The Dormers of Wing were the local landed Gentry. The were the Earls of Carnarvon one & two. The first died at the battle of Newbury during the civil war. A later decendant was Sir Dormer. These Dormers were Catholics but pretended not to be after the civil war for obvious reasons & attened protestant church (the librarian at Aylesbury has done research on this. Apparently the Dormers first appear in West Wycombe.
