thereto The next ensuing year viz. 47 E. 3. he was again retained to serve the King in his French warrs for one whole year with CC. men at Armes and CC. Archers well mounted armed and arrayed under the conduct of Iohn of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster of which men at Armes besides himself there were to be Lix Knights and Cxl. esquiers And in 49 E. 3. was sent by Commission from the King into Scotland with whom were joyned Sir Guy de Brienne and Sir Henry le Scrope Bannerets to treat with William Earl of Douglas and others appointed by the King of Scotts touching restitution of those lands which by the truce formerly made did belong to the English The same year also did he accompany Edmund E. of Cambridge the Kings son into Britanny on the behalf of Iohn de Montfort Duke of Britanny where they had great success in taking of severall Castles till they were recalled by the King upon a truce concluded betwixt him and the French In 50 E. 3. he was constituted Governour of the Isles of Gernsey Serke and Aureney In 51 E. 3. he had Commission with divers gentlemen of note for arraying of men in this County so also in 1 R. 2. at which time he was by Indenture retain'd to serve the King with CC. men at Armes and CC. Archers beyond Sea for a quarter and half of the year viz. besides himself a Banneret four Knights with Clxiv Esquiers well and sufficiently mounted armed and accoutred for that voyage In 3 R. 2. he was again in Commission for arraying of men in this Shire and by the Commons in Parliament at the same time held at London chosen Governour to the King then but young as being a man most just and prudent for which service he was to have a convenient allowance out of the Kings publique Treasury In 5 R. 2. that foul Insurrection of the Commons under the conduct of Iack-Straw happening whereof our Storyes have a full relation he was sent to protect the Monastery of S. Albans then much endangered by that Rebellious Rout and to do Justice upon the Villains but as he was marching thitherward with a thousand stout men well armed and the Lord Thomas Percy in his company News came to him that the like commotion was broke out where his own estate lay which occasioning him to divert his intended course and to send part of his souldiers to the aid of the Abbot did much animate those bold Rebells that had gotten head at S. Albans Whether in this County or where els the Insurrection was I cannot directly say but I find that there were speciall Commissions directed to him with other persons of quality in this Shire to suppress any that should make head therein In 8. of the same Kings reign he had againe Commission to put the men of this County in Ar●ay But I cannot point out the direct extent of time that the King continued under his tutelage yet certain it is that before he arrived to mans estate he took the reins of government into his own hand or suffered them to be guided by some speciall Favorites of whose misdoings he himself had at last wofull experience the chief of which were Robert de Vere Earl of Oxford advanced to the title of Marquess of Dublin and afterwards D. of Ireland upon whom d●vers of the Nobility had therfore cast very envious eyes but so much did the King affect the Marquess that discerning who they were that thus maligned him he laid trains to murther them as saith my Author of which number were Thomas Duke of Glouc. the Kings own Uncle and our Earl of Warwick who being men of haughty Spirits and apprehending some danger towards associated more to their company and put themselves in Armes at Haringey Park whereupon they constrained the K●●g to call a Parliament the next ensuing year but what exorbitant things were done therein through their potency our Annalls of that time will tell you Howbeit about a twelve month after the K●ng assembling his Nobles told them he was now of age to govern himself and the Kingdom and thereupon chang'd some of his great Officers and C●uncellers whereof this Thomas E. o● Warwick was one that he said aside who thence●●●●● retiring himself built that strong and stately Tower standing at the Northeast corner of the Castle here at Warwick the cost whereof amounted to CCCXCV li. v s. ii d. As also the whole body of the Collegiat Church of our Lady both which were finished in 17 R. 2. but from that time forwards never could he get the Kings favour again so that Thomas de Moubray Earl Marshall and Notingham taking advantage of the Kings displeasure against him and of the countenance that he himself then had at Court brought his Writ of Error to reverse the Judgement given in 26 E. 3. on the behalf of Thomas then Earl of Warwick for the dominion of Gowher in Wales a●●eadging that the Process whereupon the suit in E. 3. time had been commenced was directed to the Shiriff of Hereford-shire whereas the land of Gowher in question lay in Wales yet so hapned the issue of that business though this errour if it were one related nothing to the just title that in 20 R. 2. Moubray recovered it Nay this was not all for jealousyes and secret grudges harboured by d●ve●s grea●men towards them that had most interest with the King and doubtless were his advisers in what he had done as also by him against them began now to shew their effects so that the King having wedded Isabell daughter to the King of France a girl scarce eight years old for better securing the xxx years Truce concluded with that Nation whereby he apprehended that nothing could now disturb him in doing what he listed caused his uncle the Duke of Glouc. to be layd hold on at Pleshy in Essex when he least thought of such a thing and hurryed thence to Caleys where he was secretly murthered by the said Thomas Moubray not without the Kings privity as 't is said And the same day that the Duke of Glouc. was so seized on did he invite this our Earl of Warwick to a Feast who suspecting nothing came but found very harsh entertainment for there did he cause him to be arrested and carryed away Prisoner who putting himself upon the Parliament for Justice and acknowledging the meeting at Haringey-Park had Judgment of death past upon him Howbeit the King qualified that sentence and gave him his life in exchange for a perpetuall banishment to the Isle of Man where he was to continue Prisoner directing his Letters Patents to William le Scrope Earl of Wiltshire who then had the dominion of that Isle and to Sir Stephen le Scrope Knight bearing date at Westminster 12. Oct. in the xx year of his

of age who being an ambitious spirited man procured License from Q. Eliz. in 9 of her reign to make a Castle here at Milcote and to call it Mount-Grevill which accordingly he began to do on the top of the Hill above a quarter of a mile Southwards from the old Mannour house as is to be seen by part of the fabrick yet standing and therefore the better to support his greatness though he had very fair possessions in this and other Counties he eagerly coveted the estate of one ..... Web a wealthy Batcheler who had been his servant and then was Tenant to him at his Mannour of Draiton in Oxfordshire for obtaining whereof he plotted the murther of him and forged a Will to entitle himself thereto as from credible tradition I have heard To accomplish which execrable design he invited him to his House at a Christmass or Easter season there to make merry then residing at Seasoncote in Gloucestershire and having so train'd him thither hired two of his servants to strangle him in his bed which being accordingly effected he caused it to be given out in the House that the old man was fallen very sick and not like to live whereupon the Parson was sent for to write his Will and one of the Murtherers convey'd into the bed with the dead man about whom the curtains were close drawn and he dolefully groaning as not like to continue long so that being in this seeming weak condition as not able to give directions how the Will should be made all spoken by him with a counterfeit voice too was by way of answer to questions viz. how and to whom his estate should be disposed which in short was to his Master meaning Lodowik Grevill excepting a Legacy to an Atturny in Banbury whose mouth thereby being stopt no one else as he thought would expect any thing or at least not go about to question the Will which being accordingly effected and the company desired to depart the room that the sick man might repose himself a little the News of his death was soon after spread in the House whereupon people were called up who finding him dead in the bed took order for his buriall And now that all this Pageant was over Master Grevill thought himself secure enough of his large Legacy But to the end we may see how divine vengeance ceases not to prosecute such bloody actions though carryed on with never so much cl●●eness and subtilty the discovery of this wicked murther was ere long thus brought to light One of the Assasinates being in his Cups at Stratford dropt ●ut some words amongst his pot-companions that it lay in his power to hang his Master which expression being by one that heard hereof related to the other Murtherer he presently acquainted Master Grevill therewith who thereupon resolving to prevent the danger of any such further babling advised that he should be closely made away and for effecting thereof within a short space following sent them both out in the night season upon some pretended business by which means the other took his advant●ge to dispatch him and cast his body into a pit of water which afterwards floating was discovered by passengers and upon enquiry when and w●t● whom he had been last seen the villain was brought in que●tion who forthwith confest the whole business thereby detecting his Mr. throughout for which they both had their tryals at Warwick where Mr. Grevill to prevent the loss of his lands stood mute and so having Judgement to be prest suff●red death accordingly To whom succeeded Edward his son and heir in the inheritance of this Lordship and other lands of great worth Of which Edward I have heard that in his younger years inadvertently shooting an Arrow upright out of a long Bow it fell upon his elder Brother's head and kill'd him and that their Father was so little sensible of this sad mishap that he made a jest of it telling him that it was the best shoot he ever shot in his life but whether it was the judgement of God to put a period to the line of Lodowik before mentioned for that horrid murther of Web and one of his servants or for what else I may not take upon me to judge certain it is that the whole estate came in short time after to be strangely wasted for so great were Sir Edw. Grevil 's debts and leaving issue onely Daughters that his lands were exposed to sale by Sir Arthur Ingram a Yorkeshire Kt. Husband to Mary the fifth of them and this Mannour then purchased by Lionell Earl of Midlesex whose son and heir now enjoys it Dorsington-parva THis though it be in the Parish of Welford in com Glouc. is in Warwickshire and in the Conquerors time was possest by the same Stefanus who then had Milcote being certified to contain 1 hide which one Ordri● held before the Norman invasion With Milcote also it came to Geffrey Martell and so likewise to Hauvill and Langley as the Records I have there vouch't will manifest but after the 4th of E. 3. I have not found any farther mention at all of it in Record till 9 H. 8 that Maud Rous Widow was certified to have converted C C. acres of land lying in this place from tillage to pasture in 17 H. 7. and decaying three Ploughs being then possest of the Capitall messuage From which Maud did descend Sir Iohn Brome of Ragley Kt. as in Ragley appeareth who in 3 E. 6. possest it Binton THis being situate on the brow of an Hill about half a mile distant from the River Avon was one of the towns which S. Egwyn gave to the Abby of Evesham upon the foundation thereof in the year 709. but in the time of K. Ed. the martyr wrested from it with other great possessions by Alf●rus a potent Ruler in these parts who expelled the Monks and placed Canons there disposing of this place to certain of his Knights so that upon the Conquest by D. William it was given to some of his Normans for it appears by the generall Survey● soon after made where it is written Banintone that Will. fil Corbucion of whom in Studley I shall speak held two hides here and had 4 qua●●ers of Coin and 8 sticks of Ecles out of his part in the Mill and 3 quarters of Salt from Wiche as appurtenant to his part of the Mannour all which being valued at xxx s. were the freehold of one Edricus before the Norman invasion The residue of this town was then possest by Gerinus Urso de Abitot and Osbernus filius Ricardi that which Urso held extending to two hides with a Mill rated at i● s. was valued at xl s. having been the freehold of Ernvi in Edw. the Confessors days but the certain preportion which belong'd to Osbernus cannot be discovered forasmuch as it is certified and valued in gross together with what he had in Hilborough all which one

did bring to passe The body of this worthy Knight shall never come to Hell But yet in Tombe of Marble-stone till Iudgment day shall dwell To which Sir Thomas succeeded Francis and to him Sir Thomas who resided frequently here in Queen Elizabeth's time being a Gentleman of eminent note in those dayes but since his Descendants have seldome dwelt at this place I now come to that part of Polesworth-Parish lying on the North side of Anker Stipershill THe place which bears this name is situate on the Northern side of Anker a little above Polesworth where the ground hath a naturall and steep descent to the River and by the form of an old entrenchment seems to have been a little Fortification Till Edw. 3. time I have not seen any thing of its name but then being written Stipurnshull it was made use of by the Lords of Tamworth-Castle for the keeping of their Threeweeks-Court as it had been I presume in the Marmions time Which Court continued so kept there for a long time after as by severall Records appeareth all the Tenants of that Fee doing their suit and service there but now it is usually kept no more than twice in the yeare Waverton THis had it's name originally from the high situation Waver and Over importing one and the same with suprà and being a member of Polesworth belong'd to the Marmions of Tamworth-Castle for it appears that Robert Marmion and Milisent his wife gave all their demesn lands lying therein to the Nunns of Polesworth in H. 1. time or thereabouts and enfeoffed g Robert de Grendon of certain lands in this Village which lands are by an heir female come with Grendon to the Chetwins Severall other parcells there were which sundry persons held afterwards of the heirs of Marmion viz. the Culies of Rad●live in Com. Leic. The heirs of Iohn de Langdon and Will. de Fago and likewise Roger Hillarie though to whom these were first granted will be hard to discover Bramcote THat this was originally a member of Grendon and so consequently possest by the first Henry de Feriers need not to be doubted neither that R●ger de Grendon or his Ancestor was very antiently enfeoffed thereof by the same Henry for I finde that Walkeline a younger son to that Roger being seated here assumed it for his ●irname and that it was held by his Descendants of the heirs of Ferrers by half a Knight's Fee the posteritie of which Walkeline bore the Armes of Grendon scil two Cheverons but the colours I know no● Of these William son to the said Walche●ine ● was a benefactor to the Nunns of Polesworth by the gift to them of one yard land and four acres lying in this village which grant Robert his son confirmed and bestowed upon the Monks of Aucote a Meadow called Bramcote-Meadow but with Proviso that he and h●● heirs might be Toll-f●ee for the Corn they should grinde at Aucote-Mill To the said Robert succeeded William sirnamed de Grendon in the possession of this Mannour whom I take to be his brother From which William at length descended Sir Thomas de Grend●n Knight that left issue Margaret his daughter and heir first the wife unto ..... Charnells and afterwards of Thomas Malorie Which Margaret in her last widowhood past away all her title in this Mannour unto I●hn Charnells of Snarkeston E●quire her son and heir and to the ne●s of his body lawfully begotten as appears by her Deed bearing date here at Bramcote the Munday next after the Feast of S. Andrew the Apostle 7 H. 6. From which Iohn descended William Charnells who in 6 E. 4. sold it unto Thomas Burdet Esquire Ancestor to Sir Francis Burdet Barone● the present owner thereof as by the Ped●gree in Arrow doth appear where I have spoken historically of that antient Family whose Seat was for many ages at that place till Conway by an heir female had it Since which time till the marriage of Sir Thomas Burdet B●ronet with I●●e daughter and heir to William Franceis of Formark in Com. Derb. Esquire a Ladie of singular endowments they resided here but now have made cho●se of Formark before specified for their principall Mansion Austrey HAving now done with that large Parish of Polesworth I come to Austrey whereof I find that W●l●ric Spot the Founder of Burton-Abby in Com. Staff was possest in the time of King Aethelred viz. about Lx. years before the Norman Conquest as also that it was by him given u to the wife of one Morcar but afterwards it came to Leofrike Earl of Mercia of whom in Coventre I have spoke which Leofrike gave two hides thereof to the Monks of Burton before mentioned Of the residue after the Norman Invasion did Henry de Ferrers hold two hides and a half and Nigel de Albingi five hides and a half which five hides were in the hands of eight Theines in Edward the Confessor's ●or's days the Church standing within the compass of them But in the Conqueror's Survey where the value of the whole is rated at v li. x s. scil that which belong'd to Burton-Abby xxx s. That which Henry de Ferrers had xx s. and that which Nigel de Albingi held iii li. it is written Aldulvestre● the last syllable thereof being Brittish discovering its great antiquitie and the former that it was originally so called from some antient possessor thereof Of what the Monks of Burton had with other additions given by severall persons afterwards they continued possest till the dissolution of that Monasterie But of the residue neither were the posteritie of Henry de Ferrers nor of Nigel de Albingi long owners For Hugo fil Ricardi of whom I have spoke in Hatton had it in H. 1. time In whose male line it rested so long as the same did last and afterwards by Margerie and Maude sisters and coheirs to Hugh fil Willielmi grandchild to the before specified Hugh as the Descent in Hatton sheweth it divolved to other Families the said Maud wife of Stephen de Nerbon making partition thereof with Thomas de Clinton grandson to her sister Margerie Which partition being so made the moytie belonging to Maude descended to Margerie de Nerbone her daughter and heir who gave all her said purpart to the Monks of Burton before mentioned in pure Almes Osbert de Clinton a younger son to the said Thomas unto whom it seems that the other part was by his Father assigned confirming the grant Which Osbert died without issue as I guess for it is plain enough that his purpart of Austrey came to the posteritie of Thomas his elder brother who were Lords of Maxstoke as the Pedegree in Maxstoke and Colshill sheweth and so descended to Edward Lord Clinton who by his Deed bearing date 6. Febr. 31 H. 8. sold this Mannour unto Iames Leveson of Wolverhampton in Com. Staff Esquire who gave it in
