    THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/76/403 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is the will, dated 12 December 1589 and proved 9 December 1590, of Sir John Arundel (d. 17 November 1590) of Lanherne, the son of John Arundel (d.1557) and Elizabeth Danet. On 20 June 1571 the testator was appointed surveyor of Oxford’s lands in Cornwall and Devon, and in 1575 purchased all Oxford’s manors in Cornwall. The testator’s wife, referred to in the will as ‘Lady Anne Stourton’, who died in 1602, was the daughter of Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby, and the widow of Charles, Lord Stourton, who had been hanged at Salisbury in 1557 for murdering his steward. John Stourton (1533-1588), the son of Lady Anne and Charles, Lord Stourton, married Lord Cobham’s daughter, Frances Brooke (b.1562) in 1579. After John Stourton’s death, Frances married Sir Edward More (d.1623), who was named one of the executors in the 1612 will of Oxford’s widow, Elizabeth Trentham (see TNA PROB 11/121/171). Francis Brooke’s twin sister, Elizabeth Brooke (1562-1597), was the wife of Oxford’s brother-in- law, Sir Robert Cecil (1563-1612).

  • Six Wills Relating to Cobham Hall
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 11 1877 ( 199 ) SIX WILLS RELATING TO COBHAM HALL. THE six testators whose wills we now print were, all of them, owners of Cobham Hall, during the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries, and all, save one perhaps, had resided therein. Their wills are given in the order of their dates, and succeed one another as follows:— 1. William Brooke, Lord Cobham.. 2. Trances, Countess of Kildare, wife of Henry Lord Cobham. 3. Prances Stuart, Duchess of Richmond and Lenox. 4. Charles Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Lenox. 5. Sir Joseph "Williamson. 6. Lady Catherine O'Brien. Eor copies of three of these wills (Nos. 2, 3, and 4) we are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. James Grreen- street, who kindly transcribed them for us at Somerset House. I have prefixed memoirs of the testators, and have appended to the wills such notes as seemed to be necessary. Copies of the wills of Sir Joseph Williamson and Lady Catherine O'Brien, are among the Earl of Darnley's archives at Cobham Hall. Lord Darnley courteously permitted me to transcribe them. Of William Lord Cobham's will, there is a copy in the British Museum (Lansdowne MS. No. 830), whence I transcribed it. W. A. SCOTT ROBERTSON. 200 WILLS RELATING TO COBHAM HALL.

This able and accomplished nobleman was eldest of the ten sons of George Brooke, Lord Cobham, by his wife Ann, daughter of Edmond first Baron Bray and co-heir of John, the Second Lord Bray. Upon the magnificent tomb which William Brooke erected, in Cobham Church, to the memory of his parents, he emblazoned nine of the eleven armorial quarterings to which his mother was entitled; she died in September, 1559, and he celebrated her praises in some Latin verses, which have been thus happily rendered by Mr.

  • Family Lines from Companions of the Conqueror
    Companions of the Conqueror and the Conqueror 1 Those Companions of William the Conqueror From Whom Ralph Edward Griswold and Madge Elaine Turner Are Descended and Their Descents from The Conqueror Himself 18 May 2002 Note: This is a working document. The lines were copied quickly out of the Griswold-Turner data base and have not yet been retraced. They have cer- tainly not been proved by the accepted sources. This is a massive project that is done in pieces, and when one piece is done it is necessary to put it aside for a while before gaining the energy and enthusiasm to continue. It will be a working document for some time to come. This document also does not contain all the descents through the Turner or Newton Lines 2 Many men (women are not mentioned) accompanied William the Conqueror on his invasion of England. Many men and women have claimed to be descended from one or more of the= Only a few of these persons are documented; they were the leaders and colleagues of William of Normandy who were of sufficient note to have been recorded. Various sources for the names of “companions” (those who were immediate associates and were rewarded with land and responsibility in England) exist. Not all of them have been consulted for this document. New material is in preparation by reputable scholars that will aid researchers in this task. For the present we have used a list from J. R. Planché. The Conqueror and His Companions. Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.. The persons listed here are not the complete list but constitute a subset from which either Ralph Edward Griswold or Madge Elaine Turner (or both) are descended).

    234 Costessey. • the south by the road from Norwich to East Der!:Jham. The park contains some of the finest forest trees in the county, and the neighbourhood is much celebrated for its diversified features of hill and vale. The old hall is an extensive pile of brick in the plain Tudor style, with battlements and square windows. It forms three sides of a quadrangle, and the projecting wings are terminated by corbie-stepped gables crowned by square pinnacles. This house was erected by Sir Henry J erningham, Knight, in the reign of Elizabeth, and was not pulled down when the new and splendid mansion which is now attached to it was completed. The new building is also of brick, and is a fine specimen of Tudor architecture. It contains many fine paintings, one of which is a portrait of Queen 1\-fary by Holbein; another represents Thomas Earl of Arundel and his Countess Alethea, seated under a canopy, with all their children around them, designed by Vandyck, but finished by Philip Frutiers, of Antwerp, in 1640; and a ihird contains portraits of J ames II. and his family. Attached to the hall is the family Roman Catholic Chapel, a handsome edifice in the Perpendicular style, erected from a design by Edward Jerningham, Esq., and measuring 90 feet long, 25 wide, and 20 high. It is chiefly copied from the chapel of King's College, Cambridge, and has 20 noble windows filled with exquisite stamed glass of inestimable value, collected from various monasteries on the Continent. The manor was given by the Norman conqueror to Alan, Earl of Richmond.

  • A Brief History by WILL SWALES Welcome
    a brief history BY WILL SWALES welcome Welcome to a brief history of The Swan Hotel, Stafford. During the late spring and early summer of 2016 we had the good fortune to be able to revitalise and refurbish one of our fabulous sister inns, The King’s Head in Richmond, North Yorkshire. During the planning stage of this project we started to look hard at the building and its many historical attributes, at how some parts of the building had been added during its 300 years of existence. And whilst contemplating the small changes and additions we wanted to make, it dawned on me that we will only be its custodians for a generation or two at most. I can’t foretell who will follow but started thinking about who had been its keepers in the past. Therefore, we asked a good friend if he would research The King’s Head and try to separate the fact from the fable; what’s true and what has been elaborated during the storytelling process over the years. Will Swales made such a good job of The King’s Head that we then asked him to complete the same task for The Swan Hotel. What follows is that research. We think it’s as accurate as can be, but naturally there are many gaps and we would welcome any additional information. I hope you enjoy this small booklet and the hospitality and service we provide within The Swan Hotel. Please feel free to take this copy with you.

(1) Elizabeth Herbert 02 Jun 1492 (2) Elizabeth West (3) Eleanor Sutton Sir Henry Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset and Knight of the Garter, was the eldest son of Sir Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, and Eleanor Beauchamp, daughter of Richard Beauchamp, 5th Earl of Warwick, and Elizabeth Berkeley, daughter and heiress of Thomas, Lord Berkeley, Viscount Lisle. Never married, Sir Henry Beaufort had no legitimate children. His only child was Charles, known as Somerset, the illegitimate son of his mistress Joan Hill (Jeanne de la Montaigne), whose parents have not been determined. Elizabeth Herbert, who married Charles Somerset, was the only daughter and heiress of William Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, 1st Earl of Huntingdon, and Mary Wydville, daughter of Richard Wydville. Elizabeth West was a daughter of Thomas West, Lord de la Warre, and Elizabeth Mortimer. Eleanor Sutton was a daughter of Sir Edward Sutton, 6th Baron Dudley, K.G., and Cicely Willoughby, daughter of Sir William Willoughby. Henry Beaufort was distinguished in the Wars of the Roses on the Lancaster side. He was wounded, and his father was killed, in the Battle of St. Albans on 22 May 1455. Henry was so badly injured that, although he was captured by the Yorkists, he was permitted to be carried home safely in a cart. After recovering, Henry, now 2nd Duke of Somerset, became one of the leaders of the Lancastrians, with other of the young nobility, all in their twenties, who were dedicated to revenging the deaths of their fathers.
