John Barber alias Nynne

John Barber, churchwarden at Rotherfield, 1532.

• Birth*: John Barber alias Nynne was born circa 1500 at England; possibly in Kent.
• Marriage*: John Barber alias Nynne married Joan (?) circa 1525 at England.
• Anecdote: Rotherfield means “the open country where the horned cattle feed”, the anglo-saxon word “hrither” evolving into the Middle English word “rother” meaning horned cattle. It was originally one of just a few clearings formed in the dense Sussex weald (forest).
  The written history of Rotherfield begins in AD790 when the Saxon “duke”, Berhtwald, gifts his estate called “Ridrefeld” to the Abbey of St Denys’ in Paris, France. At that time, Sussex formed part of the kingdom of Wessex and had been held by the South Saxons since AD491 when they overran the southern coast of Sussex. The church and lands were taken back from the Abbey soon after the Norman Conquest in 1066, but the church retained its dedication to St Denys, a patron saint of France, and is still known today as Rotherfield St Denys. The present sandstone building is said to date from about 1060.¹
• Anecdote: In front of the church today is an ancient yew tree reputed to be 1500 years old which would have been a landmark in the village even in the 1500’s. The planting of Yew trees near places of worship is thought to go back to the time of the Druids, pre-dating Christianity.
  
• Anecdote*: John and Joan Nynne alias Barber are our earliest known ancestors. The first evidence of them occurs in 1530 in the court books of the manor of Rotherfield when they acquired a cottage from Thomas Morley.²
• Anecdote: On 11 May 1530 Thomas Morley and his wife Rose surrendered the cottage known as Bonnett's to John Nynde and Joan his wife (On 11 May 1530, Copy Surrender of Tho. Morley & Rose his wife to use of Joh Nynde & Joan his wf. Cott with ?kitchen (coquina), & gdn, in Retherfield also small pcl land of 1/2 acre, & garden belonging, late Alice Downe's"). in 1627 the property was described as “A messuage and garden at Retherfield Hill, of 1 rod, and a barn called Bonnetts, with a Way from said messuage to the barn; Also a parcel of meadow of 1/2 acre, and a kitchen (coquinan) once of Alice Adowne, & a garden once of Adam Farmer”. Transfers of property held by copyhold tenure were known as "surrenders and admissions" and the word "copy" refers to the "title" to the property which was simply a copy of the entry in the manorial court book recording the transfer of ownership.
• Anecdote: The cottage acquired is Bonnetts cottage, as prior to this in 1516, Thomas Morley acquired Bonnetts and a small parcel of land from the widow Alice A'Downe: " 27 Sep 1516 Copy Surrender of Alice A Downe, wd to use of Tho Morley. Small pcl land (?belonging to) a cottage called Bonnetts on Retherfield Hill". This property was kept in the Barber family until 1677 when it is eventually surrendered (to the manor) and acquired by Edmund Latter, possibly a step son of Thomas or the son of his brother-in-law, John Latter. Regarding the history of this property, the court rolls for the manor of Rotherfield in 1456 has the entry: "The homag present that the tenement of Simon Bonnet viz the plastered hall & grange, are ruiness. Therefore he has a day before Easter next under pain of 13/4 [13s/4d fine?] 34HVI [1456]". It gives some description of the house, if indeed this was "Bonnets". Note that a grange, in this context, probably refers to a barn or granary, as this is the old meaning of the word. Two years earlier, in 1454, Simon Bonnet was also mentioned again in the court rolls for the same problem: "The Homag present that the buildings of John Astyn are in decay in everything. And the house of Simon Bonnet. And the houses of John at Fryth, John Hunt & Thos A'Downe".^3,4
• Anecdote: In 1627 these properties are described as "Messuage & garden at Retherfield Hill, of 1 rod, & a barn called Bonnetts, with a Way from said messuage to the barn; Also a garden of 1 rod called Bacheland next to said barn; Also a parcel meadow of 1/2 ac, a Kitchen (coquinam) once of Alice Adowne, & a garden once of Adam Farmer". It appears that an adjacent garden called Bachelands has been added to the property, and it is possible that there may have been an association between between Bachelands and John Bache/Bathe, rector of Rotherfield 1406 to 1430.^5,6
• Anecdote: The rather unique and detailed description of the property (with the “Way”, ½ acre meadow, garden of 1 rod, etc.), its location on Rotherfield Hil (now Church Road or the B2100) and the fact that this description remained unchanged in the manorial records at least until 1854, allows the location of the property to be identified on the 1842 tithe map. We see that the property would have been at the location of the current Town Hill House, a Grade II listed property dating from the 18th century which is just across the road from the church. It appears that the cottage has not survived, unless it has been incorporated in the newer house.
  
• Anecdote: The previous owner of Bonnetts cottage, Thomas Morley, was also the owner of a property called Drapers. It is documented in the 1509 yearly rents of Rotherfield Church:" Thomas Morley for Drapers on Mich. ijd" - Mich. meaning Michaelmas (29th September) when the payment ijd (2 pence) was due. Drapers also eventually came into the Nynne alias Barber family sometime before 1580 as Catherine Pullein's notes mentions an undated Quit Rental record which she says she has shown to be dated before Feb 1580: "John Nynn. For 12 acres of freland called Drapers lying between scottyll croch and fathermans. For 101/2 acres (ditto)" . John's grandson "Georg Barbar" is recorded as the owner on the 1597 map of Rotherfield manor. It may be that there was a family connection to Thomas Morley given that the transfer of Drapers would be the second property to come from him, and that many properties tended to stay within a family for generations. The eventual disposal of Bonnetts and Bachelands in 1677 was to a family relative, Edmund Latter.^7,8,9,10
• Anecdote*: On 11 June 1531, John Barber was a made a churchwarden of Rotherfield St Denys. He was also a churchwarden again in 1532 but this time his name is written as John Nynde (Catherine Pullein's book incorrectly transcribes his name as John Wynde). In 1532, the wardens of Rotherfield Church, John Barber and John Filknisch, were responsible for "pewes and setys made in the church on the xix may". This entry in the accounts book, on 19 May 1532, records John's name as John Barber.^11,12
  
• Anecdote: This was the introduction of pews into the church for the first time as prior to this most parishioners sat and knelt on a rush strewn floor with possibly some stone benches affixed to the walls for the weak, from which originates the saying “to send the weak to the wall”. The account also notes that the timber for the pews and setys came from Framfield, and that a person named Weston was paid 10d for its carriage. A second entry is made in the accounts book on 23 June 1532 where John is recorded as John Nynd (Catharine Pullein's book, and the Sussex Archaeological Collections Vol XLI, incorrectly transcribed his name as John Wynde). In this entry, the new churchwardens for the next year are named as John Hayward and William Hosmer and it states that they commenced their position as churchwardens on the feast of St Richard 1532. This day was obviously of significance to the parish and the reader may be interested to know that St Richard was a 13th Century Bishop of Chichester and is the patron saint of Sussex. His saint's day of 16 June is now celebrated as Sussex Day. In the 1530's his shrine at Chichester Cathedral had become almost as popular as that of Thomas Beckett at Canterbury Cathedral, and was ordered to be destroyed in 1538 by King Henry VIII. Rumours exist that his relics and bones were moved to the church of St Peter and St Paul, West Wittering where "The Lady Chapel not only contains the Saxon Cross but also an ancient broken marble slab engraved with a Bishop's pastoral staff and a Greek cross believed to have come from a reliquary containing the relics of St. Richard of Chichester". He is remembered for the following lines included in a prayer said to have been made by him on his deathbed: "May I know you more clearly; Love you more dearly; And follow you more nearly". These were incorporated into the popular song "Day by Day" in the 1970's musical Godspell.^13,14,15
• Death*: John Barber alias Nynne died in 1548 at Rotherfield, Sussex, England^B.
• Burial*: John Barber alias Nynne was buried on 25 January 1548 at St Denys, Rotherfield, Sussex, England^B.¹⁶
• Anecdote: His burial entry reads "25 Jan 1548 John Nynde, Sexton" indicating that John, as sexton, was responsible for the care and maintenance of the church property and possibly also the ringing of bells and digging graves. Given that he was a churchwarden when the pews were first installed in the church and sexton when he died, he probably had gained a lot of knowledge about the church buildings over his lifetime. The location of Bonnetts cottage on Rotherfield Hill (now Church Rd) also shows that he also lived close to the church.
• Anecdote: At present it is not known where John and Joan were born or married, and if their families lived in Rotherfield or elsewhere. The burial of a Robert Nynder on 1 Nov 1548 in Rotherfield may therefore be significant. There is no information to place him in any family, but he could be a son of John and Joan or a brother of either. This is potentially significant because the Earls of Abergavenny (Neville family) were lords of Rotherfield manor for several hundred years, living at Eridge in Rotherfield parish. In 1542 Thomas Neville, brother of the then Earl, died at Mereworth castle, Kent, just NE of Hildenborough and his will leaves bequests to his servants among who is a Robert Nyn who also acted as executor (Medieval & Tudor Kent P.C.C. Wills Transcriptions by L. L. Duncan - Book 15 page 551). Robert Nynne also appears in the will of John Godden of nearby Ryarsh in 1546. It appears that Robert was a yeoman of Maidstone in 1537 and also appeared in the records in 1531. It is possible that John and Joan were linked to the family of this Robert Nynne.
• Anecdote: John became churchwarden at a very interesting time in church history. In 1531 the Anglican Church was formed when the clergy of England recognized Henry VIII as the head of the church, replacing the Pope. Initially, the English church didn't really change. It was still for all practical purposes a Catholic Church; the only real difference that anybody would notice was the use of English Bibles introduced in 1539. However, it changed radically under Henry's successor, Edward VI (ruled 1547-1553) who was Henry's third child, born by his third wife, Jane Seymour. Edward was only a teenager when he became king, but he thoroughly sympathized with the Protestant cause. Edward and Thomas Cranmer set about turning the Church of England into a Protestant church. He allowed the clergy to marry, and, in 1549, imposed Thomas Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer on all church services. He also ordered all images and altars to be removed from churches. Edward, however, died only six years into his reign. As John Barber died in 1548 he would have missed these more significant reforms, but his wife Joan (buried in Rotherfield 1577) and their children would have experienced it all including the reign of “Bloody Queen Mary” which resulted in three people from Rotherfield being burnt at the stake for heresy.
  Mary succeeded Edward VI in 1553 and reigned until 1558. She was Henry VIII's first child by Catherine of Aragon and had been raised a devout Catholic in France. When she assumed the throne of England, she declared England to be a Catholic country and assertively went about converting churches back to Catholic practices. Images and altars were returned, the Book of Common Prayer was removed, and clerical celibacy was re-imposed. She punished opposition severely and because of the sheer number of executions of Protestants the English people eventually called her "Bloody Mary". Had she lived longer, England would probably have reverted to Catholicism for another century or so.¹⁷
• Anecdote*: In 1992 a pageant was staged in Rotherfield to celebrate 1200 years of church and village history. There were many characters in the pageant that were based on real people and those chosen for the 1550s included "Widow Nynne". The writer of the pageant, Jean McConnell, obviously knew her local history as the other characters for the 1550s are Ann Ashdown who was burnt at the stake for heresy in 1557 and Joan Hosmer who was the mother of Alexander Hosmer who was also burnt at the stake with Ann. Widow Nynne was probably included because the family is mentioned a number of times in the church records (there is the Joan Nynne burial in 1577 and Widow Nynne burials in 1595 and 1638). The character Widow Nynne was played by actor Alison Organ who also designed the costumes.
