For anyone researching anywhere near Bretforton, Worcs, you need to hpget a copy of Rev Shawcross’ 1910 work, now out of print. It transcribes all the Bretforton parish registers and has extensive details of all wills for the Bretforton families, which include Ashwin, Morris, Harwood and Hewens. He also includes references to the families outside Bretforton which he had found.

There are also extensive trees going back well before 1538.
