...we visited the little Church of Manningford Bruce, or Brewose as it was called in the year 1316, Index when Maria de Brewose was the lady of the manor. Yillaris. Dedicated to St. Peter, the Church presents, archi- tecturally, some very remarkable features, and has within the last few years, been carefully restored by Mr. Pearson, under the super- intendence of the Rector, the Rev. James Bliss. Formerly over the altar, and now on the north wall of the chancel, is a tablet which records the resting-place of the remains of a woman. While she lived she was the wife of Edward Nicholas, who was the son of Sir Oliver Nicholas, Cupbearer to King James I. The Nicholases were of a very old Wiltshire family, residing at Ryndway, or Roundway, and branched off, and were traceable at several places in Wilts- at Compton Chamberlayne, Brokenborough, Stert, All Cannings, and Cote in Bishops Cannings. From the last- named place came Nicholas of Manningford Bruce. 1165. In the Heralds^ Visitation of Wilts, taken in the year 1623, Edward Nicholas, the eldest son of Robert Nicholas of Coate, who was a second son, is therein noted as of Manningford T, ,. and Brokenbury - this Edward Nicholas being the great Pedigree, •' _ . Nicholas. grandfather of the Edward Nicholas mentioned on the tablet.
In the 1640's Lolesworth field remained almost entirely undeveloped. In March 1648/9 William Wheler of Datchet and his wife Jane conveyed to trustees all that part of Lolesworth which lay south of the line of Lamb Street and Brown's Lane (then called Lolesworth Lane). This was in trust for his wife for her life, and then in trust to raise portions for his seven daughters. The trusteeship of only two of the four trustees became effective, that of Edward Nicholas, son of Sir Oliver Nicholas of Manningford Bruce, Wiltshire, and of George Cooke of Datchet, gentleman. (ref. 15) Nicholas and Cooke were responsible for building in the vicinity of the open Spital Field in the 1660's and 1670's. In 1675 they relinquished their trusteeship for the partition and division of this southern part of the estate among the daughters. Subsequent developments on this part of the estate included the market and market area, Christ Church Spitalfields, the Wood Michell estate, and Nos. 56 and 58 Artillery Lane (see Chapters XI-XIV).
