Dear all I wondered if anyone could shed any light on this. The MASCALL family lived in Plumpton, at Plumpton Place, in the 16th century and probably later. There is a famous MASCALL - Leonard, who apparently introduced the Cox's Pippen apple and wrote books on agriculture, etc in the 16th century - books on Sussex that I have seen say he was a Plumpton MASCALL, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography says he was not. Does anyone know anything about this? I have a connection with the MASCALL family in Plumpton that far back and would be interested in knowing more. Know that I could follow family histories further, but just wondered whether anyone had already done this or knew something. Many thanks and best wishes Sally

An interesting man, who published 12 different designs for mouse traps! He should have been a millionaire, if they'd worked. Just to say there are a lot of Mascalls in the Suusex marriage CD but no Leonards.

I would be interested in this too as I have MASCALL family lines in Sussex.
