Notes:

"WICHINGHAM's MANOR. In the 1st of king John, William de Bellamont, and Muriel his wife, conveyed by fine to Gilbert de Langtoft, the service of two knights fees, and the third part of one in this town, Saxlingharn, Bintry, Ickburgh, &c. and Sarah de Wychingham was found, in the 31ft of Henry III. to hold the fourth part of a fee here of Robert Langtoft, he of the earl of Gloucester, and the earl of the king: she was then the widow of Walter de Wychingham, descended of an ancient family, who had very soon after the conquest an interest here. William, son of Wycher de Wychingham, was living in the reign of king Stephen, and Roger de Wychingham was father of Walter aforesaid, whose son Walter was living in the 53d of Henry III. when Robert de Newton, sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, received 10s. 8d. of him to excuse him from being a knight; and the said Walter was lord, and kept a court in the 7th of Edward 1.

"Roger, son of Walter, was living in the said reign, and granted messuages, lands, &c. to Sarah, widow of Walter.

"Sir William de Wychingham, son of Richer de Wychingham, was lord in the 33d of Edward III. ..."[1]

It would appear that "Roger" is the same as "Richer": Sir William de Wychingham's father Richer is the same as "Roger, son of Walter."
