  • By Mark Wareham, First Edition 15 December 2011
    Our Family’s Rich Heritage By Mark Wareham, first edition 15th December 2011 Featuring Blachford family ancestors of the – Wareham family of Shaftesbury and Shroton (Iwerne Courtney) in Dorset and the Russell, Hurdle and Tapper families of Shroton and Dodington family ancestors of the – Wareham family of Shaftesbury, Stainer family of Donhead and Shaftesbury and the Love family of Motcombe in Dorset and Mere in Wiltshire 1 Introduction My father’s Wareham family is fortunate to be able to claim ancestral connections to two lines that were landed gentry - the Blachfords of Fordingbridge and the Dodingtons of Mere. The choice of the title of this work is appropriate because I am going to look into our ‘rich’ roots in terms of historical value as well as wealth and social status. As a result of our connection to these two families we have so called ‘gateway’ ancestors, Susannah Blachford of Fordingbridge and Martha Dodington of Mere and they help us trace a family lineage back to the medieval period and beyond. The Blachford family held Sandhill Manor (now called Sandleheath) near Fordingbridge in Hampshire and the Dodington family held Woodlands Manor in Mere in Wiltshire. Page four shows the lines from my two great grandparents, Sidney’s parents Walter George Wareham and Harriet Stainer, to Susannah and Martha. One of my grandfather Sidney Wareham’s (pictured right) great x 7 grandfathers was the gentleman and Lord of the Manor of Woodlands, William Dodington and another great x 5 grandfather was the gentleman, Mr Daniel Blachford who grandson of the Lord of the Manor of Sandhill.

  • A Nevill Effigy in the Parish Church of St Lawrence, Mereworth, Kent
    A Pied Bull: A Nevill Effigy in the Parish Church of St Lawrence, Mereworth, Kent MARCUS HERBERT THE FOLLOWING STUDY sets out to examine the history of an effigy of an armoured man in the church at Mereworth dating from the early Tudor period. It is generally held that the individual commemorated by the figure belonged to a cadet branch of the Nevill family of Westmorland. The reasons for this belief are explained together with a reappraisal of the dating evidence and an examination of the candidates. Introduction Around 1742 John Fane seventh Earl of Westmorland petitioned Joseph Wilcocks, Bishop of Rochester for a faculty to demolish the old parish church of St Lawrence at Mereworth and build another a bit further away.' The bishop had his commis- sioners examine both the old church and the plans for the new stating that 'the said parish church of Mereworth is an antient building and is decaying and that the situation of it is most inconvenient being near the bounds of the parish on one side, and that the greater number of the parishioners dwell at a great distance from it, and that the said Earle is desirous to pull down the said old parish church of Mereworth and to build a new one in a more convenient place and make a new church yard and assure the ground to the said parish forever at his own proper costs and charges'. Following the commissioners' report the bishop concluded that as 'no detriment, inconvenience or disadvantage' would be suffered by the minis- ter, parishioners or inhabitants, notice should be given in the church of the earl's intentions and inform those present that 'there will be as sufficient and more con- venient room in the new church than there is now in the old'.2 Fane's apparent concern for the parishioners was in reality a thinly veiled excuse to get rid of a building which spoilt his view and which was the final phase in his redevelopment For Jack Lowe, Samuel Lowe and Ellie Wilson.

  • The Arrest and Trial of Archbishop William Laud
    THE ARREST AND TRIAL OF ARCHBISHOP WILLIAM LAUD By NICHOLAS ROBERT CHARLES FORWARD A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History School of Historical Studies College of Arts and law University of Birmingham March 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Archbishop William Laud was arrested on 18 December 1640, and specific treason charges were brought forward early in 1641. However he did not stand trial until 1644. This study aims to assess the charges; consider the reasons for the significant delay between the arrest and trial; review the law of treason pertaining at the time and how this was applied to Laud; analyse the condemnatory and often vindictive views of Laud within the public sphere as reflected in the pamphlets and newsbooks of the period; and assess in detail the trial itself. Along with Thomas Wentworth, earl of Strafford, Laud was a principle counsellor to the king and a major hate figure for parliament who considered the two men responsible for leading the king astray during the period of the personal rule.

I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.

  • Manors and Other Estates
    VCH Draft Text Parish: WELBY Author(s) Dr Alan Fox & Dr Pam Fisher Date: August 2018 LANDHOLDINGS There were two tenants-in-chief for Welby in 1086: Geoffrey de Wirce (de la Guerche), who was also the lord of Melton and held seven carucates and two bovates of land, and Countess Judith, niece of King William I, who held eight carucates and two bovates.1 For much of the medieval period, the Mowbray and Segrave families were lords of the manor that had been held in 1086 by de Wirce. This was purchased by William Digby in 1573. The Assheby family became lords of the second manor by the 14th century. The second manor came to the Digby family through a marriage in the late 15th century, uniting the two manors. This enabled the Digbys to inclose the land for pasture, and depopulate the village. Garendon abbey, near Loughborough, was also a significant landholder in the medieval period following gifts of land, mostly by tenants of the Mowbray/Segrave manor. The abbey built a grange in Welby. After the dissolution, their land was acquired by the earls of Rutland. It is not known when they sold this land, but by 1774 the entire parish was owned by the lords of the manor. The manor of Geoffrey de Wirce, to 1604 Geoffrey de Wirce held seven carucates and two bovates of land in Welby in 1086.2 When he died, his Melton estate, including Welby, was divided between Robert de Mowbray, earl of Northumbria, and Nigel d’Aubigny.3 Robert de Mowbray was imprisoned and forfeited his estates for a rebellion in 1 A.

  • Sir Robert Throckmorton (1510-1581)
    Sir Robert Throckmorton (1510-1581) Richard Norwood, Dorothy Spann CENTER's seventh great grandfather, appears to the middle right in the tree of Captain Richard Spann. Richard Norwood was the son of William Norwood whose parents were Henry Norwood and Catherine Thockmorton. Catherine Thockmorton was the daughter of Robert Thockmorton and Muriel Berkeley. Sir Robert Thockmorton: Birth: 1510 Alcester; Warwickshire, England Death: Feb. 12, 1581 Alcester; Warwickshire, England St Peters Church, Coughton, Warwickshire, England where he is buried. Sir Robert Throckmorton of Coughton Court, was a distinguished English Tudor courtier. Sir Robert was the eldest son and heir of Sir George Throckmorton (d.1552) by Katherine Vaux, daughter of Nicholas Vaux, 1st Baron Vaux of Harrowden (d.1523). He had many brothers, the most notable being, in descending seniority: Sir Kenelm, Sir Clement Throckmorton MP, Sir Nicholas Throckmorton(1515-1571), Thomas, Sir John Throckmorton(1524-1580), Anthony and George. Robert Throckmorton may have trained at the Middle Temple, the inn attended by his father. At least three of his younger brothers and his own eldest son studied at Middle Temple, but as the heir to extensive estates he had little need to seek a career at court or in government. He was joined with his father in several stewardships from 1527 and was perhaps the servant of Robert Tyrwhitt, a distant relative by marriage of the Throckmortons, who in 1540 took an inventory of Cromwell's goods at Mortlake. He attended the reception of Anne of Cleves and with several of his brothers served in the French war of 1544.

  • The Berkeley Castle Muniments by David Smith 2007, Vol
    From the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society The Berkeley Castle Muniments by David Smith 2007, Vol. 125, 11-28 © The Society and the Author(s) 01_BGAS125_011-028 16/11/07 15:41 Page 11 Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 125 (2007), 11 –28 The Berkeley Castle Muniments By DAVID SMITH Presidential Address delivered at the King’s School, Gloucester, 24 March 2007 The archives of the Berkeleys of Berkeley castle are unique. No other landed family in England has a proven pedigree in the direct male line starting with a Saxon thegn and can show that its muniments have remained in its main home since they built it in the third quarter of the 12th century. The vast majority of the documents at the castle are self-explanatory and their origin is clear. But some are very puzzling and among these are the earliest documents of all, on which the family rests the title to its ancestral estates. They comprise seven charters, of which six purport to be ducal or royal grants of Henry FitzEmpress, later King Henry II. Briefly summarized they are: a pact between Robert Fitzharding and Roger of Berkeley, former occupier of the castle and honour, made at the behest of Henry as duke of Normandy and in his presence [A1/43/62: SC4]; 1 grants by Henry as duke to Robert Fitzharding, firstly of Bitton and £100-worth of land in Berkeley harness for service of one knight [A1/1/1: SC1]; secondly of Berkeley castle and honour for service of one knight [A1/1/2: SC2]; thirdly of Berkeley castle and honour for one knight to Maurice, son and heir of Robert Fitzharding [A1/1/3: SC3]; then two grants by Henry, as king, of the castle and honour for the service of five knights to both Robert [A1/1/4: SC6] and Maurice [A1/1/5: SC7]; and finally of Malmesbury [A5/9/1: SC8] to Robert, a younger son of Robert Fitzharding.

Fildes Dissertation submitted in part-fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of History, University of Sheffield March 2009 ABSTRACT This thesis is a prosopographical study of the English baronage during the reign of Richard II. It considers the role of barons within the political community and attempts to characterise them, both in terms of their engagement with institutions and by exploring private power relations. In the tradition of the political culture framework within which the study is situated, it seeks ultimately to determine the group’s motives. The first section explores structures, defining the baronage and tracing the historical development of the class. The stresses and concepts that moulded and distinguished the political culture are also set out. Three broad themes – politics, land and lordship - are then discussed in the second section. These endeavour to quantify and qualify the power and authority that were exercised by the 66 baronial families from the reign. In the political arena barons’ engagement with the apparatus of royal government, administration and justice are investigated, along with political favour and its rewards.
