusions have reached 
us. In 1673 one Mr. Yannes, minister of some adjacent cure, 
preached at Didsbury Chapel, as appears from the Churchwardens’ 
accounts of that period ; and eight years after, Samuel Yannis of 
Didsbury gent, marries Margaret Mainwaring of Warford. An 
early Inquisition p.m. of Ingelramus de Gynes, dated in the reign 
of Edward II., assigns to him lands &c. in Whitington, Asheton 
and Lancaster ; from the similarity in name he is presumed to he 
of the same family.
