Foley (Records, vol. V, p.740) quotes a communication received from Lord Arundell, in which he attempts to present a pedigree of the Erringtons, but fails to show the connections of Ven. George Errington, merely stating that he “may fairly be treated as presumably a younger branch of the Erringtons of Errington.” The pedigree, as given, is not quite correct, and concerns mainly the Erringtons of Walwick Grange, with whom George Errington could only have been remotely connected.

In the Sussex County Magazine of May 1942, the Reverend L.E. Whatmore gave an account of “Thomas Pilchard of Battle (1557-87),” Elizabethan martyr of Dorchester. There is no doubt that this martyr’s name was Thomas Pylcher, and that his alias of Pilchard was adopted to serve the west coun1ry area of his apostolate.
