APPENDIX

IN the chancel of the Clifford Chambers, co. Gloucestershire, is a mural monument containing two figures in the dresses of the period, kneeling, and between them an inscription and shield, which contains fifteen quarterings of the family of Raynesford; the seventh quartering is Glanville, Argent, a chief indented Or. Also in the chancel of Ebrington Church, in the same county, is, upon a table tomb, the effigy of a man, recumbent, in the robes of a Judge: it represents John Fortescue, Justice of England; and on his shield are likewise the Arms of Glanville.

On the forty quarterings of the Right Hon. Harry Grey, Earl of Stamford, the third is that of Glanville. The Right Hon. John Griffin-Griffin, Lord Howard de Walden, quarters in the 113th place, the Arms of Glanville. The shield of Right Hon. Thomas, Lord Say and Sele, contains seventy-nine Arms, of which the thirty-third is also Glanville.

On the shield of the Right Hon. Lord Lyttelton, which represents 122 coats, the seventy-fourth is for Glanville.

On the shield of the Right Hon. George Venables Vernon, Lord Vernon of Linderton, which contains 100 quarterings, the eighty-fifth is Glanville, Baron of Bromholm.

In the old mansion of the Glanvilles at Kilworthy, near Tavistock, are numerous Coats of Arms, the following being a description of some of them :

7th COAT. -- Hen. Manaton de Harwood, m. Martha Andrews, Lyme Regis. Arms : Sable, a saltire Argent between four cross-crosslets Or. About different parts of the house are thirty-six other coats, shewing the descent of the Manatons and their alliances with other houses, such as Buller, Hockmore, Manaton, Edgecumbe, Manpowder, Ilbert, Carminow, Roscarrock, Courtney, Kingdon, Trecarrol, Tremaine, Hunt, etc., etc. Kilworthy, and most of the property in and about Tavistock, now belongs to the Duke of Bedford.

In the pedigree of the Pastons of Paston, Norfolk (see pages 17 and 18), now in the possession of the Duke of Newcastle, and which was printed by the Norfolk Archaeological Society, it says, "Walter the second sone of Edmund Paston."   "This Walter second sonne of Edmund de Paston did firste give his coate the chief indented Or, which the Pastons beare at this day as an ornam't unto the same, for that it is part of Glanvile's coat, whose daughter, his father Edmund did marry, as doth appear by one of the old pedigress before menc'oned, wherein is set down the Armes that the Pastons did beare from Wulstan the first, until this Walter, and none of them did give this chiefe before him," etc.

In a brief of evidence it affirms -- "They shewed a lineal descent how their first ancestor Wulstan came out of France and Sir William de Glanvile together, his kinsman that after founded the Priory of Bromholme by the Towne of Paston and the Towne of Benhall, and how Wulstan had issue Wulstan which bare Armes Gould, flowrets Azure, and how he had issue Raffe and Robert which Raffe bare Armes as his father and Robert the younger bare silver flouret, Azure, and Robert had issue Edmund and Walter, which Edmund the elder bare as his father and his brother because he married Glanville's daughter, a chiefe indented Goulde the field silver flourets Azure, and now their ancestors again bare with less number." -- Page 34, N. A. Society.

The different coats as formerly borne by the Glanvilles were : Glanville, Earl of Suffolk, Argent, a chief indented Azure, and also per pale Azure and Argent; Glanville of Suffolk and Broomhall, Argent, a chief indented Azure; Glanville, Azure, on a chief Or a lion passant Gules; Glanville, Azure, three crescents between nine cross-crosslets fitchee argent; Glanville, Per pale Azure and Gules, three saltires Argent ; Glanville, Or, a chief indented Azure (these arms are still used by the noble family of Butler); Glanville, Azure, three saltires Or.

"At Berdewell Hall, in West Herley, Norfolk, which was a fine specimen of an old manorial house. When it was pulled down in 1725, there was a family chapel, and in the parlour and other windows, amongst numerous Coats of Arms, were those of Glanville, Argent, a chief indented Azure, and Southwell." (Blomfield's 'Norfolk,' 307.) Glanville Arms to be seen at Ash, in co. Suffolk. (Davy's 'Suff. Col.')

Geraldus Cambrensis says that the compiler of the Laws of England, in the reign of King Henry II., was not the celebrated Lord Chief Justice Ranulph de Glanville, but another Ranulph de Glanville who flourished in the time of Henry III.; perhaps he is the same person who is mentioned by Johannis Pitsei, 1619, as living in 1230.

Mr. Joseph Hunter, in his Preface to his 'Fines in Curia Domini Regis, A.D. 1195 -- 1214,' remarks concerning the legal work attributed to Chief Justice R. de Glanville that "it is most important to observe that if the treatise in which they (the Fines) are found were written in the reign of King Henry II., it must have been at the very close of his reign, unless the copies are come down to us interpolated. . . . (1) One which (the fine) was levied before Ranulph de Glanville at Westminster on the Vigil of St. Peter in the 33rd of Henry II.; and (2), One which was levied, first in a court of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, and afterwards before the King's Justices, the Bishops of Ely and Norwich, and Ranulph de Glanville, on the Tuesday after the Feast of St. Simon and St. Jude, 33rd of Henry II."

Some authorities affirm that Lord Chief Justice Glanville only had daughters, and others that he left male issue. It seems certain that before he set out to fight for the recovery of the Holy Land, he settled portions of his large possessions upon his three daughters, but there is, so far as I know, no authority for saying, at least facts seem to prove the contrary, that he divided the whole amongst his daughters, but that he only gave them their marriage dowers.

Thomas Craig, the most judicious of all the writers on Feudal Law, and whose work does honour to Scotland, speaks of the 'Regiam Majestatem' as stolen from Glanville's Work (vide pages 43 and 44), and treats the opinion of his countrymen, who supposed it to be an original account of their laws, as a miserable blindness and delusion.

1386, Robert de Glanville de Makesey (Rymer, 'Foedera').

John Glanvile, Rector of Acle, Norfolk, 1414 -- (Blomfield's 'Hist. of Norfolk.')

John Glanville is mentioned in a Royal Charter, 1413 (R. Feod, p. 773), of London.

"Alianora Wingfield," page 49, the widow of Sir John Wingfield, was named Alianora (Inquisition 49 Edw. III., 54; Sir Harris Nicolas' 'Calendar of Heirs;' Add. MS. 19708), but it does not appear for certain whether she was the mother of his only child Catherine, who was returned her heir and aged 26 in 49 Edw. III.; she is also mentioned in the Will of William de Wingfield 6 Henry V. She married Michael de la Pole, created Earl of Suffolk Aug. 6th, 1385. He was a prominent Royalist and Lollard, for which he died in exile at Paris, Sept. 5th, 1389 (Inquisition); his widow died in 1405. Both were buried at Hull.

"Sir William de Vescy," page 46. Sir William de Vescy was most likely a member of the Vescys of Kildare, a family connected with the old Barons de Vescy by an illegitimate tie only.

Sortriope (?) Horabridge, near Tavistock, originally belonged to Jnope Glanville, and was sold by him to his brother John Glanville about the year 1600, the original Deed of Conveyance being now in the possession of Henry F. Pengelly Spry, Esq., who resides there. Mr. Spry also has portraits of the old Jnope and his wife, and their Coat of Arms. Some years ago Mr. Spry discovered two old granite posts, on one of which is cut the letters G./I. E. John and Elizabeth Glanville, and on the other the date 1666. Mr. Spry also has other old deeds which shew that the descendants of John Glanville married into the Godolphin family.

BROAD HINTON MANOR, WILTS.

It is said that the Glanvilles who resided at Broad Hinton at the time of the Civil Wars, threw all their plate into a well on the estate, to prevent it being seized by the Parliamentarians, and the Rev. J. A. Lloyd, the present Rector of Broad Hinton, informs me "that the old well has been cleaned out two or three times, and I have heard that the first time it was cleaned several things were secretly disposed of by the then tenant to a silversmith at Devizes. Mr. Brown, of the Lodge, Broad Hinton (since dead), bought, I believe, two curious vases which were found at the time. The well is some 150 feet deep."

De Gant

In an old Glanville pedigree it says that Julian de Gant was the wife of Henry de Glanville, Lord of Wooton Glanville. I have not come across any documentary evidence to prove this, although there is no doubt that there was an alliance between a Glanville and a Gant, and which also doubly connected the Stutevilles with both these families. Amongst numerous coats of arms, that of Glanville impaling Gant is still to be seen at Richard's Castle. (Vide 'Family of Hervey,' by Lord Hervey.) There is evidence to shew that Henry de Glanville also had a wife named Phillipa, but who she was I am unable to say. Dugdale and Burke make Robert de Gant the son -- not the brother, according to some authorities -- of Walter de Gant. He married (1) Avice (not Alice), daughter and heiress of William Paynel; (2) Gunnora, niece of Hugh de Gurney, who married (2), in or before 1200, Nicholas de Stuteville, son of William de Stuteville, and his wife Bertha, niece of Ranulph de Glanville, Lord Chief Justice, and daughter of his brother Gerard. There were two other Julians in the Gant family, one who married Geoffrey de Armentiers, and her niece, who is supposed to have died unmarried. (See Pedigree.)

Deeds relating to Holwell

Mr. Baring Gould, of Lew Trenchard, Devon, writing to me on the 24th June, 1882, says : "I saw Mr. Price Mitchell yesterday, the owner of Holwell, in Whitchurch, and he has promised to let me look through his early title-deeds for Glanville papers, but he says that his solicitor told him there was a heap of old deeds and marriage settlements of no use to him and advised their destruction. Burning at the stake would, be too light for such barbarians who destroy valuable historical documents. Mr. Mitchell says that he does not know whether his lawyer -- now dead -- did execute this crime or not, but he fancies all deeds before 1790 were destroyed."

1714. Oct. 29. -- John Glanville, John Glanville, junior, Francis Glanville, and Sarah Symons. Agreement between Ann Vinson, widow of Charles Vinson, Doctor of Physic, of Plymouth, and John Glanville and Dorothy his wife, John Glanville, junior, son and heir-apparent: to said John Glanville, Richard Glanville, gent., and Francis Glanville.

1742. May 1. -- Mr. John Glanville, the elder, of Parish of Whitchurch, and Sarah his wife. and John Glanville, jun., son and heir, Richard Glanville, of Brampton, in Devon, clerk Richard Spry, of Whitchurch, and Mellin Willcock, of Whitchurch, daughter of Simon Willcock.
Marriage settlement of John Glanville and Mellin Willcock.

1742. Oct. 22. -- John Glanville, the elder, and Sarah his wife, John Glanville, junior, and William Richards, of Tavistock, nephew and heir-at-law of Griffith Richards, and Dorothy his wife.
Mortgage.

1770. July 13. -- Mr. John Glanville. Mortgage to William Knighton, of Greenope (?): Esq., for £50.

1777. May 19. -- Further mortgage for £1116 2s. 8d.

1790. May 3. -- Julius Glanville, of Holwell, Whitchurch, eldest son and heir of John Glanville, late of same place. Mortgage to Wm and Ed Bray, gents.

1790. May 4. -- Conveyance in fee of Holwell to John Moore Knighton, of Greenope (?); Esq., son and executor of William Knighton, Esq., by Julius Glanville. It is plainly evident here that the last two generations of the Glanvilles of Holwell fell into difficulties, and that Julius Glanville was the last who possessed it, the estate having been in the family about 430 years.

Knights' Fees held by the Glanvilles, etc.
