• Anecdote: History of Nyton Farm and Worth
  Land called Worth (Werda, Wurda) was given by William de St. John and others to Boxgrove Priory, (fn. 79) where its revenues were assigned to the kitchen. (fn. 80) It is later always found associated with Nyton, (fn. 81) which the priory farmed at 66s. 8d. in 1535. (fn. 82) After the suppression of the priory Robert Thornhill, a landspeculator, acquired on 16 August 1546 the farm of Nyton and two fields of 'lez Worthe' in Aldingbourne, (fn. 83) which he alienated next day to John More and Elizabeth his wife. (fn. 84) John More died in 1559 leaving this property, defined as a messuage, 50 acres of land, and 6 acres of heath, to his son Nicholas, (fn. 85) who shortly afterwards alienated to John Trunnell. (fn. 86) He died in 1584 and his son John in 1595, (fn. 87) when it passed to the latter's nephew Richard, who was holding Nyton and Worthe when he died in 1610. (fn. 88) His son Richard Trunnell still held them in 1650, (fn. 89) but by about 1680 Nyton had passed into the hands of Thomas Peckham, in whose family it descended. Mary, daughter of John Peckham who died in 1782, married Charles Hewitt Smith, and their son Charles took the name and arms of Peckham. His son the Rev. Harry John Peckham sold the estate in 1880. (fn. 90.)¹

  Residence : Earnley (7). Age : 35 Birthplace : Yapton
  Past residences : S.Stoke (10)
  WSRO Reference : 5/58.
• Anecdote: The 1598 will of Richard's brother, Robert Trunnell, states that Richard committed to Robert the upbringing of his son Richard until he came of age at 21 years. Could this have been because Richard's wife had died, or was it a kind of apprenticeship?
• Anecdote: Robert Trunnell's will also suggests that he is holding some land used to provide an income for Richard's daughter Emma and that she is in the keeping of a Thomas Hore. However, Emma is not mentioned in Richard's will proved in 1610 - only children Richard, Samuel and Mary are mentioned.
• (Witness) Will: Richard Trunnell is mentioned in the will of Robert Trunnell dated 12 October 1598 at Bosham, Sussex, England.^3,4
• Marriage*: Richard Trunnell married Elizabeth Thurgood, daughter of Nicholas Thurgood, on 24 January 1603 at Manuden, Essex, England, Richard TRINNYLL and Elizabeth THURGOOD.⁵
• Anecdote: The grant of 27 Jun 1604 states that Richard is "cousin and heir of John Trunnell, gent., dec'd". The use of the word cousin is confusing and incorrect, as he is in fact a brother as confirmed in John Trunnell's own will proved 24 Feb 1592/93. After the death of John Trunnell, who had no surviving issue, Richard was the eldest surving brother (Walter died 1580 with no children) and so was John's heir.
