ROBERT COVINGTON (22443). Born:
about 1500 in Bedfordshire. Father: not known (0). Mother: not known (0). Mar:
about 1525 in
Bedfordshire
to Thorpe, Louisa (22444). Died: 23 Dec 1577 in Thurleigh, Bedfordshire aged
77. Buried at Saint Peters Lutheran Church
Cemetery,
Thurleigh, Bedford Borough, Beds, where he is shown as Rob in the records..
Limited
information is available regarding the exact birth dates & location for
Robert, other than that it is believed he was born in Beds. The
first
recorded use of the name in 1011 was "Bedanfordscir," meaning the
shire or county of Bedford, which itself means "Beda's ford" (river
crossing).The
county town of Bedford is 46 miles (74 km) miles north-northwest of London, 65
miles (105 km) southeast of Birmingham, 25
miles (40
km) west of Cambridge and 19 miles (31 km) east-southeast of Northampton
The southern
end of the county is on the chalk ridge known as the Chiltern Hills. The
remainder is part of the broad drainage basin of the
River Great
Ouse and its tributaries. Most of Beds's rocks are clays and sandstones from
the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, with some
limestone.
Local clay has been used for brick-making of Fletton style bricks in the
Marston Vale. Glacial erosion of chalk has left the hard
flint
nodules deposited as gravel—this has been commercially extracted in the past at
pits which are now lakes, at Priory Country Park,
Wyboston
and Felmersham. The Greensand Ridge is an escarpment across the county from
near Leighton Buzzard to near Gamlingay in
Cambs.
Thurleigh -
Excavations have shown evidence the locality was occupied in The Iron-Age,
Roman and Saxon periods. Appears in The
Domesday
Book of 1086. By 1372 it is Thyrleye. In 1813, Thurleigh, or Thurley, is
recorded as being in the Hundred of Willey and the
Deanery of
Eaton. The scribes were particularly ecclesiastical for the county as Lega is a
very Latin-esque form of leigh. The latter is a very
common
word, rarely used today for meadow or clearing (lea) almost certainly an
Anglo-Saxon word. Perhaps preceded by the definite
article,.
Being in the Danelaw however a link to Thor cannot be ruled out, i.e. Thorlea.
There was a church here in Saxon times. The current
church has
some parts still dating from around 1150, and at about that same time a castle
was built here. (Last updated: 19/04/2020
