Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society 1400940 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOMERSETSHIRE ARCH^OLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY DURING THE YEAR 1896. PARr IL—PAPERS, Ere. Ct)e laDg of Popntington. liY JOHN BATTEN. TXT'HEN the Society visited this Church in 1874 the late V V Mr. Heale, the rector, read a paper on it in continua- tion of one he had previously contributed to our Journal. In it he called attention to a memorial slab, originally on the floor of the church porch, but removed by him in 1868 to the vestry wall, where you see it now. The inscription is much obliter- ated, but what remains should, accordim/ to Mr. Heale^ be read : " Hie jacet domina Kathina Stuccli dna de pontyngton que obiit iii die anno . cccc . ii."^ Mr. Heale was much exercised to discover who the entombed lady was. Reading the name as Stuccli, he at first attributed it to a Dame Stucley of the Devonshire family of that name, (1) A careful rubbing, kindly made for me by Messi's. Merrick and 8on, the contractors, reveals the word " dni " after "anno," and shews that what Mr. Heale read as C, repeated for four hundred, is X of medieval form. Vol. XLII (Third Series, Vol. 11 J, Part 11. a 2 Papers^ ^c. but found from Sir Georf^(! Stul<(!](!y that the date of the (kiath, ;is i>-ivcn in papers in his possession, did not agree with that on the tablet, and moreover that she had no property in Somersetshire. Foiled on that side, he was, as he wrote to me, beginning to doubt whether the name was Stuccli after all, as an ardent antiquary, who made a special pilgrimage to the spot, found it to be the very name he wanted to find ; but Mr. Heale was not convinced, as he could not read the letters as his friend wished, and, more than that, he wanted to alter the date to suit his reading, and this was more than Mr. Heale could stand. Whether after consideration he adopted his friend's construction I cannot say, but in his paper of 1874 he roundly states the lady to be the wife of the noble and potent Lord Fitzwarren, cautiously adding, " the date of her death does not agree with the tablet itself, and there are other diffi- culties about the question which have yet to be solved." This theory would fix the lady as Katherine who was the wife, first, of Sir Hugh Stukeley and heiress of one third of the adjoining manor of Trent. She survived Sir Hugh and married, as her second husband, William Bouchier Lord Fitzwarren ; but it could not be her ; for she was not the owner of Poyntiugton, she did not die until 1468, and she was not buried here but, according to the directions of her will, in the church of West Wolrington, Devon. No further attempt has been made to establish the lady's identity, and now, coming here again after an interval of twenty years, I venture to offer you my solution of the knotty point, and with that object it will be necessary to say a word or two respecting the descent of the manor of Poyntington. The earliest owners to be found, after the long blank which followed the record of Domesday, are the De Chesnes or De Cheneys, a knightly family of Norman origin, deriving its patronymic from the French word chesne^ an oak, dispersed in many parts of the south of England, and leaving its name to several manors it had held—the principal one being Chenies TJlc Lady of Poynthujton. 3 in Buckinghamshire, more celebrated now for the magnificent series of monuments erected in honour of the noble house of Russell. It may indeed be questionable whether the Cheneys of the four south-western coimties had not, at a very early period, become a separate family from the other De Cheneys, as no documentary evidence has been found of their connection, and their armorial bearings were quite distinct. The arms borne by them were Gu. four fusils conjoined in fesse ar, on each an escallop sab., as you may see on an heraldic tile found in this church. Now in the early ages of the feudal period the arms of great lords were frequently adopted by their military tenants in honour of their chief; but to prevent confusion they were differenced, as the heralds say, by some alteration or addition which made the distinction apparent. In the year 1165 Ealph de Chenduit (a Cornish variation of Cheney) held a knight's fee of William de Albini or Daubeny Brito, which was held of the same family by John de Cheney in the reign of Henry III (Testa de Neville). The arms of Daubeny were four fusils conjoined in fesse, and if you make a little addition to them, by affixing escallops on these fusils, you have the arms of Cheney, and obtain what seems to me a good explanation of their derivation. Carew, in his Survey of Cornwall, says that there was a tradition tliat the escallops were adopted in memory of one of the family going to the Holy Land in the Crusades, and carrying the shells for taking up water in the hotter climate of Asia. An escallop was no doubt worn by pilgrims as an ensign of pilgrimages to Jeru- salem and other holy places, but the tradition is too far fetched to be accepted. It may be mentioned here that Cheney, with some other ancient families, was distinguished by an unusual heraldic ornament called a Badge, though what the distinction was between a badge and a crest I could not venture to say. The Cheney badge was a ship's rudder. According to some authorities this was the badge not of Cheney but of Willoughby, 4 one oi' whom inan-iod ji ('hcney licircss ; ])ut tho (ividencc is v(iry str{)ii<»- ilic otlicr way, as lon^ })cforc this alliari(;c the rudder was ))aiiited on tin; windows of tlie hall at Broke, Avhere Cheney resi(UMl, and, as can still h(\ seen, it is carvc^d rey)eatedly on the Cheney tomb in Edington Church, Wilts.

As between Cheney and Willoughby, if it Avere a material question, I should give the helm to C/heney, for surely a rudder of oak {cliesne) would be a moie lasting badge than a vnllow one. We Hrst find Cheney connected wdth Poyntington^ at the end of the reign of Henry III, when the heirs of William de Cheney held the manor. ( Kirby's Quest.) The family of Tregoze, Lords of Ewyas, were Lords Paramount, the manor being held under them by the service of one Knight's fee (Esch. 28 Edw. I, No. 43). His grandson, another William, was the owner in Edward Ill's time, and he was twice married. By his first wnfe he had a son, Edmund, of whona presently, and by his second (by w^hom he acquired Lutton in Dorset, afterwards called Lytton Cheney) he had another son, Ralph. Ralph made a great addition to his fortune by an alliance with Joan, daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Paveley, of Broke, near Westbury, Wilts, who enriched her husband with the manor of Broke, and the lordship of the great manor and liundred of Westbury. Ralph died in 1401, and his grandson, a second Edmund, secured a still richer prize, by marrying Alice, daughter and eventual heiress of Sir Humphrey Stafford, of Hooke, Dorset. He succeeded to Poyntington in 1422, and at his death in 1430 left two daughters his co-heiresses, one of whom, Anne, had Poyntington as part of her share, and carried it to her husband Sir John Willoughby, whose son was created in 1492 Baron Willoughby de Broke, taking his title from the Paveley estate at Broke ; and to his descendant, the present Lord Willoughby de Broke, Poyntington still belongs.

  • Later Prehistoric and Romano-British Occupation at Townsend Farm, Poyntington
    LATER PREHISTORIC AND ROMANO-BRITISH OCCUPATION AT TOWNSEND FARM, POYNTINGTON. GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AND EVALUATION 2010-11 CLARE RANDALL ABSTRACT Geophysical survey and trial excavations were carried out on two fields, Hanglands and Fairmile, at Townsend Farm, Poyntington, Dorset. Gradiometry was carried out across the entirely of Hanglands. Despite having been seriously affected by ploughing it produced evidence of linear cut features and included curvilinear anomalies possibly representing roundhouses. Three evaluation trenches were positioned with the aim of characterising the geophysical anomalies, understanding the quality, preservation, and gaining some chronological understanding. Despite considerable truncation by ploughing, an enclosure ditch and a curvilinear gully of later prehistoric date were identified as well as an undated terrace along the break in slope on the eastern side of the field, which could be Romano-British or medieval. Gradiometry over a small area at the north end of Fairmile, identified anomalies on a rectilinear alignment where Romano-British pottery had been recovered from the surface, including a South East Dorset Orange Wiped Ware sherd of the late 4th-early 5th century AD. The anomalies are suggestive of a substantial Romano-British building and associated features. The limited investigations have demonstrated an area of later Iron Age occupation adjacent to what appears to be a a previously unrecorded villa. INTRODUCTION The work at Townsend Farm, Poyntington, was prompted by the discovery of a selection of pottery and burned stone by Mr Gareth Lewis whilst metal detecting. The South Somerset Archaeological Research Group (SSARG) was invited to carry out a geophysical survey and exploratory excavation, which took place over the summer, autumn and winter of 2010-2011.

  • Spatial Variability of the Purbeck-Wight Fault Zone - a Long-Lived Tectonic Element in the Southern UK
    *Manuscript Click here to view linked References Spatial variability of the Purbeck-Wight Fault Zone - a long-lived tectonic element in the southern UK. 1Westhead, R.K, 1McCarthy, D., 2Collier, J. S. and 3Sanderson, D.J. 1British Geological Survey, The Lyell Centre, Research Avenue South, Edinburgh, EH14 4AP, UK. [email protected] (Corresponding author) 2Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London, RSM Building, Prince Consort Road, London, SW7 2BP, UK. 3Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK. Keywords: Inversion, tectonics, Alpine, Purbeck, Weymouth, Lyme Abstract New seamless onshore to offshore bedrock (1:10k scale) mapping for the Lyme Bay area is used to resolve the westward termination of the Purbeck-Wight Fault Zone (PWFZ) structure, comprising one of the most prominent, long-lived (Variscan-Cimmerian-Alpine) structural lineaments in the southern UK. The study area lies south of the Variscan Frontal Thrust and overlays the basement Variscide Rhenohercynian Zone, in a region of dominant E-W tectonic fabric and a secondary conjugate NW-SE/NE-SW fabric. The PWFZ comprises one of the E-W major structures, with a typical history including Permian to early Cretaceous growth movement (relating to basement Variscan Thrust reactivation) followed by significant Alpine (Helvetic) inversion. Previous interpretations of the PWFZ have been limited by the low resolution (1:250k scale) of the available offshore BGS mapping, and our study fills this gap. We describe a significant change in structural style of the fault zone from east to west. In the Weymouth Bay area, previous studies demonstrate the development of focussed strain associated with the PWFZ, accompanied by distributed strain, N-S fault development, and potential basement uplift in its hangingwall.

  • Strike Slip Faulting in Somerset and Adjacent Areas
    H. C. Prudden STRIKE SLIP FAULTING IN SOMERSET AND ADJACENT AREAS S. SALMON Prudden, H.C. 2005. Strike-slip faulting in Somerset and adjacent areas. Geoscience in south-west England, 11, 158-161. The presence of strike-slip faulting in Cornwall, Devon and Dorset is well established. There is now a growing body of evidence that strike-slip faults are to be found throughout Somerset as shown by faults and joint patterns. There were major dextral strike-slip movements during the Variscan Orogeny. Later movements have affected the Jurassic and Cretaceous formations and possibly Palaeogene rocks. Strike-slip faulting has implications for field mapping, the development of landforms and the quarrying industry. 2 Yeovil Road, Montacute, Somerset, TA15 6XG, U.K. (E-mail: [email protected]). INTRODUCTION examples of these structures. Shearman (1967) reported Strike-slip faults have long been noted throughout evidence for NNW-SSE Tertiary fault movements in north-west SW England cutting the Variscan basement (Devonian and Exmoor. Likewise similar dextral and associated NE-SW Carboniferous), granite plutons (Permian) and post-Variscan sinistral strike-slip faults have been reported in Dorset. For sedimentary successions. Dearman (1963) inferred that example, the 20 km-long Poyntington Fault, east of Sherborne, NNW-SSE trending dextral strike-slip faults in Devon and is interpreted to have a post-Jurassic dextral offset of some Cornwall largely originated as Variscan structures that were 3 km. Thickness variations on either side of the fault suggest reactivated during mid-Tertiary shortening of the Alpine that it was active during sediment deposition (Bristow et al., orogenic foreland.
