Early Origins of the Mignot family

The surname Mignot was first found in Kent where Peter Mignot, Minnot was listed in the Pipe Rolls of 1191 and 1201. Later, Robert Mignot, Minot was found in Oxfordshire in 1232 and 1237. About a century later, Nicholas Mynyot was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379. 1 The family is thought to come from Cotes du Nord in Normandy. 2

Thomas Minot, also spelt Mynot or Mynyot (1349-1375) was an English-born judge and cleric in fourteenth-century Ireland. He was born in Nothorpe, Lincolnshire moving to Seaton, Rutland in 1351. He was Archbishop of Dublin from 1363 to 1375 and is best remembered for his extensive restoration works to St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. Minot's Tower is so named for his efforts.
