Thomas Forester of Adderstone
Dates: Recorded at Adderstone Tower in 1415; further personal dates not securely established here.
Biography
A member of the Northumberland Forster family associated with Adderstone. The 1415 tower list records Thomas Forester at Adderstone Tower, but does not provide sufficient evidence for a fuller biography or a precisely defined manorial title.
Notes / Sources
Do not equate the tower entry automatically with a complete proof of sole manor ownership; it is corroborative evidence for the Forster estate connection.
