Harleian Manuscript 1560, Also mentioned in his wife's codicil dated February 24, 1403 he is mentioned several times, including:
"To my husband Willliam de Tendrynnge 40 marks of my goods if he do not impede my exors."
Engleheart, The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, (Courtesy of Suellen (Clopton) DeLoach Blanton), p. 9, Engleheart cites Sir Harris
Nicholas' book, "History of the Battle of Agincourt," p. 361, which states Sir William fought at Agincourt in 1415. Because their
daughter, Alice was not admitted Lord of the Manor until1421, Engleheart feels certain Sir William died, then, between 1415 and
1421, 1420 or 1421 being the probable year.

Melford Church. He wears a tabard of Clopton with an ermine spot on the bend, she wears a kirtle of Mylde and mantle of Clopton
