John Winchcombe
Hi Tipping Down, I am a bit confused with the entries on John Winchcombe as to dates and aliases. I edited it so that each entry reflects the information in the attached article, but I wonder if there might not be some mix up between the Jack O'Newbury and John Winchcombe (died 1557) articles. Their dates are identical and both from the Newbury region. If I have made things worse on John Winchcombe, feel free to change/revert. Leschnei (talk) 15:40, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Leschnei. The traditional story of Jack O'Newbury is a combo of the lives of the earlier John Winchcombe and the later one. The name was traditionally applied to the earlier one. However, a local expert is now pushing for the later one to be recognised as the 'real' Jack O'Newbury. When I've got some time I'll dig out the references and sort it out.
