Geoffrey de Lucy: Research & Modelling

Geoffre de Lucy: Gules crusilly three pike hauriant or Geoffrey de Lucy of Newington (son of the fifth Geoffrey de Lucy and Nichole de Lucy) was born 1237, presumably in Newington, Surrey (subsumed in the greater metropolitan London). The older Geoffrey appears to have died by 1252 but I have no record of our Geoffrey’s wardship which he may have had sold off as he was only aged 15 at the time. He married Ellen de Raveningham of Dallington and Slapton (born 1241) some time before May 1257 with whom he fathered a son Geoffrey, born August 1267 in Chelmscot, Buckinghamshire.

Nevertheless, the chief estate for the Goldinghams was Chigwell, formerly of William Brito and believed to have come into their possession as tenancy in demesne (or ownership) some time after 1254. The manor of Grange, which gave its name to Grange Hill, was originally part of Chigwell Hall and altogether the estates must have comprised significant land holdings and income as William de Goldingham and Aline (his wife) confirmed to Robert, Abbot of Tilty, gifts to the abbey of 3 messuages (house and land) and 234½ acres of land in Chigwell in 1258. Having said that, he is generally judged a knight of average means. The Goldingham family lineage through open sourc...
