  First of St. Mary Aldermanbury, London, and then of Tidworth, Wiltshire. JOHN SMYTH Christening: 02 JUN 1616 Saint Mary The Virgin Aldermanbury, London, London, England Parents: Father: THOMAS SMYTH Family According to Boyd a Goldsmith of Aldermanbury, London. Will of John Smith of South Tidworth, Hampshire 22 October 1690 PROB 11/401 .Will dated 11 July 1686. Proved October 1690. Son John Smith?? COLLINGBOURNE KINGSTON Title Deeds FILE [no title] - ref. 9/10/2 - date: 17 January 1693 [from Scope and Content] Articles of agreement for enclosing Collingbourne Kingston Cowdown, (1) Thomas, Earl of Ailesbury, Lord of the Manor of Collingbourne Kingston, (2) Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Winchester and John Smith of Tidworth, Hants., (3) tenants (named) of the said manor. "...During the 12th and 13th centuries the Zouche family were in control of North Tidworth;...In the 17th century the area was famous for game, especially hares, and the estate owners enjoyed coursing and hunting over their lands. The Tedworth estate was bought from Jane Ashburnham in 1650 by Thomas Smith, whose family were to remain here for 200 years. There was already a fine house here, but it is uncertain as to when this was built. The Smith family was to take a leading role in the nation when John Smith was Speaker of the House of Commons (1705-10) among other roles. The Tedworth estate had been inherited by Thomas Assheton Smith, in 1773 and it passed to his son, Thomas Assheton Smith II in 1774. He was a keen sportsman and by the early 19th century both communities were part of a large sporting estate, which owned nearly all of both parishes by the 1830s. Woodland for coverts was planted on the downs and by 1845 the establishment had 400 foxhounds and a stable of 50 horses. This was in the time of Thomas Assheton Smith III, who was one of the country?s leading foxhunters and cleared many square miles of land for hunting. He also demolished and rebuilt Tedworth House between 1828 and 1830, moving into it in 1830. The Churches of South Tidworth For more than 100 years following the demolition of the old mediaeval church in 1784, the only church in South Tidworth was the small family chapel - now known as the Burial (or Mortuary) Chapel - at the top of Church Lane. It was built using stone from the demolished mediaeval church and still holds a couple of interesting inscribed wall plaques from the original church, dating from about 1730. One commemorates a previous owner of Tedworth House, John Smith, an eminent politician of his day, who was a Lord of the Treasury at the time the Bank of England was first opened (1694) and Speaker of the first British Parliament following the Act of Union of England and Scotland in 1707.
