| According to BP1934 (Winchilsea and Nottingham), reporting Sir William Dugdale, this Finch family is probably descended from Henry Fitz-Herbert, chamberlain of King Henry I and ancestor of the Herbert Earls of Pembroke. They are thought to have changed their name to Finch after marriage to an heiress daughter of an earlier Finch family. | |||||||||||||
