Badsley-Clinton.

THis, forasmuch as it was heretofore a member of Hampton, comes most properly to be next spoke of. In the Conqueror's Survey it is not particularly mentioned, as being involved with Hampton, wherewith it came to Nigel de Albani; which Nigell, or Roger de Moubray his son, enfeoft Walter de Biseg, or the father of the same Walter, thereof, in H. 1. time, as may be inferred from that Certificate q in 12 H. 2. To which Walter, succeeded r Raphe, and to him s Iames de Bisege, who bore for his Armes Frette, as by his Seal t ap∣peareth, and left issue Mzera his daughter and heir, wedded u to Sir Thomas de Clinton of Col∣shill Knight, by whom she had divers sons, as the Descent in Colshill will manifest; whereof Iames (the fourth) had the inheritance of this Lordship assigned w unto him for part of his patrimony, pay∣ing 1d per an. to his Fathers heirs; whence it came to be named Badsley-Clinton, for distinction from another Badsley in this Hundred. To which Iames succeeded Thomas x, who left issue y two daughters and heirs; scil. Ioane, first married to Iohn Co∣ningsby, but afterwards to Iohn Fowkes of Dry-Merston in Gloucestershire, and Petronill to Iohn Wodard of Solihull: which Iohn Coningsby, for C. marks of silver, in 29 E. 3. bought z out the in∣terest that the same Iohn Wodard and Petronill had here.

But whether Coningesby had any issue by the same Ioane, or not, I am uncertain; for evident it is, that Fowkes her second husband, lived a here, and in 18 R. 2. joyned with her in the passing b of it un∣to one Nicholas Dudley a tradesman of Coventre (and Major of that City in 1 H. 4.) But perhaps this was only an estate in trust; for it appears, that in 2 H. 4. Robert Burdet of Kynghull and Ioane his wife, purchased c it of Richard Bushell of Dry-Merrston in Gloucestershire and Margaret his wife; which Margaret was daughter d and heir to Iohn Fowke and Ioan his wife, as the Pedegree of Clinton, in Colshill, doth manifest. From which R. Burdet it came to one Nic. Metley (a Lawyer) by purchase e; who bequeathing f his Body to sepulture in the Temple Church at London, appointed g that this Mannour, should be sold by his Executors (in∣ter alia) and with the moneys thence arising, four Priests provided to celebrate divne Service for his Soule, and the souls of his Ancestors, for one whole year after his decease; or else two Priests for two years: and besides this one other Priest to do as much here at Badsley, for the like terme, constitu∣ting Margaret his mother, Ioane his wife, and

Page 710

Rob. Catesby his Executors: which Margaret and Iane sold h it unto the said Robert Catesby their fellow Executor, who enjoyed i it accordingly till after the battail of Northampton (which was about xx. years) but then did Iohn Hugford of Emscote, in right of Margaret his wife, daughter and heir to the before specified Nicholas Mesley, k enter upon it, and by the countenance of Richard Ne∣vill Earl of Warwick, whose Steward he was, kept possession thereof during the whole life of the said Robert: Howbeit, before the death of the same Iohn Hugford, Nich. Catesby, son and heir of Robert, made his entrie l upon it again, and from that time enjoyed it during the whole life of Hug∣ford, and eleven years after, that the daughters and heirs of the said Iohn (whose Descent in Emscote is to be seen) disseised m him: whereupon the before mentioned Nich. Catesby, discerning the title to be so disputable, past n it away unto Iohn Brome, a Lawyer; by which means it came to the Family of Ferrers, as the Pedegree o, here inserted doth ma∣nifest.

Of this Iohn Brome the Lawyer, who had first to do here, I find p, that he did descend from a Fa∣milie of that name, which for severall Descents were Tanners, and resided in that suburbe of War∣wick, South of the Bridge; the House still retai∣ning the name of Brome's-place: and that Robert, his grandfather, was a Lawyer, as also q Steward of the Courts to Thomas de Beauchamp Earl of War∣wick, for his lands in this Countie: And that Iohn, his Father, served r in the Parliament of 8 H. 4. as one of the Burgesses for the town of Warwick; and likewise that they were owners of Brome-Hail, or Brome's place in Lapworth, whence 'tis believed they originally came. Which Iohn, before he so acquired Catesbye's title to this Lordship, had s certain lands within the precincts thereof, in right of his mother (scil. Ioane daugh∣ter and heir unto Thomas Rodie) and for a great part of King Henry the sixt's reign, bore much sway in these parts, being t under Treasurer in the Exche∣quer: But in our publique Records his name is mi∣staken, and written Brown, as appeareth in the Commission u for assessing of a Subsidie in 14 H. 6. and for treating w with the people about a Loan, of money to the King.

From 30 H. 6. till the end of that King's reign I find x him in Commission for conservation of the Peace in this Countie; and in y 38 H. 6. one of the Commissioners of Array: Howbeit, after the beginning of E. 4. reign, he was set aside as to any publique employment, and at length had the hard fate to be slain by Iohn Herthill Steward to Rich. Nevill, the great Earl of Warwick; who sending for z him out of the White Friers Church in London, where he was then at Mass, upon some words which hapned betwixt thema, kil'd him in

Page 711

the Porch, the occasion of their quarrell, being (in shre) this . Herthill, having mortgaged the Mannour of Woodlow to this Iohn, would have redeem'd it again for the money borrowed; but Brome, lying upon advantage, resolved to keep the land: whereupon, growing into height of words in disputing the business, Herthill mortally woun∣ded him. Before he departed the world, having time to make his Will, he used therein this expres∣sion , scil. that he forgave his son Thomas, who smiled when he saw him run through by Herthill, in the White Friers Church-Porch: In which Church (for there he was buried) he had this Epitaph up∣on his Tombe-stone.

Nbilis & docti sic Regni jure periti, Sub••••it ut Pulvis Brome corpus cerne Johannis: Ingen•••• natus estis Warwic Comitatus, Huus in Ecclesia facta qui corruit ense; Pravorum manibus sub Missae tempore caesus, Sarcophago Nonis sepelitur mense Novembris, Sexaginta Centum quater octo jungito Mille, Alme pater requiem sibi praestat habere perennem.

By Beatrice his wife, daughter to Sir Raphe Shirley Knight, he left issue divers Children; of which, Nicholas succeeded him, as Lord of this Mannour; who from 3 H. 7. till 9 H. 8. was a Jutce of Peace in this Shire; as also for divers year a Commissioner for the Gaol-deliverie at Warwick, and of Array: and in 20 H. 8. Shi∣rff of this Countie and Leicestershire. This Nich. resenting the death of his Father very much, about thee years after, way-lay'd the before mentio∣ned Iohn Herthill in Longbridg-field, in his pas∣age towards Barford to keep the Earl of War∣wick's Court; and there, after a short encounter, slew him. Whereupon Elizabeth, Herthill's widow, began to stir against him, by way of Ap∣peal, for killing her husband: but by mediation of friends, Arbitrators were chosen to accord the bu∣siness, who awarded that she should release un∣to the same Nicholas all Actions personall, and Appeales, and that he the said Nich. should pay Cli. sterling in S. Maries Church at Warwick, for the maintenance of a Priest, for one whole year, to sing Masse and pray for the souls, of Iohn Brome and Iohn Herthill, so slain as hath been ex∣pressed, she the said Eliz. finding to the Priest, B••••••d, Wine, and Wax, as oft as he should so say Ma••••: And moreover that the same Nich. should at his own prper costs, by the space of two years, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 a Priest to sing Masse in the Church of Bad∣sley-••••••••ton, for the sous abovesaid: which A∣ward bears date at Coventre 18 Martii 12 E. 4.

Of this Nich. I have further seen , that comming on a time into his Parlour here at Badsley, he found the Parish-Priest chocking his wife un∣der the chin, whereat he was so enraged that he presently kil'd him; For which offence, obtaining the King's Pardon, and the Popes, he was en∣joyn'd to do something towards the expiation thereof; whereupon he new built the Towre∣steeple here at Badsley, from the ground, and bought three Bells for it; and raised the body of the Church ten foot higher: all which was exprest in his Epitaph, now torn away: And likewise built the Steeple of Packwood; in which Church windows was this Inscription, Orate pro anima Nicholai Brome qui Campanile de Pacwood fieri fe∣cit. But farther of him I have not found any thing memorable, other than that he inclosed n this Lord∣ship, and that he departed o this world 29. Aug. Anno 1517. (9 H. 8.) leaving issue p by Eliz. his first wife, daughter to Sr Raufre Arundell Knight, Isabell wife to Thomas Marrow Sergeant at Law, and Constance married to Sir Edward Fer∣rers Knight. By q Katherine his second wife, daugh∣ter of . . . . . . Lumpeck, Edward Brome, who died childless; And by r Lettice his third wife, daughter of Nicholas Catesby Raph Brome, from whom they of Woodlow are descended.

Which Sir Edward Ferrers bing son and heir to Sir Henry Ferrers of Hambleton in Com. Rutl. Knight (second son of Thomas Ferrers of Tam∣worth-Castle in this Countie, by Eliz. sister and coheir to Sir Baldwin Frevile Knight, as the Des∣cent in Tamworth sheweth) had s, in right of the said Constance, this Lordship of Badsley for her share; whose posterity have continued owners of it ever since: amongst which, the memory of Henry Ferrers great gradchild to the same Sir Edward (who for his eminent knowledge in Antiquities, gave a fair lustre to that antient and noble Family, whereof he was no small ornament) is yet of high esteem in these parts.

That which is now the Church here (dedicated to S. Iames) having been antiently a Chapell of Hampton in Arden, and therewith coming to the Canons of Kenilworth (as in Hampton is shewed) was appropriated t to that Monasterie in Anno 1217. (2 H. 3.) But notwithstanding this Ap∣propriation, it continued as a Rectorie, and in an. 1291. (19 E. 1.) was valued u at two marks, w in 14 E. 3. at Lxvi s. viii d. and in x 26 H. 8. at iv li. vi s. viii d.

In the upper part of the East window of the Chancell here at Badsley, are curiously represen∣ted in Glasse, the portraitures of Sir Edward Fer∣rers Knight, and the Lady Constance his wife, with three sons and six daughters, all kneeling before S. George, with this expression in a scroul coming from his mouth Sancte Georgi ora pro nobis: as also his Armes empaling hers, both with quartrings, and supported with two Vnicorns, Ermine. And in the lower part of the same window, is the picture of the same Sir Edward, and the Lady Constance his wife, with Nicholas Brome Equire her Father, all kneeling in their furcoats of Ames, before a Cruci∣fix; the scroul from the lips of the said Sir Edward, having this written therein, scil. Amor meus Cru∣cifixus est. And of a later time set up, towards the bottom of the same window, these four Coats.

1. Ferrers empaling Hampden. 2. Ferrers em∣paling Windsor. 3. Ferrers empaling White. 4. Fer∣rers impaling Pto, with these Inscriptions, as I have here divided them.

All which portraitures and Armes, together with the Monument of the same Sir Edward Fer∣rers, and the Lady Constance his wife, situate in an Arch on the South side of this Chancell, were drawn by my self, and designed ready for the Gra∣ver, with great curiosity, to the intent that the beau∣ty of them, which is so subject to perish, by time and unhappy accidents, might have been represen∣ted to the world, in such sort as others are in this present work, for their lasting memorie: But so fru∣gall a person is the present heir of the Family, now residing here, as that, he refusing to contribute any thing towards the charge thereof, and it not being proper for me to undergo it totally, they are omitted.

The Epitaph upon that Monument of the before specified Sir Edward Ferrers Knight.

Here lyeth Sir Edward Ferrers Knight, son and heir of Sir Henry Ferrers, and Margaret Hekstall his wife, of East Peckham in the County of Kent Knight.
