ATTFIELD, Henry, of Winglisham [sic.], co. Surrey, & Ann Lun, of the same, 8 Sep 1716. Thomas Lun, of Farnborough, so Surrey, bondsman.
Hampshire MLA, Bishop of Winchester, 1689-1837
Who were this Henry Attfield's parents? Possibly Henry Attfield (or Field) and his wife Martha. Henry was buried at Windlesham on 1 Dec 1718, and Martha on 1 Jun 1722.
Henry's will, dated 3 Jun 1717 and proved on 26 Feb 1718/19, provides (in summary) as follows: All to my executors. Henry Field and John Field being a house, land and all my goods; to my youngest son Edmund Field £10 in 3 years; to my daughter Elizabeth Bagance £10 in 3 years; to my daughter Ann Field £5 in 3 years; to my granddaughter Elizabeth Bagance £5 at 21 "and to pay for her education so she can read the Bible".
The youngest son, Edmund, was baptised at Windlesham on 9 Feb 1681/82, so the elder son Henry must have been born several years earlier, presumably before 1677 when the surviving Windlesham parish registers start. Edmund's descendants settled in Berkshire, and later around Blackheath in Kent.
The evidence for this line is scant, but the re-use of the names Martha and Edmund is suggestive, as is the re-use - through three generations - of the names Henry and John for the two eldest sons.
