   Always been interested in where names came from. Looked up Spencer "In a   
   castle a chamberlain was an important official. The surname Chambers comes   
   from the same source, a man who looked after the king's or a noble's private   
   chambers. The man who dispensed stores was a spencer. Other officials were   
   the parker who looked after the game park and the warriner who looked after   
   rabbit warrens. From him we get the surname Warner. The reeve was an   
   important official in a Medieval village. Bailey is a   
   corruption of bailiff, another important official
