Hello Josephine Could I ask if there are references to PIKE or GRAYLE/GRAYELL in the book please? Thanks Mike   There's just one reference to LEWIS in the index of A History of  Malmesbury (1999) and that's for Joan LEWIS (nee LANGTON), who was the  sister of John LANGTON. This reference is in connection with John's will  dated 1660.

Hi Mike, There's no reference to PIKE, but there are three references to GRAYLE in A History of Malmesbury (1999) by Jane Freeman and Aelred Watkin with contributions by H.F. Chettle, Elizabeth Crittall and D.A. Crowley. On page 39, Henry GRAYLE is mentioned in connection with Adam ARCHARD and Thomas HALL selling the lands of Burton Hill manor to him in 1577. There's a reference on this page to Henry GRAYLE and his son David buying Cowbridge Mill and other lands from Nicholas ARCHARD in 1612. On page 95, there's a reference to Henry GRAYLE in 1654 giving a rent charge of £10 per year from lands in Great Somerford so that poor children of Malmesbury could be apprenticed.
