Details

Sir Thomas Weyland (1230 – January 1298) was a British justice. He was the third son of Herbert Weyland and his wife Beatrice; his three brothers, John, Richard and William, also pursued administrative and judicial careers. Thomas's first appearance in official records is in 1251 as an attorney for his brother John for the making of a final concord. In 1258 he paid 100 marks for the Manor of Chillesford in Suffolk, and purchased a second manor in 1258 at Blaxhall for 300 marks; it is unknown what career he had to earn such money. In 1266 he married Anna, daughter of Richard de Coleville, and was knighted in 1270. In 1274 he was made a justice of the Common Bench after the death of his older brother William, who had previously held such a position.
