The Manor of Alderton 3 rd edition
In 1374 John Goore witnessed an inquisition at Devizes 64 . Less than six
months later Thomas and Robert Goore were involved in another
inquisition, also at Devizes 65 .
There is a Thomas who appears in the records of Lacock Abbey at exactly
this time – in 1371 he witnessed a charter of the abbess Faith 66 and
twenty one years later another for her successor Agnes and the chaplain
William Payn.
In 1371 John Gore gave land to the Convent of Monkton Farleigh 67 and in
the last decade of the fourteenth century two more Gores are known
locally – Robert Gore resigned as the Priest of the Free Chapel in
Marlborough Castle in 1397 and two years later Nicholas Gore resigned
the same position 68 . The relationship between these two - if any - and
their relationship to the Gores of Alderton, if any, are not known. There
is a Robert on the pedigree at this time, brother to William.
