A note on dates. The Victoria County History records the death of William Erneley as 1445. This appears to be a misprint for 1545. Erneley received the manor after the attainder of Edmund Dudley in 1510, and the surrounding chronology of the Erneley family is consistent with mid-sixteenth-century dates. The VCH was published in 1908, and such typographical errors occasionally occur in works of this scale.
