- From "The Wylley and Cramphorne Families" (citation details below):
The property in Sawbridgeworth, alternately named "Chandlers" and "Chaloners," appears earlier in a 1547 charter in the British Library in which a William Cramphorne made a grant of "Chaloners" to his son George. This same William Cramphorne left a Consistory Court of London will, dated 14 April 1550, proved 23 May 1550, in which he named wife Cycelie and sons Williams, George, Nicholas, and John. Additional insights into this family are found in a series of depositions regarding rights and title to land in the manor of Sawbridgeworth taken 8 January [31 Elizabeth] 1588/9. The defendant George Cramphorne was identified as the eldest son of George Cramphorne, deceased, who was, in turn, the eldest son of William Cramphorne, deceased. John Cramphorne of Harlowe in the county of Essex, husbandman, "of the age of 71 years or thereabouts," was named as the son of the same William Cramphorne. This William was described as a very old man of above 80 years of age [near 100 scored through] when the said lands were taken from him and also very deaf and "a very [sic] simple plaine honest man but in the lawe verie ignorant." Statements recorded 15 January of the same year present a different picture, recording that William Cramphorne, grandfather of the complainant George, "lost his lands for refusing to pay two year's rent for his fine of his copyhold lands [and was] called by the earl of Essex's men an ould sneking fellowe."
