The connection between Tyrell (Tirrell) and Helion (Hyllinyn) can be seen on my
Swynborne page.
It can also be seen on my Gernon page. Both of these relate forward
to Roger Wentworth.
My page on the Essex Archaeological Society shows the connection to
Swynbourne, Boutetort, Rolfe, Gernon plus other families.
Background to this page
Having seen some of my history pages being found by those making an Internet search I have decided to add
a bit more context on how the pages came about.
Alice (Coggeshall) Tyrrell (1382 - 1422)
This is where the connection to Wentworth and the possible residency
in Belchamp Manor.
James Tyrrell ( 1445 - 1502)
Supposed executioner of the "Princes in the Tower".
Thomas More claims that he confessed and Shakespere portrays him as being recuited by Richard III (then Duke of Gloucester)
to kill both children.
In 1469, Tyrrell married Anne Arundel, the daughter of John Arundel of Lanherne, by his first wife, Elizabeth Morley,
daughter of Thomas, Lord Morley,[1] by whom he had three sons and a daughter:
- Sir Thomas Tyrrell (d. 1551) of Gipping, who married firstly Margaret Willoughby, daughter of Christopher
Willoughby, 10th Baron Willoughby de Eresby, by whom he had a son, Sir John Tyrrell (d. 1574), who married Elizabeth Munday,
the daughter of Sir John Munday (d. 1537), Lord Mayor of London, and a daughter, Anne Tyrrell, who married
Sir John Clere of Ormesby.[10][11][12]
- James Tyrrell (d. 1539) of Columbine Hall in Stowupland, who married Anne Hotoft.[13][14]
- William Tyrrell.
- Anne Tyrrell, who married Sir Richard Wentworth (d. 1528) of Nettlestead, by whom she was the mother of Thomas Wentworth,
1st Baron Wentworth.
From oxford-shakespeare.com: Prerogative Court of Canterbury - Sir Thomas Tyrell
The text here is from the Oxford Shakespeare (THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/17/263)
The document (part of which is below) is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the
will, dated 26 August 1510 and proved 16 October 1512, of Sir Thomas Tyrrell (c.1453-
1510?) of Heron in East Horndon, Essex, one of the two most important retainers of John
de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford.
And the 12 day of February th’ Earl of Oxenford and ther [sic] Lord Aubrey Vere, his
son, Sir Thomas Tuddenham, William Tyrrell and other were brought into the Tower of
London. And upon the 20 day of the said month the said Lord Aubrey was drawn from
Westminster to the Tower Hill and there beheaded. And the 23 day of the said month of
February Sir Thomas Tuddenham, William Tyrrell and John Montgomery were beheaded
at said Tower Hill. And upon the Friday next following, which was the 26 day of
February, th’ Earl of Oxenford was led upon foot from Westminster unto the Tower Hill,
and there beheaded, and after the corpse was had unto the Friar Augustines’, and there
buried in the choir.

Suffolk: The Boydell Press, 2011), pp. 39, 42.
The testator’s great-uncle, William Tyrrell (executed 23 February 1462) was the father of
Sir James Tyrrell (d. 6 May 1502), alleged murderer of the two young sons of Edward IV
in the Tower. See the ODNB entry and the pedigree of Tyrrell of Gipping in Metcalfe,

November 2023 - I see visits to this page presumably by someone who has found something on this
page that was of interest.
In some ways this is where the research starts in earnest. I have to
expmnd on how I have
researched these pages and the connections between the names of families in the region of Belchamp Walter.
The text and the quotes below have been taken from a number of sources. These need to have more cross-referencing performed
on them......
