Washington 1100 to 1500 Washington of Warton, Washington of Washington
Wa26 Sir Patric FitzDolfin of Offerton
Wa25 William de Hertburn or de Wessington or Washington (b c1180) The family continued to live at Washington until 1399, when, on the death without issue of another William, seventh in descent from William de Hertburn, Washington was devolved on a cousin, also called William, who was the last of that name to own the Manor. The manor continued in the possession of Washington descendents (Tempests, Mallorys and Blakestons) until it was sold in 1613 to the Bishop of Durham.
It is uncertain whether the above William was the son of Patric FitzDolfin or of Geoffrey Bayand/Baiart/Baird. at present, Dolfin of Raby seems the more likely father, who in turn was the son of Uchtred of Raby and grandson of Gospatrick of Northumberland.

Wa14 Lawrence Washington, 1st of Sulgrave (b c1500, d 19.02.1584) Lawrence left Warton, where he was employed by Sir William Parr, uncle of Henry VIII’s last Queen, and moved about 1530 to Northamptonshire, where Parr had large interests. At about this time he married Elizabeth Gough, widow of a rich woolstapler of the town of Northampton. Here he flourished as a wool merchant to become Mayor in 1532. He already acquired land in the county, and leased a house in the village of Sulgrave, when the opportunity fell to him in 1539, at the dissolution of the minor monastic houses, to buy from the Crown for the sum of L32414s 10d. the manor of Sulgrave, which had belonged to the Priory of St. Andrew at Northampton. His first wife died childless shortly after this, and then he married another widow, He was Mayor of Northampton again in 1545, parts of his house are still to be seen. The date at which the house was completed can be fixed by architectural evidence at about 1560
