Talk:Benedict Barnham

Moved from the articel
"Benedict's elaborate and pious will is still to be read in Somerset House. He left his money, plate and jewels to his wife and four daughters, so they had no lack of this world's goods. One paragraph in the will says: "Item: I give to my daughter, Alice Barneham [sic], my lease of certain lands at Moulsham and Chelmsford in the County of Essex. And if it happen that the same Alice doe die and unmarried then I give the same lease to Elizabeth my eldest daughter, etc.""

"Alderman Benedict Barnham died in 1598 and was buried at St Clement Eastcheap. He owned a house called Westbourne and 70 acre in Paddington, Kensington, and Chelsea detached, held of the Crown by 1/40 knight's fee, and a further 66 acre there, of unknown tenure, including 40 acre occupied by William Lisle."

I have moved these two paragraphs from article space, because they are details of what is already said, but they are not directly sourced. If a source can be provided then they would probably make food footnotes or parts of them footnotes for heat is already there. -- PBS (talk) 12:54, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
