Upchurch

The Noble Tribe of Upchurch is represented here by Lord William, Seneschal of Upchurch. The ancient and distinguished surname Upchurch is Old English in origin, tracing its history back to the time of Anglo-Saxon England. The name means "of Upshire," and refers to someone from the hamlet Upshire in county Essex. It is also possible that the name sometimes means "of Upchurch," referring in this case to someone from the parish of Upchurch in county Kent, but the Essex variation is considered the parent.
