The rest, that had arms, we take to be laid over the Shimplings, and the Shardelowes.” “John Aldham … he died in 1558 and was buried in this chancel, leaving his part to John, his son, who held it jointly with Bonaventure Shardelow in 1571; Mr. Aldham had a fourth part of the manor, and a third turn, and Mr. Shardelowe three parts and two turns. ….
