22 February 2005:

New material

David Hepworth has generously provided me with electronic versions of several lengthy papers on the Savilles and associated families, originally published in 1920s in the Yorkshire Archaeological Journal. These are well worth a look, not only for the very full details of the particular families described, but also because they contain transcripts of many documents, and illustrate the kinds of evidence that are useful in establishing medieval pedigrees.

I'm also grateful to the Dean of St Nicholas's Cathedral, Newcastle upon Tyne, for permission to reproduce the brass to Roger and Agnes Thornton (formerly at All Saints Church) together with associated information, which were kindly supplied to me by Bob Thornton.
