IKTRODUOTIOK. 
 
 The essence of a will is said to be threefold^ namely : 
 The testament (1) can be set aside or revoked 5 (2) It 
 can aifect property not in possession of the testator 
 at the date of execution, but acquired before death ; 
 (3) It can make a representative to act for the testator 
 when he is dead. In the twelfth century a man 
 could not give away his freehold land by will ; it 
 was not so allowed until 1540. Even then the lawyers 
 held that it could only affect land that was in the 
 testator's possession when his will was made, and 
 this remained good law until 1837; but in any case 
 the will was revocable. It had no action until its 
 owner died. The English will is the old Saxon Cwide. 
 In the oldest form there was no expressed diificulty in a 
 man giving something at the moment of writing, yet 
 retaining possession for life. He could both give away 
 and keep his land. Later it became impossible, since no 
 gift took effect without delivery (seisin). This ancient 
 doctrine is known as the post-obit gift. TJie second 
 important characteristic of a will was the death-bed con- 
 fession. Confession consists of three stages : contrition, 
 the actual act of confession, and the amendment. The 
 real purport of many of the clauses in early wills appears 
 to be an endeavour to satisfy the priest of the dying man's 
 real earnestness about his amendment. This amendment 
 is in practice the undoing as far as may be of wrongs 
 done. To this end he leaves sums for tithes forgotten, 
 something towards the repair of the church and other 
 like pious purposes, something for Masses for his soul. 
 
Ti DTTEODUCTION. 
 
 It matters Kttle whether or no these gifts are revocable 
 and ambulatory, since it very rarely happens in practice 
 til at a man will recover after he has received Viaticum. 
 Through these gifts executorship arose. The dying man 
 is handing over to some other person certain property for 
 the good of his soul. In the Anglo-Saxon CwiJe {i.e., a 
 saying) the post-obit gift and the last words coalesce, 
 and have much the appearance of a more modern will. 
 The testator provides for his kinsfolk and remembers his 
 dependants^ but it shews scarce a sign of its revocable 
 character, or its power to give what its owner may possess 
 in the future but does not possess at the moment. 
 Moreover, the consent of the King was necessary and a 
 heriot had to be paid. Growth was slow and changes 
 very gradual. They were brought about by the following 
 alterations made in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. 
 (1) The King's Court condemned the post-obit gift and all 
 dealings in land, except in certain boroughs. (2) The 
 claim of primogeniture became arbitrary ; the heir as 
 such has nothing to do with the chattels of the dead man, 
 which become generally the spoil of the church. (3) The 
 church asserted her right to protect and execute the last 
 will, and under her sway the will becomes, through foreign 
 influence, a real testament, and the executor the dead 
 man's representative. At length the church asserts its 
 right to administer the dead man's goods for the welfare 
 of his sotd. 
 
 By the twelfth century a wide gulf lay between land and 
 chattels. The land went to the heir. The lawyers of the 
 ages of Henry II. and III. (Gl anvil! e and Bracton) allowed 
 the church to obtain control of what was becoming a real 
 testament, and from henceforth the Courts Christian saw 
 to the will, and this will had executors. These were, in 
 origin, neither Eoman or English. The heir is useftd. 
 He is bound to see the executor pay the legacies ; for a 
 time he looks after the land. The executor attends to the 
 
INTRODUCTION. vii 
 
 chattels, but at the end of the Middle Ages the old 
 Eoman heres is called in England the executor. In the 
 thirteenth centuiy wills are usually in Latin, then in 
 French, and in the second half of the fourteenth century 
 English wills appear. The forms are Lego, Jeo devise, or 
 I wyte or bequeath. The Anathema has long since passed 
 away, but the testator's first care is not his estate, but his 
 immortal soul and his earthly body. His soul he bequeaths 
 to God, our Lady, and the Holy Saints. His body he 
 gives, with a mortuary, to some church. For a long time 
 elaborate instructions for splendid ceremonies are the rule, 
 later the faces of the testators are set against idle pomp. 
 Then come numerous monetary and other legacies, mostly 
 left to pious uses, the four orders of friars, the prisons of 
 London, the Mother Church. The repair of roads and 
 bridges are rarely forgotten. The testator dismisses his 
 debts and the sums owing to him with scarce a word. 
 The later the will the more care to provide for his 
 wife and children ; the earlier it is the more the dead's 
 part appears. He may be in sore need of Masses for his 
 soul. A common form survives, he is " sick in bodj- but 
 whole in mind " — a survival this of the dying confession. 
 Over and above the executors, powerful friends are asked 
 to be overseers, who are to advise or assist the executor. 
 Elaborate directions, save only for the funeral rites, are 
 rare, and even after the Eeformation much of the 
 mediaeval spirit has been preserved. 
 
 A word about probate. It was not until the age of 
 Eanulph Glanville {tetnp. Hen. IE.) that the Church Courts 
 obtained control of wiUs. They then began to claim com- 
 petence not only to decide the validity but also the power 
 to establish it. By the thirteenth century wills were 
 proved in the Church Courts. This idea in common with 
 that of the executors came from abroad, and such claims 
 to probate led to many an unseemly quarrel. For 
 instance, Archbishop Peckham excommunicated the Bishop 
 
viii INTEODUCTION". 
 
 of Hereford for denying his jurisdiction in a case -where 
 the dead man had goods in more than one diocese. The 
 compromise that a prerogative probate could only be rightly 
 claimed when the deceased had more than the worth of 
 five pounds in each of two dioceses is not very ancient. 
 
 It is necessary to a correct understanding to briefly 
 state the procedure following upon the dying con- 
 fession. After absolution, when the sick man was in 
 extremis, the last rites of the church were administered. 
 During his last moments the " passing bell " was tolled, 
 and directly after his decease a solemn commendation of 
 his soul to God followed. The death bell was then rung, 
 the strokes indicating the age and sex of the departed. 
 Commendation of the departed was followed by a Litany 
 and prnyer for the repose of his soul^ recited either in 
 the death chamber or the hall of his dwelling. On the 
 evening before the funeral Vespers for the dead were 
 recited. This office was generally known as placebo, frqm 
 the first word of the Antiphon : I shall please the Lord in 
 the land of the living (Ps. cxvi. 9). The service was 
 said or sung after the body had been placed before some 
 side altar in the parish church, where it lay covered with 
 a pall and surrounded by six or eight wax lights. 
 
 On the following morning at service of Matins, the 
 Birige, so called from the Antiphon, Make thy way plain 
 before my face (Ps. v. 8), was rendered in like manner. 
 The bells of the church were tolled before the funeral, 
 which took place after the Requiem Mass had been sung. 
 The inhumation followed. It was succeeded by a final peal 
 On the bells. The Trental or Month's Mind then began, 
 and its Masses followed thirty consecutive days. Finally, 
 the obit and anniversary with special Masses were said 
 monthly and yearly. 
 
 A study of the following wills shews the prescribed 
 order of services prior to the Reformation. Nor did it 
 even then entirely cease, since communion services at 
 
INTRODUCTION. ix 
 
 funerals have never been altogether omitted in the Church 
 of England ; and in the exequies of the wealthy, especially 
 of Peers and Prelates, there has been no lack of wax- 
 lights and embroidered palls, bells, and other ceremonies, 
 or in the provision of mourning for those who attended, 
 although that attendance was no longer for the pious pur- 
 pose of praying for the soul of the deceased. Eecognition of 
 the Mother Church of the Diocese died out, as of course 
 did specified legacies to the lights of the church and the 
 ornaments of the altars, but their place was partially 
 taken by some small legacy to the repair of the chin-ch 
 and for mending of highways and of bridges. At one 
 period the pomp of post-Reformation funerals became so 
 marked and the expense so great, that in many cases a 
 limitation was placed upon the expenditure, and the 
 testator desires to be buried simply — a sensible and wise 
 provision. The attendance of a herald is now rare : hatch- 
 ments are out of fashion. The bearing of the dead man's 
 arms and banner are no more. Gradually a sane theory 
 as to the disposal of the departed is growing in favour, 
 though much needless expense is still incurred. 
 
 The name of Wayman in the Teutonic form Wigmund 
 occurs in England as early as a.d. 725, in which year a pre- 
 late of that name was Abbot of Worcester ; half-a-century 
 later another Wigmund filled the See of York, and from 
 895 — 910 another was Bishop of Lichfield. The name is 
 cocrnate ' with Wigmaer, Wymarc or Wihomare, one of 
 whom was Abbot of Westminster in the year 969. The 
 name is of Scandinavian origin, and frequent not only in 
 Norway, Sweden and Denmark, but along the coast line of 
 the North Sea as far south as Normandy. In England 
 the Domesday Book shews branches of the family settled 
 in Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Essex, Herts, Oxon and 
 Suffolk. In Pressing-field, in the last-named county, 
 Robert, son of Wimare, held six carucates of land in the 
 time of Kino- Edward, while in Groton in the same county 
 
I INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Eoger de Orber encroached upon his lands. In Lincoln- 
 shire one Wymonnd was an under-tenant of Count Alan, 
 another held his land of Ivo Taillegebosc. Others of the 
 name occur among the men of the Bishop of Bayeaux and 
 Eohert of Poitou. At Gorton in Suffolk, Geoffrey Wymer 
 held lands in the time of King John, and at Ipswich, some 
 time later, a Winiund, son of Eadmund le Cartere, held 
 land in the parish of St. Nicholas. At Fresion in Suffolk 
 the prior and convent of Snapes granted land by an 
 undated charter to Wimund the chaplain. The most 
 famous Suffolk owner of the name was Wimer the 
 chaplain, who supervised, together with Bartholemew de 
 Glanville and Robert de Valoynes the erection of Orford 
 Castle, as appears by the Pipe Rolls 12 — 30 Hen. IL, 
 1166—1184. During the years 1177—1179 he was sheriff 
 of the county, and as such saw to the repair of the Castle 
 of Eye. In the year 1201-2 he was the King's Justiciar, 
 and died Yicar of Orford, a man of many parts. The 
 name of Robert Wyraound figures among the bailiffs of the 
 town of Cambridge in the reigns of Henry III. and 
 Edward I., especially from 1270—1284. Then in 1306 
 Adam Wymond was one of the representatives of the 
 Borough of Orford in Parliament. A William Wymund 
 lived in Surrey in 1817, a Nicholas Wyman at Haylesham 
 in 1342 ; a John Wymer at Shottisham in Suffolk in 
 1318, and William Wayman occurs at Little Torrington, 
 CO. Devon, in 1257. Such notices could be largely 
 extended. At a later date, viz., in 1626, Richard Wayman 
 held considerable estates in the counties of Hereford and 
 Worcester, and Thomas Wenman alias Wayman, Esq., 
 possessed yet wider estates in Norfolk, Sussex and Wor- 
 cester temp. Elizabeth. Katherine Weymond, a rich 
 Suffolk widow, owned lands in Monks Soham, Bedfield 
 and Wing&eld, while the very early form of the name was 
 represented in the same county by Edward Wimarke, who 
 flourished about 1588.

 This summary confirms the information supplied bj- 
 the following wills, and will help the student to under- 
 stand the forms the name has taken. In the wills here 
 given we meet with the following variants: Wymond, 
 Wymonde, Wimond, Weymond, Wiyman, Wijman, 
 Wiman, Wymant, Wymont, Wyment, Weyman, Weaman, 
 Whayman, Wheighman, Wayman, Waymon, Wayne- 
 man, Wainman, Winman and Weuman. The various 
 families were scattered along the coast from York- 
 shire to Cornwall, penetrating inland from the fenland 
 district through Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Oxford 
 into Berkshire. Several place names are derived from 
 early squatters, such as Wymondham, Wymondhale, 
 Wymondley and Wymondestane. They appear to have 
 been an energetic race of yeomen and freeholders, though 
 by no means neglectful of commerce, more than one 
 wealthy merchant founding a successful business in 
 London ; and in such cases the wills, if early, are usually 
 of much interest. One or two shew a love of books, and one 
 at least collected botanical and natural history specimens. 
 As a family they were unusually careless about the pro- 
 nunciation and spelling of their surname, and in the 
 dialect of East Anglia the same indifference is still to be 
 found, the rustic speech rarely discriminating between Way- 
 man and Wenman, using the two names synonymously. 
 
 The following wills of the Wayman family shew not 
 only that many of the family had riches sufBcient to require 
 probate in the Archbishop's Court, but that the wills of 
 quite humble testators, if they died on the high seas in 
 the forces of the Crown, were also proved in the Pre- 
 rogative Court. In one will at least the custom of London 
 is followed, by which, in accordance with very ancient 
 precedent, dating back to our Saxon forefathers, the 
 property of the deceased was divided into three portions : 
 the widow's part, the bairn's part, and the dead man's 
 part. 
 
iii INfEODirCTIOK 
 
 The sei'ies now printed serves a useful purpose in 
 presenting much, of interest in the manners and customs 
 of our forefathers, and its value to genealogists and 
 interest to members of the family are obvious. If the 
 evil that men do lives after them, it may be as well to be 
 reminded that there is another side to the picture — that 
 for good or evil personality is indestructible and the 
 human ego immortal. Even though dead, buried and for- 
 gotten, it influences the coming ages to the end of time, 
 and perhaps after — who knows ?
