y6 The English Ancestry of Manors,— Wrabness Hall, which belonged to the Ayloffes, 1517-1612, and Denball's, which in 1544 was the property of Christopher Roydon,* and later of William Ayloffe, who sold or leased it to John Lucas, f The Parish Church, ded- icated to All Saints, is a very small, plain and ancient build- ing of rubble ; the tower became ruinous long since, and a low, square, wooden turret, containing a single bell, was built in the south-west corner of the Church-yard : the Church is now ivy-covered, and very picturesque, showing some traces of Norman work : it contains a quaint old octag- nal font of unknown age, but evidently of great antiquity. Unfortunately for our researches, the Parish Register does not begin until 1650, so that we have not been able to ascer- tain whether Edward 5 resided there before he went to Great Bentley. In 1897 the population was given as 264 ; the Rev. Anthony C. Fenn, B. A., was then in charge, with a living of ^203 and a parsonage. Reinold married Johan , who survived him and was made sole executrix of his Will ; this is dated 22 December, 1554, but the date of probate does not appear. If he was the "godson" named in the Will of Robert, he must have been living in 1557. He directs that his interment shall be in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, in Ramsey. The children of Reinold and Johan I arrange in the order named in his Will ; none of them were of age when their father made it ; possibly John, who was apparently a young * See page 12, supra. f See page n, supra.
