c) Elizabeth Stroke
Sir Frederick Madden in his "Remarks on the Monument of Sir Richard Lyster in St. Michael's Church Southampton," describes both the judge's grandfather, Thomas, and his father, John, as of Wakefield in Yorkshire . His mother was a daughter of Beaumont of Whitley in the same county. He had his legal training in the Middle Temple , where he arrived at the dignity of reader in Lent, 1516, and of double-reader in Lent, 1522, and he was appointed treasurer of the society in the following year.....After presiding in the Exchequer above sixteen years, he was advanced to the office of chief justice of the King's Bench on 9 November 1545; and in this character he attested the submission and confession of Thomas Duke of Norfolk on 12 January 1547, a fortnight before the king's death. On the accession of Edward VI he was reappointed, and his first duty on the Thursday after was to address a batch of new serjeants on their inauguration at Lincoln's Inn . This he did, as the reporter significantly says, in "a godly thowghe sumwhate prolix and long declaration of their duties and exhortation to their full following and execution of the same." He resigned at the end of the first five years of the reign on 21 March 1552, when he was succeeded by Sir Roger Cholmeley .The remainder of his life he spent at his mansion in Southampton , which John Leland describes as being "very fair"; and dying on 14 March 1554, where he was buried in St. Michael's Church. 1]
By the inquisition after his death taken at Andover, he was found to be possessed of eleven manors in the counties of Hampshire and Surrey, together with various other lands and tenements. His monument represents him in scarlet robes (the colour of which has now disappeared), with a collar of S. S. round his breast, a judge's cap on his head, and a book in his hand. A part of the inscription remains which records its erection by his widow Elizabeth. This lady, who was a daughter of - Stoke, was his second wife; and by her he had a daughter Elizabeth, married to Sir Richard Blount, and a son Michael, knight of the Bath , who died in his father's life time, leaving a son Richard, who married Mary the second daughter of Lord Chancellor Wriothesley,1st Earl ofSouthampton and widow of William Shelley of Michelgrove. His first wife was Jane, daughter of Sir Ralph Shirley of Wistneston, Sussex, and widow of Sir John Dawtrey of Petworth. Her portrait by Holbein is in the Royal Collection.
GEN_Medieval Archives. Henry Sutliff wrote:
.. Sir Richard Lister/Lyster (d. 14 Mar 1553/4 Southampton) was Chief Justice of the court of the King's Bench. He was from a family from Wakefield, Yorks. His father was John and his mother was Elizabeth Beaumont of the Beaumont family of Whitley, Yorks.
Sir Richard was married twice (1) Jane Shirley, daughter of Sir Ralph Shirley of Westmeston/Witneston/Wiston, Sussex, widow of Sir John Dawtrey of Petworth, Sussex. (2) Elizabeth Stoke who survived her husband and died after 1567.
The DNB shows that Elizabeth Lister who married Sir Richard Blount of Mapledurham, Oxon. was daughter of Sir Richard and Elizabeth Stoke.
Paget in his ancestry of Prince Charles (thanks to Leo van de Pas!) apparently shows Elizabeth's mother as Jane Shirley. The sources for DNB are mostly 19th century publications, but I am not aware of why Paget made a different choice if I have this information correctly. Without certain dates of marriage for Sir Richard or date of birth for Elizabeth Lister, it is difficult to resolve the conflict. Can anyone help?
Ordinarily I would accept DNB, but a guesstimate of Elizabeth Lister's birth date would put her birth before 1515 which would seem to indicate her birth was when her father was still young. However, not knowing more about the length of the marriage to Jane Shirley makes any guesses unreliable.
Thanks for any help.

The tithing of WEST STRATTON
...again in 1530 John Wayte conveyed the same lands to Viscount Lisle, Sir Richard Lister, chief baron of the Exchequer, and many others, and the heirs of Sir Richard Lister; (fn. 55) hence it appears that Viscount Lisle's rights in West Stratton were transferred to Sir Richard Lister, (fn. 56) to whom a certain Robert Fawkenor and his wife Joan quitclaimed their rights in the manor eight years later. (fn. 57) Sir Richard evidently parted with West Stratton before his death, which occurred in March, 1553-4, (fn. 58) to his father-in-law, Thomas Wriothesley, earl of Southampton, who died seised of it in 1550. (fn. 59) Both West and East Stratton were among those of the earl's lands which were seized by the crown for payment of a debt; they were regranted to his widow in 1554, in consideration of £400 to be paid to the queen yearly until the debt should be satisfied. (fn. 60) The subsequent history of the manor is identical with that of Micheldever.(From: 'The parish of Micheldever', A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 3 (1908), pp. 390-394.

(fn. 70) Wriothesley seems to have sold it to Sir Richard Lister, who died seised of it in 1558, leaving as his heir his grandson and namesake. (fn. 71) After this date the history of the property becomes obscure. It is represented now by Painshill Farm.

Wakefield Worthies, THE REV. J. H. LUPTON, M.A.,
.....But Sir Richard Lyster appears to have had the art of keeping aloof from troubled waters. He was of an old Wakefield family; his grandfather, Thomas Lyster, being settled there in Henry the Sixth's reign. His father, John Lyster, married one of the Beaumonts of Whitley in Yorkshire. Their son Richard, with whom we are now concerned, being destined for the legal profession, was entered at the (i) Lives of the Chief Justices of England (1849.) Pref. p. vi. Middle Temple; where he was made Reader in 1516, Double Reader in 1522, and Treasurer the following year. After filling in succession the offices of Solicitor General, and (as there is every reason to believe) Attorney General, he was raised to the Bench, May 1 2th, 1529, as Chief Baron of the Exchequer. On his elevation he was knighted, and afterwards appointed one of the commissioners for trying Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, and Sir Thomas More. After continuing as head of the Exchequer for sixteen years, he was promoted to the rank of Chief Justice of King's Bench, Nov. Qth, 1546. His predecessor in that office, Sir Edward Montagu, had apparently found his task too irksome, and so resigned it for the post of Chief Justice of Common Pleas, "which," says Campbell, ."though lower in rank, was quieter." "He might feel some mortification," the same writer adds, "when he saw Richard Lyster, whom he had lately snubbed at the bar, take precedence of him in judicial processions, as Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench.".....On the accession of Edward vi., Sir Richard was re-appointed; and we find him addressing abody of new Serjeants, on their inauguration at Lincoln's Inn, " in a godly, thowghe sumwhate prolix and long declaration of their duties," as Dugdale calls it. He held office till 1552, when he resigned; and spent the remainder of his life at Southampton. Leland, who visited the town, has left a short notice of his residence : " The house that Master Lighster, chiefe Barne of the King's Escheker, dwellyth yn, is very fair." He died there, March 14th, 1553, and was buried in the Church of St. Michael. If he shunned notoriety in his lifetime, it has certainly not pursued him after his death.- For many years his very monument in St. Michael's was believed to indicate the resting-place of another person, Lord Chancellor Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton....The writer, speaking of St. Michael's, says, "In the aforesaid dormitory, against the south part, lyes on a handsome stone tomb the figure of a Judge on his back, dress'd in scarlet ; a collar of S.S. 3 round his breast, a Judge's cap on his head, and a book in his right hand. On a sort of cornice, supported by three pillars, this remnant of an inscription :
ET. DICTO. ELIZABETH. HOC. IN. VIDVETATE. SVA. CVZAVIT (SIC). l8 DIE. MARGIE. 1567."
The Elizabeth mentioned in the inscription was his second wife. Her maiden name was Stoke. For his first wife he married Jane, daughter of Sir Ralph Shirley of Wistneston, Sussex, and widow of Sir John Dawtrey of Petworth. Her portrait, by Holbein, is in her Majesty's collection. 4
His will is dated at Southampton, Oct. 10, 6 Edw. VI., [1552,] in which he describes himself as Richard Lyster, Knt. Chief Justice at Pleas. He gives inter alia to his niece, Elizabeth Methley, twenty-one years in the manor of Halyborne Estbroke, co. Southton. His son, Sir Michael Lyster, was then dead, leaving Richard Lyster his son and heir. Charles Lyster, younger son of Sir Michael, was under age. His daughter Elizabeth is mentioned, and her husband Sir Richard Blount. The will was proved the 16th of April, 1554, by the executors, Sir Richard Blount and Richard Lyster.
By the inquisition taken after his death at Andover, the 17th of March, 1554, it appears that he held at his decease the manors of Halyborne, Estbrook and Westbrook, Colrithe, Bishops Sutton, Medested, Lokerley, Romsey, Paynshill, Mount la Hyde, and Morestede, in the counties of Southampton and Surrey, together with various other lands and messuages, including one capital messuage in the town of Southampton, valued at £7., held of the mayor and his brethren by suit of court.
By the same inquisition it is declared that Sir Michael Lyster, knight, died in the lifetime of his father, and Richard Lyster, son of Sir Michael, was heir to his grandfather, and of the age of twenty-one years. This Richard Lyster afterwards married Lady Mary, second daughter of Lord Chancellor Wriothesley, and perhaps this may have helped to occasion the error respecting his grandfather's monument.
In regard to the arms of Sir Richard Lyster, as they appear on the monument, they correspond closely to the coat granted him, when Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by Sir Christopher Barker, Garter, viz., azure, on a cross argent, between four wrens or, five torteaux, each charged with a star of six points orm; and the same arms are engraved by Dugdale (only changing the stars to mullets, as on the tomb) in his Origines, p. 329, as they appeared in 1599, in the windows of Sergeant's

Broxhead Manor
on the death of William Brocas, his property was divided between his daughters Anne and Edith. Anne married George Warham in 1514, but died without issue, leaving her sister Edith, wife of Ralph Pexall, her sole heir. Edith's son and heir Sir Richard Pexall died in 1571, leaving four daughters and heirs, Ellen, Margery, Anne, and Barbara. Ellen married John Jobson; Margery married firstly Oliver Beckett and secondly Francis Cotton; Anne married Bernard Brocas, who was descended from the Sir Bernard Brocas who was executed in the reign of Henry IV, and Barbara married Anthony Brydges.
One-third of the manor of Broxhead was divided equally among the four sisters. The remaining two-thirds remained in the possession of Sir Richlrd's widow, Dame Elinor, to hold for the term of her life if she remained single, with remainder to Pexall Brocas the son and heir of Anne and Bernard Brocas. Shortly after their father's death, Ellen Jobson and Barbara Brydges parted with their twelfths of the manor, the former to Dame Elinor and her second husband Sir John Savage, and the latter to Anne and Bernard Brocas. Margery Cotton died in 1581, seised of one-twelfth of the manor, her heir being her son John Beckett, under age, and her husband Francis died thirty years afterwards, also seised of a portion of the manor. Anne Brocas, who only survived her husband Bernard by two years, died seised of a portion of the manor in 1591, her heir being her son, Sir Pexall Brocas. (Victoria County History of Hampshire - c.1911)
Lord High Treasurer and a man of considerable power and reputation.24 Pexhall also appears to have been a very effective and popular Sheriff as he was re-appointed in 1558 and again in 1561. In 1553 Pexhall was knighted, and before the end of the following year he was granted the hereditary office of the Master of the Buckhounds under Mary I; he would continue in that office under Elizabeth I. In her letter of appointment, Mary wrote that Pexall was granted the office for “the good, true, and faithful service which her beloved servant had before that time rendered her in many ways...” This comment suggests that Pexhall had been of help to Mary in 1553, during the very tumultuous year after Edward VI died, and this may also be why Pexall was knighted that year. It was during this same time that Pexhall decided to pull down the old family seat of Brocas and, in its place, build a beautiful Tudor mansion, calling it Beaurepaire. Although his son-in-law would ultimately complete the mansion, it was for Pexhall surely a symbol of his growing fortune and status.25
24
Not long after Eleanor Paulet died, in September 1558, Richard and Eleanor Cotgreave were married.26 They were to have a childless marriage, as indeed all of Eleanor’s were, although from the remaining accounts their union was a happy one. By example, when Pexhall died in 1571, in a fairly unusual step for the period, he left the vast majority of his fortune to Eleanor, including Beaurepaire and many other estates, to the exclusion of his own children by his first wife.27 What remained of his estate, after his many gifts to Eleanor, was left to his grandson, Pexall Brocas, who was the son of his eldest daughter, Anne, by her marriage to Bernard Brocas of Horton.28 Yet, even here Pexhall specified that Eleanor was to act as trustee to Brocas’ legacy until he reached the age of majority. Pexhall’s will also left the Mastership of the Buckhounds-a hereditary title-to Eleanor rather than his children. And, as a clear indication of his wishes, Pexhall’s will also states that, should anyone challenge his legacies to Eleanor, they would be disinherited.29 | Pexall, Richard (I10106)

The first Lord Rivers mortgaged the Melford estate to Sir John Cordel], Kt , merchant, of London ; and his son, Sir Robert, having purchased the estate, it once again became the family seat of the Cordells. Sir Robert Cordell was created a baronet in 1660, but the title and the name became extinct on the death of his grandson Sir John, who was killed by a fall from his horse in 1704. Margaret, his sister, carried Melford Hall to the Firebrace family, by marriage with Charles Firebrace, Esq., eldest son of Sir Basil Firebrace, Kt. and Bart., whose only sister Hester married Basil Fielding, 4th Earl of Denbigh. Sir Cordell Firebrace, their only son, was elected a knight of the shire for Suffolk in 1737, and continued to represent the county till his death in 1759.

09 Feb 1609-10 Robert Sandy, of St Martin Outwich, London, Merchant, Widower, & Margaret Barnes, of St Swithin's, London, widow of Bartholomew Barnes, late of same, Mercer; at St Martin Outwich aforesaid.
Luton Hoo
From 1601 it was to remain in the hands of one family for nearly 150 years. In 1530, Alexander Napier [1500-1588], younger son of Sir Alexander Napier of Merchiston in Scotland [killed at Flodden 1513], family of the Earls of Lennox, moved to Exeter and later to London. His son Robert [1560-1637] apparently matched his father?s entrepreneurial skill gaining significant wealth, in his case, as a turkey merchant.
A contemporary account, quoted in the authoritative 1928 work of W. Austin [See ? More to Read] records that Luton Hoo was acquired in 1601 by Robert Sandy, who later took the name Napier. This misunderstands the identification of this line of the large family by virtue of the dominance of Alexanders as the "Sandy" Napiers.
Robert was present when King James I [VI of Scotland] visited Sir John Rotherham in 1605 and was recognised as a man of substance who might support court finances.
Following or possibly during a Royal Progress in 1611 during which the King stayed at Luton Hoo, Robert was made Baronet, for which favour he contributed £1,200 towards plantations in Ulster, plus the funding of 30 soldiers for 3 years at 3d per man per day.
The Manor of Luton, which had been in the Rotherham family from 1477 was purchased by Sir Robert Napier in 1614. Records indicate that he increased the Luton Hoo Estate with the purchase of local property in West Hyde, Newmill End and Rinsford, Hill, Stapleford, Brache and Limbury Farms along with Lawleys Church house, Harts Horn and 4 tenements on Tower Hill in Luton.

...The manor, which had been leased to John Harford for 80 years in 1533, (fn. 102) was leased by the Crown in 1564 to Thomas Chamberlayne and in 1574 to Robert, Earl of Leicester; in the early 17th century it was disputed who the rightful lessee was. (fn. 103) By 1612 Prestbury manor was said to be held in chief by Reginald Nicholas (d. 1612), (fn. 104) who was apparently a servant of John Chamberlayne, (fn. 105) Thomas's son. Thomas Nicholas, son and heir of Reginald Nicholas, conveyed Prestbury to Elizabeth Craven, widow of Sir William Craven, and others in 1622. In 1630 it passed to her son William Craven, (fn. 106) though Thomas Nicholas was said to be seised of the manor at his death in 1639 (fn. 107) and his co-heirs were dealing with the manor-house in 1647.

Fifth in descent from this John was Sir Thomas Chamberlain of Prestbury in Gloucestershire, who was Ambassador to Spain in three different reigns;-under Henry VIII., Edward VI., and Elizabeth. He was also three times married. His first wife, a Dutchwoman said to be of kin to the House of Nassau, was childless; but by the second he was ancestor of the Chamberlains of Maugersbury, and by the third (Anne Monck, a great-aunt of the Duke of Albemarle's), of the Chamberlains of Oddington.

The testator was in some way connected with the house of Manners, and which strengthens the conjecture that he was uncle to Elizabeth Lovel, daughter of Sir Robert Lovel, Knight, the first wife of Thomas Manners Lord Roos, mentioned in this will.
Sir Thomas Lovell died at his house of Elsyngs at Enfield 25th May 1524, according to Busweirs Knights of the Garter, but according to the note to Nichols's Royal Wills, p.:1661 in 1528, and which is supported by the date of the probate, and was buried in the nunnery of Haliwell, conformable' to the directions in his will: it would appear that he had no issue.

Will of Sir Walter Hungerford or Hungerforde 11 January 1597 PROB 11/89
In 1554 he married his first wife, Anne Bassett, maid of honour to Queen Mary. Anne Bassett died in 1557. In 1558 he married Anne Dormer daughter of Sir William Dormer of Ascot, by whom he had four children - a son, Edmund (d. 1587), and three daughters. In 1570 his second wife was charged with trying to poison him some years previously - something his mother had accused his father of doing to her. She was also charged with committing adultery between 1560 and 1568 with William Darrell of Littlecote.[1]
Lady Hungerford was acquitted, and Lord Hungerford, refusing to pay the heavy costs, was committed to the Fleet Prison. She soon wanted protection for her children from her husband's endeavours to disinherit them. He left his property to his brother Sir Edward Hungerford, with remainder to his male heirs by a mistress, Margery Brighte, with whom he went through the ceremony of marriage in the last year of his life, although Lady Hungerford was still alive. After his death Lady Hungerford recovered "reasonable dower" from her brother-in-law, Sir Edward, and died at Louvain in 1603.

Will of Sir William Garrard of Dorney, Buckinghamshire 24 December 1607 PROB 11/110
Sir William Garrard held Dorney (fn.44) until his death in 1607,(fn.45) having settled it on his wife Elizabeth for life with reversion to their son and heir Thomas. (fn. 46) Arrangements were made in 1609 whereby Elizabeth Garrard gave up her manorial rights in return for a fixed payment,100 loads of wood and the use of the manor-house. (fn.47) Thomas Garrard had married Dorothy daughter of Sir William Clarke of Hitcham(q.v.), against the wish of his father, who by his will forgave his son's 'unkind disobedience' and says that his wife will reward Thomas and Dorothy if they alter their 'untaymed courses of undutifull cariage' towards her. (fn.48) Thomas Garrard had occasion to regret his obstinacy. (fn.49) The father and daughter combined to thrust him out of his inheritance, ... his wife sent him a message 'that if he lay in the streets and starved, he should not have a groat for his releife of her.' In 1616 Thomas Garrard brought an action to recover the estate and to prevent the further waste and destruction of the woods, and stated that he was willing to receive his wife, though she had led 'a kind of eloped life' for six years. (fn.50) Their family troubles were doubtless the cause of the sale of Dorney by Thomas Garrard and his brothers in 1624 to Thomas and Richard Palmer, (fn. 51) who appear to have been acting as trustees for James Palmer, (fn. 52) third son of Sir Thomas Palmer, bart., of Wingham (fn. 53)and brother-in-law of the Garrards.

By his will, dated 1651 and proved in 1653, Hammond left certain messuages in St. Mary le Bow parish which he had purchased from Thomas Lock to his 5 children Edmund, Rebecca, Katharine, Martha, and Jane, who were to pay an annuity of £10 for 60 years to Hammond's daughter Mary, wife of John Bullock, butcher. Hammond's widow Martha successfully asserted her right of dower in the messuages and was in possession of the property at the time of the Great Fire (see below). The property bequeathed by Hammond consisted of a group of messuages 'commonly called the George Yard' held by 7 tenants (23B), a tenement towards the street held by Simon Leeson, citizen and barber surgeon (probably part of 24E), a tenement where Hammond himself lived (probably part of 24E and 25-6), and a shop held by Richard Russell (probably part of 24E and 25-6)

By the mid 17th century this property had probably passed from the Lock family into the possession of Simon Hammond, cook, who also owned the northernmost part of 24 (see 24E). In 1638 Hammond was tithe-payer for a house in Bow Lane worth £20 a year which probably occupied part of the site of 25-6 and part of 24E. By his will, dated 1651 and proved in 1653, he left the house where he lived and a shop held by Richard Russell (probably part of 25-6) to 5 of his children; his widow Martha later claimed the property as dower (for details, see 23B)...In 1669 the 'ground of one whole house' which probably represented the site of 25-6 was purchased for £120 from Mrs. Martha Hammond and her children in order to enlarge Bow Lane.

On the part of Henry Chamberleyne
Depositions (abstract):
Sir John Chamberleyne (Chamblayne) said that Thomas Gamond, in the life time of his late master, Mr Cleyton, entreated Mr Cleyton and some of Chamberleyne's friends that he might be presented at the next vacancy to the Rectory of Oddington which belonged to Chamberleyne. Four or five days before he died, in the presence of Mr Gamond, Mr Cleyton entreated Chamberleyne to present Gamond to the Rectory of Oddington and promised that Gamond would hold the Rectory on the same terms as he had which was £40 yearly to be paid to Chamberleyne. The Rectory is worth £80 per annum. Chamberleyne promised to present Gamond and did so. Mr Cleyton died about May 1607. He knows that Gamond was suitor to his brother, Thomas Chamberlen, gentleman, to present Gamond to the Rectory on the same terms. His brother signified as much to him by letters and otherwise. In the end Chamberleyne did present Gamond who promised to seal and deliver a lease to Chamberleyne of all the profits and emoluments of the Rectory at a rent of £40 per annum. The lease was made ready to be sealed but Gamond did not seal it. Francis Garner told him that Gamond promised him that he would accept £40 for the Rectory and although some had told him that when he was in possession of the benefice he might keep it wholly to himself he would not but would be contented with £40 in lieu of all the tithes. Since he was inducted Gamond confessed to Chamberleyne that he endeavoured to get the King's Majesty's pardon for committing simony in obtaining the Rectory and had been with the Bishop of Gloucester to get his Lordship's hand to further that business but could not get it and the pardon could not do him good without his Lordship's hand. Francis Garner, one of Chamberleyne's servants, told him that since his induction Gamond wished him to gather all the tithes that were due for the use only of Chamberleyne and that he expected no more than £40. Shortly after the death of Cleyton Chamberlayne went to Mr Denis Drurye with a letter from Cleyton entreating his help to procure the Rectory for Gamond. Chamberlayne cannot remember whether he said he would bestow the Rectory on Gamond freely or not. After he had procured the Bishop of Gloucester's fiat for Gamond's induction he remembers saying to him, " Now, Mr parson, you see how kindly I have dealt with you I hope you will perform the promise you and your master made me." He never had speech with Mr Jones of the Star Chamber nor told him he had bestowed the Rectory freely. When there were differences between them Gamond procured Mr Greenewood to confer with him and he told him that he would do well to cause Mr Gamond to make an end with him. He was in London when Cleyton died. Gamond came to London and promised to accept £40 per annum if he was presented to the Rectory. Since Gamond was inducted Chamberlayne has had the tithes belonging to the Rectory for his own use. He has confessed that Gamond had committed simony with him, Chamberlayne. In his last sickness Cleyton earnestly requested him, as ever there had been kindness between them, to be good unto that poor soul, Mr Gamond, after his decease and he would pawn his soul that Gamond would deal as bountifully with Chamberlayne as he had done. This was said in the presence of Mr Thomas Chamberleyne, the younger, Mr Stephen Porter, Bartholomew Smithe and Francis Garner.
Thomas Chamberlayne said that Henry Cleyton often asked him to be a means to Sir John, his brother, to present Thomas Gamond after Cleyton's death and he promised he would. When Cleyton was in his last sickness he went to his brother and asked him to visit Cleyton which he did. Thomas Chamberleyne's account of the conversation with Cleyton and who witnessed it agrees with Sir John's. After Cleyton's death Gamond visited Thomas Chamberlayne and said he would accept the Rectory for £40 per annum and would make a lease of all the tithes to Sir John. Thomas told him that Mr Cleyton had had a room in the parsonage house at Oddington but that Gamond would not and Gamond said he was content. He wrote a letter for Gamond to give to Sir John entreating him to present Gamond to the Rectory. Before Gamond went to London he questioned Thomas as to how he might avoid simony because he had promised to make a lease and how he might avoid taking the oath that he had committed no acts of simony in obtaining the Rectory. Thomas said he should acquaint Sir John with this and he would direct him what to do. After Gamond was inducted he told Thomas he had sought to procure the King's Majesty's pardon but had not obtained it. Gamond had brought the letter dated 19 June 1607 mentioned in this article to him unsealed and asked him to read it then seal it and convey it to Sir John which he did. As for the contents he refers himself to the letter itself. He has heard Sir John say that he had committed simony with Gamond. Thomas has told some parishioners that there was another clerk presented to the Rectory by the King's Majesty and therefore he wished them to detain their tithes until it was sure who should enjoy the place. Mr Henry Chamberlayne, the plaintiff, caused him to go to Mr Penny, his proctor, and tell him what he could say on this business.
Bartholomew Smithe (Smythe) agreed with other accounts of Cleyton's sickbed. As Sir John's steward, Smithe has received an account from Francis Gardner concerning the tithes of the Rectory received by Sir John since Gamond's induction.
Francis Gardner thinks the Rectory of Oddington is worth about £100 per annum. In the lifetime of Cleyton Gamond had asked Gardner to speak to Sir John that he might have the rectory after Cleyton's death and he had done so. After Gamond's induction Mr Tidmarshe told him he might take possession of the tithes for the use of Sir John. He believes Sir John did not intend to bestow the rectory freely on Gamond. By order of Sir John he had openly told parishioners not to pay tithes to Gamond because they were at difference about the tithes. Sir John is his master and is indebted to Gardner for above £20. He offered to lay a wager of £10 to 10 shillings that Gamond would not keep the parsonage. He and Thomas Chamberleyne had gone together to Mr Penny, proctor for Henry Chamberleyne, and told him what they would say and gave him instructions. Level Piece HeldAt Gloucestershire Archives

Worcestershire Regiment: Major-General Farrington Documents (1694 to 1710)
...possibly unique, relating to the raising and equipment of the 1st Battalion Worcestershire Regiment on its first formation in 1694 and during the years immediately after that date. These documents were presented to the Regiment in 1935 by the direct descendant of the first Colonel of the Regiment, Major-General Thomas Farrington.
Major-General Farrington was himself the son of a Mr. Thomas Farrington, of Bertie Place, Chislehurst, Kent, who married in 1663 Mary, the sister of the Right Honourable John Smith of Tedworth (now known to the Army as Tidworth), Hampshire, afterwards Chancellor of the Exchequer to King William III and Speaker in the first two Parliaments of Queen Anne. They had one son Thomas, who entered the Army, serving in the Coldstream Guards, and in 1687 held the rank of Captain in that regiment. In those days, however, also long afterwards, officers of the Foot Guards enjoyed an honorary rank as compared with the rest of the Army; a Lieutenant in the Foot Guards ranked as a Major in the Army and a Captain as a Lieut.-Colonel, (the last remnant of this still surviving is that a subaltern of the Foot Guards wears on the peak of his cap a gold band like that of a Major of the Line) so that Thomas Farrington held the latter rank in the Army when in 1687 he married Miss Theodosia Bettenson. About the same period his sister married one of his brother officers in the Coldstream Guards, Captain and Lieut.-Colonel William Selwyn.

Will of Thomas Hopkins, Yeoman of Chilton Foliat , Berkshire 11 April 1770 PROB 11/956
Wiltshire Memorial Inscriptions:
Day: 28 Month: Jan Year: 1770 Age: 49 Forenames: Thomas Surname: HOPKINS Place: Chilton Foliat County: Wiltshire Country: England Reference: 128532 Notes: of Haywood Farm husb of Mary
This parish history by John Chandler is taken from his books ‘Marlborough and Eastern Wiltshire’ (Hobnob Press, 2001, £20.00, ISBN 0 946418 07 1) and ‘Devizes and Central Wiltshire’ (Hobnob Press, 2003, £20.00, ISBN 0 946418 16 0).
...Also in the street is the Wheatsheaf Inn, a Methodist chapel of 1796, rebuilt in 1932 and now closed, an eighteenth-century mill, with miller’s house, malthouse and nearby tanyard, and on the corner Bridge House. This is a remarkable building, which cannot be appreciated from the road. Its south front, overlooking the river and hidden by trees from public gaze, was built in 1766, according to the date on rainwater heads, and appears to have been an unsuccessful or short-lived attempt by a certain Thomas and Mary Hopkins to operate an assembly room, perhaps by converting an earlier inn.

Name of Creator: Chilton Estate, Hungerford, Berkshire
Language of Material: English.
The Chilton Estate lies in the parishes of Great Shefford, Berkshire, Hungerford, Berkshire and Chilton Foliat, Wiltshire. For many years, it was held by the Whitelocke family, one of whom, Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605-1675), played an active part in politics during the period of the Civil War and Commonwealth. He died at Chilton Lodge in 1675 (see Dictionary of national biography, v. 61, p. 110 ff). In the 18th century, the estate was sold to John Zephaniah Holwell (1711-1798) one of the survivors of the Black Hole of Calcutta, who subsequently became Governor of Bengal, (see Dictionary of national biography, v. 27, p. 212 ff). Early in the 19th century, it became the property of John Pearse, who demolished the old mansion and built the present one from designs by Pilkington. The mansion was enlarged and almost completely reconstructed between 1890 and 1892 by Sir William George Pearce, who bought the estate in 1890. Since 1908 it has been held by members of the Ward family.
In 1908 the estate comprised about 2,332 acres, and included eight farms: Old Hayward Farm (432 acres), New Hayward Farm (380 acres), Little Hidden Farm (171 acres), North Hidden Farm (364 acres), Chilton Park Farm (182 acres), Folly Farm (184 acres), Upper Eddington Farm (66 acres) and Eddington Farm. Of these, Little Hidden Farm, New Hayward Farm and Old Hayward Farm were cultivated in 1908 by the owner; the remainder were leased. Soil: chiefly loam with chalk subsoil

Will of Thomas Leveson of Hawlynge, Kent 30 October 1576 PROB 11/58
Description: Thomas Leveson was the son of Nicholas Leveson (c. 1490-1539) and his wife Denise (Dionysia) Bodley. Whereas his cousin Richard inherited his father James Leveson’s lands in Trentham and Lilleshall, Thomas inherited his own father Nicholas Leveson’s lands in Kent.
Thomas’s will indicates that he was closely connected with Kent, stating that he wished to be buried alongside his late wife, Ursula Gresham in ‘the churche of Buckeston in Kent’. The will also states that Thomas owned ‘landes, tenements and hereditamentes’ in ‘the Counties of Essex Kente, Staffordshire and London’.
Like other contemporary wills, Thomas Leveson’s will tells us much about the places he was associated with in Kent and Staffordshire, and also provides information about family relationships and the importance of family lineage at this time.
Thomas Leveson’s will also tells us about his family, notably that he had nine daughters. His will states that he wished to leave two thousand pounds in order to give his ‘younger sonne William Leveson’ and his ‘nyne daughters...two hundred pounds a pece’. The will also refers to his older son John Leveson, who was given the responsibility of overseeing that the bequests in the will were executed, and also responsible for overseeing his ‘funeralles’. The will also states that John was to receive the remainder of his father’s ‘goodes chattelles and debtes’, which he was responsible for paying.
Thomas Leveson’s will reflects the closeness of relations between the Leveson family. Thomas refers to ‘Legacyes of twentye poundes’ left to his children ‘by the last will and testament of Dionyse Leveson my mother deceassed’. In a further bequest, Thomas refers to ‘my lovinge brother in lawe John Gresham’ to whom he leaves ten pounds, alongside his brother William Leveson. Thomas Leveson’s will reflects the value of wills in providing a range of information about families and family relationships.
In addition to his extensive lands, Thomas Leveson’s will indicates that he had close connections with merchants. Many of his friends named in the will and given financial responsibilities are merchants, such as ‘Arthure Duwbreye of London murchante taylor’
Thomas Leveson’s will portrays him as a wealthy landowner associated with mercantile trade, who was concerned with providing for his family and the places he was closely associated with during his lifetime.
Like his uncle James Leveson, Thomas makes many benevolent bequests. He states ‘I will there shalbe bestowed emongest the poore people which shalbe at my buryall Tenne poundes or more’. He also made provision for money to be distributed ‘amongest the poore people inhabitinge within the severall parishes of Buckeston, and Hawlynge’. His benevolence and association with Kent, particularly Buckston and Halling, are evident in this bequest.
Like his predecessors, Thomas Leveson’s will states that he left money to his servants. However, Thomas is particularly generous is this respect, leaving ‘fortye shillings a pece’ to ‘everye man servante’ and ‘twentie shillings a pece’ to ‘everye woman servant’. It is significant that Thomas Leveson’s description of his servants also reflects a concern with his legacy. His bequest relates to ‘everye of my servants dwellinge with me in my house or wearinge my Lyverye’. Thomas’s servants evidently wore his livery, clothing which identified them with his household, indicating that the identity and legacy of the Leveson family were important to him.
Mentions sons William and John and 9 daughter, not named?

Francis Shirley was son of Sir Thomas Shirley of West Grinstead (second son of Ralph Shirley, of Wiston, who died 1545), by his wife, Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Marmaduko Georges alias Russell, of Gloucestershire. The Manor of West Grinstead was granted to him in 1549 on the attainder of Thomas. Seymour, Baron Seymour of Sudley, to whom it had been granted in fee farm in the first year of Edward VI. He was Sheriff of Surrey and Sussex in 1574. Little else has been preserved concerning him, but it appears in Edward the VI.'s reign he had a difficulty with Lord la Warre concerning certain land called Estcourt, said to be parcel of the Manor of Kneppe, but really belonging io West Grinstead. In the reign of Elizabeth we find him Lessee of the " Chappil House or Seller " on the south side of Bramber Bridge, with the land adjoining, granted
to him by the College of St. Mary Magdalene at Oxford, for a term of fifty years. He married Barbara, second daughter of Sir Richard Blount, of MapleDurham, Oxon, Knt., Lieutenant of the Tower of London, by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Richard Lyster, Lord Chief Justice, King's Bench. Francis Shirley died March 1577,
seized of Boddington, Howe Court, and West Grinstead in Sussex,
and of Hatherley in Somerset ; and left a son, Thomas, then 22
years of age. He was buried at West Grinstead, 24th March,
1577, by the side of his wife, Barbara, who pre-deceased him and was buried 28th February, 1563, both burials being recorded in the registers.

Thomas Shirley mentioned in father's 1509 Will. 2nd son Inherited West Grinstead Sussex
Thomas Shirley, who inherited lands in Buckinghamshire as well as at Beeding and Broadwater in Sussex, founded a branch of the family at West Grinstead. In 1510 he acquired the wardship and marriage of Elizabeth and Maud Gorges, and he afterwards married Elizabeth. Nine years later he shared the wardship and marriage of Francis Dawtrey, heir of Sir John Dawtrey , Shirley’s predecessor in his customs post
He made his will on 21 Sept. 1534, some two weeks before the opening of the seventh session of the Parliament of 1529. After several small bequests to local churches, he provided for his wife, children, kinsmen and servants and named his wife executrix and Sir Edward Bray , his ‘son’ Henry Browne and Richard Lister supervisors. Almost ten years later, on 28 Apr. 1544, he added a codicil devising his recently acquired property on his two sons and died the same day. His widow suppressed the will and took all his goods (valued at £600) into her hands. She also refused to honour his debts, including one of £52 owed to John Michell II from the profits taken of his lands during his minority. In August 1557 Elizabeth Shirley died intestate and William, her second son, was appointed to administer his father’s will and his mother’s estate, itself valued at £200. Thus Thomas Shirley’s will was not proved until September 1557.5

The will of Alice Hampton of Frisby, widow, proved at the PCC on 28 January 1577/8 reveals her to have been the Archbishop's mother. The preamble is rather bemusing, viz:
"I bequeath my soul to the everlasting God my creator and redeemer; my body to the earth; my love to my friends, and my sins to the devil."
She names her sons Christopher, William, Thomas, Francis and Edward; her mother Elizabeth Coprott; her brother Henry Planckney; her son Thomas Southwick (and grandchildren Margaret, Henry & Anne Southwick) and her son[in-law] Richard Fairfax, and his children George, Katherine, Elizabeth and Bridget.
According to the IGI, Margaret Southwick married Richard Fairfax, and had children, baptised at Coningsby, Lincolnshire between 1564 and 1580. Richard Fairfax was also a merchant of the Staple [see MON 3/29/10, Lincs Archives per A2A].
Alice apparently married firstly a Mr Southwick, and secondly John Hampton, who was dead by 1577. Her brother Henry Planckney was another merchant of the Staple [see D-C13/52, Centre for Bucks Studies per A2A]; Henry Planckney, merchant of the Staple, whose will was proved at the PCC on 23 August 1535 is probably a relative.
I believe his mother's first husband was Henry Southwich, merchant of the Staple of Calais, whose will was proved at the PCC in 1551.

Will of Thomas Stephens Burythropp, Wiltshire Date range:02 July 1596 - 02 July 1596 Reference:PROB 11/88/6 : youngest son John Stephens, wants to be buried at Chiseldon, poor of Inglesham and Chiseldon, wife Dorothy, my wifes children, some unmarried, my sons and daughter, some unmarried, Thomas Stephens my second son.
...conveyed the manor together with lands, tenements, and rents in Chiseldon, Hodson, and Burderop to Thomas (II)Stephens in 1579. (fn. 88) Before his death in 1596 Thomas(II) settled the manor and rectory upon his second wife Dorothy for life. After Dorothy's death the manor passed to Nicholas Stephens, the eldest son of Thomas (II), although it seems that his brotherThomas (III) disputed the succession unsuccessfully. (fn. 89) Nicholas Stephens died in 1611 and was succeeded by his son Thomas (IV) Stephens (d. c.1631), (fn. 90) who in 1619 conveyed the manor to trustees.
....in 1561 received a licence to alienate the capitalmessuage of Burderop Farm, together with Monkebaron grange and the tithes of both, to Thomas (II)Stephens of Burderop. (fn. 112) In 1561-2 the conveyancetook place when messuages and lands in Burderop were transferred to Thomas (II) Stephens, (fn. 113) who died seised of Burderop Farm in 1596. (fn. 114) Before his death he had settled Burderop upon his first wifeElizabeth (d. 1574) as her jointure, with the intentionthat after his death his third son John should stand seised of the estate for the payment of legacies. (fn. 115) After this period the property was to remain to his eldest son Nicholas in tail male. (fn. 116) On the death of Thomas (II) Stephens trouble arose over the term of 6 years assigned to John. (fn. 117) In 1596 Nicholas and John Stephens agreed that Nicholas should have peaceful possession of the manor house of Burderop,together with demesne and parkland for the 6-year term, but the following year dissention arose and Nicholas accused his brother of wasting the park and reviving an old lease granted to Thomas Stephens (see below) in order to circumvent the6-year term. (fn. 118) The dispute must have been resolved satisfactorily, since in 1611 Nicholas Stephens died seised of the manor and farm of Burderop, (fn. 119) and was succeeded by his son Thomas (IV) Stephens. (fn. 120) The estate thereafter followed the descent of the main manor and passed into the Calley family with whom it remained.
...The Stephens family, who later acquired the freehold (see above), leased the Burderop estate in the16th century. In 1537 Thomas Stephens, already described as of Burderop, together with his sons Thomas and Nicholas, leased the site of the manor there and a grange called 'Monkebaron' from Hyde Abbey.

Giles Strangways’s grandfather was the first of the family to settle in Dorset, having been persuaded to leave Yorkshire by Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset. Melbury Sampford, which became the family residence, was acquired by Giles’s father Henry through his second marriage to the widow of William Browning of Melbury; five years after Henry’s death his son had a house in London and property in eight counties and the Isle of Wight. The estates in Dorset were to be further increased by a grant in 1543 of the dissolved abbey of Abbots-bury and the manors of Abbotsbury and East Elworth, for which Strangways paid nearly £2,000.4

Hungerford Virtual Museum: History of 24 High Street, Hungerford
1563 (NH) John Collyns and Edward Collyns (mercer in linen and sugar) As early as 1563 John Collins and his wife Joan demised the property to two London businessmen, Anthony Gamage and Thomas Wade. Unknown to these mortgagors Collins then entered into a bond of recognisance in statute staple with Thomas Fashion, a Southampton merchant, and forfeited it to his brother Edward Collins, in partnership with John as mercers dealing in linen and sugar, was equally involved. Hence the entry in the 1573 town survey which declares that "John Collins together with Edward Collins hold by partition, as tenants in dower and by statute merchant, to Thomas Fashion of Southampton … as the only estate of the freehold of Anthony Gamage of London, merchant" which I take to mean that the whole ("only") freehold belonged to Gamage, that the tenancy was shared equally ("in partition") between the two partners and that it was held in dower on behalf of John's wife, Joan, as the property she had brought to her husband on marriage.
1575 (NH) (No 24HS) John Collins was murdered. His share of the property seems to have passed to Edward. The parish Register states it succinctly: "22 August buried John Collins who was murthered by John Whitte the shoemaker". There are no further details of this murder known to survive. John Collins died intestate, and an inventory of his possessions was exhibited in the court of the ..?.. on behalf of his widow by his brother Edward.
1584 (NH)(*1) (DL1/129/5) John Collins had married Joan, daughter and heir of Thomas Hedache and so inherited 2 messuages, lands etc. sometime in occupation or tenure of William Lovelake and John Cooke. In 1563 they mortgaged the property to Anthony Gamage and Thomas Wade. Gamage died and in 1582 Wade assured the premises to William Gamage.
