A brief biography

John atte Rysbrygge



Lived during the reign of Henry VI.  He has 452 direct descendants in the family.

COOKS PLACE


A The Deed of Grant, dated 10th October 1480, shows that the Risbridgers were already resident in Cookes Place by that date.

Running southwards from the lower Sherbourne pond (Silent Pool) there had always been and there still is a running stream, the Sherbourne Watercourse.
This watercourse served the lower-lying fields held with Cookes Place, and it had been granted in the fifteenth century to a John Risbridger by the then Lord of the Manor Sir John Norbury. The Deed of Grant, dated 10th October 1480, records that Sir John did “give, grant and confirm to one John Risbridger, son and heir of Henry Risbridger ...... one small watercourse in breadth four feet, rendering to the Lord of the Manor one red rose on the feast of St John the Baptist if demanded”.
