Profile

One of the free men holding land in the tiny parish of Flowton, 4 miles north-west of Ipswich in the densely populated and intensively farmed claylands of High Suffolk, was a Wilgrip who cannot possibly be the same man as the Mercian Wilgrip on the other side of England. Wilgrip 8 owned just 40 acres and shared a ploughteam with a smaller landowner (Eadric) occupying only 10 acres.
