Lamplugh or lamplough
Wow, there is so much information about the names and the place it is amazing I live just down the road and I can't believe the history, I've drove past the old manor house wall seen the crest carved into it and past the church loads of times but never realized its importance to the area
I am getting that much information I don't know where to start, if you could give me a pointer, and I will go have a look in the churchyard as well as get you a picture of the coat of arms carved into the manor house wall
