Richard Wright show birth in Nantwich, Cheshire, which isn’t where his father resided.

Helena Hurte probably needs to be detached from parents for lack of evidence

As for Richard, I wonder how he supposedly ended up in Cornwall for death?

Wikitree doesn't include a Richard or Helena in this family.

Joan Bellame 's birthplace probably should be as showing in her father's Overview—Kelvedon Hatch, Essex—instead of Hadley, Barnet, Hertfordshire.

A particularly problematic tree and I don’t necessarily trust Wikitree got it right, either.

Maybe Karl David Wright wouldn’t mind taking another swipe at it?

Richard Wright of Nantwich, Cheshire, was buried there on the date in his profile.

Web trees claimed he died in Edmonton, Middlesex, England (not Cornwall) but if so he was in London when he died and was transported back to his own estate. He's also described as "Sir" in many web trees.

I can find no evidence that he was a son of the John Wright of Kelvedon, other than the fact that he has a title. Is this family covered by a visitation? If not I'd guess he may have been one of the Cheshire Wrights based on where he was buried.

Only one child is actually known: Jane. The two Richards he was given do not seem to have any support and I have disconnected them.

I've looked further into Richard of Nantwich. There are at least a half-dozen contemporaneous Richards in Nantwich, Cheshire, at that time:

So the guy buried in 1585 is NOT a Kelvedon Wright.

The only question that remains is whether John of Kelvedon had a known son named Richard. If he did, nobody knows what happened to him. I will remove the death / burial date accordingly.
