Thomas atte Fenne

transcription from "Norwich, Norfolk Record Society, Edited By Roger Virgoe, ISBN: 0951160060, Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah FHL Book 942.61 B4rs" (following from a fuller transcription posted by John Newport):[5] Or

Hugh atte Fenne so styled himself in his will and the family normally used that form of the name, but he was quite frequently called simply 'Fenne' .... The Fennes were a quite prolific Yarmouth and East Norfolk family, with, as was normal in the fifteenth century, a restricted number of Christian names and Hugh is not, therefore, easy to place precisely in the family pedigree:

it seems probable, however, that he was the Hugh, son of Thomas atte Fenne, who was appointed her executor by his grandmother, Christian Savage, in 1442. Christian's first husband had been Hugh atte Fenne, many times bailiff and three times parliamentary burgess of Great Yarmouth, who in his will, made in 1409, appointed as one of his executors Edmund Wyth, thus providing a link between the two wills printed in this volume. Hugh refers in the will to three sons, Thomas, Hugh and Miles. Miles disappears without trace and Hugh may have been the London fishmonger who made his will (with references to Yarmouth and to his mother, Christian, in 1420, but Thomas atte Fenne was a man of importance in Yarmouth, serving as troner and peser there from 1427 and as bailiff of the town in 1432 and 1440. Either he or a son and namesake was bailiff again in 1447, 1453 and 1457 and collector of customs there between 1451 and 1460. The will of Christian, who had remarried Peter Savage, refers to Hugh as the son of Thomas, and the identity of this Hugh with the exchequer official and the testator of 1476 is confirmed by the grant made by Thomas in 1438 of lands in Herringby and elsewhere, formerly of his father, Hugh, to Sir John Fastolf and others: these lands came to Hugh Fenne after Fastolf's death and formed part of the endowment of his alms-house. ...

Henry Fane

Marlyn Lewis's database,[2] shows Hugh's parents as Henry Fane and Isabell Pershall (citing "Brent Ruesch's Research Notes" in his entries for Henry and Isabell). Lewis shows Isabell as daughter of Richard Pershall, son of Sir Humphrey and Maud (Swynnerton) Peshale. Richardson's Royal Ancestry (#RA) shows that their son Richard Peshale, Esq., Sheriff of Staffordshire, had a son named Humphrey, Esq. - no mention of a daughter.
