When the Battle of Touton in the year 1460 made it unsafe for those who adhered to the House of Lancaster to remain in public, the immediate descendant of Margaret in that branch, which is associated with the aged Hugh, withdrew from his paternal estate and settled in Gloucestershire, where he assumed the name of Hitchyn.

He married Alicia, daughter and sole heiress of Hunt of Hunts Court in Nibley, by whom he acquired that estate and became the grandfather of William Tyndale, who is justly termed the Apostle of the English Reformation.

As the gathering mists of a hot summer evening when the sun is set and dew begins to fall veil the bold and prominent landscape, so the obscurity of time has settled on the Tyndale family.

The outlines yet remain.

There's lots of villages in Gloucestershire that have competed for Tyndale to be theirs.

So Tyndale is probably growing up in an area, we might come back to this later, where he might be hearing a bit of Welsh being spoken.
