VCH Gloucestershire XIII, Draft Text, Bulley (Manors): © University of London 2010
In 1522 a substantial part of Bulley belonged to Sir Thomas Berkeley 65 (d. 1533).66 That estate had belonged to Walter Rowden, who may have inherited it from his father John, and, although held from Bulley manor, was sometimes itself described as a manor. Walter, a Gloucester lawyer, died in 1513 and was succeeded by his brother Richard.67 Richard’s daughter and coheir Frances married in turn Maurice Berkeley, son of Sir Thomas, and Richard Danvers. Her son Edward Berkeley, of Bradley in Wotton-under-Edge, left the estate at his death in 1577 to his wife Elizabeth for life and under his will68 it was conferred in 1579 on his sisters Frances, wife of George Matthews, and Eleanor, wife of James Morris, by Sir Richard Berkeley.69
