James Norwood, 2nd son of James Norwood and Margaret Gralle, was born between 1405 when his brother John was born and 1416 when his father James died.  Little research has been done on this second son of James and Margaret Gralle Norwood.  Sir Robert Atkyns: "The Ancient and Present Sate of Gloucestershire", publ 1712; wherein he traced the Norwood family from Jordanus de Sheppey of the Isle of Sheppey to Kent in the reign of King Henry II to the Norwoods of Leckhampton Manor in Gloucestershire (p. 531) stated:
     "James de Northwode, last son of Sir John, married Margaret and co-heiress of Robert Gralle
      of Gralle in the County ofSuffex.  James de Northwode was his son, whose wife was Jane,
      daughter of Clynton, as appears on her tomb in the church of Milton.  His son was John de
      Northwode, Esq., whose wife was Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Miles of Elton, son
      of Sir John Elton who had the Manor of Gilling.  He died 4H7 1489 and lyes buried at
