Pywells in Leicestershire
Underlined text in red is a link to a document
As the visit to St Cuthbert’s Church produced results, a visit to St Wilfrid’s in Kibworth Beauchamp seemed worthwhile. In fact it produced quite a number of additional Pywell relatives, not direct ancestors but very useful in filling out the family tree with some sound family history as far back as the early eighteenth century. Four generations are buried quite close to each other. They are listed below with relationships, followed by the photos and inscriptions
