Gatehouse Comments

A rootsweb.ancestry.com record for a William de Calverhall le Barker gives a place of birth, in 1295, as Hallon-in-Warfield, Shropshire and a place of death, in 1319, as Hallon Castle, but, as with so much online genealogical information no source is given. In area of intense landscaping in C18. Jackson feels this is another name for Hallon House.
