Sussex Archaeological Collections, Vol III (1850). At pp 89 -102 there is
an article of this family by William Durrant Cooper, but note that it is
stated there that Sir Thomas Lewknor m Philippa (widow of Sir Richard
Barnes) d&h of Sir Edward Dalyngrudge of Bodyam Castle
The National Trust Guide to Bodiam Castle 1991 corrects this:
Sir John Dalyngrigge

Sir Dalyngrigge m Joan de la Lynde

A) Sir Edward Dalyngrigge (c1346-by 1395), builder of Bodian, m Elizabeth
Wardeux
and
B) Walter Dalyngrigge
A) Sir Edward and Elizabeth left
i) Sir John D (-1408 sp) m Alice (-1443), she also m Sir Thomas Botiler
and
ii) Margaret m Sir T Sackville (left Edward)
The above B) Walter D (by NN) left
a) Richard (-1470 sp)
b) William dsp
c) Philippa m1 Sir R Barnes, m2 Sir Thomas Lewknor
Sir John D's will left Bodiam Castle to his wife Alice for life then to his
cousin Richard, then failing issue by Richard and his brother William to
Philippa.
There is more in the NT guide, I don't know if you can obtain a copy in the
US.
Bodiam Castle, near Hastings, is not terribly large, but the external walls
are in good condition. It is set in a wide moat, so when the conditions
are right, it is surrounded in mist - it is very beautiful - a "fairy-tale"
castle - often used for film sets.
