72 Gore, T (1666) Syntagma Genealogicum or A genealogical treatise of the
family of the Gores of Aldrington or Aldertonp p61 There is a pencilled note
above this entry, in Jackson’s handwriting, that “in William Dauntsey’s will of
1420 he leaves a legacy to William Gore his Seneschal (Sir Richard C Hoare
Modern Wilts History of Alderbury p83)”
A bond dated 17 th July 1437 (Pafford, JHP (1956) Wiltshire Deeds in the Bath
Public Library p169) indicates that William Gore the elder had the rights of the
annual rent “issuing from the manor of Wynterborne Dauntsey” – it is tempting
to speculate that this Manor was the legacy R C-H and JEJ mention
73 Gore, T (1666) ibid p74
“Among the names of the Gentry of the County of Wilts recorded by the
Commissioners of the Twelfth year of King Henry the sixth lately printed by
Thomas Fuller DD in the book entitled The Worthies of England are found
William Gore,sen, and William Gore, jun”. Thomas Fuller was, as will be seen,
Thomas Gore’s tutor at Oxford and godfather to one of his sons
