[These are the first entries of the Fanshaw family on 

 these rolls. John Fanshaw appears here as bailiff of the 

 manor of Holmesfield (then in the parish of Dronfield), 

 This ofifice was not one of much distinction, but such as 

 might be held by an intelligent farmer or copyholder. If 

 this is the John Fanshaw whose brass remains in Dronfield 

 Church, he married an Eyre, and may have obtained his 

 standing through this marriage. As he was about 74 at 

 his death, he would be born about 1504.]
