As mentioned in the introduction, the focus will be on the personal stories of three main characters:

Thomas Baynham of Clearwell (1422-1500) my eleven times great-grandfather, head of the family living in The Forest of Dean at the end of the Middle Ages who had two heirs – Sir Christopher Baynham of Clearwell (1478-1540), my ten times great-grandfather, and his half-brother Sir Alexander Baynham of Westbury (1459-1524).

Jeremiah Baynham (1829-1900) my great-great-grandfather, the person who moved with his young family from The Forest to the industrial Midlands in 1854.

Marshall William Baynham (1897-1963) my grandfather, who fought in World War I and took part in the Somme Offensive.

These three are featured but many others, including siblings, wives and children, have ‘people’ pages of their own which are hyper-linked throughout this site; plus there are some interesting characters on the periphery, such as James Bainham (1499-1532) (Sir Alexander Baynham’s youngest son) the Protestant martyr who was burned at the stake by Sir Thomas More in 1532 and Sir Edmund Baynham (1577-c.1642), captain of  the notorious Damned Crew who became involved in The Gunpowder Plot in 1605.

Below is an index of people mentioned on this site.
