Lanfear Family
- Chaddleworth
My wife and myself visited Chaddleworth this summer during the course of researching her family
(Lanfear). This family originated in Wiltshire and spread into the surrounding counties (and much further). The churchyard at Chaddleworth contains the tombs of some of the first Lanfears to come into Berkshire from Wiltshire. Most notable being Ambrose Lanfear (b.1717) married to Martha Brown in 1746. There are also other family members buried in the churchyard including Thomas Lanfear who married Lucretia Burbidge in 1809 . They lived in Hungerford, but were buried in Chaddleworth. Some later infant deaths in the family were buried with their great-grandparents, Ambrose and Martha. Later family members were buried in nearby Avington, includingWalter Francis Lanfear (b.1818) who was the Vicar at Avington for many years.
