BALLARD (SKIPP of Dymock - Inquest) (General)
Yes, the Skipps or Skyppes were prominent in Ledbury - see Ledbury A Medieval Borough by Joe Hillaby. Should be available on an inter-library loan or from Ledbury library. Photos of portraits John Skyppe 1574-1619 and John Skyppe, Bishop of Hereford 1539-1552, a Norfolk man. John Skyppe of Upper Hall died 1812. Ledbury Church also worth a visit.
