Font Notes:
Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "This town was also part of the manor of Stockton, and of Gillingham, and so not mentioned in the book of Domesday, and coming to the Crown at the conquest, so remained, till granted to Hugh Bigot Earl of Norfolk, by King Stephen [...] The church of Wyndale is dedicated to St. Andrew; was a rectory in the reign of Edward I.[i.e., 1272-1307] in the patronage of Roger Bigot Earl of Norfolk; and the rector had a manse with 10 acres [...] In the 17th of Charles I. this rectory with that of Winston, was held by Nicholas Bacon, Esq. of Simon Smith, Esq. as of his manor of Stockton, which he farmed of the Crown. Sir Edmund Bacon, patron in 1742, and of Gillingham." [NB: we have not been able to identify this locality]
