    1951 Mayor of London.

    Will of Geoffrey Bullen
    London, June 14, 1463. My body to be buried in the Chapel of St. John, in the Church of St. Laurence in the Jury, London; otherwise in the Church of Blykling, in the Chapel of St. Thomas, if I die in Norfolk. To William, my son, now within age; to Thomas Bullen, my son; to Isabel, Ann, and Alice, my daughters, my lands in the parishes of Blykling, Holtham, Stukey, Mulburton, Kemsing, and Sele; to Dame Ann Hoo, my cousin, a nun at Berking. And I appoint Thomas Boleyn, my brother, my executor. Proved July 2d, 1463.

    .... Geoffrey Boleyn came from Salle, County Norfolk, but settled in London. He came from a relatively poor Norfolk family. Despite such humble beginnings and pursuing a career in trade, he married Anne, the daughter and coheiress of Lord Hoo and Hastings, and rose to become Master of the Mercers’ Company. Here he not only attained great opulence but also filled the lord mayor's chair and was made a knight. He married the eldest daughter and co-heir of Lord Hoo and Hastings and they became the parents of several children.With his social position secured by hard work, by a good marriage and a self-made fortune, Geoffrey purchased Blickling Hall in Norfolk and the Manor and Castle of Hever in Kent in 1462. Geoffrey Bullen died in 1464. In his Will
    he left £1,000 to the poor householders of London, and £2,000 to the poor householders in Norfolk (his native county), besides large legacies to the London prisons, lazar houses, and hospitals...

    1953 Memorandum of a settlement of the manor of Exceat, shown by Mr St John SAS/G5/21 nd [c1560] These documents are held at East Sussex Record Office
    Contents:
    William Wyndsor, kt, Edmund Wyndsor, esq, Robert Burbage and Anthony Burbage, gents and John Ede, yeoman, against Anthony Wyndsor, kt of a moiety of the manor of Exceat (among other manors) to the use of Henry Wyndsor and his wife Eleanor, then the wife of Mr St John, in pursuance of a deed dated 20 Jun 1542


    Henry Windsor, who was an idiot from birth, was the elder son of Sir Anthony Windsor, by his first wife Elizabeth Lovell, of Harting, divorced wife of Sir Edward Bray (V.C.H. Sussex, IV (1953), 15)... Henry and Eleanor Windsor disposed of Surrey property at Ashurst in Witley and Fridinghurst in 1549 (V.C.H. Surrey, III (1911), 12, 85). Henry Windsor must have died s. p., as his sister Constance Rythe was the heir to Harting (P.R.O., Early Chancery Proceedings, files 1428/35, 1466/74).

    1955 Memorial in St Thomas Church Portsmith:

    "Here under resteth the body of Sir Charles Blount, one of her majesty's band of pensioners, third son of Sir Mitchel Blount, Knight, Lineally descended from Walter, First Lord Mountjoy.

    "He was from his youth trained up in marshall affairs. He went over with the Earl of Leicester in the Low about the age of 15 years, where with such good circumspection he carried himself that for his valour he was highly commended, and from thence returning he was employed In the wars in Britain against the Spainward under the Conduction of General Norrisse,where he very valiantly behaved himself and was there taken prisoner and ransomed by his father. At the journey to Calais(or Cadiz?) he wnet with the Earl of Essex where for his good service he received the oroder of Knighthood. At the journey into the Islands he went likewise with the said Earl as colonel, and lastly he went over to Ireland with the said Earl, and was colonel Govenor of Cahir Castle.
    But in his return home upon the sea he departed this life in his prime and flourishing years about the age of 32. As his life was pleasing to his friends so his death yielded comfort to those that were present, with the assured hope of his joyful resurrection he yielded up his sould to god that gave it and to the earth from whence he was made".

    The History and Antiquities of the Parish of Edmonton: 1819
    ."..Mr. George Huxley, of London, citizen and haberdasher, purchased this estate of Sir John Leeke, and Dame Ann his wife, which they conveyed to him by bargain and sale, dated the 12th of June, 1609, and which continued in the direct male line, until the decease of Thomas Huxley, Esq. in 1743. Thomas Huxley devised his estates to his two daughters, to the youngest of whom, (Sarah) Wyrehall, was apportioned on a partition in the year 1752. Sarah died unmarried in 1801, and devised Wyer Hall, together with her lands in Edmonton, unto five of her cousins, from whom it descended to James George Tatem, Esq. except one fifth which is the property of his aunt, who was one of the devisees of Mrs. Sarah Huxley.

    Wyer-hall was repaired in the year 1611, by George Huxley and Katherine his wife, whose maiden name was Robertson. Their united arms carved in oak was placed over the chimney piece in the great hall; and their initials also appeared on the cistern heads of the water pipes.
    During the commonwealth, marriage contracts or ceremonies were performed in the porch of Wyer-hall, in the presence of the then proprietor, John Huxley, Esq. (**) the son of the before named George Huxley.

    (41) Cart. Ant. Dec. and Chap. Westmister. (42) " The names of all such persons as have been joyned togeather in marriage in the parishe of Edmonton, since the 29th of " September, 1653, in such manner and forme as by act of parliament " in that case made is limited and appoynted."
    a magistrate for the county. The son of this John, whose name was also John, was knighted by Charles the Second; but the reason for his having received that honour is now unknown.
    On the demolition of the Mansion-house in 1818, it was evident that it had been partly rebuilt at some period, since old mortice holes were formed in many of the larger girders. Musket shot of a small size, or pistol balls, were found in many parts of the walls; and from this circumstance we might be induced to form a conjecture, that, during the civil wars, this house had been attacked.
    Among the coins found, there were none of antiquity, being chiefly those of the reigns of Elizabeth, and Charles the First. The only article found worthy of notice, was a silver spoon with an hexagonal stem, summounted by a crest; a lion in a sitting posture; the crest was gilt. This spoon the bowl of which is much shattered is in the possession of James George Tatem, Esq. and appears to be of the date of Elizabeth.
    The house was built of bricks and of lofty and spacious dimensions. The principal entrance was through a porch, which formed the lower part of a central projecting turret. The upper divisions of the building were ornamented with pediments of scroll work, among which appeared the rose and pomegranate, the devices of England and Arragon. (*•) The interior experienced only a few alterations, and did not contain any particular of unusual interest. In the hall were some good family portraits. In an upper room were the arms of the Merchant Adventurers, to which company Mr. Huxley belonged.

    Which women is mother to the children?

    History books appear to incorrectly list Jane Sherley as the wife of Sir Richard Lyster, rather than correctly stating sister Isabell Sherley. July 1533 Patent Rolls grants. 929 (36):" Francis Dawtry. Livery of the lands as son and heir of Sir John Dawtry, including all reversions that should fall to the King on the death of dame Isabella, late wife of the said John and now wife of Sir Richard Lyster, chief baron of the Exchequer..."

    Who's Who of Tudor Women:
    ISABEL SHIRLEY (d. July 1533+)
    Isabel Shirley was one of the daughters of Sir Ralph Shirley of Wiston/Westmeston, Sussex (1433-1510) and Jane Bellingham. She married first, on January 17, 1508, Sir John Dawtrey of Southampton (c.1433-November 24, 1518) and had a son, Francis (1510-July 1533+). A record of July 1533 identifies Francis as the son of Sir John Dawtry and Isabella, "now wife of Sir Richard Lyster." Sir Richard’s wife is often misidentified as Jane Shirley, largely because Isabel’s sister also married a man named Sir John Dawtrey. This second Sir John was of Petworth and Moor House, Sussex and did not die until September 21, 1542. Isabel’s second husband, Sir Richard Lister or Lyster (c.1480-March 16, 1553), was a chief justice of the king’s bench. The Oxford DNB says their children were Richard and Charles and possibly Elizabeth (1520-1572), but calls Lyster’s son Michael (d.1551) the child of his second wife, Elizabeth Stoke (d.1567+). This is not possible. Michael was already married to his first wife in 1529. My best guess is that Isabel was Lyster’s second of three wives and that Elizabeth Stoke was his third wife. Portrait: Isabel is the most likely possibility to be the subject of the Holbein sketch labeled "Lady Lister" and dated c.1532-1543. An alternative is Michael Lyster’s second wife, Margery Horsman.

    Here lyeth the body of Charles Lister, Esq. of New Windsor Co. Berks, son of Sir Michael Lister, Kt. of the Bath, son and heir of Sir Richard Lister, Knight, Lord Chiefe Justice of England, and Master of the Court of Wards and Livery. He gave unto his Kinswomen for their preferment in marriage locot. For the foundation of an Hospital here in this towne, and for the maintenance thereof 600I. the remainder of his estate to his Godson, Lister Blount, son of Sir Richard Blount, Kt. his executor, who in memory of so worthy a Kinsman caused this monument to be erected. He deceased Nov. 26, 1613."

    Lyster's Hospital. Charles Lyster, by will dated 23d October 1613, devised to Sir Richard Blount, a lease for 1,000 years, of certain lands called Coxwell, in Berkshire, to, the end that it might be sold, and the produce employed towards erecting and maintaining for ever an hospital for relieving a convenient number of poor people, or a free school, for bringing up a convenient number of poor children within the towns of Bicester or Mapledurham, as Sir Richard Blount should think convenient ; and the will contained directions that if those to whom it appertained should pay to Sir Richard Blount, 600 /. in order to redeem Coxwell lease, according to an order made in the court of wards and liverys, then testator gave the 600/. to Sir Richard Blount for the same uses.
    We could not obtain any account of the early history of this charity. It is stated on an old paper produced to us, that King Charles II, by letters patent, vested the government of the hospital in Sir Richard Blount and his heirs male, and appointed them perpetual governors ; but on examining at the enrolment office, no such charter could be discovered.
    We have not learnt that any part of this bequest was laid out at Bicester ; it appears, however, that an almshouse was built at Mapledurham, comprizing six rooms, all on the ground floor, for the occupation of six poor people, with a small garden attached to each. This almshouse is still existing, and is in good repair. It contains two poor men, and four poor women, appointed from the poor of Mapledurham parish, by Michael Blount, esq. whose family appear always to have had the government of this charity. Each poor person receives 1*. 6d. a week in money, and two loads of billet wood every year, which are supplied by Mr. Blount, who considers his estate chargeable to that extent; the same sum having been paid, and the same quantity of wood furnished by his family as far back as can be remembered. The almshouse is kept in repair by Mr. Blount, and has been constantly by his family.
