Maxstoke.

DEscending somewhat lower by the guidance of this River, I come to Maxstoke, in the Conqueror's Survey d 1.1 written Machi••one, and cer∣tified to contain five hides, except one virgate, the Woods being one mile in length, and half a mile in breadth, and the whole valued at xl s. which then belonged unto Turchil de Warwick (Alnod holding it as his Tenant) but in Edward the Con∣fessor's time, to one A••lmundus. I have not seen when it was first granted from the Descendants of that Turchil, unto the Limesies, Lords, of Long-Ichinton and Solihull, in this Countie (of which later, viz. Solihull, it was reputed e 1.2 a member in 15 E. 2.) but that they had it, and very antiently, appears by the Shiriff's Accompt in f 1.3 6 Ioh. where Iohn de Braiose, and Amabil his wife, gave a Fine of XL. marks and a Palfrey, to have possession of it and Bule••; unto both which, Alice the widow of Iohn de Limesie, brother to the said Annabil, being at that time Countess of Warwick, claimed an interest; having had the King's Precept for receiving seisin thereof, for which she had likewise given a Fine: but in that Record it is written Maxtoc.

From this Amabil•• for she died without issue (as by the Descent in Ichington appeareth) it came to William de O••ingsells, son of Hugh de Odingsells, by Basilia her sister: Which William in 34 H. 3. had a Charter g 1.4 of Free warren in all his demesn lands here; and left issue William, who, in 13 E. 1. claimed, here likewise, a Court-Leet, with Gallows, Tumbrell, and Assize of Bread and Beer, by Prescription, which were allowed h 1.5; the Hamlets of Merston and Cotes (now Coton) being members i 1.6 thereof, the same William de Odingsells having xiv. Freeholders there, from whom he received xxxvi s. viii d. per annum Rent. Unto which William succeeded Edmund k 1.7 his son and heir, who dying without issue, the inheritance came to be divided betwixt l 1.8 his four Sisters and heirs, whose names with their matches I have in Solihull exprest. Of these Ida m 1.9, the eldest had this Lordship for her share; and by marriage with Iohn de Clinton, one of the sonns unto Thomas de Clinton of Amington (eldest son of Sir Thomas de Clinton of Colshill) brought it unto that Family; wherein it continued till 16 H. 6. that Sir William de Clinton passed it away, in exchange, unto Humphrey Earl Stafford, for two Lordships in Northamptonshire, as I shall shew by and by. But forasmuch as the said Iohn de Clinton and his descendants, being persons of much eminen∣cy, had here their seat; I shall, before I pro∣ceed farther, say something, historically, of them.

This Iohn, before his marriage with the said Ida, resided n 1.10 at Aminton, as his Father did; and was called o 1.11 Iohn de Clinton junior, whilst his Uncle Iohn (whose ••eat was at Colshill) lived. In 29 Edw. 1. he served p 1.12 in the Parliament at Lin∣colne as one of the Knights for this Shire; and the same year had speciall Summons q 1.13, amongst divers other eminent persons, to attend the King at Bar∣wick upon Twede, on the Feast day of the Nati∣vitie of S. Iohn Baptist, to march against the Scots: At which time the King invading r 1.14 Scot∣land with his Army Royall, as a badge of his

favour to this Iohn, for his speciall service in that expedition (whom he calls nostre chier vadlet (his beloved s 1.15 Esquier) by his Letters t 1.16 Patent dated at Glascow 2. Aug. ensuing, granted unto him lands, in that Kingdom, to the value of XL li. per annum according to an indifferent extent, being part of the estate belonging to Malkolme Dromond, then in Arms against the said K. Edward. After which viz. in Iune 34 E. 1. he attended u 1.17 Edw. P. of Wales, by the King's speciall command into Ponthieu: and in 1 E. 2. was made w 1.18 Governour of the Castle and Honour of Wallingford: But in 8•• of the said King's reign•• he departed x 1.19 this life, leaving Iohn his y 1.20 son and heir within age, and William a youn∣ger son, who became a person of great eminency, as I shall shew anon.

Which Iohn in z 1.23 17 Edw. 2. was a Knight and in 3 Edw. 3. constituted a 1.24 one of the Conservators of the Peace in this Countie: howbeit, shortly af∣ter, he arrived to far greater advancement (by his Brother's means, as I guess) for in 6, 7. & 8 E. 3. he was summoned b 1.25 to Parliament a∣mongst the Barons of this Realm: but little have I farther seen in relation to him, though he lived till the twentieth year of this King's reign at least, other than that he bore c 1.26 for his Armes Argent upon a cheif Azure, two Mullets of 6. points Or, peirced gules; and that he wedded d 1.27 Margerie the daughter to Sir William Corbet of Chadsley in Worcestershire, in 18 Edw. 2. by whom he had issue Sir Iohn de Clinton Knight his son and heir: but his story I shall respite for a while, till I have spoke of William his noble Uncle, whose great actions and eminent imployments made no small splendor amongst our English Worthies of that age.

This William being a e 1.28 Knight, in 17 Edw. 2. wedded f 1.29 Iulian the daughter g 1.30 and heir unto Sir Thomas de Leybourn, widow h 1.31 of Iohn Lord Ha∣stings of Bergavenny, in 3 Edw. 3. Which match was (as I guess) a great step to his farther advancement: For the next year following, he was constituted i 1.32 Justice of Chester, scil. 23. Oct. and within lesse than two months after, Consta∣ble k 1.33 of Dovor Castle, as also Warden of the Cinq-Ports: in which high places his prudence grew so consp••cuous, that he was thought wor∣thy to be rankt amongst the superiour Nobi••ity, and thereupon had summons l 1.34 to the Parliament held at Westminster, in 5 Edw. 3. which ad∣vancement to Honour, did rather increase his pie∣tie than ••late his minde: F••r having that very year obtained License m 1.35 to amorize xx li. per an∣num Lands and Rents lying here, in Maxstoke, to∣gether with the advowson of the Church, for the maintenance of certain Chantry-Priests to cele∣brate divine Service daily there, for the soul of King Edward the third, after his departure out of this life, and for the souls of his Ancestors; as also for his own soul, and the soul of Iulian his wife; about five months following, he setled n 1.36 the num∣ber of five Priests, for the purposes aforesaid. In 7 E. 3. he was constituted o 1.37 Admirall of the Seas on the Western coast of England. In 10 Edw. 3. he began p 1.38 the Foundation of a goodly Monastery for Canons Regular of S. Augustin, on the South part of this Lordship, which he amply endowed (as I shall shew by and by) And standing high in the King's favour, became forthwith advanc't to the Earldome of Huntendon, as by his Char∣ter q 1.39 of Creation dated 16. Martii, 11 Edw. 3. ap∣peareth; having not onely xx li. given r 1.40 him out of the issues of that Countie, to be payd by the Shiriff at the Feasts of Easter and Michaelmasse, yearly; but for his better support of that Honour, in consideration of his former acceptable services, a grant s 1.41 of a thousand marks per an. lands, to himself and the heirs male of his bodie for ever: And more∣over a speciall Precept t 1.42 directed to Rich. de F••riby, late Master of the Wardrobe, to account and make satisfaction unto him for his Fee and Robes due from the time that he had been retained to serve the said King as a Baneret.

In 12 Edw. 3. he had another Patent u 1.43, con∣stituting him Constable of Dovor-Castle again: So likewise in 15 E. 3. for being Admirall w 1.44 of the Western Seas; and in x 1.45 17 E. 3. for the custodie of all the King's Forests from Trent Southwards. Being therefore thus honoured and much••, and al∣so advanc't to such places of power and trust, in 19 E. 3. he began the y 1.46 Foundation of a fair and strong Castle, here, in a quadrangular forme, for the behoof of his nephew, Iohn de Clinton, and his heirs (having no issue of his own body) the Pro∣spect whereof is represented on the next page; ma∣king z 1.47 a Park of the Out-wood: And the next year following, he received a 1.48 the summe of 82•• li. 12 s. 04 d. of the King's gift, as a remunera∣tion of his services in the Warrs beyond Seas. This noble Earl bore b 1.49 for his Armes Argent Crusulè fichè sable, upon a Cheif Azure two Mullets Or, pierced Gules; which Coat differs from that of his elder brothers onely in the Cross∣lets, having not been born by any other of this Fa∣mily till of late time. By his Testament c 1.50 bearing date 23. Aug. 1354. (28 Edw. 1.) he be∣queathed his body to s••pulture in the Priorie-Church, here, at Maxstoke, and departed d 1.51 this life 25. Aug. the same year, leaving Sir Iohn de Clinton Knight (his brother's son) his next heir, then 28. years of age. Which Sir Iohn from 31 Edw. 3. during all the same King's reign, as

also of K. Ric. 2. till his death, having e 1.52 summons to every Parliament with the rest of the English Barons, was likewise imployed in sundry affairs of trust in this County; viz. in f 1.53 41 E. 3. and * 1.54 15 R. 2. for arraying of men; in g 1.55 3, 5, h 1.56 and 6 i 1.57 Ric. 2. for pursuing of the Rebells; and in 20 R. 2. upon the attainder and banishment of Tho. de Beauchamp E. Warwick, had the Castle of Warwick, with all the lands and Mannours thereto belonging, committed to k 1.58 his custody.

[illustration]

By Idonea l 1.59, his first wife, one of the sisters and at length coheirs unto William Lord Say, he left issue Sir William m 1.60 and Sir Thomas n 1.61 de Clinton, both K^ts and Edward o 1.62 a younger son: Of which Sir Thomas I shall take farther notice when I come to Aminton, but Sir William (the eldest) died before him in 7 R. 2. His second wife was Elizabeth p 1.63, one of the daughters & heirs to Will. de la Plaunch of Haver∣sham in Com. Buck. having been first q 1.64 married to Robert Lord Grey of Rotherf••eld, secondly r 1.65 to Sir Iohn de Bermingham, of Bermingham in this Countie, thirdly s 1.66 to him, and lastly t 1.67 to Sir Iohn Russell Knight. But by her, having no issue, he de∣parted u 1.68 this life in 20 R. 2. leaving William his grandson his next heir, and of full age: which Lady Elizabeth held w 1.69 this Castle, with other lands set∣led upon her at marriage, during her life; and ha∣ving been a great Benefactress to the foundation of the Collegiate-Church at Knoll, in 4 H. 5. at length became one of the coheirs to Sir Roger Hil∣larie Knight, as apeareth by her Deed x 1.70, whereun∣to her Seal of Armes is affixt, in which she bears her paternall coat in the mid'st, and the two Noble-men, her husbands, on the dexter side, with the two Knights (Bermingham and Russell) on the other: In whose Testament y 1.71 I finde little memorable, farther than that she disposed her bo∣dy to be buried in the Chancell at Haversham, above specified, before the Image of our Lady, and gave to the Canons, here, at Maxstoke, to pray for her soul, and the soul of the Lord Clinton, her husband, xl s. But in 2 H. 6. she died z 1.72, being more than Lxxx. years of age; so that then the possession a 1.73 of this Castle and Mannour returned to her grandson-in Law, scil. Sir William de Clinton Knight, Lord b 1.74 Clinton and Say.

Which Sir William sate in Parliament, with the rest of the Barons, from 23 R. 2. till his death, as appears by his severall summons c 1.75. In 1 H. 4. he was in Commission d 1.76 for arraying of men in this Countie, and in 9 H. 5. retained by e 1.77 Indenture to serve the King in his warrs of France, with xl. men at Armes; viz. himself, one Knight, and the rest Esquires, as also CCC. Archers well and suffi∣ciently mounted, armed, and arrayed; taking for himself iv s. per diem, for the Knight ii s. and for each other man at Armes i s. with the reward accu∣stomed. Neither was he forgetfull of the before mentioned Canons here at Maxstoke; for I finde that f 1.78 in 10 H. 4. he bestowed on them x li. year∣ly Rent issuing out of certain lands lying in Dun∣ton-Basset in Com. Leic. And having g 1.79 married Anne, daughter h 1.80 to the Lord Botreaux, but wi∣dow i 1.81 of Sir Fouk Fitzwarin Knight, departed this life in 10 H. 6. leaving Iohn his son and heir xxii. years of age: Of whom I have little to say, considering that within six years after he came to his estate, he passed away the inheritance of this Castle and Lordship, unto Humphrey Earl Staf∣ford, and Anne his wife, in exchange for the Mannours of Whishton, and Wodeford, in Nort∣hamptonshire, as by the Deed k 1.82, whereunto his Seal of Armes is affixt (viz. quarterly Clinton and Say, with two Greyhounds supporting the Timbre) appeareth; which bears date 17. Maii 16 H. 6. After which though he retained some o∣ther Lordships in this County, yet did he not re∣side therein; so that here I am to leave this branch of that ancient and noble Family (from whence the now Earl of Lincolne is lineally (descen∣ded) and trace down the succession of this Ca∣stle through such other hands as it hath since fallen into.

It seems that the before specified Earl, had a a very great liking to this Castle; for no sooner did he so obtain it, but that he plated the Gates all over with Iron, and adorn'd them with his own Coat, impaled with Nevill (his wife being the daughter to Raphe Nevill Earl of Westmer∣land) and supported by two Antelopes, in respect that Anne, his mother, was one of the daughters and coheirs unto Thomas of Woodstoke Duke of Gloucester: And in further memorie that these Gates were then so strengthened and beautified, he caused the burning Nave, and Knot (the antient Badges of his Ancestors) to be imbossed in the Iron-work thwarting the midst thereof, as are yet to be seen. This great Earl, being crea∣ted Duke of Buckingham in 23 H. 6. constitu∣ted l 1.83 William Draicote his Constable of this Ca∣stle; for executing which Office, he had the Fee of five marks per annum. Within the body there∣of is a little Chapell, in which, by speciall dis∣pensation from Reginald Boulers then Bishop of this Diocess, was solemnized m 1.84 the marriages of Iohn Talbot son and heir to Iohn Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury, and Katherine Stafford, one of the daughters of this Duke, in 36 H. 6. As al∣so of Iohn Stafford one of his younger sons (after∣wards created n 1.85 Earl of Wiltshire) and Constance the daughter of Henry Greene Esquire. To which Duke succeeded Henry his grandson; upon whose attainder in 1 Ric. 3. the custodie of it was com∣mitted o 1.86 to Walter Grant, one of the Gentlemen-Hu••shers to the Queen.

The next thing observable thereof, is, that King p 1.87 Ric. 3. upon his march towards Not∣tingham, in the last year of his reign, came from Kenilworth hither, and commanded, that part of the inner buildings should be taken down and carried to that Castle, with all speed: but what was done therein I know not, for he was soon af∣ter slain at Bosworth-field; whereupon, King Henry, his successor, constituted q 1.88 William Trussell E••quire, his Constable here. Howbeit, within a short space, Edward Duke of Buckingham, son and heir to the said Henry, reposessing what his Fa∣ther had, in 18 H. 7. made r 1.89 Iohn Harewell of Waxen's-Wotton Esquire, Constable thereof: But that Duke forfaited all by his attainder in 13 H. 8. Whereupon Commissioners were ap∣pointed to enquire, what Castles, Mannours, Lands, &c. he was at that time seized of, with the names of all his Officers and their severall Fees: At which time it was certified s 1.90 (inter alia) that Hugh Mervyn Esquire, had the Keepership of the Park, here, having been admitted there∣to by the said Duke, at ii d. by the day; as also Bayliffe there, at ii d. by the day, the old Fee ha∣ving been but a penny; William Phipps Porter, at xl s. per annum, by an old grant from the said Duke for life, he being then above Lxxx. years of age: and Iohn Archer Constable, his Fee Lxvi s. viii d. per annum.

Which Duke suffred death 17 Maii in the year abovesaid: whereupon 20. Octob. following, the King granted t 1.91 unto Sir William Compton Knight, and to the heirs male of his body, this Castle, Park, and Mannour, to be held of the Crown in Capite by Knights service: but because there had been a Recovery u 1.92 of them suffred by the said Duke in 5 H. 8. whereby the Recoverers stood seized to the use of himself and his heirs, so that it did not eschaet to the King, by his said forfaiture; therefore, to make all sure, it was in the Parliam••nt of 15 H. 8. enacted w 1.93, that the before specified Duke, should stand and be convicted and attain∣ted of High Treason, and forfait to the King and his heirs, all Honours, Castles, Mannour, &c. whereof he, or any person to his use, were seized in Fee-simple, Fee-tail, &c. the 24^th of Apr••l 4. H. 8. or any time since; with a speciall Prov••so, that the same Act should not prejudice the K••ng's grant above mentioned, made to Sir William Compton Knight, in 13. of his reign. Which Sir Will. Com∣pton had issue x 1.94 Peter, upon whose death in 36 H. 8. the King supposing he had left no issue male, so that the inheritance of this Castle had again re∣turn'd to the Crown, made a grant y 1.95 unto Edward Lord Clinton of, the Custodie of it and the Park, with the Herbage, and paunage thereof; as also of the Bathwick of the Lordship, for life: but when he understood, that the said Peter had a son (born after his Father's death, as my authoritie saith) he then made a new z 1.96 grant of the premisses to the same Lord Clinton, during the minority of the heir, then his Ward: whereupon the said Lord Clinton, in consideration of Lxx li. sterling, made an assig∣nation a 1.97 of the said Custodie, &c. unto Iohn Hales Gentleman, at that time Clerk of the Hamper, and a very active man in the world (as in Coventre I have shewed.) To the posterity of which Sir Will. Compton it continued, till that Will. Lord Compton, his great grandchild, by his Deed b 1.98 bearing date 3. Febr. 39 Eliz. sold it unto Sir Thomas Egerton K^t. then Lord Keeper of the great Seal; from whom Thomas Dilke Esquire (afterwards Knight) purcha∣sed c 1.99 it, scil. 21. Iunii 41 Eliz. whose grandson, William, now enjoys it.

The Church (dedicated to S. Michael) was in anno 1291. (19 E. 1.) valued d 1.100 at viii. marks. In 5 E. 3. Sir William de Clinton Knight, purposing to found a Chantrie therein, obtained License * 1.101 to be∣stow the advouson thereof (inter alia) upon the same; with Lands and Rents to the value of xx li. per annum. In pursuance whereof, he gave to Iohn Lynie Priest, Warden of the said Chantrie and his successors, a certain piece of land lying, then, be∣twixt the road-way leading from Filongley to∣wards Colshill, on the one side, and the Church∣yard of Maxstoke on the other; and extending in length from the Lord of Maxstoke's Quarrie, to the Pale of his Park; together with the advouson of the Church, as by his Charter f 1.102 bearing date at Maxstoke, on the Feast day of the Annunciation of our Lady 6 E. 3. appeareth. And moreover, by the same Charter, granted unto the said Warden and his successors 8. Messuages & six yard land, lying in Long-Ichinton; as also the Bodies of viii. Natives dwelling there, with all their Chattells and Off∣spring: And besides this, xx s. yearly Rent, pay∣able by one William Snede, and Iohn his son, out of a Messuage lying in Long-Ichinton aforesaid, with the reversion of the same Messuage, and one yard land, after their deceases: and lastly 4. Acres of land lying in the said town of Ichinton together with the advouson of the Church.

Which endowment being so made, he forthwith by the consent of Roger de Northburgh, at that time Bishop of this Dioces, Iohn Lynie the then Parson (whom he constituted Warden, as above∣said) Sir Iohn de Clinton, Lord of Maxstoke, his brother and Parishioner there; as also all the other Parishioners of Maxstoke; ordained g 1.103 that the said five Priests should thenceforth celebrate di∣vine

Serv••ce daily in the same Church, where the Bodies of his Ancestors lay interred, for the good estate of him the said Sir William de Clinton, Iulian his wife, Sir Iohn de Clinton, his brother, Alice his wife; and for the souls of Sir Iohn de Clinton his Father, the Lady Ida his Mother; as also for the good estate of Edward the third then K••ng of England, Laurence de Hastings, and for a••l the Lords Hastings, in time to come: And moreover of the said Roger then Bishop of Coven∣tre and Lichfield, Henry Prior of Coventre, and ••heir succ••ssors; and for the souls of all the K••ngs o•• England, Lords Hastings, Bishops of Coventre ••nd Lichfield, Priors of Coventre, Bre∣thren and sisters, Parents and benefactors, and all the faith••u••l deceased.

Appointing, that the said Warden and his succes∣sors; as a••so the Subwarden and his, should be always Priests in Orders, admitted and instituted by the Bishop or Coventre and Lichfield, for the time being; and after the decease of him the said Sir William, always presented by the said S••r Iohn de Clinton, his brother, and his heirs, having a House convenient for themselves, and the other three, adjoyning to the Churchyard of Maxstoke af••resaid, there to inhab••te and lodge together. And that the said Warden and his succ••ss••rs sh••uld p••••v••de from time to time•• B••••••ks, V••••••ments, L••ghts; as also two Clerks f••r the use of himself, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Sub-warden and the other Priests, aswell in the Church as in the House•• viz. their Hall and Chamber•• n••ght and day. And m••reover, that he and his said Sub-warden, and th•• oth••r Priests•• sh••••••d wear white Surplice••, with black Copes and S••••les, after the manner of the Vicars-Chorall in the Ca••hedrall of Lichfield, whil'st they were a∣bout divine Service both in the Church and Quire. And that the charge of the Books and Ornaments sh••uld belong to the Sub-warden, whose Office was to direct c••ncerning the celebration of Masses; viz. of wh••m, what howers; and in what order, by himself and the other Priests they were to be performed; And that Bread, Wine, Water, and Lights should be ready for the said Masses and di∣vine exercises, but at the charge of the Warden to be provided.

And further, that aswell the Warden, when he could fitly be at leisure, and Sub-warden as all the Priests, except some great occasion did hinder, every day after dinner and before V••••pers, should, together in the said Church, sing the full Office of the Dead, viz. Placebo and D••ri••e, ex∣cept on double F••••tivalls and the time of Easter, in wh••ch the•• ought to observe the custome of the Church of Salisbury in sa••••ing the said Office. A•• also 〈…〉〈…〉, and Canonicall howers, with Note•• in the Q••••re of the Church aforesaid, admitting the Chaplains and Clerks of the same Church to sing with them, if they pleased. And like∣wise, that after the Compline, they should say the Commen••••••tion of the Dead•• in ••he said Quire, accor∣ding ••o the course above described: And every Holy day, in the Quire together, the seven Penitentiall Psalmes, and the ••v. ••radualls, with the Letanie and accustomed Prayers, unless, there were cause ex∣prest by the Warden, that they should say them out of the Qu••re. And that both the Warden and Sub-warden & all the other Priests; should every day ce∣lebrate their particular Masses in the said Church, or Quire, according to appointment, except there were a lawfull impediment, so that upon every Sunday, the Masse of the B. Virgin should be celebrated with Note, and the Mass of the day in such sort as was fit.

And upon every Munday, one of them, whom the Sub-warden should appoint, to celebrate the said Mass of our Lady by Note, with the Office for the Dead, for the souls of the persons before recited, and all the faithfull deceased: And after the death of the said Sir William de Clinton, and Sir Iohn his brother, for their souls also: And that another of the said Priests should celebrate, the same day, the high Mass of S. Michaell th'arch Angell, Patron of that Church, and of all the holy Angells, with Note; and the rest throughout the week, thus; Upon every Tuesday the Mass of S. Thomas, some∣time Archbishop of Canterbury, by Note, besides the high Mass of the day by Note also; On Wedns∣day the first Mass of our blessed Ladie, by Note, and the high Mass of the said day with Note, as also a memoriall of S.

Virgin by Note, and the high Mass of the holy Cross the same day by Note also: On Satturday the first Mass of S. Iohn the Evangelist, by Note, and the high Mass of the glorious Virgin Mary. And that every Priest in his severall Mass, should specially pray for him the said Sir William, and all the persons before recited, both living and dead: as also, that in his Memento for the living, speciall mention being made of them as aforesaid, they should pray for the good estate of the Church and K••ngdom, and all the Benefactors to the said Chantrie. And lastly, that after his decease, they should in the first place remember him; next his Father and Mother, Brother, and their wives afore∣said; and afterwards the rest before expressed, with the Benefactors to the sa••d Chantrie, and after them whom they should think fit; and then all the faith∣full deceased. Which Ordination so made, bears date at Fulbroke in this Conntie 21 Iunii anno 1332. (6 ••. 3.) and was ratified h 1.104 by the before specified Bishop the sixt of Iuly following.
