  • Notes 
    • Peter Winder therefore inherited the Hall and the registers show his wife Dorothie buried in 1623, without producing an heir. In 1626 at latest, Peter remarried a lady with initial A who bore six children including the heir, John, in 1626. The initial A is attested by an inscribed fireplace in the hall 'PW 1630 AW' . A could be Anne, since this is the only A used for a grandchild's name (out of seven girls), and we know of a prominent Anne Winder in 1699. Peter Winder died in 1651, leaving a brief and simple will. [1]
