THE RAINSFORD FAMILY WITH SIDELIGHTS ON SHAKESPEARE, SOUTHi\l\1PTON, HALL AND HART Embracing 1000 years of the RAINSFORD family and their successive partakings in the main lines of national life BY EMILY A.

I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO FAITH AND JACK AND MY NLECES AND NEPHEWS. n FOREWORD. 3T was suggested to me by my cousin, Alfred Ransford of Hunstanton, that being a native of Stratford-on-Avon, baptized there in the historic Church of Holy Trinity (Register Certificate No. 70;\ Page 89), and the grand-daughter of a Rainsford of the Clifford Chambers line, I should compile into a little book some of his genealogical notes relating to the family, which he has collected over a period of thirty years, in­ spired and assisted by a kinsman, the late Frederick Vine Rainsford, who began turning over Wills and docu-· ments at the age of eighteen, and devoted a great part of sixty years to research work. This volume is a brief outline of a typical English family, living in the beautiful homes of our Empire, yet facing the vicissitudes oflife, with its struggles and successes; amidst the hardships and dra\vbacks of a much less advanced civilization ; who, like numerous others, in response to the call of King and Country, have been leaders of men, in the Church and Services, in the legal and

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.

  • Early Owners of Torbryan Manor. by J
    EARLY OWNERS OF TORBRYAN MANOR. BY J. J. ALEXANDER, M.A. (Read at Torquay, 25th June, 1936) I. Introduction. Torbryan, like Bradley, is one of the manors in the district between the Teign and the Dart that have a fairly continuous family succession of medieval owners. Its succession, like that of Bradley, began about the time of the first Plantagenet king, Henry II; but the later lords of Torbryan, unlike those of Bradley, expended most of their energies in South Wales, Dorset and other parts of England, and left no ‘fair dwelling’ to commemorate their residence in South Devon. To put it another way: the Bradley owners were squires with one mansion, which they regularly lived in and cared for; those of Torbryan were knights with many mansions, some of which they seldom occupied and made no great effort to preserve. In 1086 the manor, then called Torra, was held by Godeva, the widow of the Saxon Brihtric.1 It is first described by the double name of Torre Briane in 1238, its owner at that time being named Wido de Brione.2 Four years later he appears as Wydo de Brionne.3 In 1307 the owner is called Guydo de Briane,4 and in 1390 Guy de Briene.5 The family descent is difficult to trace. The neglect of the early genealogists to supply dates was a detriment to the value of their pedigrees. This detriment was of serious consequence when three or four successive heads of a family had the same Christian name, or when there was a repeated alternation of two names.
