    • Notes 
      • The Visitations of the County of Somerset 1531 and 1573, edited F.W. Weaver (1885):

        page 33 - Christopher Hadley married Anne daughter of Giles Hill of Hounston (Giles was aged 24 and more in 1493)
        page 43 - Sir Andrew Luttrell of Dunster (died 1547) had as second son Thomas Luttrell who married Mary, daughter of Christopher Hadley of Withycombe.


        Thomas Luttrell... entered into a contract of marriage with Margaret, daughter and heiress of Christopher Hadley of Withycombe, a lady who brought him a considerable landed estate on the east of Dunster and Carhampton...the marriage ...was pronounced invalid in the reactionary reign of Mary, ... The matter was referred to Pope Paul, ... ordered them to go through a new marriage, ... The re-marriage was solemnized at East Quantockshead in August 1560, the bride being described in the Register of that Church as Mrs. Margaret Hadley. The inscription on the monument of Thomas Luttrell, set up some sixty years later, mentions expressly that he was " lawfully married " to his wife.

        He appears to have lived for the most part at Marshwood in the parish of Carhampton, ....In 1556 he obtained from Robert Opy a surrender of his lease of Dunster Castle, ... Lady Mary Luttrell should live so long... survived her brother-in-law by several years, so that, though he seems to have lived at Dunster Castle in the later years of his life, he never held it and the Barony in fee. He died in January, 1571, being at that time Sheriff of Somerset. It would appear that the monument to his memory in Dunster Church was not erected until about fifty years after his death.
