interesting piece of history peter, your 25 times great grandfather arrived here about the same time as an entertainer called roland played in the wind section up at the castle.
from wikipedia.
Roland the Farter (known in contemporary records as Roland le Fartere) was a medieval flatulist who lived in 12-century England. He held Hemingstone manor in Suffolk and 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land in return for his services as a jester for King Henry II. Each year he was obliged to perform "Unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum" (one jump, one whistle, and one fart) for the King's court at Christmas.
