Dymoke of Scrivelsby, Champion of England.
The name is supposed to be derived from Dimmok, in the county of Gloucester, but the pedigree is not proved beyond Henry Dymmok in the second year of Edward III. His grandson John married Margaret, sole grand-daughter and heir of Sir Thomas de Ludlowe, by Joan youngest daughter and coheir of Philip last Lord Marmyon, Baron of Scrivelsby, and by the tenure of that manor hereditary Champion of England, which office, since the Coronation of Richard II. has been held by the Dymoke family.
See Banks's Family of Marmyon, p. 117; and Allen's Lincolnshire, ii. 83.
Arms.—Sable, two lions passant argent crowned or. Borne by Monsr. John Dymoke in the reign of Richard II. (Roll of the date.)
Present Representative, The Honourable and Rev. John Dymoke.
Heneage of Hainton.
John Heneage stands at the head of the pedigree; he was living in the 38th Henry III. From him descended another John, who in the 10th of Edward III. was Lord of the Manor of Hainton; according to Leland however, "the olde Henege lands passid not a fyfetie poundes by the yere." The family evidently rose on the ruins of the monastic houses: "Syr Thomas Hennage hath doone much cost at Haynton, where he is Lorde and Patrone, yn translating and new building with brike and abbay stone."
See Leland's Itinerary, vii. fol. 52; and Allen's History of Lincolnshire, ii. 67.
