A Norman baron called Ansculf de Picquigny (Ausculph de Penchengi)[REF] was granted many manors in the county of Warwickshire, and elsewhere, at the time of the Norman Conquest.
By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 Ansculf's lands had passed onto his son, William Fitz Ansculf (or Ausculph) [REF].
