Kellum

The mighty Tribe of Kellum is represented here by Lord John, Seneschal of Kellum. Kellum is a name that was carried to England in the great wave of migration from Normandy following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Kellum family lived at Kelham in Nottinghamshire, a parish northwest of Newark. The name Kellum is derived from the Old Norse expression for at the ridges. It is most commonly found in Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire.
