Biography

John Wymondham bought Crownthorpe and Trusbutt's Manors in 1439 from William Halys and his wife Margery, of Welles, and sometime after 1443, he bought Wicklewode from Alexander Mason.^[1]

These places became the seat of the Wyndham family for generations and their origin is lost in antiquity. As early as 1254, they were both taxed in Norwich taxation (Norfolk Archaeology - Vol. 17 - Page 113). Wicklewode appears to have belonged to Gilbert Malet in 1190.^[2]

In 1446, when the grandson of the John married Margaret Howard, these estates were settled upon them and their issue for life.^[3]
