substantial yeoman of superior position, as is proved by the large amount he left for masses, and the fact that his will directs he be buried in the chor of the church. The yoemanry were almost always buried in the churchyard, only the very wealthiest of that class and the clergy and gentry securing sepulture within the church itself; and, of the burials in the church, interment in the chior or chancel was of special distinction. [Ref: CrosbyED CROSBY p5]
