Who are the st germans in wiggenhall?

Answer 1

I'm not sure this is the correct answer, but I came to this site looking for info on my ancestors from Wiggenhall in the 1100's and 1200's--the Germunds, or Germondes. They married into the well-known Howard family of historical interest, who were the leading family of Wiggenhall for many generations. Since the church is so old it was probably supported by the Howards at sometime, and perhaps the name of Germund became St. Germain, or German. BTW, the Germonde name appears to have come over with the Normans, and referred to French Troubadours in the 11th and 12th centuries. Hope this helps--but it is all conjecture! Delina C
