Notes

From 'The History of the Family of Drury In the Counties of Suffolk and Norfolk From the Conquest' by Arthur Campling, London, 1937.

"in 1234 he was party to a fine as to his mother's dower in Livermere; and his charter in the Bodleian Library, which must have been passed 1238-1242, concerns his land in Fornham."

"Thomas de Haya, who died 1245, was found to hold 94 acres in Livermere of Robert; and Robert de Livermere was found in 1259 to hold a knight's fee there of Hugh de Vere, earl of Oxford; and his son held of the succeeding earl in 1286 400 acres and a windmill there"

"In the Cellarer's accounts of St. Edmund's Abbey concerning lands in the fields outside the west gate of Bury it is recorded that Robert de Lyvermere paid rent for land next Horscrofte of the fee of Drieu, and for a meadow called Holkewell."

Calendar of charters and rolls preserved in the Bodleian library.

"Robert de Livermere, son of Humphrey of St. Edmund, grants to the  church of St. Edmund and the monks there, in frankalmoigne, all the  tenements, with messuages &c., which Nicholas, son of Walter his uncle,  held in the village of Fornham with 2 s. annual rent. (c. 1210-20.) "

Chronicles of Theberton, a Suffolk village ..

"In 1289, one John de Livermere and his wife Matilda desired to grant a messuage and thirty acres of land in Theberton to Nicholas the Abbot and the Canons of Leystone, and for this they had to obtain, and did in fact obtain, a licence from the King.
Again, in 1312, we find that the same John and Matilda, having, together with other persons, conveyed some lands to the Abbey without the King's licence, the royal pardon had to be sued for, and was, probably for weighty reasons, granted."
