(118) Altham of Mark Hall, Oxhey Place and Timbercombe

The Althams were prominent citizens of London in the 16th century. James Altham (d. 1583/4) purchased the Mark Hall estate in Latton (Essex) in 1562, where there was a large Tudor courtyard house in which he entertained Queen Elizabeth no less than three times in the 1570s. His eldest son became a Roman Catholic and was excluded from the succession on that account, so Mark Hall passed to his second son, Edward Altham (d. 1605). James's youngest son, Sir James Altham (c.1555-1617), became a successful lawyer and judge and he and his son, Sir James Altham (d. 1624) lived at Oxhey Place in Hertfordshire. Mark Hall passed in turn to two of Edward Altham's sons, Sir James Altham (1572-1610) and Sir Edward Altham (d. 1632), and then to the latter's son, Sir James Altham (1614-76), who was an active Royalist and was made a Knight of the Bath at the Restoration for his part in the Civil War.
