    1304 ELIZABETH SCROPE (d.1544)
    Elizabeth Scrope was one of the four daughters and co-heiresses of Robert Scrope of Hambledon, Buckinghamshire (1446-August 25, 1500) and Katherine Zouche. Her sisters were Agnes (m. Thomas Redmayn/Redman), Margaret (a nun at Barking), and Anne. Elizabeth married c.1500 Sir John Perche/Pechey/Pechie/Peach/Peachey/Percehay of Lullingstone Castle, Kent (1473-1522), who was the first lieutenant of the Gentlemen Pensioners in 1509 and a champion in the lists, bearing a standard of tawny with the crest of a lion’s head crowned with ermine and the words “in everything.” Elizabeth was in the households of both Elizabeth of York and Catherine of Aragon and received a pension from Henry VIII. She provided a refuge at Lullingstone Castle for her cousin, Margaret Scrope, Countess of Suffolk (d.1515), during Margaret’s final years. After her husband died, leaving her life interest in most of his properties, she settled an annuity on Percival Hart, his nephew, who was to inherit after her death. She later revoked this annuity, after which (c.1535) Hart accused her of wasting his inheritance by selling items he was supposed to inherit. The matter went to arbitration by Lord Cromwell and Elizabeth was obliged to sign a bond to Hart. Childless, in a will made August 1, 1541 with a codicil May 27, 1544, she left her sister Agnes Redman plate, pewter, a bed, and other goods and made her co-executor. It was proved July 22, 1544. She also left bequests to her other two sisters. There are numerous bequests to friends and servants, as well. The will can be found at Oxford-Shakespeare.com

    "Early in the nineteenth century the existing Manor House was built by Mr. John Young, the then owner of the property, on the site of some old cottages. He died at the age of 64, in July 1837, and was buried at Marden. His daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Susanna, married Mr. Stephen Richmund Neate, and died in December 1840, aged 30 years: her husband survived until July 1874 : both rest
    at Marden. The property at his death passed to his daughter and heiress, Mrs. Johnson, who eventually parted with it to Mr. George Harris, of Calne, whose trustees sold it by auction in July last, the Manor House being purchased by Mr. J, Warwick Kingstone, who had occupied it for many years, and the Manor Farm by Mrs. Wells, widow of Mr. James Wells, of Wedhampton.(Wiltshire Notes and

    1308 Elizabeth, the second daughter of Sir John Danvers, married, during her father's life, Sir John Abarowe, or d'Abarow, son and heir of Sir Morrice Abarowe (Aske's pedigree of Danvers), of the ancient family of that name, long seated at Dichett and Northborough in Somerset. Sir John and his wife were both alive in 1539 when Dame Ann Danvers made her will, and had then a daughter, Mary, to whom her grandmother left 10 towards her marriage to pray for her. The 'Visitation of Warwick' (Cat. No. 438), in the library of Caius College, Cambridge, states that Elizabeth married first Burrowe (one of the many ways of spelling Abarowe), and, secondly, Lord Audley; but the latter match does not appear in the Audley family's tables of descent.

    ...Sir Giles Strangways (the elder), son of Henry, married Joan, daughter of Sir William Mordaunt, of Bedfordshire, and was the first of the family that possessed both Melburys. On the death of Henry Trenchard and Anne, his wife, widow of the last William Bruning, he became possessed of Melbury Osmund. He obtained a grant (35 Henry VIII.) for £1,096 of the site of the monastery at Abbotsbury, the manor and lands there, the fishery of the Fleet, etc. He also owned at his death the manor and advowson of Mappowder, the manors of Burton and Charlton, in Charminster. He died in 1546, and was buried at Melbury, being the first of the family there buried.


    History of Parliament Online:
    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.
    The premature death of Strangways’s son left him at the age of nearly 60 with a 16 year-old grandson, another Giles Strangways as his heir. He was not the only one to foresee the possibility that he would die within the next five years and the King thereupon claimed rights of wardship and marriage over his heir; when in August 1546 he was rumoured to be dying, Sir Richard Rich secured a grant of the wardship directly from the crown. In the event Strangways lived long enough to arrange his grandson’s marriage and to set up a trust in part of his lands for the young man and his wife; when he died, on 11 Dec. 1546, he left an heir still under age but protected against the worst risks of wardship. By his will, made on 20 Sept. 1546, Strangways also provided for his two daughters, his younger grandson and grand-daughters, and his bastard son Thomas Symonds. He bequeathed £6 13s. 4d. a year for two years for a priest to say mass for the repose of his soul and the souls of his wife and son, £20 to Baron Russell and £10 each to Sir John Horsey (his fellow-knight in 1529 and 1539) and John Tregonwell to help the executors and overseers of his will. He was buried at Melbury Sampford, where an inscription commemorates him and his wife.

    There are few records in this group besides estate records relating directly to the Ellenborough family.
    The second group consists of records of families related to the Bagehot Delabere family by marriage. A pedigree found with D1637/T32 helps to elucidate these relationships. There are the Hoby family of Badsey, Worcs., linked by the marriage of Richard Delabere and Margaret Hoby, 1608 (marriage settlement, D1637/F9), the Neale family of Bedfordshire and Essex linked by the marriage of Kennard Delabere and Hester Neale (before 1734, pedigree in D1637/T32) and the Stephens family of Upper Lypiatt linked by the marriages of John Delabere (1640-1691) and Anne daughter of John Stephens and of William Bagehot Delabere and Hester, daughter of Thomas Stephens of Upper Lypiatt (married at Old Sodbury, 1726). This group also contains a grant of arms to the Baron alias Barne family of Essex (F 11). While this document seems to be of the same group as the Neale family, no evidence has been found for any relationship.

    SAMUEL NORTON, of Lyge, 2 Somerset, Esq. Will dated Jan. 1, ^ 1615, proved Feb. 8, 1620, by the Exors. [16 Da/e.] To my daughter Elizabeth Seaman, £$ for a piece of plate. My daughter Joan Courte, ^"io yearly. My son Samuel Norton. To Hugh Norton, his son, £5 for a piece of plate. Residue to my son George Norton & his daughter Grace, they to be Exors. Mr Thomas Morgan & Samuel Davies, preacher of God's Word, Overseers.

    Charles Rogers, married Miss Elizabeth Seaman (of Court-House) in Painswick Church (July 30, 1629). Her father, Dr Seaman, had been buried in the Chancel six years before, on June 30, 1623; and her mother, Elizabeth (Norton) in August, 1625; while her eldest brother had married Anne in 1626. Seaman's Will (Cf. P.C.C., Oct. 7, 1622) had provided for the event rather quaintly : " If it happen my sonne Samuell to marry, that then hee and his wife shall have their habitation in my newe dwelling Mansion-House in Payneswicke, payinge reeson- ablie for their diet for themselves and their company." Samuel, however, enjoyed but a brief married life. He died there in 1632, leaving a son by his wife, who presently married Mr John Trye of Hardwicke, who came to reside with her at Painswick. 1

(fn.28) His son and heir John Iwardby granted the manor in 1475 to Roger Gery, sub-dean of the college of Wallingford (co.

    My wife and myself visited Chaddleworth this summer during the course of researching her family (Lanfear). This family originated in Wiltshire and spread into the surrounding counties (and much further). The churchyard at Chaddleworth contains the tombs of some of the first Lanfears to come into Berkshire from Wiltshire. Most notable being Ambrose Lanfear (b.1717) married to Martha Brown in 1746. There are also other family members buried in the churchyard including Thomas Lanfear who married Lucretia Burbidge in 1809 . They lived in Hungerford, but were buried in Chaddleworth. Some later infant deaths in the family were buried with their great-grandparents, Ambrose and Martha. Later family members were buried in nearby Avington, includingWalter Francis Lanfear (b.1818) who was the Vicar at Avington for many years.

    Publication: A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume XVII
    ...Stanley abbey's estate in Berwick Bassett passed to the Crown on the dissolution of the abbey in 1536, and in that year it was granted to Edward Seymour, (Footnote 64) Viscount Beauchamp...Bailey (d. 1749) devised the whole manor of Berwick Bassett to his cousin Giles Bailey (fl. 1753) and Giles's issue, with reversion to Thomas Nalder, John Nalder, Ambrose Lanfear, and Elizabeth Mace. (Footnote 76) Giles had evidently died without issue by 1767. (Footnote 77) By will proved 1756 Thomas Nalder devised his interest to John (Footnote 78) (will proved 1768), (Footnote 79) who bought Elizabeth Mace's interest in 1762 and was succeeded by his son John. (Footnote 80) The younger John Nalder and Thomas Lanfear owned the manor in 1767, (Footnote 81) and by 1814 Nalder had acquired Lanfear's interest. (Footnote 82) Nalder (d. 1821) (Footnote 83) was succeeded by his son John (d. 1832), whose daughters Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Martha inherited Berwick Bassett manor as tenants in common. Mary, wife of Henry Stratton, Elizabeth, wife of Robert Cooper, and Sarah, wife of Robert Gibbons, shared Martha's interest after her death in 1837, (Footnote 84) and they or their heirs or trustees sold the manor in 1875 to Sir Henry Meux, Bt. (d. 1883).

    1337 Father:
    Yorkshire, Skipton
    With Garter round each shield - "Of your charite pray for the soule of Sir Henry Clifford knyght of the most noble order of the Garter, Earle of Cumberland sumtyme Governor of the town and castle of Carlisle and President of the King's Council in the North. Also of Margaret hys wyfe daughter of Sir Henry Percy, knyght Earle of Northumberland whyche Sir Henry departed thys lyfe the xxii daye of April in the yere of our Lord God MCCCCXLII on whose soules Jesu have mercy Amen"

    Margaret was his second wife, they had 2 sons and 3 daughters, the eldest Henry succeeded him as 2nd Earl, his eldest daughter was first married ot John Lord Scroop, secondly to Sir Richard Cholmeley.

    John Clifford was know for his hatred of the Yorkists and following his death at the battle of Towton his wife, Margaret, feared greatly for the safety of her two sons and she sent them into hiding to protect them from the wraith of the Yorkists. Richard, the youngest son, supposedly went to the Low Countries, where he shortly afterwards died. But Henry, the elder, only seven years old, and heir to his father's titles and estates, was either never taken out of England; or, if he were, he speedily returned, and was placed by his mother at Londesborough, in Yorkshire, with a trustworthy shepherd, the husband of a young woman who had been under-nurse to the boy whom she was now to adopt as her foster-son. Their mother was closely and peremptorily examined about them. She said, 'She had given direction to convey them beyond sea, to be bred up there; and that being thither sent, she was ignorant whether they were living or not'. Henry remained there until he was 14 and to maintain the secret he was not educated. That year a rumour reached the court of his being still alive and in England. Happily Lady Clifford had a friend at court, who forewarned her that the King had received an intimation of her son's place of concealment. With the assistance of her then husband, Sir Lancelot Threlkeld, Lady Clifford instantly removed 'the honest shepherd with his wife and family into Cumberland,' where he took a farm near the Scottish Borders. Here, though his mother occasionally held private communications with him, the young Lord Clifford passed fifteen years more, disguised and occupied as a common shepherd; and had the mortification of seeing his Castle and Barony of Shipton in the hands of his adversary, Sir William Stanley; and his Barony of Westmoreland possessed by the Duke of Gloucester, the king's brother.
    Henry VII defeated Richard III at Bosworth and Henry, the Shepherd Lord, now thirty-one years old, was restored to his estates and titles. Henry VII knighted him and he was summoned to Parliament from Sep 1485. He was also present with the King forces at Stoke . He was appointed commissioner of array against the Scots and in May 1486 he was made Steward of Middleton and employed to receive the remaining Yorkist rebels to allegiance.
    Henry assisted the Earl of Surrey in the relief of Norham Castle. He fought at Flodden in Sep 1513, he was one of the principal leaders, and brought to the field a numerous retinue, and even brought home to Skipton Castle some Scottish ordnance. He lent Henry VIII money for the French campaign in 1522 but he was too old to go himself.
    Having regained his property and position, he immediately began to repair his castles and improve his education. He quickly learnt to write his own name; and, to facilitate his studies, built Barden Tower, near Bolton Priory, that he might place himself under the tuition of some learned monks there, and apply himself to astronomy, and other favourite sciences of the period.
    His training as a warrior had been equally defective. Instead of being practised from boy-hood to the use of arms and the feats of chivalry, as was common with the youth of his own station, he had been trained to handle the shepherd's crook, and tend, and fold, and shear his sheep. Yet scarcely had he emerged from his obscurity and quiet pastoral life, when we find him become a brave and skilful soldier,-an able and victorious commander. He died on 23 Apr 1523. By his first wife Anne St. John, cousin to Henry VII , he left two sons, including HenryClifford(1ECumberland), his heir; and five daughter

    1338 Father: In the Church of St. Lawrence, Winchester, were recently the remains of a handsome mural monument for Thomas Coward, who married Grace, daughter and coheir of Thomas Moore of Hawkechurch, Dorset, and Spargrove, Somerset; among the debris of this monument others in the tower are the following shields: the coat of Leigh or Coward, as appended to the will of Thomas Coward above cited; also, Arg., a cross eng. betw. twelve billets gu., Heath; also, Gu., a lion ramp. per fess indent erm. and erminois, Stokes; and, Az., a chev. betw. three pears pendant or, Orchard. The coat of Leigh seems to have been occasionally used by Coward in place of their proper coat, namely, Or, on two bars sa. three roses, two and one, of the first. This last is cut on one of the battlements of Ditcheat Church with the date 1667, and these initials, C. C., for Christopher Coward of Ditcheat.....The first pedigree is headed by one Thomas Coward of Winchester who died in 1727 and whose son Thomas Coward of Spargrove in the county of Somerset had sons Thomas, William and John, the latter being of Wadham College, Oxford in 1741.....Collinson's History of Somerset 3 volumes, 1791:
    Spargrove is now the estate and seat of Thomas Coward, Esq. On the south side of the Church of St. Mary is an elegant mural monument of white, grey and Sienna marble inscribed: "Underneath lie the remains of Thomas Coward, Esq., and Mary his wife, of Spargrove in this county, who through a long life (if human life can be called long) practised those virtues which made them beloved when living, and lamented now dead. She died October 6, anno salutis 1766, aetat. 76; he May 7, 1773, aet. 86. Though strictly just, yet he was always inclined to pardon; though fond of ancient hospitality, yet not profuse; though mild, affable and courteous, yet honest and sincere. Both endeavoured to the best of their abilities, as parents, friends and Christians, to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with their God." Arms, Argent, on a chevron gules three martlets of the field, on a Chief of the second a chamber-piece or, Coward; impaling sable two bars argent, on a chief of the first a griffin or. (Presumably father and son were both named Thomas).
