Adam de Lymbergh

Adam de Lymbergh (died 1339) was an English Crown official and judge of the early fourteenth century, who served two Kings with distinction.

[1] He was born in Lincolnshire, where he was a substantial landowner with estates at Torksey and Navenby; his name probably derives from the village of Great Limber in the same county.

[1] He was in holy orders: he became prebendary of Stafford in 1312, and held at least four livings: Rye, Sussex, Berkswell, Warwickshire and two parishes in Lincolnshire itself, Firsby and Algakirk.

He was apparently attached to the household of John Sandale, Bishop of Winchester, and helped to complete an inventory of his possessions on his death in 1319.

He was appointed a Remembrancer of the Exchequer (the official who drew up a memorandum of each case for the Court to consider) in 1311, and the records show that he was exceptionally diligent in performing his duties.
