About the de Dalyngrigge surname

origin

From Stirnet's "Temp57" page (link below): "(1) The following family is thought to have taken its name from Dalling Ridge near East Grinstead, Sussex, though the tripod web site (identified below <on "Temp57"> as the Main Source for this section) implies that the name may have derived from Langridge (either another name for the same place or in the same area)."


From an unidentified source: "The first records of the Dalyngrigge family in the English National Archives are the brothers John and William Dalyngrigge, who were foresters of the King's Ashdown Forest during the time of Kings Edward I and Edward II (later to be known as Lancaster Great Park).It It is situated some 30 miles (48 km) south of London in the county of East Sussex, England.

"The family continued as hereditary foresters of Ashdown Forest for several generations. Their name seems indigenous to the county of Sussex, and was derived from the manor of Dalingridge in the parish of West Hothly. (Sussex Archeological collections) . Another source states the family originated nearby from the area of Dalling Ridge near East Grinstead which abuts the Forest.

"Ashdown Forest's origins lie as a medieval hunting forest created soon after the Norman conquest of England. By 1283 the forest was fenced in by a 23 miles (37 km) pale enclosing an area that allowed local people to enter to graze their livestock, collect firewood and cut heather and bracken for animal bedding. The forest continued to be used by the monarchy and nobility for hunting into Tudor times, including notably Henry VIII, who had a hunting lodge at Bolebroke Castle, Hartfield and who courted Anne Boleyn at nearby Hever Castle. Bolebroke Castle came into the Dalyngrigge family when John Dalygruge (living 13 Edward II) married Joane, daughter and coheir of Sir Walter de la Lynde of Bolebroke. (Pedigree Burrell manuscripts (5711).

"This lineage may be junior to a more senior lineage mentioned in the Cotton MSS (Vesp. F.xv, fol. 53) wherein is a charter, in French, of Walter Dalingrigge, Esq., relative to a dispute in Westehetheleghe (West Hothly) settled by the arbitration of John Conyers, and Robert Tyrwhitt, who were chosen by the Earl of Arundel for that purpose. This instrument was dated in the Chapterhouse of Lewes 20th Feb. 17 Richard III, 1394. There is a memorial brass for a Walter Dalygruge in a church in the parish of Fletching, Sussex. The connection between the two families was established via their common landholdings of descendant Richard Dalyngrigge of Sheffield, Bolbroke and Dalynrigge (the original seat)."

notes

From Stirnet's "Temp57" page (link below): "(2) Despite the very impressive efforts of the tripod site, there is some uncertainty on exactly how various of its members were related to each other because there is some contradiction between and within the sources as to who was son of whom, etc.."
