Per crasin from Wymondham (that is, the home or habitation of Wimund, a Saxon proprietor), co. Norfolk. The Earls of Egremont were descended from Ailwardus, a noble Saxon, who possessed Wymondham soon after the Conquest; but whether he was a descendant of Wimund does not appear. Felbrigge, in the same county, was for many ages the seat of this ancient race, who afterwards removed to Orchard, co. Somerset, which came from a coheiress of Sydenham. See Shirley's Noble and Gentle Men.
