The Highly-Exceptional Case of a Family That Can Genuinely Prove Its Ancestry Back to a Norman Knight Living 1,000 Years Ago…And Very Probably to Rollo the Viking Wormley Family History The Wormley family of Yorkshire through 800 years Some members of the Wormley family in England in 2013. The highly-exceptional case of a family that can genuinely prove its ancestry back to a Norman knight living 1,000 years ago…and very probably to Rollo the Viking This is the remarkable story of one family, spanning 33 authentically-proven generations – in a single male line of descent, from the beginning of the 11th century to today. Our ancestors came to England from Normandy in 1066 and lived in Yorkshire for 800 years. But American researchers may find it interesting too, as Wormleys were important early Virginia colonists in the 1600s. It has taken nine years of very meticulous and painstaking research by two brothers, in their spare time, to discover and put all of this material together. We have carefully questioned a great many uncertain facts to ensure our findings are as accurate as possible, within the limitations of historical documents that still exist. Leading historical experts and genetical scientists have given us seriously-valuable assistance, and we hope you might consider our project a good job done to a high standard. If you can add any information please send us an email to [email protected] We would be very grateful for your help. (Any emails we receive will be treated in complete confidence and not passed on or used in any way. We promise to totally delete any email addresses sent to us, if requested to, and to ask your permission before adding any details to this website). Please also understand, though, that we cannot do any research for you or give guidance on how to trace your family tree. There are a number of professional websites that cover this, such as www.ancestry.com We hope you find our history fascinating, and useful too if you are doing your own studies. It may help Wormleys or other people who are distantly related to us to fill in gaps in their own family trees, as the further back you go in time, the more likely it becomes that we share the same ancestors.

Our first ancestor to set foot on English soil was Gilbert Crispin II, a heroic commander in the army of William the Conquerer at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. (According to Master Wace’s Chronical of the Norman Conquest, written in the 1100s). The Wormley family were a male-line, cadet branch of the Yorkshire Newmarches of Bentley, Arksey and Womersley, who were direct paternal descendants of the Crispins. In other words they were all one continuous family, but changed their ‘surname’ twice – from Crispin to Newmarch in around 1130AD, for reasons of marriage and inheritance, and again later from Newmarch to Wormley in the 13th or early 14th century. There was nothing strange about this fluidity in that period, when surnames were being invented and first coming into use. Previously, Christian names alone had been considered all that people needed, but this was becoming increasingly confusing and impractical for adequate identification. There is strong, although not conclusive, historical evidence that the Crispins may have been members of the family of the first dukes of Normandy, or had a close connection with them. After much detailed study of the limited historical information that survives today, we are confident that there was nearly-certainly some sort of ‘kinship relationship’ between the Crispins and the ducal house – whether a direct, male-line descent from Rollo the Viking, or perhaps a link through marriage or half-blood. Latin charters, 950 years old, show that, at the least, our earliest meticulously-proven ancestors knew William the Conquerer and his father Duke Robert of Normandy very well. They may have been cousins. However, the first Gilbert Crispin’s parents have not been identified. One seriously- academic hypothesis is that he might have been an illegitimate son of Gilbert Count of Brionne, who was a grandson of Duke Richard I known as “The Fearless”. We discuss the possibilities in depth in our chapter entitled “The Origins of the Crispin Family”. Our ancestors lived for about 150 years at Womersley, a village between Doncaster and Pontefract, from which the Wormley surname evolved. They are recorded at Hatfield Manor, near Doncaster, from around the beginning of the 14th century. Our direct line of descent is believed to be as follows: Quite probably – and we do have serious, sensible academic evidence for making this suggestion – the Wormleys may well be direct descendants, down a single, male line, of Rollo the Viking, the founder of Normandy at the beginning of the 10th century. If that contention is correct, then the Wormley family pedigree should begin as follows: 1. Rollo the Viking and his probable wife Poppa. Lived in the late 800s and early 900s AD. 2.Rollo’s son William “Longsword”, c.900 to 942, the second ruler of Normandy, and his wife Sprota. 3. William’s son Duke Richard I of Normandy, known as “Richard the Great Prince.” 4. A son or daughter of Duke Richard, possibly Geoffrey/Godfrey d’Eu or his brother William d’Eu, by an unidentified mistress. Geoffrey was assassinated in 1010 to 1015. 5. Perhaps and additional generation - a grandson or granddaughter of Duke Richard, such as Geoffrey’s son Count Gilbert de Brionne, or maybe one of his cousins. Gilbert was killed while personally defending the young Duke William (later to become William the Conquerer) in 1040. However, this list is a hypothesis and cannot be proved as certain historical fact. Therefore, we can only start the Wormley pedigree with full confidence with Gilbert Crispin I, who was very likely a great grandson of Duke Richard I. Whether he was or not, there is strong documentary and advanced DNA evidence that he was our earliest provable ancestor: Gilbert Crispin I (c.1000AD – 1045). Gilbert, supposedly nicknamed Crispin because he had spikey, brush-like hair, was an important member of the nobility of Normandy. Duke Robert I put him in charge of Tillieres Castle, to help defend the Norman border against invasion by the king of France 1,000 years ago. His wife’s name was Gunnor - she was almost certainly Gunnor d'Anet, a daughter of Osmund de Centeville. They had children named Gilbert, William, Robert, Emma, Hesilia and probably Ralph. Gilbert Crispin II. Gilbert Crispin’s eldest son, who with his brother William fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Gilbert was a commander in the Norman invasion force and jointly led a charge with Henry de Ferrers against King Harold’s Saxon army. It was written in a 12th century chronicle: “The earth trembled beneath them. All who did not flee before them were killed or captured.” Gilbert inherited Tillieres castle and returned to live there after the Conquest. He was married to Hersendé de Brezolles. Their children were Gilbert Crispin III, Ribault, Richard, Landry, William, Eleanor, Robert and Geoffrey d’Armentieres, and perhaps Raoul. Robert d’Armentières, who was a younger son of Gilbert Crispin II and came to England from Armentières-sur-Avre, near Verneuil, in Normandy. The Dives and Falaise versions of the Battle Abbey Roll claim that he fought at the Battle of Hastings with his father, but this is unlikely as he was probably still a child.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Goring (July 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Landownership • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Goring Landownership In the mid-to-late Anglo-Saxon period Goring may have been the centre of a sizeable royal estate, parts of which became attached to the burh of Wallingford (Berks.) following its creation in the late 9th century.1 By 1086 there were three estates in the parish, of which two can be identified as the later Goring and Gatehampton manors.2 Goring priory (founded before 1135) accrued a separate landholding which became known as Goring Priory manor, while the smaller manors of Applehanger and Elvendon developed in the 13th century from freeholds in Goring manor’s upland part, Applehanger being eventually absorbed into Elvendon. Other medieval freeholds included Haw and Querns farms and various monastic properties. In the 17th century Goring Priory and Elvendon manors were absorbed into a large Hardwick estate based in neighbouring Whitchurch, and in the early 18th Henry Allnutt (d. 1725) gave Goring manor as an endowment for his new Goring Heath almshouse. Gatehampton manor, having belonged to the mostly resident Whistler family for almost 200 years, became attached c.1850 to an estate focused on Basildon Park (Berks.), until the latter was dispersed in 1929−30 and Gatehampton manor itself was broken up in 1943. The Hardwick estate, which in 1909 included 1,505 a. in Goring,3 was broken up in 1912, and landownership has since remained fragmented. Significant but more short-lived holdings were amassed by John Nicholls from the 1780s, by the Gardiners of Whitchurch from 1819, and by Thomas Fraser c.1820, the first two accumulations including the rectory farm and tithes.

  • The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey
    THE HIDA TION OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE KEITH BAILEY In a pioneering paper Mr Bailey here subjects the Domesday data on the hidation of Buckinghamshire to a searching statistical analysis, using techniques never before applied to this county. His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus. It is Domesday Book,1 was right in saying that it almost, one might say, a Holy Grail, and sub• is in fact central to many of the great questions ject to many interpretations designed to fit this of early English history.

  • Monk Bretton Priory
    MONK BRETTON PRIORY Monk Bretton Priory, circa 1154 (12th century) was built by Adam Fitz Swain. It was built as a daughter house of St Johns Priory for Cluniac Monks, founded by IIbert de Laci close to his base at Pontefract Castle. Cluniacs at Monk Bretton Priory controlled agriculture and natural resources on many sites between Wakefield and Rotherham. After the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII, it became the home of the Armyne and Talbot families, descendants of the Earl of Shrewsbury. Monk Bretton Priory is currently owned by Barnsley MBC under the custody of English Heritage. School Visits The site is currently a free site open every date from 10.30 am to 3.00 pm. An earlier opening time may be possible by contacting the Friends of Monk Bretton Priory – details below. Monk Bretton Priory has a well preserved Gatehouse and Administrative building. The remaining site has low walls which easily identify other areas eg the 12th century Church, the 13th century Cloister, the late 13th century kitchen with the best remains of Cluniac drainage in Europe. Information Very clearly written information boards can be found throughout the site. Parking Immediately in front of the Gatehouse with space for several cars and coaches. Toilets There are no toilet facilities on site but a special arrangement has been made for school parties to use toilets just across the road at Priory Campus (open week days 8.00 am to 5.30 pm). These toilets are open to the public and students entering Priory Campus must be supervised at all times.

The location chosen for the priory lies on a high road north from Nottingham, often referred to in deeds as the uia regia, which connects with the Great North Road.3 Tolls were the main component of its revenues, and the so-called foundation charter in Roger de Busli’s name provides for both holding fairs and receiving tolls (Ctl.
