"Richard was from Hestercombe, Somerset, England - which is situated on the southern slopes of the Quantock Hills with extensive views over the Vale of Taunton to the Blackdown Hills beyond. It was first mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter of 854. From 1391 until 1872 the land was continuously owned by one family, the Warres." [1]
