Notes
Matthew King was aged 51 when he died. He was the son of John and Sarah King, baptised at Winslow in 1789. In the 1841 Census, Matthew King of independent means was recorded at Winslow Hall (but the age is given wrongly if it's the same man). He paid church rates in 1840 for a house and orchard, so probably lived in part of what is now The Courtyard. He was a member of the Bucks Yeomanry in 1812.
