Queen Camel Manors and Estates - Victoria County History

In 1276 the king granted it to Queen Eleanor of Castile (d. 1290) for life xv and to hissecond wife, Margaret of France (d. 1317) in 1299. xvi In 1319 Edward II granted the manor tohis brother Edmund of Woodstock, xvii executed in 1330, whose widow received his crops butwhose forfeited estates were given to William Montagu. xviii William (d. 1344) was said tohold Camel only during the minority of Edmund‟s heir. xix Edmund‟s second son, John, earl ofKent came of age in 1351 but died childless in 1352 when the manor was granted to hiswidow Elizabeth (d. 1411). xx Her great nephew Thomas Holand, earl of Kent and duke ofSurrey (d. 1400) stored goods at Queen Camel. xxiElizabeth‟s five heirs were the sisters of Thomas Holand or their issue. xxii QueenCamel was assigned to the third sister Margaret (d. 1439), widow of John Beaufort, earl ofSomerset and later wife of Thomas of Lancaster, duke of Clarence. xxiii Margaret‟s son JohnBeaufort, duke of Somerset (d. 1444) was succeeded by his infant daughter Margaret, xxiv latercountess of Richmond (d. 1509) whose heir was her grandson Henry VIII. xxv St John‟s andChrist‟s Colleges, Cambridge, claimed it unsuccessfully from Margaret‟s trustees as part oftheir respective endowments. xxvi The king granted Queen Camel in 1537 to Sir WilliamFitzwilliam, later earl of Southampton (d. s.p. 1542) xxvii but Hazlegrove was let in 1508 toWilliam Morris and to John Smith in 1557, other demesne land to William Hodges in 1548,and the park to Sir William Sackville in 1552. xxviiiIn 1558 Philip and Mary sold the manor to Sir Walter Mildmay to hold for 1/40 of afee. xxix Sir Walter (d. 1589) was followed by his second son Sir Humphrey (d. 1613) andHumphrey‟s son, Humphrey (d. 1672) who was fined £1,840 in 1648 for supporting the king.The fine was remitted for supplying Holy Island and his estate was restored in 1649 xxx buthad been settled in 1647 on his second son Humphrey, partly to provide for his daughterCelia. The younger Humphrey resided at Hazlegrove, xxxi which in 1662 he settled on hismarriage to Sarah Parker. xxxii By c.1681 they had separated for his adultery and Sarah began

divorce proceedings for cruelty. In 1685 she was awarded the manor rents. xxxiii In 1689Humphrey (d. s.p. 1690) chose as his heir Carew Hervey Mildmay of Marks, Hornchurch,Essex, descendant of William Mildmay an older brother of Sir Walter (d. 1589). xxxiv In 1691Sarah, then of Westminster, leased her life interest to Carew who mortgaged it heavily. xxxvCarew Hervey Mildmay (d. 1743) left a son Carew (d. s.p. 1784) who made Anne,daughter of his brother Humphrey (d. 1761), his heir. In 1786 Anne (d. 1796) released thedemesnes to her niece Jane, daughter of Carew Mildmay (d. 1768), on her marriage to SirHenry Paulet St John who took the name Mildmay in 1790. xxxvi Jane (d. 1857) was followedin turn by her grandsons Paulet (d. 1858), Hervey (d. 1882), and the Revd Charles Arundell,sons of her second son Paulet (d. 1845) who gave Dogmersfield, Hants to his elder brother inexchange for the right to inherit Queen Camel. xxxvii Wyndham Mildmay (d. 1934) son ofCharles (d. 1904) was mentally ill and his brother George (d. s.p. 1931) held the manor.George sold the estate but acquired Townsend in the village for hunting and renamed itQueen Camel House. xxxviii In 1929 lordship passed to the new owner of Hazlegrove House,Major Stern, but was not recorded in the 1935 sale and in 1939 was claimed by Mrs K. M.Wilson. It was not recorded again and presumably remains with her heirs. xxxixManor HouseIn 1229 the king ordered a hall and chamber to be built at Camel and granted timber for workon his house, which cost over £163. xl In 1400 the house was said to contain only salt fish, oldarmour, and weapons of little value and not the luxury goods worth £1,000 from a ship atRooksmill as claimed. xli In 1508—9 only a grange, dovecot, and bartons were recorded, xlii themain demesne house was Hazlegrove farm, and the old house, described in the 18th centuryas having been a palace called the Court, had probably been demolished. xliii Court Close,adjoining the churchyard and with no buildings c.1610, xliv and Pigeon House Mead may be

the site of the manor house and dovecot. xlv Foundations of a house were said to have beenfound but there is no evidence to support Gerard‟s statement that there was a park there. xlviCulverhay, with dovecot and a house built c.1593 xlvii was last recorded in 1652 xlviii but in1841 a cottage near the mill was called Pigeon House. xlixHazlegrove HouseHazlegrove farm, described as a demesne grange in 1536, l was occupied by the demesnefarmers including William Morris, his widow and her second husband John Smith (d. 1558),John‟s son William, William‟s wife Mary Sanford and her second husband John Warre. li In1561 Hazlegrove was a modest house with hall, parlour and chamber on the ground floor,chambers over the hall and parlour, maid‟s and men‟s chambers, and a large, possiblydetached, kitchen with cheeseroom. That matches a drawing of 1573, which shows a threestorey,two or three bay house with a massive chimney or wing flanked by door and windowsand a smaller gable end chimney. A detached building to the west, linked to the house by awall, has a large upper window or louver. liiThe Mildmays rarely visited Queen Camel before the mid 17th century. HenryHebdich lived there from 1593 and the Rose family until the 1630s or later. liii By 1652 therewere both farm and mansion houses on the site and the younger Humphrey Mildmay residedin the latter. liv Carew Hervey Mildmay in 1713 had a coach way from Sparkford near the innthere probably to the coach house, reserved with the mansion from a lease of Hazlegrove in1719. lv He largely rebuilt the house in the 1730s and tax was paid on 94 windows in 1789. lviCarew and his son resided for short periods but also had houses in Sherborne and London aswell as Marks in Essex, demolished 1808. lvii Their successors were non-resident and thehouse was let furnished to Elizabeth (d. 1791), dowager countess of Glasgow and in 1793 toElizabeth Acland (d. 1807). lviii John Armstrong held it with 51 a. of grounds in the early 19th

century. lix In 1827 Paulet, second son of Lady Jane StJohn Mildmay brought his family tolive at Hazlegrove. lx Paulet (d. 1845) and his second son Hervey (1882) were responsible formajor alterations to the house and grounds including the demolition of the farm, which hadstood next to the mansion house. By c.1881 the three-storey house included basement cellars,a billiard room and a 12-bedroom top floor. lxiAfter 1845 the house was let out again except between 1886 and 1893. Tenantsincluded Mrs Strangways and Katherine, duchess of Westminster. In 1929 the house was soldto Major H. Stern and many fittings, some imported from elsewhere, were removed lxii before1935 when he sold it to Major Ellis Nuttall (d. 1951). It was used as a convalescent homeduring the Second World War, first by the Red Cross and in 1944 by the Admiralty. Since1947 it has been occupied by the junior school of King‟s School, Bruton, which bought itbefore 1958. Blocks of classrooms, a swimming pool, a hall and a chapel have been built onthe site. lxiiiThe 16th-century house survives, including the parlour with a framed ceiling withfloral motifs in thin-rib plaster panels, behind the hipped three-storey house of c.1730, whichhas a seven-bay ashlar south front and plain three-bay north-east range. Openings arecorniced below and pedimented on the first floor, gaping now with plate-glass replacingsmall panes. The north-east lias block has ashlar frames. Carew Mildmay‟s brotherHumphrey allegedly designed it based on a palace in Genoa, but no model can be identified.John Bastard of Blandford was at least responsible for the interior but probably not the northeastdining-room whose panelling, reputedly from Mildmay‟s house at Newington Green,London and in Grinling Gibbons style, has been in America since its sale to WilliamRandolph Hearst in 1929. The present early 18th-century marble chimney-piece was formerlyupstairs. The front entrance hall, study and drawing-room have painted large-field panels, thehall with acanthus cornice and columned doorcase and the hall and drawing-room have

elaborately carved marble chimney-pieces, reputedly Italian and the stone staircase haswrought-iron lyre balustrade and Palladian window.The 18th-century dog gates, badge of the Hervey family, were moved away from thehouse probably when the walled forecourt with domed bath-house was removed. Theforecourt outline was recently recreated in yew. Stables were built in 1852 by John Thomasof Queen Camel who built a ha-ha in 1853, a gardener‟s cottage in 1860, a French-style lodgein 1870—1, more stables and new kennels in 1871, and the entrance arch, which now standsbeside the Sparkford roundabout, in 1873—4 incorporating two late 17th-century arches fromLow Ham attributed to Jacques Rousseau, a Huguenot refugee in London. The designer of thearch and lodge and maybe other buildings was Henry Hall. lxivFormer fields around Hazlegrove House were gradually taken in to form newparkland and pleasure grounds before 1785 lxv and the Lawn east of the house was establishedby 1794 and included a hexagonal „bastion‟ over the „kennel-ground‟. lxvi In the 1800s 24 a. ofgrounds were let with the house lxvii and 51 a. by 1815. lxviii The great avenue from the formerHazlegrove Lane was shown in 1822. lxix By the 1880s most of the land between the houseand the main road had been used to create a 130-a. park. lxx During the 19th century one ortwo gamekeepers were occasionally employed and some of the increasing number ofgardeners probably worked on the grounds where builder John Thomas regularly realignedbeds, installed foundations for vases, and in 1876 removed boy statues from the front of thehouse. lxxiRECTORYThe church, said to have been given to Cleeve abbey by William Roumare before 1198 lxxii orby Hubert de Burgh in 1202, lxxiii was actually granted by Hubert in 1223 and Bishop Jocelynconfirmed the gift. lxxiv In 1281 it provided clothing for the monks lxxv and in 1297 was

assigned to the abbey porter to provide the monks‟ clothing and bread for the poor and tosupport a chantry in Woolavington,. lxxvi In 1231 Jocelyn Day or de Oye gave the abbot 4virgates of land and 8 a. of meadow given him by Hubert de Burgh. lxxvii By 1317 the rectorycomprised tithes, houses, rents, over 191 a. of land, and common pasture divided between theabbey and the vicar worth over £33. lxxviii A lot of meadow, probably intermixed with themanorial demesne, had been exchanged by 1508. lxxixIn 1333 the abbey was allowed to farm out the rectory, a practice that probablycontinued beyond the Dissolution. lxxx In 1536 the rectory was farmed for £15 about half ofwhich supported two chantries in Woolavington lxxxi but in 1558 the bishop of Bath and Wellsclaimed the rent. lxxxii The 16th-century farmers were usually the tenants of Hazlegrove. lxxxiiiIn 1607 the Crown granted the rectory to Sir Roger Aston and others whoimmediately sold it to Humphrey Newman. In 1616 Humphrey sold it to his brotherRobert lxxxiv who in 1675, with his wife Dorothy and son Robert, conveyed it to Sir FrancisHolles Bt. and Sir Edward Hungerford, probably in trust. lxxxv In 1690 it was settled on themarriage of Francis Holles Newman and Eleanor Mompesson and descended with theirmanor of North Cadbury lxxxvi until 1788 when it was settled on Catherine, daughter of FrancisNewman (d. 1818), for her marriage to the Revd James Rogers. Despite a successful claim toownership by Catherine‟s cousin Francis Newman the younger, lxxxvii the 73-a rectory estatewith 53 a. of Newman family land remained in the Rogers family, passing to James‟s sonFrancis Newman Rogers (d. 1851), Francis‟s sons Francis (d. unm. 1859) and the RevdEdward (d. s.p. 1910), and Francis Newman Rogers, nephew of the last, before beingsold. lxxxviiiThe medieval rectory house was occupied by the vicar but only a barn was recordedin 1527. The present farmhouse was probably built by the farmer in the late 16th century withhouses for his tenants before 1616. lxxxix In 1842 the rectory consisted of a single farm and a

tithe rent charge of £364. xc Rectory Farmhouse, a two-room cross-passage house of c.1600,was extended in the later 17th and 19th centuries and later divided. The 15th-century barn,extended in the 17th century, and other farm buildings were converted into dwellings in thelate 20th century. xciWALESSir Henry Rogers claimed lands in Wales were held of him in 1502 and his son Sir Johnclaimed to hold a manor of Wales in 1522. xcii No other trace of this lordship has been foundbut many lands at Wales were not held of Queen Camel manor and in 1815 the Crownclaimed most of Mrs Crowbrow‟s estate was held of it in free and common socage. xciiiCauntelo estatesA branch of the Cauntelo family held land at Wales under the overlordship of the Cauntelosof Eaton Bray, Beds. until 1273 or later. xciv Roger de Cauntelo held the estate in the late 12thcentury and was followed by his son Robert and grandson William son of Richard,presumably younger brother of Robert. William may have been a minor in 1229 when hisestate was a knight‟s fee. xcv Some land may have been given to Muchelney abbey but in 1256William acquired more land from Christiana, wife of John Pocock, and her sister Alice, xcviheld as a quarter fee c.1273. xcvii His son William complained in 1288 that a messuage, acarucate, 4 a. of meadow, and 11s. rent were taken into the king‟s hand during the minority ofhis overlord and given to Henry of Woolavington whose son Henry retained them. xcviiiWilliam de Cauntelo failed to recover the estate, which was held by Henry son ofNicholas of Woolavington in 1308. xcix It descended with the manor of Woolavington andCossington to Nicholas Ayshford (d. 1557), c Nicholas (d. c.1585), ci Roger (d. 1611), cii andHenry (d. 1650), who divided it in 1585 ciii into four holdings totalling 78a. in 1687. In 1612

the Ayshfords claimed a further 100 a. of grass at Wales, possibly the Knoyle land, but didnot repeat the claim. civ Henry was succeeded by his grandson Henry Ayshford (d. s.p.c.1662). cv Arthur Ayshford (d. 1670), cousin and heir to the last, was followed by his brotherJohn (d. 1689). cvi In 1700 the next male heir, Nicholas Ayshford, nephew of Henry (d. 1650),released his claim in favour of John Sanford, grandson of the same Henry. cvii John (d. 1711)sold the estate to tenants and local farmers. cviiiMuchelney abbey estateNicholas Punsot, William de Cauntelo‟s tenant, bought from Thomas Atrum 55 a. in Wales,which Sir James Earnshill had given to his daughter Mabel, wife of Thomas. In 1240Nicholas gave it to Muchelney abbey, possibly with land he held of William de Cauntelo ashis son William Punsot and the abbot were released from suit of court for lands held ofCauntelo. In 1277 the abbot secured a release of two houses and 47 ½ a. in Queen Camelfrom Henry, son of Richard Franke. cix Those estates were presumably all absorbed into theabbey‟s West Camel manor cx but were held of the Crown and the Countess of Salisbury. cxiThe unlicensed gift of a tenement to Muchelney by Richard Barbour, chaplain, whose familyheld Wales mill in 1508, escheated to the manor. cxii After the Dissolution Muchelney‟s landdescended with the earl of Hertford‟s manor of West Camel cxiii but was sold off after 1624; cxivat least part belonged to the Old family and later the Goodfords in the 18th century. By theearly 19th century c. 10 a. formed part of William Taunton‟s estate and the rest was probablythe Mildmay land at Wales (87 a.), both tithe free. cxvWales House estateJohn Wyne (d. c.1528) bought Richard Barbour‟s Wales tenement (63 a.) c.1506. John‟s sonWilliam (d. c.1571) cxvi was followed by his son William (d. 1603) who left the estate, held of

Queen Camel manor, to his wife Joan. It passed to William Perry (d. 1640), probably Joan‟sson, and by 1646 to William Overton (d. 1655) whose namesake William Overton (d. 1685),probably his nephew, exchanged lands with John Lodwell. cxvii William was followed byattorney Andrewes Overton (d. by 1736), whose son William absconded leaving his familyon the parish. cxviii His property at Wales was sold to Constantine Crowbrow in 1759.Crowbrow (d. c.1799) bought further land to form the Wales House estate, which heleft to his wife Dorothy (d. 1806) whose heir was John Healey. An informer proved that shewas born illegitimate and could have no heir. In 1817 her estate escheated to the Crown andto Mildmay as overlord. Some Crown land went to the informer and the rest was auctioned insmall lots; mostly acquired then or later by the Mildmays. cxixWales House, a 17th-century farmhouse described as „fair‟ c.1646 and „neat‟ in the1730s, cxx was remodelled, probably by Constantine Crowbrow. It was bought by GeorgeTuson but by 1832 cxxi had been acquired by Richard Feaver (d. 1874) who altered andextended it, probably providing a Tuscan portico and walled and railed front court. cxxii By1904 it had been bought as a home for Wyndham Mildmay and was altered in 1927. cxxiiiOther estates at WalesIn 1396 Walter Sexey and his wife Letitia sold their Wales land to Thomas Knoyle (fl.1405). cxxiv William Knoyle (d. 1502), son of another Thomas, held 60 a. in Wales of SirHenry Rogers and 10 a. of Queen Camel manor and was followed in the direct male line byPeter, a minor in 1502, cxxv Leonard (d. 1532), Edward, who came of age in 1551, cxxvi andWilliam (d. 1608). The land, said to be 100 a., may be that claimed by the Ayshfords in1612. cxxviiWilliam Montagu (d. by 1339) had lands at Wales, which passed to his brotherNicholas, Nicholas‟s son Robert, and Robert‟s son John (d. by 1429). cxxviii William de

Montagu (d.1489) claimed 10 houses, 200 a. and 10s. rent. His widow Alice (d. 1499), wassucceeded by Robert (d. 1509), son of William‟s son William (d. by 1482). cxxix Robert‟s heirwas Thomas Montagu (d. 1522) whose son Robert cxxx probably sold a house and 149 a. toJohn Pitman c.1540. cxxxi The rest of the land with eight houses passed after 1572 to Marywife of Andrew Parsons (fl. c.1630) and her sister Elizabeth Cheeke. cxxxii The descent of thelands is uncertain but a house, dovecot and 49 a. sold by John Lodwell to the Lamb family ofWest Camel were acquired by the Mildmay trustees in 1829. Another part of the estate wasacquired by Constantine Crowbrow. cxxxiiiBefore 1548 John Nabbe gave 7 ½ a. to support a priest in Kingsbury. It was seizedby the Crown in 1571 and its descent and whereabouts are unknown but an earlier tenant wasWilliam Wyne so it may have been sold to that family. cxxxivNETHER ADBERAs early as 1282 the lady of Adber‟s land paid tithe to the vicar of Queen Camel. cxxxv Achapel was recorded in 1361 cxxxvi but the estate, consisting of Northwood and Haygrove, theEast field, and some meadow, was broken up into small parcels by 1364. cxxxvii There were nohouses, except a roadside cottage in the early 18th century, and land changed handsfrequently. cxxxviii In 1574 Edmund Huntley described his estate as a manor but the manor ofNether Adber lay in Trent parish cxxxixAndrew Homer heir to Emme, wife of Walter Parkes conveyed Haygrove (c. 50 a.)and unspecified lands to John Ledred and his wife Katherine between 1364 and 1372. Johndied c.1383 and the land passed to his son Henry and Henry‟s son Roger. cxl Roger was deadby 1439 and before 1442 his widow married William Kelway, who in 1446 conveyedHaygrove to Richard Strode and John Kelway. cxli In 1501—2 Richard Strode, grandson ofRoger Ledred, cxlii released his interest in Haygrove to another William Kelway. cxliii By 1539 it

elonged to Giles Penny cxliv in whose family it descended until 1658 when George Penny andhis son Anthony sold it to John Eastment. cxlv Before 1726 it was acquired by CarewMildmay cxlvi and in 1885 the Mildmays purchased c. 25 a. of the adjoining East field. cxlviiThe East field in Nether Adber was bought by John Whiteford or Wydeford (d. by1373) and in 1381 his widow Margaret held his estates. cxlviii Descent is uncertain but thelargest part (c. 60 a) was owned by Edmund Huntley who sold it in 1574 probably to thetenant William Adams (d. 1614) who was succeeded by his son Richard. cxlix It was later heldby the Raymond cl and Hody families until the death in 1846 of John Hody Chichester, greatgreat nephew of John Hody (d. 1729) who had added a further 33 a. cli By the late 19thcentury the land had been sold to several people including the Mildmays. cliiOTHER ESTATESIn 1280 Idonea Michel was in dispute with Robert son of John Michel over a house and 43 a.she had been given by John but they later agreed to share it. In 1285 Idonea and her thenhusband William Miles sold her estate to John de Horsted and his wife Alice and it estateprobably descended with Alice‟s South Cadbury estate. cliiiWilliam Milborne had an estate in Queen Camel in 1382, cliv which probablydescended in the family to George Milborne (d. 1559) clv who was followed by his widowJulian, son Giles (d. c.1575) clviand Giles‟s son George who held it of Queen Camelmanor. clvii George (d. by 1642) was succeeded by his son John (d. 1664), John‟s eldest sonWilliam (d. c.1662), and nephew William Milborne, son of George, clviii who sold it in 1714 toJames Medlycott probably in trust for Samuel Lambert (d. c.1738) who bought more land in1719 and 1726. His son Samuel (d. s.p. after 1752) was succeeded by his brother John who in1794 sold it to the Mildmay trustees. A capital messuage, site unknown, was recorded in1545. clix
