Families covered: Cripps (Crispe) of Circencester, Crisp of Suffolk

                               
BP1934 reports that the following Richard was "probably of the family of Crispe, long settled at Copcott, co. Oxford, but originally from Stanlake in the same county, where William Crispe was living in 1207". This suggests that he was a kinsman of Richard Crispe of Copcott (## see here ##). In the absence of information to the contrary, we assume that the change of the family name, to Cripps, was originally done in error but that, for some reason not known, it stuck.
