Biography

"The first recorded possessor of South Wraxall was Robert Longe, who was in the commission of the peace in 1426, and M.P. for Wilts in 1433. He is stated to have married Alice, daughter of Reginald Popham, of North Bradley, Wilts, by whom he had issue three sons, Henry, John, and Reginald. In the 25th year of the reign of Henry VI. A.D. 1447, Henry was found to be his heir and to be upwards of thirty years of age, while Thomas Wayte was found to be the heir of Margaret, his wife, and to be upwards of twenty-four years of age; so that he must have married, for a second wife, this Margaret, who was relict of Edward Wayte, of Draycot Cerne, and daughter of Philip Popham, of Berton Sacy, in Hampshire; which may account for two coats of Popham having been in the Manor House, one without and the other with a crescent, the sign of cadence.” ^[1]
