The first of this eminent family on record, SIR THOMAS FOLJAMBE, living in the reigns of HENRY III. and EDWARD I. appears either as witness or principal in many charters, and his position amongst the witnesses, either standing first, or where there are other knights named with him, near the first, shews that he was a man of principal note in his times. In 1272, he was bailiff of the High Peak, in Derbyshire, and at his death, on the Saturday next after the feast of St. Hilary, 11 EDWARD I. he held of the king an oxgang of land by the sergeantry of keeping the king's forests de Campana, which was the style of the forest of the High Peak.
