The Baynards
Thomas’s cemetery 126 . The next day William Swain 127 and Robert
Sawser granted the tenements they had been given by John Wyly
to the same people 128 . Wyly had granted other tenements in the
same area to the same people before, in 1459 129 . Six weeks later all
the tenements were granted back to John Wyly and his wife
Margaret 130 . Other tenements in Chipperslane were granted to
Thomas Hungerford and others, again including Robert Baynard II,
in October of the same year. Why Wyly was granting the
tenements and what Robert got out of it is unclear.
In the 1480’s Robert was in dispute with John Bonhamabout who
owned the Manor of Wick 131 . This was part of the holding
ofHazelbury manor, which the Croke family, and then the Bonham’s
held from the Baynards at Lackham, and so Robert argued that
Wick was his. John Bonham denied this, hence the dispute.
Eventually the decision went in Robert’s favour 132 . However this
didn’t stop there being trouble. Jackson records that
as it is now known, is about a quarter of a mile east of the river and 200 yards
north of St Thomas & St Edmund’s Church, Salisbury
