… Sir Alexander de Loundes of Cave, Yorkshire, is mentioned in an interesting deed dated 3 Henry V (1415), in which the King entered into an agreement with him to ensure his support, in person and with followers, on the expedition into France; Henry deposited the Crown jewels with Sir Alexander as security for the record of his services on this occasion. The family had received a grant of arms in 1180, the heraldic description being “Argent fretty azure, on a canton Gules a lion’s head erased or”. Very little documentary evidence exists to throw light on their progress during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, but it seems clear that the main branch became established at Overton in Cheshire during this time. Then, in 1612, the heralds of the College of Arms carried out a visitation of Cheshire, and recorded a five-generation pedigree of the Lowndes family.

In 1316, Sir Alexander de Cave is returned as joint Lord of South Cave, North Cliff and South Cliffe. For a fuller account of this family, the reader is referred to the separate chapter on the subject ; and here we need only trace the family so far as it is connected with the Manor of West Hall. Maud, the daughter and heiress of Sir Alexander Cave, married Sir Alexander Lound,, of Lound Hall and of South Cave, and the latter would doubtless have then become owner of the Manor.

• http://www.winslow-history.org.uk/winslow_winslow_hall.shtm Winslow Hall was built by William Lowndes in 1700 - the first time Winslow had had a "manor house". The Lowndes were a prominent family in Winslow from the late 16th century (possibly descended from a family from Overton, Cheshire; they first appear in Winslow in the 1570s, and a Geoffrey Lowndes was vicar of Swanbourne from 1565).

The notes below begin with William's grandfather William and father Robert. The Angel was at the corner of Sheep Street and the Market Square, opposite The Bell.
