Quoting the Gloucestershire Victoria History (volume 9, p.195)...
"Catherine the daughter of John Solers inherited Shipton Solers manor, and her husband William Twyniho, described in 1470 as of Shipton Solers, held it by courtesy after her death in 1494. William (d. 1497) was succedded by his son Walter, who in 1508 settled the manor on his son Edward (d. 1526). Edward's son and heir, Anthony Twiniho died a minor in 1529 and left as his heirs his sisters Anne and Catherine. Anne married Henry Heydon (d. 1559) of Watford (Herts.) and at her death later in 1559 a moiety of the manor passed to her son Francis. catherine and her husband John Dauntesey held the other moiety in 1545. Their daughter Bridget and her husband Hugh Hyde held it in 1564 and Francis Heydon acquired it later, therby reuniting the two parts of the manor. Francis Heydon died in 1606 and his son and heir Edward was incorrectly described in 1608 as lord of Shipton Oliffe and Solers. After Edward heydon's death in 1617 Shipton Solers manor belonged in remaindership to his wife Mary (d. 1625)..."

.....Nicholas Carewe and Margaret his wife. This Margaret was daughter of Edward Langford, and formerly wife of John (?) Carant, and after the death of Carewe, of John (?) Twynyhoo. This lady, after her triple experience of matrimony, retired from the world as a religious of the Cistercian nunnery of
Tarant, Dorset ; and in her will, bearing date July 21st, 1500, and proved March 4th, 1501, after arranging for her own burial at the Grey Friars, Reading, near the tomb which she made there over her father and mother, and providing masses, etc., for all her husbands, makes mention of Nicholas Carewe, her son, and of Ann Tropenell, her daughter, to whom she bequeaths "my coler of goold with panyers and flowers, my grettest herneys of goold, and my next best primer." The arms of Carewe are : " Or, three lions passant in pale, sable, armed and langued, gules " ; and these are to be seen on the tomb, which may be thus shortly described. It is of smaller size than that of Thomas Tropenell, about 6 ft. long, but of the same character, and being in the angle of the building only two sides are visible. On the south or long side are three shields, namely: (1) Tropenell, (2) Tropenell impaling Carewe, (3) Carewe. At the west is the shield of Carewe alone.
The identification of the tomb is further established from the following wills: - Christopher Tropenell, of Great Chalfield, etc., whose will is dated March 5th, 16 H. VII. (1501), but which is without probate certificate - he died soon after September 29th, 1503, - directed his body to be buried at Corsham, " in my father's chamber of our Lady in the north side of the chapel forth yenst 1 my father's tomb, in a tomb of marble, if that I die within 24 miles of Corsham, and of none infectious disease." There may be a little uncertainty as to whether he did die within the limits, and was buried here in the first instance. For in the will of " dame" Anne Tropenell, widow, late wife of Christopher Tropenell, Esq., deceased, dated December 19th, 6 H. VTII (1514), and proved October 23rd, 9 H. VIII. (1517), after providing for her own burial, " in the parish church of Corsham in the N. end of the altar in our Lady's chapel wherein the body of Thomas Tropenell father of the said Christopher lieth buried," towards the end she arranged for masses in the church, where the bones of her said husband " be or shall be buried, for his soul, my soul," etc. This clause, as also that giving directions for her own burial, may seem to indicate that the body of Christopher was not at Corsham when she made her will, and to contemplate a removal from some other church. However this may be, we can scarcely doubt that the remains of both Christopher and of dame Anne his widow were deposited under this second tomb.
