This is absolutely riddled with obvious date errors! -"Sir Francis Tanfield (d. 1558),[3] governor of Lord Falkland’s Colony of Newfoundland, Canada 1623–25 built the Manor House in the village in the early 17th century and this house has some similarity to Sir Thomas Tresham's at Lyveden New Bield. It is probable that Sir Francis was the son of Clement Tanfield and his wife, Anne, of Gayton. He was born in 1565 and was knighted in July 1603" Just on this page you find out that he died at the age of 7, but then went on to be knighted after sitting in the grave for 45 years and then as a corpse somehow ended up being a governor in Newfoundland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.147.97.176 (talk) 16:46, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have dealt with the Tanfield problems. The Hughes section remains. Can anyone add to this? Is there a reference? Is it notable. If it wasn't for the reference to royalty I would have deleted it. Spinney Hill (talk) 16:32, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
