Early Origins of the Feldwick familyThe surname Feldwick was first found in Sussex where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Feldwyck. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1296 when Roger de Feldwycke held estates in that county at Feldwycks now West Hoathly.
