Family notes:
·
Thomas was obviously weathy. From (S) Guide to
Bewley Court, Slocombe, 1987: “Towards the end of the (14th) century the farm
was bought by Thomas Calston. The Calstons were a country family, more
important than the Collards. For over a century they had been lords of the
manor of Littlecote, as well as holding the estate in Calstone near Calne from which
they took their name. Thomas could trace his descent from Henry II and Fair
Rosamond.”
