Family and Education
s. and h. of Richard Ash. m. Alice,CP25(1)45/76/17; CPL, viii. 125-6. If a petition addressed to ‘the bishop of Winchester’ as chancellor may be assigned to Bishop Beaufort’s chancellorship of 1424-6, then Alice was the da. and h. of Thomas Withycombe, and brought Ash a claim to three messuages and some 400 acres of land at Withycombe Raleigh and elsewhere (C1/26/293). However, the petition may date from Bishop Waynflete’s chancellorship of 1456-60, in which case it more likely relates to the wife of Ash’s son John. 1s. John†.
