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.
