The Baynard family - Lackham Countryside Centre

The Baynards
The eldest son, Robert Temys, married yet another Joan 154 , who
was the widow of William Ludlow of Hill Deverill, died 1533. William
Ludlow was a nephew of Robert’s grandmother, a sufficiently distant
relationship for this to be perfectly legal and genetically sound.
Robert Temys’ second wife was Margaret Everley, and their son
William Temys ultimately sold Rood Ashton to William Burton of
Alton Barnes.
Thomas became a merchant in London and married a London
merchant’s daughter, Elizabeth Boweswhile Christopher married a
“daughter of Ringwood “ 155
To return to the children of Robert and Elizabeth Ludlow; Kite
suggests that three of the other sons may have been Richard, who
was a scholar at Winchester in 1479, William who was MP for Hinton
in 1491-92 but the evidence for him was not presented 156 . Evidence
for the existence of Richard, however is found in no less a place
than Oxford University – Richard Baynard of Lacock was at New
College Oxford in 1487 157 . As was possible then he only stayed at
the University for a year of study, nothing else is known about him.
Another brother, Henry, was given land at Sheldon, Chippenham, by
Edward Hungerford in 1528.
This is not the first connection between the Baynards and the
powerful Hungerford family; Robert’s will was witnessed by Sir

two volume manuscript collection of Kite’s published and research work on
Wiltshire families held in WANHS library.
