Sir Roger de Pyvelesdon
Sir Roger de Pyvelesdon (otherwise 'Puleston' etc.) was recorded as being Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire in 1285.[1]
He died in 1272 and his son and namesake Sir Roger de Puleston erected a market cross in his father's memory. This is confirmed in a deed dated 1285, signed by Roger (the son), which included these words: the cross set up for the soul of Roger de Pyvelesdon who died in 1272.[2][3][4]
