swuklink: Sir Humphrey de Beauchamp

Sir HUMPHREY DE BEAUCHAMP(-de Bello Campo)

The name of father and son, who both held the Manor of Ryme (modern Ryme Intrinseca) in north-west Dorset during the latter 13^th and early 14^th centuries.

The Norman Latinised form of de Beauchamp was de Bello Campo.

Sir Humphrey senior obtained a licence from King Edward I to appoint a chaplain to celebrate divine service in Ryme and build a free chapel "within the court" of the Manor House. He built the chancel of the parish church dedicated to Saint Hippolytus of Rome there. His son, of the same name, built the nave of the church shortly afterwards.

It is likely that at least some of the materials used in the building of the church would have been the local Ham Hill stone from the quarries at Stoke-under-Hamdon where Sir Humphrey had family connections.
