W.A. Copinger, in 'County of Suffolk: its history as disclosed by
existing records and other documents...' includes the following among
wills of Dennington residents proved at Ipswich between 1444 and 1455:
'John Clerke. Fol. 184'. It may be interesting to obtain a copy of this
will and see if the lands known as 'Jeffreys' are included in it.
