Bernard Jenyns

The Nomination of Alderman Sir W. Laxton, N. Spakeman, Richard Crymes (Haberdasher), T. Calton (Goldsmith) and Barnard Jenyns (Skinner) had been rejected by the Court, October 11. (Rep. 11, fo. 483 b).

Walter atte Vann was subsequently in debt. In 1412 John Loxley for 'le Fanne' and Thomas atte Vann pay 6d. for leave of absence from the hundred court. (fn. 187) In 1448 Bernard Jenyn or Jenings was summoned to the court (fn. 188) to do fealty, probably for Vann, for in 1476 John Hill and John Mellersh, probably trustees, enfeoffed Bernard Jenings of 'land in the manor of Vann' in tail male. John son of Bernard succeeded to it at his father's death, (fn. 189) and his son Nicholas is said to have settled the manor on his wife Margaret for life, with remainder to their son Bernard.
