And I appoint Sir John Scott, Knight, and John Cheney, of Polton, in the county of Somerset, Esquire, my executors '. Proved 16th July 1473.
All John Stourton's landed property he had previously settled on his daughters, in his lifetime, and when his Inquisition was taken after his death, at Yeovil, in 17 Henry VI., 1439, he was called John Stourton, Esquire, of Preston, not Brimpton, and it was proved and found by the Jurors that he then held no lands, hereditaments and premises within the County of Somerset, his three daughters,
(1) Cecily, wife of Thomas Kuriel, knight, aged 34 years;
(2) Johanna, wife of John Sydenham, Esquire, aged 21 years; and
(3) Alice Stourton, aged 7 years; were his coheirs at law.
These daughters were respectively children by each of his three wives, and the Inquisition is important as deciding the priority of their births. There was also some confusion made in his three wives, although more care was used in ascertaining the child by each marriage, excepting as to their priority of birth. John Stourton's first wife was Joan, daughter of William Banastre, Lord of the Manors of Wheathill, Radstock, &c., widow of Robert Aff'eton, living in 1395. He founded an obiit to " Pray for the soul of Joany sometime the wife of John Stourton;}." By her he had one daughter and heir, eventually a coheir : -
Cecily Stourton, aged 34 years in 1439, she married (i) John Hill,
of Spakton, aged 21 years on his father's death, on Sunday the Feast of St. Mark, I424, who himself died on Thursday next after the Feast of St. Calixtus in 1435, with whom she claimed a house in Wells, as heir of her maternal grandfather, William Banastre, called Lord of Wellesleigh, who had, by deed in 12 Richard II., ... which John and Cecily Hill alleged they had been dispossessed of it.
She married (2) Sir Wlliam? Kuriel, knight, of Westhangre, Kent, whose wife she was at her father's death, and under the latter's will she had one silver cup .... On her death, 15th April, 1472, Preston Pluckenet passed to her son and heir by John Hill.

"Edward Stradlyng esq.

He died 4 Nov last, seised in fee of the under-mentioned mill and lands, which Hugh Gernon and Henry Baylemondes gave, inter alia, to Richard Dauntesay and Katherine his wife, and the heir of their bodies, and which after the death of the said Richard and Katherine, and of John their son and heir, and of John son and heir of the said John, and of Walter son and heir of the said John, son of John, and of Joan Stradling, sister and heir of the said Walter Dauntsay, and of Edmund Stradling, son and heir of the said Joan, descended to him the said Edward Stradlyng per formam doni, as cousin and heir of the said Edmund, viz son of John, son of the said Edmund. Anne the wife of John Danvers, esq. is his sister and heir and is aged 19 years and more.
WILTS. A mill 20a. land, 3a. meadow, 3a. pasture, and 20a. wood in Dauntsey worth 4 l. held of the abbot of Malmesbury, service unknown."
[CIPM 2nd Series. Hen VII vol.I no.271]
His date of death is given as 4 Nov 1487 which was a Sunday. If Pole married the 14 year old countess in November 1487, he wasn't wasting much time.
It appears that Anne Stradling was a few years older than her brother and born before April 1469. Henry Danvers was her husband's uncle.
On the death of her cousin Alice Crocker in 1508, Anne was heir, with John Whittington, another cousin, to a considerable estate in Cornwall, and with John Whittington and Richard Bolles, to one in Devon, inherited from both Joan (Colshill) and Remfrey Arundell her great-grandparents.[CIPM 2nd series Hen VII v.3 no.366, 436].

Who's Who of Tudor Women:(Kathy Lynn Emerson)
ANNE LUDDINGTON (1528-1579)
Anne Luddington was the daughter Henry Luddington (d.1531), grocer of London and gentleman of Gainsborough, Yorkshire, and Joan Kirkeby (d. August 1576). Her mother’s second husband was Sir William Laxton (d.1556), another grocer and Lord Mayor of London in 1544. Anne married twice. Her first husband was another grocer, William Lane. Her second was Sir Thomas Lodge (1509/10-February 1585), Lord Mayor of London in 1562/3, as his third wife. Anne’s children by Sir Thomas Lodge were William, Thomas (1558-1625), Nicholas, Henry, Benedict, and Joanna.
On December 31, 1579, Lady Lodge died, and the terms of her will, made in September the same year, suggest that already Thomas' way of life was causing his family some misgivings. Lady Lodge appears to have done all in her power to settle upon her second son some "convenient portion of lyvinge," but, apart from the £100 due to Thomas under the will of Lady Laxton, all bequests made to him, either in money or property, were conditional on his satisfactory behaviour," and it is clear that it was felt that he was not to be trusted with either lands or money.

THE LUTTRELL CARPET SHS Newsletter 2 2003
The Luttrell table carpet must have been one of the prize possessions of Dame Margaret Luttrell, for when she died in 1580, widow of Sir Andrew Luttrell of Dunster and East Quantoxhead, she left "her best and largest carpet", a magnificent example of heraldic tapestry, to her eldest daughter, Margaret. Sir Andrew Luttrell had been a servitor at the coronation of Anne Boleyn; Margaret was maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth. She married Peter Edgcumbe of Mount Edgcumbe in Devonshire in 1555.
The carpet passed into the possession of Lord Mount Edgcumbe of Cotehele House, Cornwall. After two centuries, it was acquired from there by Howard Carter, the famous Egyptologist. It was offered for sale at Christies on 13th July 1922 but was not sold. It was exhibited in 1927/8 in America in both the Pittsburgh and Chicago art galleries and was bought by Sir William Burrell on 18th December 1928.

Contents:
A very small group containing:-
123M/F1-2, two deeds relating to the marriage of Dorothy daughter of Sir William Petre and Nicholas son of John Wadham of Merifeilde, Somerset esq., the one a feoffment from John to Nicholas and Dorothy of the manors of Hardington in Somerset and Haydon in Dorset (1555) and the other a post-nuptial settlement by Sir William Petre of a lease of the manor of Ilton, Somerset (1556).
(Nicholas and Dorothy Wadham were the founders of Wadham College, Oxford.)
A Who's Who of Tudor Women ....Dorothy Petre was the daughter of Sir William Petre (1505-1572) and Gertrude Tyrrell (d. May 28, 1541). She married Sir Nicholas Wadham of Merefield, Somerset (1532-October 20,1609) on September 3, 1555. Dorothy’s only claim to fame lies in the fact that she had enough money (£19,200 from her husband and an additional £7270 of her own) to found Wadham College after her husband’s death. In fact, almost nothing of known of her life between her marriage and his death. The Letters of Dorothy Wadham is a slim volume, published in 1904, and has mostly to do with the college, which received its royal letter patent on December 20, 1610.

The Letters of Dorothy Wadham, 1609-1618
edited with notes and appendices, by Robert Barlow Gardiner. Published 1904 by H. Frowde in London
The Wadhams of Catherstone were cousins of another branch of the family based at Merrifield in Somerset with another estate in Branscombe, Devon who are famous today as founders of Wadham College in Oxford. There is a link with Charmouth as the Village had Sir William Petre as Lord of the Manor from 1564 until his death in 1572. It was his daughter, Dorothy who bought much of her fathers wealth into her marriage with Nicholas Wadham. His estates were worth three thousand pounds a year in the currency of the period, and out of this income he saved fourteen thousand pounds, which he determined to spend on charitable purposes, having no children, and his inherited property devolving on his nephews, Sir John Strangways and Sir William Wyndham , father of Wadham Wyndham .His plans for a College were at once taken up by his widow, Dorothy . She had enough money (£19,200 from her husband and an additional £7270 of her own) and were used in the building and endowing of the College which was opened in 1613.Dorothy Wadham died at Edge on 16 May 1618, and was buried with her husband in Ilminster church, where she is commemorated by a brass and monumental inscription. Her portrait, painted, like that of her husband, in 1595, hangs in the warden's lodgings at Wadham College. On the front of the College today can be seen statues of both Dorothy and Nicholas Wadham set high above the entrance.

Of the manors of Stow and Maugersbury, one-third was settled upon the eldest son John ^ and his wife Elizabeth, and two- thirds were settled upon the widow Grace for life with reversion to the son John."^ This was by indenture dated Oct. 12, 1631, executed in anticipation of John's marriage. Edmund ' was, also, at his death, "seised in fee-tail of one capital mes- suage in Presbury with a garden, orchard, yard, etc., thereto belonging," which he "held of the King as of his manor of East Greenwich ... in free and common socage and not ... by knight's service"; also a reversion of "one CHAMBERLAINE OF MAUGERSBURY 73 house or tenement in Stowe and the lands thereto belonging lying in the common fields of Netherswell and Overwell," and "one close in Stow called Gill Stevens," in both of which Joan Freeman held a life interest. These lands were held of the King by the same tenure as the house in Prestbury. {Abstracts of Gloucestershire Inquisitiones post mortem, 1625-36, ed. by W. P. W. Phillimore and George S. Fry, pp. 208-211. British Record Society, Index Library, vol. 9.) Presumably this did not represent all of his estate, as lands owned by his father. Sir Thomas, and his elder brother, Sir John, of whom he was the heir, are found later in the possession of his great-grandson, - for instance the manors of Church Down and Shurdington. A view of the manor-house of Maugersbury (about 1700), and the coat of arms of the family, appear at p. 365 of Atkyns.]

The mother's will (Alice Dobson) is listed in a collection of "The English origins of American Colonists", remarking on her son John being overseas in 1643. Other research leads me to believe this son had emigrated, or was at least spending time in America on some sort of business.

...faced financial difficulties in 1652 (forced) raising a mortgage on the property from a neighbouring uncle, Edward Chamberlayne of Princethorpe. In 1655 the Hanslap family faced the inevitable and sold the property to Ambrose Holbech. In 1676, John Chamberlayne, 6th son of Edward, who had previously lent money on the property, acquired Stoneythorpe Hall, having made money from trade. Stoneythorpe Hall was to remain in his family for more than three centuries until 1998. During this period it was the residence to various members of the Chamberlayne family, many of whom are laid to rest in the family vault in the church at Southam.

History of Parliament: Thomas Chatterton.
The William Chatterton who asked the House to act was almost certainly the one who carried on a protracted lawsuit against his relative, Thomas Chatterton, over property in Lydiard Millicent, Wiltshire....Thomas Chatterton hath taken upon him to levy forces and to press soldiers without any commission, and yet he persuaded them that he had commission so to do and charged them to attend upon him at a certain place and time in the Queen’s name, but after he had gotten some money from them he discharged them again’.5
Most of the information about Chatterton concerns the various lawsuits in which he became involved. ...prosecuted him, Henry Chatterton and others of his kinsmen, ‘being men of a very insolent, licentious and dissolute life, and also common hunters, disturbers, annoyers and spoilers’ in the forest of Braydon, claiming that while illegally hunting deer they had broken into a keeper’s lodge, assaulted several underkeepers and carried off one Gryphon, presumably a forest official who tried to stop them....
