<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 />
