The Baynard family - Lackham Countryside Centre

The Baynards of Lackham
witnessed deeds for the Bell Inn in Chippenham on two separate
days, 103 it was not an Inn previously (see fn 40 )
In 1459 Phillip was a juror in case brought by Thomas Tropenell
against Johanna Beaushyn, and her son William, a continuation of
the arguments over the inheritance of Gt. Chalfieldseen earlier.
Joan Beauslyn was the aunt and heir of William Rous and she seized
the manor in this year Tropenell went to court and the case was
heard at Salisbury in July 1459. He won and obtained possession by
assise of novel disseisin 104 . To complete the story, although no
Baynards were involved in any of it after this time, in 1466 Thomas
Beverley again took the matter to court and this time was
successful., but he then sold his rights in the manor to Thomas
Tropenell who resumed living there 105 .
The date of Philip’s death is unknown but it was certainly after 1462
because in that year he witnessed deeds for the Chippenham
tenement known as “Iremongers”, which his father had also done
previously (See fn 79 ), in 1462.
Philip and Margaret’s heir was their son Robert II who was born
“before 1450” 106 , actually he may have been born long before this.

Wyk by Lacok 107 ” in 1450 by Robert Salmanto a number of people
