Notes par John Lydiard

[Richard Hodgson]

We can trace three of the St. Johns as lords of Glympton.  Nicholas de St. John was in possession in 1316, and continued till 1347...
He [who - John?] is described as' Farmer' of Glympton, and there are Rolls of the date of 1371 and 1372 of courts held by him.
The heir of John de St. John was Thomas; early in 1376 he was attesting deeds and shortly after was holding the Manor court.  He died in 1432 leaving a grand-daughter Clemencia married to John Lydiard, who thus became the lord of the manor.  The arms of the St. Johns were still to be seen on the gate-house leading into the Manor when Rawlinson made his inspection in the year 1720-30.  The Lydiards held the Manor from 1432 to 1547.  Their name was variously spelt Lydeard, Lydearte, Lydeyard.
John Lydiard, who married the heiress of the St. Johns, was lord as late as 1454.
Thomas Lydiard was in possession in 1460.  He died in..."

In the autumn of 1432 a man named John Lydeyard was involved in a lawsuit with a certain Thomas Seyntcler.  Lydeyard was claiming by right of Clemence his wife certain Oxfordshire manors (Barton St. John and Staunton St. John) once held by her forebear Roger St. John, who had died without issue.  The tenant, Thomas Seyntcler, on the other hand, claimed that Roger's manors had been left to a certain Peter St. John, and thence to his own family, citing a Chancery document, a postmortem inquisition of 1353 after the death of Roger, that stated that Peter St. John was "a cousin and the nearest heir of the aforesaid Roger being more than forty years of age."
John Lydeyard bribed an Exchequer clerk called William Broket to make the document look like a forgery.  He was discovered.
