Death of Mr T Byrd, Aldington
We regret to record the death of Mr Thomas Byrd of Aldington, a Justice of the Peace for the County of Worcester, which occurred at Aldington on Thursday morning. Mr Byrd who would have completed his 83rd year next month, has of recent years been compelled to give up a good deal of the public work which he performed and has not been so frequently in Evesham. He has not suffered any prolonged illness however and was out and about at his home on the day of his death.

Samuel Taylor had been born in Oakthorpe, Derbyshire. He had been baptised in Measham, Derbyshire on 5th January 1798 and was the son of Thomas (1759 - 1841) and Mary Taylor (ca 1759 - 1823) and his paternal grandmother was Sarah Taylor (ca 1735 - 1821). His parents and grandmother are buried in Wickhamford Churchyard, so must have migrated to Worcestershire at some point before 1821.
WHORWOOD, Field (c1592-1658) – Wickhamford Manor tenant
The following information is accredited by the Evesham historian, E.A.B. Barnard, to Sir Thomas Phillipps of Middle Hill, Broadway. Barnard says Phillipps was always very exact, but that the documents “are no longer available” (writing in 1935). The Manor of Wickhamford was leased to Field Whorwood by Samuel Sandys, his wife Mary and mother Penelope, on 15th February 1637, for 40 years.
