188 Leland’s Journey through Wiltshire. 
John Willoughby that cam out of Lincolnshire and maried an 
heire generale of the Lord Broke,! and after was Lord Brooke hym- 
self, lyith buried at Hedington, and was a benefactor to that house. 
As I remember, the son of this Lord Broke was Steward of King 
Peter de Bulkington and Michael de Bulkington are named in the Wiltshire 
Fines, 38 H. II. The manor afterwards belonged tothe religious house atKdington, 
of the gift probably of Thomas Bulkington, the benefactor mentioned by Leland. 
Obits at Edington to Penley, Rous, Gereberd, and Thomas Bukyngton are 
mentioned in the Valor Kecles. [Wilts, p. 142.] Edington Church still retains 
a memorial of Thomas Bulkington: for to him there can be little doubt that a 
monument really refers, which has often been attributed to an unauthorized 
and unknown Thomas Baynton. This monument which is highly finished, and 
clearly refers to some person of consequence connected with the convent, is at 
the end of the south transept, and bears the effigy of an Augustine Canon; his 
feet resting on a tun. On one shield are the letters T.B.: and on another the 
device of a tun with a tree growing out of it. The not dissimilar device of a 
bay tree growing out of a tun, appropriate to (and perhaps sometimes used by) 
the Wiltshire family of Baynton, has, for want of any better conjecture, caused 
this monument to be constantly assigned to some one of that name. But the 
monument is of a date long prior to any connexion which the Bayntons may 
have had with Edington. The name Bulkington is still commonly pronounced 
Bukington, or Bookington. As the word ‘‘ Boc”’ signifies a beech treee, 
Boc-in-tun, supported by the fact of a known ecclesiastical benefactor 
Thomas Bulkington, seems to establish his claim to the monument, in preference 
to that of an ¢maginary Thomas Baynton. 
1 Perhaps Leland means that John Willoughby married an heir general of 
the Lord of the Manor of Broke, Otherwise his statement is full of confusion. 
Sir John Willoughby ‘‘that came out of Lincolnshire” did not marry any heir 
general of any person who had borne the title of Lord Broke: (for it was his 
own son to whom that title was first granted) but a coheiress of Sir Edmund 
Cheney, of Brooke Hall. Neither was Sir John himself, as Leland says, after- 
wards Lord Broke himself; nor was his grandson the 3rd Lord Broke. Sir 
John’s son (as just stated), Robert, was the tirst Lord Willoughby de Broke, 
created A.D. 1492. Robert’s son, also Robert, was the second Lord Broke 
A.D. 1503. And there was no third Lord, at that time, of that title. For 
Edward Willoughby, son of Robert 2nd Lord by his first wife Elizabeth 
Beauchamp, died in his father’s life time, leaving two daughters, of whom one, 
Elizabeth, married Sir Fulke Greville, and the other, Blanche, married Sir 
Francis Dawtrey. Robert, the second Lord Broke, had by another wife 
Dorothy Grey, two sons who died childless, and two daughters, Elizabeth, 
married to John Paulet Marquis of Winchester, and Anne, married to Charles 
Blount Lord Mountjoy.
