Belchamp Walter - The Swynbourne Years
1391-1431
The manor and rectory of Bechamp Walter was the advowson of Swynbourne 1391-1431
The matrix of brass from the tomb in the aisle has been dated as 1425. The brass appears to be that of a knight and a priest.
1422 would have been the start of Henry VI's reign - Newcourt seems to have the regnal year off by 10 years.
Newcourt in his account of the clergy at Belchamp Walter seems to confirm that Sir Robert Swynbourne was assocaited with the village of Belchamp Walter.
