Robert del Clyff

He was quite a character from the 1367 Court Roll reading by Mark Bailey. Note that this was after the Pestilence so he may have felt that he had the upper hand. —May 1356 ‘refuses to perform plough services as summoned by the lord’s reap reeve on four occasions’, fined 12d.  ‘pastures his sheep on le hethe against the will…

1035 and 1044 gift of land Leofgifu

Update: 01FEB20 Another, slightly later, document we found is an example of this confusion. An academic paper ((Williams, A. (n.d.) Earls, ceorls, thegns and lords.))  quoted: 'between 1035 and 1044, the East Anglian lady Leofgifu gave Godric her reeve the land at Waldringfield, Suffolk, which she had previously loaned to him.'

Rev Henry Canham

When Rev Henry Canham move away from the village his very important Suffolk Red Crag collection was bought by Sir someone who was an MP and presented to Ipswich Museum.  The best collection ever.
