<strong>The</strong> <strong>Baynard</strong>s<br />
In May of 1482 Robert <strong>Baynard</strong> and John Bonham ignoring<br />
apparently the finding of the arbitrators, had been seizing<br />
one another’s cattle on the disputed land” 133<br />
<strong>The</strong> bad feeling between the two families didn’t end with Robert’s<br />
death; in 1504 a “bind over” was made on<br />
John Bonham of Haselbury and Henry <strong>Baynard</strong> of Lacoke co<br />
Wilts gentlemen for 100m[arks]; Henry to keep the king’s<br />
peace and appear before his Council when required. 134<br />
Either this Henry <strong>Baynard</strong> or his son had dealings with the<br />
Hungerford <strong>family</strong>; in 1520 135 he was granted an annuity of 26s 2d<br />
“from lands and pastures at Shedlon” by Sir Edward Hungerford.<br />
Why he was given the income is unknown.<br />
Robert and Elizabeth are commemorated by a memorial brass in<br />
Lacock church which records they had 18 children.<br />
