[Illustration] The name is supposed to be derived from Dimmok, in
the county of Gloucester, but the pedigree is not proved beyond
Henry Dymmok in the second year of Edward III. His grandson John
married Margaret, sole grand-daughter and heir of Sir Thomas de
Ludlowe, by Joan youngest daughter and coheir of Philip last Lord
Marmyon, Baron of Scrivelsby, and by the tenure of that manor
hereditary Champion of England, which office, since the Coronation
of Richard II. has been held by the Dymoke family.
