| Notes |
- Was a distinguished man. He held various offices of trust and honor; was on the commissions of the peace for Worcestershire in 1404 and 1405; vice-comes, described as of Washborne, in Overbury; knight of the shire in 1404; escheator. His tomb is the oldest of the four which were formerly in the chancel of the Wichenford church, and is described by Thomas Habingdon, to whom much of the knowledge of the Washborn family is due, written before 1633, the date of Habingdon's death: "In the north of the Chauncell is an auncient Tombe of Alabaster on the ground, A man armed all savinge his heade, vnder which lyethe hys helmet with a wreathe, and theareon a flame of fyre within a band, mantled and doubled, at hys feete a Ly. On his ryght hand his wyfe with a littell dog at her feete. Between them Washborn armes impalinge a cheueon."
