  About Sir William Witchingham (Wychingham)
  Sir William de Wychingham, son of Richard de Wichingham, was lord in the 33d of Edward III.; he was bred to the law, of which he was a serjeant, and a judge of the Common-pleas in 1363; by his will proved March 25, 1381, he was buried in the south isle of Wichingham St. Mary's church, which he had built; gives legacies to Margaret his wife, (fn. 6) to Richer, Nicholas, and William, his sons, and to William [Clere] and Dionysia his wife, who was his daughter.
  
  That his wife's name was Margaret is certain; that she was Lady Margaret de Brewse is not. It is rather more likely that she was the daughter of one Roger or William de Rising or Woodrising, of merely local importance.
  
  St. Mary's church includes (or included) many armorial bearings and impalements, but that of de Brewse is not to be found. If his wife were a de Brewse, surely her family's blazon would have been prominently featured?
  
  [I]n the 18th of Edward III. John de Enepol and Joan his wife, Henry Broom of Reedham and Maud his wife, Thomas Pykel and Joan his wife, sold their right in this lordship, with lands, &c. to Wichingham St. Mary, and St. Faith's, to Will. de Witchingham, quit of the heirs of John, Maud, Joan, and Alice. http://apling.freeservers.com/Villages/WoodrisingBlomfield.htm
