It is known that Hugh de Morville, Richard de Brito, and William de Tracy built a church at Alkborough, near Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire, where, until 1690, an inscribed stone on the chancel recorded the benefaction.
The name of the town of Bovey Tracey is derived from the River Bovey which passes through the town, and from the 'de Tracey' family - from Traci near Bayeux, Normandy, who settled in the area after the Norman Conquest of 1066.
