• Notes

  Farleigh Hungerford Castle about eight miles north of Frome was speaker of the House of Commons in 1377, a position which he owed to his friend John of Gaunt, and is the first person formally mentioned in the rolls of parliament as holding the office.   In 1369 AD Sir Thomas de Hungerford bought the Farleigh Montfort house from the childless daughter of one of Edward III's soldiers, and the house later came to be known as Farleigh Hungerford Castle.
