....John Berkeley married Katherine, daughter of Sir Richard Devereux, Lord Ferrars, and had issue James Berkeley of
Bradley, who married Joyce, daughter of Mr. Pettit, and had five children, John, Brice, Joyce, Jane, and Ann. John died
without issue in the fifth year of Queen Mary. Brice married Anne, daughter and co-heir of Thomas Whittington, Esq.,
and had one daughter only, Elizabeth. He died in the twenty-first year of Elizabeth. His daughter Elizabeth was married, firstly, to Edward Berkeley, Esq., son of John Berkeley of Cam (who was commonly called John de Planches) ; secondly, to Sir Edward Berkeley, second son of Sir Maurice Berkeley of Bruton ; and thirdly, to Nicholas Strangeways, Esq. She outlived all her three husbands, and died without issue by either at Bradley in 1613, 10th James I and was buried in Wotton.
The present house, now called Bradley Court, was built by her first husband, Edward Berkeley, Esq., in the tenth year of Elizabeth's reign. In consequence of her having no issue, she alienated the Manor by sundry and divers sales, between the years 1604 and 1609, to various persons.

.....The family of Whittington were proprietors from this period till the. year 1546. Richard de Whitington, the celebrated Lord Mayor of London, was the younger son of William. His eldest brother Robert was sheriff of the county of Gloucester in 1402 and 1407. Thomas, the last of the name, died in 1546, and left six daughters coheiresses, Blanch, married to John Saint Aubin; Anne, married to Brice Berkeley; Jane, to Roger Bodenham; Margaret, to Thomas Throgmorton; Alice, to Nanfant; and Elizabeth, to Sir Giles Pool, of Saperton, to whom four shares of the manor were conveyed, 1588. Sir Henry Pool, his son, was lord in 1608, and died in 1616. The manor came afterwards to Henry Somerset, Fsq. whose son Edward Maria Somerset was lord at the beginning of the last century. It was transferred by purchase from Lady Somerset to Henry Scudamore, Esq. of Cannon's Bridge, near Hereford, who was succeeded by his son, Henry Blackford Scudamore, Esq. He died and left his shares in this manor and estates to his widow, Tamor Scudamore, for life, and at her death to be divided among the children. Since his death the whole of the estates has been purchased by Mrs. Scudamore.
