Notes
- At this point in time there's no evidence that Lichfield William Repyngton had any offspring or was even married, but it is known that a William Repyngton owned Wadlowes Manor in Toddington near Dunstable in 1564 (most probably not Lichfield William; as he would have been 99).
Toddington is 15 miles from Drayton in Buckinghamshire where Ralph Rippington was born in 1524 and also the same distance from Tring, where Arthure Rippington (the first of the true Rippingtons) was born in 1548 - so the circumstantial evidence is highly probable that there's some familial link between all these individuals.
Until further evidence is found some tentative links have been added to the family tree, a second William Re(y)pyngton (b. 1490), a link to Stamford John Rypyngton; who by the proximity of his marriage in Medbourne, Lincolnshire to William's possible presence in nearby Market Harborough around this time ... and then finally links between William, an unknown individual (temporarily named 1530 Rypyngton), Ralph and Chiltern Arthure.
Note that Ralph, being a cleric, was probably celibate; so it's highly unlikely that he was Arthure's Father.
- The conclusion of the above supposition is therefore that Lichfield William Repyngton was the progenitor of the Chiltern Rippingtons and his brother Lichfield Thomas Repyngton the progenitor of the City of London Rippingtons.

- The importance of the Salter is better understood when we consider that, as the produce of the land was in the Middle Ages almost entirely consumed on the spot, and it was not easy to get supplies of provisions from a distance, immense quantities of victuals of all kinds were salted, in order that they might keep during the whole year round, and were preserved in vast larders and storehouses.

At the Dissolution the lands of Dunstable were valued at £4 13s. 4d., from which 14s. 6d. was paid as an annual rent to the lord of Toddington.
The property was subsequently annexed to the honour of Ampthill, and was granted to Nicholas West and his heirs in 1553.
The following year it was purchased from him by John Burgess, who was called upon to prove his title to the estate in 1555 and who died before 1559,
when Wadlowes Manor was released to his son Thomas. He alienated it by licence in 1564 to William Repyngton,
from whom it passed before 1597, being then held in two moieties by the Johnson and Astrey families.
