Edmund Fairbanke

"Heptonstall is an ancient village in the Halifax Parish, West Yorkshire, dating back to at least 1253. It was known for its hand-loom weaving of wool, cloth hall (where finished cloth was bought and sold) and its position on a pack train route near the crossing of the River Calder at Hebden Bridge. It also had a grammar school founded in 1642.
An Edmund Fairbanks (1416-1460), born in Kendal and died in Heptonstall, was mentioned in the Manor Rolls of 1487. It is said Sir Edmund had two sons who were priests, Sir William Fairbank (1455-1518) and Sir George Fairbank. His third son, Sir Edmund, founded a chapel and maintained a chaplain, Sir John Green.

Sir William Fairbanks (1455-1518) had two sons, Sir Edmund ( - d 1560) and Sir Richard Fayrebank of Heptonstal ( - d 1517). Note this appears to be the same Richard whose will said his father and he were born in Kendal."
