Since starting my page on the listed buildings in the area I have been in correspondence with an ancestor of
John Rippingale the elder (d 1565) and his son John Rippingale (husbandman) d 1578.
This places them in the village of Belchamp Walter in the 16th Century.
The correspodance was with Paul Rippingale about his Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great
Great Great Great Great Great grandfather.
I have broken the "admission" into sections and added links and notes. The transcript below is not easy to
read and I am still in the process of formating it. Please return to this page to see my progress.

Notes and Defintions
I previously had links to Wikipedia and other websites for these definitions as I don't intend this
website and pages to be a "look-up" service for those that find it making searches I have put some definitions here
as I see relevant.
North End
Mentioned in the Brook Admission as North Head (I am supposing). Also mentions a South Head, for which there doesn't seem
to be a mordern eqivalent.
North End is between Belchamp Walter, Gestingthorpe and Great Yeldham.
Green Common
This is refererred to a Green Meadow
Richard Rayment
A name to be researched................
Rippingale, Lincolnshire
This was revealed to the author by a descendent of the Rippingale family who provided the reference to the
Admission of Brook.
Defintion of Admission
Here in the Admission of Jerimah Brook it is more likely to be a statement of fact rather than an admission of
misdeed or having not succeded in something. (Cambridge Dictionary)
Defintion of Pightle
a portion of land picked off from a larger field
Joseph Rippingale
There is evidence of a Joseph being born in 1730 to a Joseph and Elizabeth Rippingale. He was married in May 1755
to Sarah Hardy with whom he had two daughters (Mary and Sarah) and then to Mary Rayner in 1766 (the Rayner family
owned and ran the village brick works) and Joseph Rippingale took over as the potter in the latter years of the
18th century.
He had two sons with Mary (Samuel and William).
"
The Rayner Family were also owners of the Hedingham Brick Works.
Bevingdon House
This is in Belchamp Otten.
