Pre-tudor Belchamp Walter

The Pre-Tudor period in Belchamp Walter's history relates to events before 1485 and after the Medieval period thet covers the period from Conquest until 1485..

I originally based my research on the account from Thomas Wright's The History and Topology....... Essex 1831/36.

While this account is pretty comprehensive I think that it needs to be deconstructed and put into context.

Botetourt to Gernon and Swynborne

William Fynderne married Katherine (Catherine) Barneys (Berners). [the spelling here seems to be a little variable].

Thomas Wright's Account of Belchamp Walter's history

The text taken from his original book is often difficult to follow and is often just a list of names with some dates.

I attempted to re-write some of his text to make more sense but trying to apply more research to the names I still find that I am confused. The first pass was good to get a list of names to investigate further.
