Description

St Andrew's Church, Wickhampton, Norfolk, tomb and effigy of Sir William de Gerbygge/Gerbridge/Jerbridge (died circa 1270-80 per Nikolaus Pevsner, Bill Wilson, Norfolk 1: Norwich and North East). Text per Francis Blomefield, 'Walsham Hundred: Wickhampton', in An Essay Towards A Topographical History of the County of Norfolk: Volume 11 (London, 1810), pp. 135-137 [1]:

  • This lordship was granted (as in Acle, &c.) to the Bigots Earls of Norfolk, and was held of them by the ancient family of De Gerbridge, who took their name from the bridge at Yarmouth over the Yar or Ger, and Jer; and seems to have had an interest herein in the reign of King John. William de Jerbridge was living in the 24th of Henry III. and purchased 14s. rent in Yarmouth, of Isabel de Castre, by fine. William de Corton and Clementia his wife, as trustees, settled on Sir William de Gerberge of Wickhampton, and Joan his wife, 7 messuages, a mill, 2 carucates of land, — of meadow, 300 of marsh, with 50s. rent in this town, Tunstal, Halvergate, Mouton, &c. with the advowson of Wickhampton church, for their lives and in tail. In the 9th year of Edward II. Sir Edward Gerbridge was found in the 20th of Edward III. to hold the 3d part of a fee. Ralph Gerbridge and Alianore his wife, settled it on themselves and in tail, by fine, levied in the 40th of Edward III. In 1397, Edward Gerbrygge was lord, and presented to this church. This Edward left by Cecilia his wife, a daughter and sole heir Elizab. a minor; and King Richard II. on his death, seised on this lordship, and granted it to Thomas Grace, and John de Alderford; but on the application of Sir Thomas Erpingham, Sir John White, &c. who were trustees for it, it was recovered by them in the first year of King Henry IV. as appears by a pleading in Trinity term in the said year. John Bray and Elizabeth his wife, held it in the 13th of Henry VI. and then sold 200 acres of marsh in Castre, to Sir Thomas Fastolf. This Elizabeth was heir (as I take it) of Edward Gerbridge and Cecilia his wife beforementioned.
