Where is this place?
« on: Tuesday 08 July 25 16:30 BST (UK) »
I have a copy of a will of one of my ancestors dated 21 February 1609/10. He died in Tilbury juxta Clare in Essex and he made his will on his death bed. One of the witnesses was the minister of Sapworde (or something similar - see attachment). Have I deciphered the place correctly? Whatever the name of the place, does anyone know where it is? I cannot find any references but I assume that it is near to Tilbury.
Regards

Many thanks. I have never come across that before and I have been researching my family history for over 25 years. I learn something new everyday! Thanks again.
