The Baynards of Lackham In a letter written by William Petre (commissioner looking into the affairs of the Abbey prior to the Dissolution) written to Thomas Cromwell he writes of an upcoming departure from Lacock, and of leaving “the possession of the house with Mr Sherington, according to your pleasure”. Sherington therefore, still destitute of a title (which he was awarded on the Coronation of Edward VI) came into possession of the Abbey a year and a half before he became its owner. What was he doing there? How did he who had no connection with Wiltshire, come to know about Lacock Abbey? A possibility has been suggested - “Sherington was at this time married to his second wife Elyanor, daughter of Sir William Walsingham. This lady’s first cousin, Eleanor, daughter of Sir Edward Walsingham, was the second wife of Edward Barnyard of Lackham.” 236 Whatever he may or may not have removed from the King’s exchequer, Sharrington removed much of the existing Abbey He destroyed the abbey church, he sold the church bells and rebuilt Rey Bridge with the proceeds 237 It is strange that such a venerable publication as VCH would repeat this without a caveat that at best he rebuilt Reybridge. Reybridge had been in existence for many centuries before Sharrington’s time 238 . 236 Clark-Maxwell, Rev WG, quoted in Watson, A (1923) The Story of Lacock Abbey Wiltshire Gazette February 1923 Chapter VI In Tudor times 237 VCH Wiltshire vol III p314 238 See the discussion in Hinton, FH (1943) The Roads and Bridges of the Parish of Lacock Wilts WAM vol L no CLXXVIII June 1943 p135. However it may be that Sharrington rebuilt Reybridge so that it could be used by vehicles, as there appears to be evidence that previously it was only a footbridge, this might be considered building rather than re-building 74
The Baynards of Lackham Watson mourns …The adjoining Lady Chapel, in which so many prayers had been said for the soul of Sir John Bluet and where this former Lord of Lackham had been buried, was dealt with in the same way as the Church 239 . This explains why there are no monuments to the Bluets or early Baynards in St Cyriac’s; as has been seen these were in the Abbey church and so were destroyed along with the building. Eleanor died without children in 1559 240 Edward’s third wife was Elizabeth, daughter of John Warneford of Severn-hampton 241 . 239 Watson, A (1923) The Story of Lacock Abbey Wiltshire Gazette February 1923 Chapter VI In Tudor times 240 Kite, E (1899) Old Lackham House and its owners in Wiltshire Notes & Queroies vol III p60 June 1899 241 The monumental inscriptions of Lacock Parish Wiltshire Family History Society, Devizes. W&SHC micrfofiche 607477, hereafter referred to as “Lacock Inscriptions” A modern member of this family, Sub. Lt. R A J Warneford, single-handedly destroyed one of Germany’s raiding Zeppelins in 1915 Warneford has an entry in the DNB vol X pp553-554 : Reginald Alexander John Warneford (1891-1915), airman, was born at Darjeeling, India, on 15 th October 1891, the eldest child and only son of Reginald William Henry , a civil engineer of Puddletrenthide (sic) in Dorset, by his wife Dora Alexander Campbell.

In February 1915 he was granted a commission as probationary Sub Lt in the Royal Naval Air Service, and gained his flying certificate at Hendon, flying a Bristol biplane, on 25th February. He was posted to No 1 wing at Dunkirk [Warneford’s account of the attack on the air-ship is given in Mary Gibson’s Warneford VC (1979, Friends of the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton)] . For this achievement he was awarded the first Victoria Cross to be earned by the RNAS, it was also the first award notified by telegram. Warneford died 17th June 1915 testing an Henri 75
