        Will of Sir George Trenchard of Wolveton, Dorset 01 February 1631 PROB 11/159


        http://www.abbotsbury-heritage.org.uk/results/pale/pale.htm
        The story of Abbotsbury church begins, like a biography, at the font...The ceiling is evidently from the same hand as that in the room above the Breakfast Room in the Strangways family seat at Melbury, ... To the left of each shield are the Strangways arms ~ two lions, which should be striped in silver and red ~ and to the right those of a succession of wives, for each shield comemmorates a match with some daughter of the gentry. Sir Giles, the first to be lord of the manor, is here with his wife Joan Mordaunt. Their son Henry appears with Margaret Rutland, whom he married in 1526; Henry never came to possess Abbotsbury, for he died in the siege of Boulogne, a victim of Henry VIII's foreign policy. Sir Giles the younger married Joan Wadham in 1547, and they are both here, as is their son John and his wife Dorothy Thynne of the Longleat family. Their son Sir John appears with Grace Trenchard and the inscription 1638, which may date the ceiling, the marriage, or both. Finally comes the heir apparent, Giles ~ later to be made Colonel Giles in the Civil War, and his wife Susanna Edwards. The six smaller shields set above the chancel arch carry the story further back in time, for amongst these are the arms of Strangways and Arundell to commemorate the first marriage of Henry, father of Sir Giles the elder, while those of Strangways and Stafford are there to remind us of the marriage of Thomas in 1460 with Alianor, grand-daughter of Humphrey Stafford of Hooke, ... The house was afterwards re-occupied by a Royalist garrison under Colonel James Strangways ~ the younger son of Sir John, who was himself engaged in the defence of Sherborne Castle ... And so, according to the letter that Sir Anthony later sent to Parliament, 'immediately we drew out a party of musketeers, with which Major Baintum in person stormed the church, into which they had put thirteen men because it flanked the house. This, after a hot bickering, we carried, and took all the men prisoners'. ..
