Walter BAILDON

Other Events and Attributes:

• Also Known As: Walter Bayldon

Notes:

From the researches of Jessie Perry Van Zile Belden it appears that Belden is a place name and the family of ancient English origin. BAYLDON or BAILDON Common is a chapelry in the West Riding of Yorkshire, situated on an eminence overlooking the river Aire. BAILDON was in the Angle Kingdom of Deira, A.D. 550, whence came the immortal youths seen by Gregory at Rome, and it has been the seat of the BAILDON or BELDEN family since the time of King John. BAILDON Hall is still in a good state of preservation. Some alterations were made in 1660 by Francis BAILDON, cousin of the American immigrant, and the cornice of the drawing room bears his initials. The hall was built some time during the 15th century. The coat-of-arms of the BAYLDONS of Bayldon is described: Argent, a fesse between three fleur-de-lis, sable. The simplicity of the arms indicates great age.
