Roger Wyke

He certainly had some involvement as in 1427 he petitioned the Court of Chancery to try Bonville for assault, claiming he had broken into his property at Axmouth and had stolen goods worth £20.

In May 1451 he was summoned to appear in the Court of Chancery and in 1454 he provided securities in Chancery that Thomas de Courtenay, 5th/13th Earl of Devon (1414–1458) would appear before the King's Council, "undertaking on the same occasion that Courtenay would curb his hostile behaviour towards Lord Bonville".

Rockbourne in Hampshire appears to have been the most important of these estates,[6] which involved Wyke in several lawsuits brought by claimants from other Romsey descendants.

[6] By his wife he had one son and heir: In 1406 he purchased[12] the manor of Bindon in Axmouth, from Nicholas Bach, which he made his seat.

[12] Much of Wyke's original mansion house survives, including the chapel[6] for which he was licensed by the Bishop of Exeter in 1425.

Arms of Wykes of North Wyke and of Cocktree, both in the parish of South Tawton: [ 1 ] Ermine, three battle-axes sable . [ 2 ] The similarity of these arms to those born by the prominent Wrey family later of Tawstock Court , North Devon, is suggested by Worthy (1896) to prove that they are "collateral kinsfolk of the Wykes".

Arms of Burnell of Cocktree in the parish of South Tawton, Devon: Argent, a chevron ermines between three burnells proper , [ 4 ] the maternal arms of Roger Wyke which he adopted in lieu of his paternal arms of Wyke [ 5 ]
